Bodega Dunes Campground — Sonoma Coast State Park
Clean campground
There is upward of 90 sites, many are for just tents and are on sand with fire pit. I have our travel trailer there and are the site # in the 70's and are on a asphalt pad, which makes it cleaner and level. Down side would be close to a road and traffic during day, but at night very quiet except for fog horn which is no big deal. The beach walks and adventuring the coast and local fair makes it all worth it. Water and dump station available, not at campsites but at entry of park
Ritchey Creek Campground — Bothe-Napa Valley State Park
Close to wine country
Lovely campsite with very sweet camp hosts. Always waved when they drove by.
Chose site 17 because of the beautiful tree seen in another review but was felled prior to our arrival, so no big tree. We did however get a beautiful view of the stars.
Two things to note, some of the sites (didn’t look like all of them had this issue) have an incredibly fine dusty dirt that gets on absolutely everything, it made our feet, legs and sandals completely beige from the dust and we had to wipe them with wet wipes before going into our tent and tracked a fair amount into our car upon leaving.
The other thing we were disappointed with was that we had to pay for showers on top of already paying over $50 for our site for one night, we felt that was a pretty big con and that it should be included in the fees.
Overall, you can’t get closer to the wineries and it was an otherwise lovely site.
Ritchey Creek Campground — Bothe-Napa Valley State Park
Beautiful
This rv site was awesome.It's quiet beautiful, lush green. Be aware tho. It's full of poison oak!!!! But yiu can get around it.
There are no hook ups. But the sights are mostly shaded, so it was a great help and I did not go in a hot time of the year. They have good hours for use of generators as well We Brought our electric bikes and rode to the geyser in Calistoga and to multiple wineries It was a great way to travel
Doran Regional Park
Amazing location
I loved my spot right by the ocean. The bathrooms were nice and had hot water.
Stay in the Cove campsites!Doran Regional Park
Great Place but impossible to get into anymore!
It sucks that so many people go here now. Allowing people to book so far in advance takes away from people trying to camp that have to travel from great distances that cannot risk arriving for the first come first serve spaces!!!
Ritchey Creek Campground — Bothe-Napa Valley State Park
Quiet in Winter
Nice sites in Oak, Madrone and Manzanita forest. As many have mentioned, it’s also a Poison Oak farm, but if you keep to the trails and roads it’s fine. Many sites are not level. Road is narrow. Bathrooms clean, showers although clean were not inviting. ATT was a bar, occasionally two. Was able to make a call if I stood still. Minutes away from Calistoga and St. Helena. We imagine it’s a very busy place in peak season, but a nice quiet getaway in winter.
Doran Regional Park
Large and popular Sonoma County Park
General: Located between Bodega Bay and Bodega Harbor, this county park has over 140 sites in four campgrounds: Shell, Gull, Cove, and Jetty. There is also tent camping, a group campsite, and a hiker/biker camping area. No hookups in any site.
Site Quality: Each site has a picnic table and a fire ring. Sites all appeared to be level. Depending on your site, you may have more privacy/separation than in others. Site 21 (in Shell) was nicely positioned, however, the sites on either side of us were not occupied during our stay so we had more privacy.
Bath/Shower: Self-contained units with a toilet and sink with soap, HOT water, and air dryer. One coin-operated shower house for Shell, Gull, and Cove campgrounds, located between Gull and Cove. Additional showers in the tent-only section and the Jetty campground. Generally clean.
Activities: Hiking, fishing, birding, beachcombing, wading, and water sports. There was a very short boardwalk and sandy walking paths, although some of these were very overgrown.
One thing I appreciated was propane cylinder recycling. We learned there is a program where select vendors will refill the small cylinders and we hope this becomes more readily available. This is a much larger county park campground than we have been in before and it was very busy when we were there on a weekday in late October. Nice but I prefer the smaller and quieter campgrounds.
Skyline Wilderness Park
Great Napa Valley views
Great place to hit Napa Valley. Staff was super friendly. Spots were pretty level, but close together. They gave free wifi but it was not consistent. It constantly dropped.
They had a great little fenced in dog park which was great for our dog. The bathrooms were pretty clean with nice hot water. Codes needed for showers.
Very quiet, no issues. We had friendly neighbors. There were people coming in for day use to use the trails for hiking, biking etc. We didn't get to explore as we were strictly in area to wine taste and eat some good food. We enjoyed our time there and would stay there again. $65 a night. Pricey compared to some places in CA, but probably a good price for Napa.
Doran Regional Park
Lovely water access
This campground is lovely. Easy access to potable water. Helpful hosts. Access to both the cove and ocean. For us the downside is that we were surrounded by large RV’s, which is not our preference. After 8 when they generators turned off it was lovely.
If I returned to this campground my preferred spot would be 75 or 76 as they are private and have bay access.
Doran Regional Park
Nice
Nice campground, no hook ups is one downside, but would stay again. Employees are very nice and helpful. Bathroom showers clean. Verizon cell service 5g strong coverage.
Bodega Dunes Campground — Sonoma Coast State Park
Beautiful!
Stayed at this campsite at the tail end of a storm so not many folks pitching a tent. The campground was quiet and met some lovely people every now and then. The sites were distant enough to give each camper privacy. Bathrooms and showers were really clean compared to other places. You had to pay for hot water, but $20 got 3 of us enough hot water for 3 days.
The trail to the beach was a nice walk and easy to follow. The beach itself was quiet and only a few folks were out there after the storm.
Overall, a beautiful campground, I'm hoping to go back again and stay in the same spot.
Skyline Wilderness Park
Handy for Napa Area
It’s good for an RV park type setting, but it’s still an RV Park.
Close to town.
We didn’t try the trails as we explored the area by car.
