We all love roasting marshmallows over a campfire—and you can often still do that while cabin camping in Dublin. Finding a cozy cabin in California has never been easier. From secluded to easy-to-reach, these California cabin rentals are perfect for any adventurer.
Del Valle campgrounds will be closed until further notice, due to storm damage.
Deep in a valley framed by oak-covered hills, with sailboats and sailboards skimming over its waters, Del Valle is like a lakeside resort only 10 miles south of Livermore.
The centerpiece of the park is a lake five miles long with a variety of water-oriented recreation, from swimming to windsurfing and boating, surrounded by 4,395 acres of beautiful land for hiking, horseback riding, and nature study. Del Valle also is the eastern gateway to the Ohlone Wilderness Trail, 28 miles of scenic back-country trail.
Family Campground: The Del Valle Family Campground has 150 sites (two accessible), 21 of them with water and sewage, and electrical hook-ups (120 volt, 50 and 30 amp). The sites are served by centrally located toilets and shower facilities.
Group camps: There are several group campsites for groups of 11 people or more.
Equestrian camps: The Little Chaparral horse camp area has 4 small paddocks. The reservation of one paddock includes space for 1-2 horses, 4 people maximum, and parking for one trailer and rig only. Equestrian groups should reserve the Caballo Loco equestrian group camp as Little Chaparral is not designed for group use. Please note that horses are not allowed in developed areas of the park.
CAMPGROUND CLOSED DUE TO FIRE:
Public access to Big Basin has been severely impacted by the 2020 CZU Lightning Complex Fire and ongoing fire recovery work, but the park is now open for limited day-use access. Reservations for parking are not required, but are encouraged due to the limited amount of first-come, first-served parking available. Reserve a parking space. The parking fee is $6 per vehicle plus a $2 reservation fee or $10 per vehicle without a reservation. No reservations or fees are required for visitors arriving by foot, bike, or bus. Read the FAQs for more information on the reservation system and visiting Big Basin.
Established in 1902, Big Basin Redwoods is California’s oldest state park. In the heart of the Santa Cruz Mountains, Big Basin camping's biggest attractions—literally—are its ancient coast redwoods. Some of these giants are more than 50 feet around and as tall as the Statue of Liberty. At 1,000 to 1,800 years old, some may predate the Roman Empire. The park also offers spectacular views of the Pacific Ocean, lush waterfalls, and a fascinating natural and cultural history.
The park has more than 80 miles of trails. Some of these trails link Big Basin to Castle Rock State Park and the eastern reaches of the Santa Cruz range. The Skyline to the Sea Trail threads its way through the park along Waddell Creek to the beach and adjacent Theodore J. Hoover Natural Preserve, a freshwater marsh.
The park has a number of waterfalls, a variety of habitats (from lush canyon bottoms to sparse chaparral-covered slopes), many animals (deer, raccoons, bobcats) and lots of bird life—including Steller’s jays, egrets, herons and California woodpeckers.

I had a very different take on this place than the others. The RV spot was a fair distance from the neighboring spots, it was low-density, quite, all good qualities, but there was very little see or do near the loop. There were no hikes suitable for young kids as far as I could tell. There was a little store for ice cream and camping supplies and dump station on the loop. HOWEVER, WARNING: the road around the campground looks wide but there are boulders every 10 feet or so making it insanely hard to back into our spot - and we had only a 22ft trailer! I can't see myself coming back here. The maps do accurately depict the relatively narrow space you have for back in spots. Once we were in, it was fine. The pedestal and sewer set-up was just fine. No issues there. It's just not worth the hassle.
As for the park/water part of the park, well, it was covered in garbage from the day-trippers. It was packed and only accessible by driving to it. Truly not a place I wanted to BBQ or picnic at. Cars, people, dogs, loud music, and garbage. A gross diaper on the shore. We took a very nice hike starting at the dog run. That was beautiful, but not worth the trip.
I didn't bother to photograph our site. There were all adequate, just avoid back in site here. There are so many better places to visit. I checked this off the list, no reason to return. I don't believe there was reception either from the campsite.
Last thing, we peaked in on the cabins in our loop. They looks very nice and maintained.

