Such a gem here! Less than two hours from Oakland. We'll return soon.
Highlights:
1. Sites 13 and 15 of the Bodega Dunes loop are by far the best sites. The others had uneven tent pads or awkward orientations. The pull-throughs are barely off the road and very sandy. Take extra blocks if you go because our site was uneven tip to tail.
2. Easy to maneuver big rigs, we saw some 5th wheels, and 25+ footers in here.
3. This smaller loop of Bodega dunes is so quite, the other loops are sandy and crowded close together. It was a very different vibe. It was Memorial Day weekend but our site was out of chaos down below, kids running all around. Great if you have a gaggle and want to let loose, but if not, stick to the loop with sites 13 and 15.
4. A very short drive to the water.
5. A little trial behind the site connects you to a Sunday farmers market and a Mexican restaurant. That's about a 10 minute scenic walk.
6. The dump station and water fill up spigot were excellent.
7. It's 10 minute drive to Fishermen's cove. A FANTASTIC restaurant. Everything we ate was excellent.
8. Nice people.
9. The fire bundles are small for $10 so maybe (gulp) bring some with you.
Bad: nothing I can think of. We didn't use the facilities.
