3 campgrounds with availability this weekend
Rustic cabins pepper the woodlands near Boonville, offering retreaters a blend of forest immersion and basic comforts. Hendy Woods State Park Campground maintains cabins set among towering redwoods with electricity and basic furnishings. "We stayed at Hendy Woods for one night in early October. What a beautiful campground nestled under a redwood forest with great running/hiking trails in the park," noted one visitor. Nearby, Manchester Beach / Mendocino Coast KOA provides more developed cabin accommodations with electricity, water hookups, and indoor facilities. The Narrows Lodge Resort and Thousand Trails Russian River also feature cabin rentals with varying levels of amenities, from basic sleeping quarters to units with full bathrooms.
Depending on the specific property, cabins range from rustic one-room structures to more comprehensive accommodations with separate sleeping areas. Cloverdale/Healdsburg Campground offers cabin options with picnic tables and fire rings outside, while maintaining access to communal bathrooms and showers. Most cabin sites allow pets on leash with additional fees. Reservations are strongly recommended, particularly during summer months when the Anderson Valley wine region sees increased tourism. According to feedback on The Dyrt, "Hendy Woods is a gem, and will always occupy a fond place in my memories. It's not quite what you experience in Humboldt County, but it's about 100 miles closer to the Bay Area and it's a magical place."
Most cabins provide beds with mattresses but require visitors to bring their own linens, pillows, and blankets. Kitchen facilities vary significantly—some cabins offer mini-refrigerators and microwaves while others provide only outdoor cooking options at designated fire rings. Basic supplies can be purchased at the Navarro General Store or Lemmons Market as mentioned by campers in reviews. Campground markets at locations like Manchester Beach KOA stock essential items, though selection is limited. Mendocino Redwoods RV Resort and Pine Acres Blue Lake Resort maintain on-site stores for forgotten items. Firewood is available for purchase at most cabin locations, with bundle prices typically ranging from $6-8.

"A heated cabin and pad on bed that was comfortable. Got showers and a family vibe. Great location for scouting Mendocino coastline and Pt Arena. No wifi though so don't bring work."
"So we tried out one of these little cedar cabins. It was fantastic!!"
"This is a rustic park with no sewer hookups, so you need to bring a sewer caddy, and also, they have laundry onsite. They are remodeling and repairing and it is coming along very nicely."
"Showers and restrooms and laundry. Plus the beautiful Russian River."
"Turns out it's closed to camping now, so I took a flyer and looked at this park. I managed to grab what appeared to be the last spot available for the Friday and Saturday night stay I had planned."

"Love this spot for glamping it has a fishing pond, swimming pool, and a hiking trail! Very beautiful scenery! Very close to the town of Cloverdale about a 5-10 min drive!"
"I found this KOA pretty low key. Has quite a bit activities for families. A small pond to fish. Campsites were pretty maintained and spacious. Staff were friendly and helpful."
from $89 - $109 / night
"We received a key to our own bathroom and shower! They had a sink to was dishes in and a place to clean our fish. We rented a motor boat for a few hours to explore the beautiful lake. Pet friendly."
"It’s a family RV & cabin campground with a lot of great amenities. The new owners (5 years now) are very friendly and helpful making the whole experience a stellar visit."

"Our spot was nice and clean and next to the creek. Large enough for our three cars three tents and extra table and plenty of room to set up chairs around the fire for us."

TravelerThis was a nice stay and the owner was friendly and helpful. It has showers, but no pet area or great place to walk dogs. It had full amenities for RVs and both pull in and back in sites. Closely spaced, but awning room. The only two drawbacks are that the price is high for the area, as is the area itself. There are some options to save, so it may be in your budget.
GuideI enjoyed my two night stay here, the location is great right on the water.
Campsites are very close together and the Bodega Bay foghorn goes off every 10 seconds 24/7 and that got annoying.
Great for Starlink
TravelerThis has been an honestly fun time. Many unexpected things, like movies now night, community campfire, and great of leash dog park area. The staff are so helpful. Delivered fire wood and propane to the site. If you’re not able to score a site with sewer hook-up, don’t worry. They offer a honey bucket service that comes to your RV for $15. All the usual amenities at a KOA, plus a pool, game room, and small general store. We will definitely be back. Oh and, look for a place to enjoy Thanksgiving, this place have a community pot luck, bring a side dish to share. They provide the turkey.
TravelerThe pros: the location is stunning. The beach is great, plus being situated right between Mendocino and Fort Bragg means lots of options for other sights to see and great restaurants too. The store is a nice bonus, the WiFi worked well near the entrance and the front part of camp, and every person I encountered who worked there was pleasant and helpful.
The cons: it is crowded as hell (at least during peak season in July) and no one cares at all about the posted quiet hours (and they don’t seem to be enforced). The tent sites do seem more spacious than the RV sites, but you’re still right on top of each other. I have terrible hearing and could still hear word for word what the family next to me was saying as they loudly chattered and laughed away at 11pm (kid, referring to my site: “Is someone in that tent?” adult: “Yeah, no one we know.” 😭)
I think the best way to visit again would be with friends who are in sites right next to you, so you have a better sense of what you’re getting into!
ScoutAbundant bad reviews were available for this campground but we had no major issues. Bathrooms and pool were in good condition.
TravelerSo the staff here are really nice and helpful and trying to keep the place up. There is definitely not enough staff for the size of of the grounds here. The river is super low right now but it's mid July inland in California so that's expected. Getting down to the river access is either by being dropped off by a car and then picked back up when you are done OR walking down the windy steep road and then back UP when you are tired and hungry and hot etc. If you have a mobility issue be prepared to get help. My husband has prosthetics and we couldn't be down at the same time without a lot of back and forth with the vehicle. The bathroom/bathhouse in A section of the park is trashed. I don't have a nicer way to put that. We lost water the second night we were there and that lasted most of the next day and then power went out at 11pm three nights later and was off for almost 24 hours. We more than likely won't be staying there again anytime soon. It looks like it used to be a really nice spot but it has just been neglected and abused.
GuideThis RV park has many types of sites with pool, kid playgrounds and very large sights
ScoutI absolutely love this place it was the friendliest place and super clean, I would recommend anyone to come and stay ❤️
ScoutThe employees are great, great attitudes.No problems whatsoever!

Beach excursions: Cabins along Highway 1 offer coastal access. A visitor at Manchester Beach / Mendocino Coast KOA shares, "Perfect location to set up and use as a base of operations while you explore up and down the mendocino coast." Their cabins provide heated accommodations for exploring coastal areas during cooler months.

Park rangers hosted guided hikes, nighttime stargazing (with telescopes), and nightly campfires."
