Best RV Parks & Resorts near Clearlake, CA
RV parks near Clearlake include The Aurora RV Park & Marina in Nice, offering full hookups with both 50-amp service and waterfront sites along the shoreline. Sites are equipped with picnic tables and access to trash disposal, with the lakeside spots requiring careful backing. "Tight squeeze. The lakeside spots are very tight together and require backing in. If your neighbor has a slider you are wall to wall," noted one visitor about the Aurora's configuration. Konocti Vista RV Park in Lakeport features big-rig friendly concrete pads with full hookups including water, electric, and sewer connections, positioned near the casino complex with trash service and shower facilities. Russian River RV Campground (Thousand Trails) in Cloverdale provides 30-amp hookups but no sewer connections at individual sites, with limited maneuvering space on deteriorating asphalt pads.
Road access varies significantly across the region's RV destinations. Navigation to Russian River requires careful driving on narrow roads where larger rigs may scrape on uneven surfaces. Several reviews mentioned the need for honey wagon service at parks without full hookups, with one camper noting, "No sewer but they do have a dumping station and a honey pot service for $35." Most parks remain open year-round, though summer heat can be intense during July and August. Pet policies generally allow dogs at all the major RV parks, though leash requirements vary. Cell service remains reliable near the lake's edge but may diminish in campgrounds nestled against surrounding hillsides. For those planning extended stays, limited laundry facilities exist within the parks themselves—several provide outdoor machines or require trips to nearby towns for laundry service.