We stayed 1 night and it was perfect. The staff was very nice and the place was clean and quiet. There are toilets and showers on the campground and it only cost 10$!
the campsite is perfect for traveling through and getting a night's sleep.
ScoutMembership park will accept outsiders — on the delta with marina for boaters and fishing
Guide
We liked the surrounding area and gorgeous rolling hills and while we were able to get a good spot it was not a campground that stood out too much to us. The pool is great though it was too cold to use it while we were there. No sewer hook up but dump station was close from our side. Overall happy with the stay
Scout
This is nice little campground that is only about 15 minutes from downtown Livermore. It’s a great escape from the craziness of the Bay Area without having to drive too far. The lack of cell reception really helps the feeling of being away from the city life. There was quite a bit of wildlife roaming through the park mainly in the early morning. I saw deer and turkeys roaming the campground.
The restrooms and showers were clean and functional. Maybe a bit outdated, but I don’t see that as a negative considering everything works. It’s also nice that the showers are free, no need to bring your roll of quarters.
The close proximity to the lake and all the hiking trails is a huge plus.
The only negatives I can mention are the camp store and the lack of privacy at each site. It seems like the camp store is only open on Saturdays which means if you need anything, it’s close to an hour long commitment to drive into Livermore, buy what you need, and drive back. I’m not sure if that’s always the case but when I visited in April that was what the sign had posted. As far as the lack of privacy, I don’t think it’s a deal breaker since there is a good amount of space between sites but they are all fully exposed. I can see these being a bit of a problem especially on a crowded weekend.
Overall a nice campground in a good location with plenty to do in the area.

Big Basin is unfortunately closed to camping. You can't even bring a trailer in for day use as parking is very limited. This is due to a fire a few years back that devastated the park and completely burned down all structures, including ranger station, store, and all restrooms.
It is a shame because it is/was a fantastic place.
ScoutGreat lake and fishy, clean sites, bathrooms are great. All around awesome camping
ScoutReally friendly and accommodating staff, clean park. Excellent experience.
ScoutStayed at one of the hookup sites with my son for a night in our 21ft trailer. We had a great time. With much of the campground closed we had lots of places to hike right near our site. Sites were well spaced apart and even though our loop was full it did not feel crowded. Would go back.

