"This California State Park is located in the Anderson Valley, a historic agricultural area located in the Navarro river watershed. While only 120-ish miles from San Francisco, this area is remote. "

It was great! The nearby towns or phill and boonville are super cute."

"The convenience of being so close to town, yet feeling like you’re in the forest is hard to beat. There are showers & restrooms, although the showers operate on quarters."
"Even though you are so close to town this is off the beaten path and you can’t even get into this campground unless you have a reservation."
"It is right off of the highway, yet it feels so secluded. The beach is beautiful and the campsites are roomy."

$10 - $35 / night
"The camp is right next to the road, but traffic was minimal. There is some hiking in the area, but no trails from the campground, you will need to drive to a trailhead."
"Nice campsite with around 27 ish spots. First come first serve at $35 as of 2025. I went tent camping but you can probably bring in a small RV."
"3 sites are currently closed due to COVID to encourage social distancing; sites fill up quickly on weekends; no on-site camp host, but Cal Fire does come through to write receipts and pick up trash."
"The Mendocino redwoods RV resort just outside of Willits on CA-20 to Fort Bragg, California, was 3 years ago a KOA resort."
"We were just a few steps from the pool, which was clean, but pretty cold. It didn’t seem like it was heated. If it is, it’s not heated well."
ScoutNice campsite with around 27 ish spots. First come first serve at $35 as of 2025. I went tent camping but you can probably bring in a small RV.
It’s only a 20 ish minute drive to the coast, which can be nice since the trees give you a blockage of the rough winds from the coast.
There’s a river nearby and a small trail (less than a mile?). There was a loud group at like 1am, but majority of time people are quite after 11
Traveler4 of the sites are on the bulkhead of the beach ($98 after tax), have water but no power. The rest are close enough. Clean bathrooms. Fish cleaning station. Coin operated showers. Friendly staff.
ScoutLovely location for campaign in wine country. Marked places to park, surrounded by hills and trees . Host is very gracious and comes out to meet you. They even let us plug our van in overnight.
ScoutMy wife’s family has been going here for over 30 years. 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.
GuideFirst time camping and going somewhat off road.
If you’re worried about your vehicle making it up we saw a tesla and a nissan altima up there. My subaru made it up perfectly. I would however recommend AWD or a little higher clearance.
South road is somewhat rough and the north road seems to be the smoother but longer road.
Clean area, but dusty. Can be busy 2 other campers showed up quietly while I was asleep but kept their distance. Where I set up there were some log chairs and a previously built fire pit.
Very beautiful and quiet, can be extremely cold at night and morning so be prepared!
We did not got many bugs which was great.
GuideWe had a great nights stay here. The Pub is fantastic! Great staff, store, heated pool. There is a moderate trail down to the river.
TravelerI believe this is not campsite anymore. The coordinates took us to someone’s private driveway. We tried to get to the pinpoint from another way and ran into another closed gate. No idea..
GuideThis is a first come first served campground. We got there at around 2pm and there were only 2 other campers. By the end of the night most of the spots had filled up. The beach was very quiet with few other visitors. This campground/state park is right at the mouth of the Navarro river so you can walk the river bank and then the beach! Porta-potties were recently serviced, picnic table, fire ring. Sites are close together- resembling a parking lot. This is my favorite beach so far and worth the price of $35/night.
RangerThe trail in is basically an old mountain pass logging road that isn't maintained the best. It's narrow in spots and steep grade. I towed my offroad camper up without issue but its only 13ft long. I wouldn't advise anything much larger then 18ft. I did have to use 4x4 on some of the grades due to the trailer but if just in a vehicle it would be pretty easy. It would definitely present a challenge if it has just rained or was raining. It's true dispersed camping of pack in and pack it out. There's no facilities or trash. Plenty of space to spread out. Don't forget to air down those tires when going out on the beach. I would definitely come back to this one. Also the internet test was based on my Starlink not cell service. I have Verizion and had no service here.
