What campers like
Views of water: Campers appreciate waterfront camping options in the region. "Beautiful, quiet clean dog friendly park with very nice helpful staff. Large brick sites. Road to get into the park is rough but take your time, it's worth the drive," says a visitor at Rio Viento RV Park.

Tips for camping with families
Pet-friendly options: Many campgrounds welcome dogs with designated areas. "AND HUGE fenced area to walk your dog OFF LEASH. Close to several amenities and just off I5. I'd give this place 6 stars if I could!" reports an enthusiastic camper at Flag City RV Resort.
Limited kid-specific amenities: Few campgrounds offer playgrounds or dedicated children's activities. "There are no picnic tables around, but nothing in terms of entertainment for kids. Thank goodness we brought the kids' bikes!!" shares a visitor at San Francisco RV Resort.
Pool availability: Several campgrounds maintain swimming pools, though sizes vary. "Pool and hot tub space is cramped and tiny but clean," notes a San Francisco RV Resort visitor describing their recreation options.
Tips from RVers
Site leveling requirements: Many RV parks have relatively level sites but some need adjustment. "Sites are gravel and level. Nice area for pets with view," reports a visitor at Marin RV Park.
Hookup positioning: Pay attention to utility placement when setting up. "My only complaint, the water spigot is really close to the ground and really close to the sewer drain. Scrub with bleach before booking up your water and you'll be fine," advises a Sugar Barge RV Resort visitor.
Big rig accommodation: Most parks can handle larger RVs but site selection matters. "Full hookup sites with 50-amp service," are available at multiple locations, though larger rigs should request pull-through sites when possible to avoid tight turns within campgrounds.
