      Porto Bodega Marina & RV Park

      Good spot for power+shower+refresh.

      This was some “glamping” for us. We’re in a van with no consistent onboard power or water, so we do a night or two out and a night at a site with more amenities. This was a perfect stop driving south on the 1 after the previous night remote on the coast and a planned need for StarLink with power source. Park is clean and well-organized, if tight, and the bathrooms are super clean and door-coded, with included hot showers. Right on the marina, fun if you enjoy harbor/boating scenery, and good food within walking distance. No way - that I found - to reserve online, but a phone call at 9am on a Saturday was returned within 10 minutes and got it done. Range of big rigs to camper vans, easy access and enough room to negotiate into spots. Very welcoming, safe, laid back environment.

      Good Place For RVs & Group Camping

      Easy access and great store, with access to fire rings, tables, showers, potable water, dump station and trash receptacles. The tent sites are beautiful, but a bit too close to each other when there are dogs involved.

      Holiday was packed.

      We were here for 3 nights and enjoyed the summer concert series on the grass and the close location to a private beach across from the Rv park. 

      The spaces for Rv’s are tight, but we made it work. Tent camping is much more spacious. 

      The weather was humid and cool. It felt wonderful for July!!

      It was good

      It was a good place with lots of trees. Nice trails down to the river. I didn’t live this place because there were so many large groups. It was a Saturday night and I was pretty tired at the end of my trip.
      The shower was $1 for 5 minutes. The hot water felt amazing!

      Kelsey Creek Campground — Clear Lake State Park

      So disappointed

      Pros: If you are a person who likes to either stay all day at your campsite or are a water sport/water toy type person this campground is for you. Cons: Bathroom near our campsite wasn’t working. Campsites were overgrown with foxtails, not good for my dogs. Trash in our fire pit. A few campsites away from ours had a huge poison oak plant at the back where you park your rig. A walkway near the campground popular for fishing had a tree fall on it, instead of clearing the tree, the park rangers closed it off. Not much hiking in the park, and if you decide to walk the couple short hikes, don’t bring your dogs, NO DOGS ALLOWED. For the number of workers this park employs you would think these things would be dealt with, but no. I guess this is typical of State Parks in California, so much potential but sadly California parks slowly deteriorate.

      A Sunny, Inground Solar Heated Pool in the Redwood Forest! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🏕️🚐

      Jeanne and Roberts treehouse is a luxurious Wonderland of a campground! We had total privacy, a pool, sauna and hot tub and a cool little treehouse to sleep in (with real stairs, leading up to it), Our dogs had a great time because they were off leash… The place is completely private and fenced! We highly recommend, the treehouse… You won’t be disappointed!

      Jeanne and Robert’s Hipcamp is amazing. We had such fun there. Their treehouse site has a solar, heated pool, a sauna, and a hot tub! The Vancamp site has total privacy, and a hot tub in the redwoods. We could not have found a better place to hang out and chill! Our dogs even got to be off leash because it is all fenced!

      Nice but a little pricey

      Very large, clean, well maintained campground. Sites range from tent camping to RV water and electric only to full hookups. It's centrally located halfway between Gurneville and Bodega Bay. Great place as a base for days at the beach, hiking at Armstrong Woods, or fishing.

      Cabin stay

      The basic cabin was just that, but spacious and the heaters worked very well. Nice, well kept campground with plenty of activities and access to a coastal trail. The community fire pit was a nice place to hang out at night.

      Quiet, fun, relaxing

      We rented a camping yurt and we were so surprised how big it is! We received a key to our own bathroom and shower! They had a sink to was dishes in and a place to clean our fish. We rented a motor boat for a few hours to explore the beautiful lake.  Pet friendly. Great little beach. A dock to fish from. Everything you need to have a great time! They also have bigger yurts and cabins to rent. Also, RV parking .We have already booked another visit.

      Kelsey Creek Campground — Clear Lake State Park

      Pleasantly surprised - clean, well kept and nice features

      Having visited Lake County many times, I wasn't expecting much from this camp ground. I had intended to camp at Boggs Forest - my usual hangout for mountain biking when in the area. Turns out it's closed to camping now, so I took a flyer and looked at this park. I managed to grab what appeared to be the last spot available for the Friday and Saturday night stay I had planned. And it was a spot next to the water! 

      The spots are a bit close, but there are many options available - from waters edge on the creek or lake, to hilltops with views of the lake. 

      The bathrooms were clean, but I showered at the back of my van and didn't need to obtain any tokens to use theirs. 

      There are hiking trails, a boat launch, bbq pits, food storage lockers and a pretty good amount of trees to shade the camp sites. 

      I think next time I'd opt for a spot along the creek instead of the lake. They look to be better shaded, but may get more drive by traffic. 

      I did happen to be here during a heat spell - 104 was the high yesterday. The shade definitely helped! 

      I will be back since it's a convenient location for me - 20 mins from my father in Lakeport, 30 mins from Highland Springs and 40 from Boggs Forest. Oh… and the bugs are not at Al what you might expect. At least for me. They weren’t bad at all. I didn’t even need the screens on my van, but the zapper was busy at dusk. Update as I’m still here: for some reason the toilets no longer flush. After all those beers I figured it’d be polite to use a toilet to return them to their maker, but the first bathroom had a large deposit waiting for me. I tried to flush it, but nothing. Went next door. Only per in this one, and it wouldn’t flush either. Oh well. I added to the color of the bowl. Oddly, the faucet worked. At least I was able to wash my hands.

      Small and quiet campground but expensive.

      The campground is nice and quiet. Plenty of space without being noisy. But I’m not sure how they’ve justified charging $58 per night for no basic trash disposal (you have to take all trash with you) and only portable toilets on site.

      Convenient location, clean bathrooms, beautiful views

      The state park was full so we were looking for other options. Staying on the water at a marina was a no brainer. A little more expensive than we wanted to pay but needed good cell service to work remotely.

      smaller RV campground yet expensive. With tax $160/night.  Fairly quiet.  Our pull thru was not close to level.  The bathrooms were okay, the showers were dirty, WiFi decent.

      Redwoods in wine country

      We stayed here for 2 nights at the end of March during an unusually wet and cold winter. So it was, literally, freezing at night. The sites are situated among towering redwoods. Which blocks the amazing clear night skies, but offer there own beauty.
      It was great! The nearby towns or phill and boonville are super cute. We are a family of 4 in a 24ft RV. This park is very accessible with many short and easy trails. The hike to see the preserved “hermit huts” were very cool.
      Fire wood is available from the camp host who even takes Venmo! Life saver when we always seem to forget cash. There are 2 campground loops. We stayed in azalea and The best sites IMO were 12,19,20. They are large with separate table and fire pit areas and on the outside edge of the loop- so minimal foot traffic and neighbors.

      Tight campground surrounding area is nice

      Sites are close. Some don’t even have area for chairs or picnic tables. It’s a membership campground which is surprising. Hopefully this is not the norm for other Thousand trails campgrounds.

      This was a Great location in Sonoma county The campground itself is not the greatest it's very limited they do have a honey pot service but no sewer service. There's the Russian River and not much else to do but the surrounding area is fantastic you not far from San Francisco or Napa. There's no laundry room you have to go to a laundromat they have washer and dryers outside of the bathrooms but they're not very convenient
