"Great scenery, and many of the tent sites are tucked away in little nooks and crannies for privacy if you don’t want the more open outer ring sites."

"With a good location you can take some walks to the Salmon River. The pull thru was long but is very narrow. Time you are setup, the camp side of the site is very small."
"On the outskirts of Bodega Bay."
ScoutLove this place been coming here since 1980 owed by the same person
TravelerPaid a premium price for a Saturday one nighter, but it certainly is a great VIP campsite. The host says they will come around in the morning and empty our tanks! No need to hook up our sewer hose!
Traveler3 main spots in the beginning, Drowned trees to assess further down the other road. Very bumpy and dusty, not a 4x4 needed road
LegendCheck in was fine. Got wrong direction how to get to the site. After looping around to approach the site, I found the streets all very tight for RV maneuvering. The place was packed. Had a pull through FHU site. Pretty narrow. Seems like a common theme. Great things for kids to be entertained by and enjoy for sure. We were passing through and I think we would have been better served elsewhere. Our site was patches of grass and looked like it needed some TLC. Tested the water-Water tested as acceptable tap water after running it through an external filter. 21 elements checked, all within range. Dissolved solids were 251...pretty high. The worst water in our 6 week trip. Must be a California thing.

RangerI have to confess that I feel pretty silly for not being as prepared for the sand as I should have been from the name of the campground. Who would have thought!?
We walked around sites 22-55 and all seem to be entirely on the sand. Come prepared to deal with sand.
The campground itself it pretty nice. Walkable to the Pacific Coast, very walkable to Bodega Harbor, and direct access to the trails of Bodega Head. The campground is also just a short drive from the town of Bodega Bay, which offers a few restaurants and limited services.
In June of 2025 the bathrooms in the site #22-55 loop was undergoing a pretty major renovation and portable toilets were in use.
We did see a few foxes, or the same fox a few times, so make sure to keep camp sites clean.
GuideRiver Bend Resort has a great helpful staff, great Russian River wine country location and is next to the Russian River pub. And campground overall is average, so long as you’re on the outer rim. Interior RV sites seem to be full-time residents and very cramped. Tent sites near the river are unbelievably cramped. Bathrooms are well-maintained. General store is skimpy unless you’re looking for beverages or branded apparel. And the traffic noise is considerable.
TravelerThe drive up was full of breathtaking views, and even though the road was quite bumpy, dusty, and steep at times, our AWD Kia made it up no problem. Only two other groups were set up so not crowded, plenty of spots. Only complaint is that one group that was set up near us went hunting in the middle of the night, so the gunshots scared us at first because there are signs that say hunting is illegal in this area. Otherwise it was great!
GuideThis was another nice KOA not too far from the sea shore. The staff were friendly and the facilities were as expected. They had movie night for the kids and "no kids" hot tub hours for the adults. There were tent sites as well as the regular RV sites. We had some shade, and we were able to get a good Starlink signal. WiFi cost extra, so we didn't bother with the campground's WiFi access. There is an ACE hardware / grocery store in town (who knew these 2 things go so well together), and there is beach access not far away. There is also the Manchester State Park right next door, where there is FCFS camping. It was almost entirely empty. If you don't need the camp amenities, this would be a viable option. NB: many of the SP sites did not have shade or wind protection.