This place is awesome! Has a cute restaurant on the water too. Very clean facilities, it’s right on the water- the California delta river. They have paddle boards you can rent and go out on the water in the morning. They have cute little cottages people can rent too. Very peaceful and fun atmosphere. They had live music on the Saturday we were there. Highly recommend!
Scout
Just a warning that apparently this is a franchise KOA and by "owner decision" no rooftop tents are allowed. So if you go there with a rooftop tent on your rig, I guess you will need to bring a ground tent too
GuideWe arrived on Sunday and left on Tuesday, so we didn't get to experience the weekend activities. We will be back for that! We got to camp about 6, so it was dark. It was a little confusing as we couldn't see exactly where the camp check in was as compared to the resort check-in. Once we figured it out, the late check in paperwork was detailed on how to find our space. The spaces are tight - (I'm a reformed back Packer and tent camper) but ample for Stella (our 26-foot type C RV) The grounds are IMMACULATE! Plenty of bathrooms, back-in spots had cute little decks nearby, a fire ring, and moveable picnic table. People were courteous. Sunset was amazing. Took a short hike to the beach. Had dinner at the Castanoa restaurant. Beware of the kid's pizza, it is huge! Grandkids wanted to ride the bikes before we left, kiosk wasn't open yet, but the gentleman at the camp kiosk helped us. They are harder than they look. Overall a great visit. Recommended to friends already.
RangerI’m taking this up a notch to five full stars because I don’t think it’s fair to compare it to a national park anymore. It’s its own thing and it’s very successful at it. It’s fantastic at catering families with kids. This is our second stay at this particular KOA and we found the campground to be super clean the bathrooms to be ultra clean. The restaurant at the lodge, the Cascade, was phenomenal. This is coming from someone used to San Francisco and Oakland restaurants. The vegetables were all grown in the garden and the dishes were expertly executed, and so dang fresh we could not believe we were at a KOA.The cocktails are equally impressive. The bike rentals were a hit with the kids and I know they were lots of activities. We missed out on due to time a crunch. Once I accepted that we were actually Glamping, I had a great time and stop being such a snob.
I do recommend paying a bit more for the more spacious sites. Next time I’m going for the ones with the patio, those people looked quite happy.
LegendCute place. Very large. The kids loved the resident cats. The pool was huge and well loved. Lots of recreation. We had an Uber come get us and it worked. There for a sports event in Morgan hill. Got propane filled, nice staff. No full hookups but dump station was convenient. Lots of nice activities going on.
Scout
This was a perfect place for all the family we had our grandkids and older kids and it was so fun. Rv campsite and water park was clean and very nice. Area for dogs was nice for our dogs to run around and play with other dogs as long as all dogs are friendly. lots of activities for the kids all day besides the water park, we didn't end up doing most of them because we spent all day at the water park. Water park is open 11 to 7 but Lazy river closes at 5 not sure why. Then there is the activities in club house, mini golf, lasher tag, playground, bounce pillow, basketball, volleyball, dodge ball, hayride, parade wit's Yogi which the kids all follow him on their bikes as he rides through the camp on a golf cart. the only complaint I have is that the inside of the bathrooms/showers was very hot no ventilation and it was miserable to take a shower in during the summer and you can't adjust water temperature and there is limited umbrella tables and they are only in pool area not where water playground is. other then that our experience was awesome we will definitely come back

Snug harbour sits on Steamboat Slough of the California delta. It is a small island that has pretty calm water around it. It is under new management (2022). They were gracious and helpful. Bathroom were clean. (I am a bathroom snob). Extremely dog friendly. Tent camping is allowed. Back in RV SITES back right up to the river, with their own dock. There are also cabins and two manufactured homes. A cute beach sits at the end of the island. There was plenty to do if you enjoy boating or fishing. Looking forward to going back.
TravelerYou will be put on a curfew like a teenager. The first day we arrived, we ran into San Francisco to do a boat tour. When we left we hit traffic and got back at 10 to the gate closed and locked. We called and the lady chewed us out. We were not told during checkin and they have signs that are not in noticeable spots. They tried to tell us we had to come back the next day. We said to her on the phone "just so we are understanding you are saying that my kids have to sleep in our car and you are not allowing access to our camper." They came immediately. The river access is great if you have a boat but not great if you dont have a boat. We did not feel comfortable knowing that we were locked in at night in case of an emergency. We will not be back.
ScoutThis place has decent facilities doesn't clean or check bathrooms as often as they should. The staff is horrible. We booked many months in advance and although we had email confirmation on sites they said we agreed to switch spots in the middle of our stay because they double booked and some how our fault they are un-organized and cannot work a computer. The women in the office with a compromised voice is very unfriendly and okay with her staff also being un-friendly. The man Dan who rides around in the Golf cart is also a horrible person and hates his job or at least I assume since he treats people like garbage. They seem to have a motto that "if you don't like it you can leave" . Horrible they are allowed to treat people like this.
Scout
We went a few days before Memorial Day weekend,Monday and Tuesday,it was quite. It was a relaxing stay. Very comfortable.
TravelerThis place nickels and dimes you. The first time we came, there was a drain issue. They called an inexperienced plumber to run a snake and it burst our pipe in the RV. We tried a different site and this one had the water valve broken. The customer service people didn’t help at all. They just kept repeating sorry over and over again.
GuideSeems nice and clean AND I have a great site. Easy to find. Wifi like always is iffy and ATT is limited. 1 bar at site 30. Lots of children running around so if kids aren’t your thing this is not the place. Remember to go to the market before arriving. It’s relatively close…say approximately 10 miles away. I must say I do enjoy being nestled in the trees.
ScoutLoved the facilities for the children!