The RTT area is generously sized, but not marked so you just have to hope you have respectful neighbors. We did!
No shade in that area.
We enjoyed the wild turkeys wandering through camp.
Recommend the Hog Island Oyster Company at the farmers market in town.
Bodega Dunes Campground — Sonoma Coast State Park
Nice Setting - hope you like foghorns
We got a great workout hiking in the dunes to see the sunset over the ocean.
Lots of cool and funky trees.
Bathrooms could be updated/cleaner.
Nice place to eat in Valley Ford called Rock Oysterfeller.
There is a foghorn that sounds off every 10 seconds or so. I didn’t notice it when we set up camp…maybe the wind and waves. But in the middle of the night it woke me up. I thought it was some Tsunami warning or something. I managed to read what it was and after a while managed to sleep through it.
Doran Regional Park
Great winter get away
Walks, birds, great sky, no hookups but nice
Doran Regional Park
Perfect
Great campground to visit with the family and get away. Fires are allowed most of the year. The campground has coin operated showers and flushable toilets. As well the day use area allows fires in designated fire pits of course. Restaurants and bars are about a 10 to 15 minute drive away. Highly recommended the best campsites are near Cove camp
Ritchey Creek Campground — Bothe-Napa Valley State Park
Great campground near wineries.
WE just stayed two nights camping and had a great time, site was good, bathrooms and showers were clean. Good access to wineries close by. Only real downside was that because of the dry conditions we could not have a campfire.
It was not a problem for us but ATT reception was poor, could not get messages at the site but sometimes could while moving around the campground.
Doran Regional Park
Not for privacy or quiet
There's a loud boat horn, all day and night. Miwok is set up as a group campsite so there is no privacy or space between neighbors. There is no view other than other campsites or the parking lot at most of the Miwok campsites. Prepare for cold wind and wetness (fog, humidity) at your camp. The facilities are safe, clean, and monitored.
Coast Campground — Point Reyes National Seashore
Earn it
Hike in (or boat in) — part of what makes this place so amazing is the awesome and unspoiled nature. Miles and miles of hiking trails, unique ecosystem you won’t find anywhere else along the coast (or in the world!). This is an experience everyone who loves the Bay Area should have at least once.
Ritchey Creek Campground — Bothe-Napa Valley State Park
Camping in wine country!
Great spot for cheap and restful accommodation while Visiting wine country. Yurts, and campsites, pull thru and rv sites. Not super cheap cuz you are in California but way more affordable than any hotel and 5 minutes from Calistoga, thru vineyard lined lanes. Lots of hikes for a hike level. Mosquitos started coming out but tolerable. Nice trickling river and peaceful pondering spots. Great bathrooms but bring lots of quarters for showers, helpful staff! Rico you are the best for giving me firewood!
Bodega Dunes Campground — Sonoma Coast State Park
Small location, amazing proximity to quiet beach
This location has no hookups but does have a dump station, vault toilets and small bbq grills available. Beautiful sunsets just a short walk away in the dunes. Day use is also available
Ritchey Creek Campground — Bothe-Napa Valley State Park
Wonderful location - mediocre sites
The location of this campground is amazing, if a trip to Napa Valley's wine country is on your bucket list. The camp sites are okay, but road and access is narrow for many sites and the gravel pads aren't particularly level. We stayed at site 049 which is a nice quiet spot away from the restrooms -but has trees, rocks, and bollards obstructing ability to cut the wheel and back in. The restrooms were fairly clean and stocked with TP, but no soap or papertowels, so plan to bring those. Also the park is prominently overtaken with poison oak... we knew what to look for and very cautiously avoided it, but it is everywhere, so if you're not familiar with poison oak, be warned.
Overall, an okay experience but I would not repeat at this location.
Doran Regional Park
Beautiful views for days!
Beautiful spot to spend a little time. Take in some coastal wildlife and walk along the beach. There’s no hookups at RV camp sites so be prepared. There’s potable water connections to top up in the site areas and there’s a dump near the entrance. Generator hrs while I was here were 8-8 but with the wind noise I never heard one. It was windy as heck (mid May) but ymmv. Cell service is spectacular. I carry AT&T, Verizon and T-Mobile and it’s some of the best service I experience camping anywhere.
Bodega Dunes Campground — Sonoma Coast State Park
Lovely campground
Nice campsites that are surrounded by greenery, not too close together. Well-sheltered. Unfortunately not good beach access from this campground (you have to drive).
Bodega Dunes Campground — Sonoma Coast State Park
Seashore
This campsite is centrally located on the peninsula. Access to several roadside dog friendly beaches within minutes. The bay and the beach are within walking distance to campground. The bathrooms are clean and the showers are coin operated. Sites are flat and semi private. The staff is friendly and campground is large.
Skyline Wilderness Park
Neat
Finally properly working wifi and nice hot shower. We reserved dry rv spot for 55$. I think price should be less but place is nice and has very easy acces. Shop and laundry are very close to the campground.
Staff were friendly and very helpful.

Great location
I camped with a roof top tent so was away from the RV parking lot. Fantastic views and good facilities. Would come back for sure.
Coast Campground — Point Reyes National Seashore
Fun little getaway
Fun baby backpacking trip with my husband . The hike to the campsite went by fast. Only 1.8 miles, not too bad on the elevation gain either. During the day it actually got pretty hot at our campsite (#1), lots of exposure probably around low 70s. At night it did get chilly, 38-39 degrees F, nothing a good sleeping bag couldn’t fix. We went for two nights on 02/28. Got a permit for a beach fire but couldn’t find enough drift wood to make it last. Wonderful campsite though, can’t beat our view and sounds of the ocean. Hardly any bugs and thankfully wasn’t windy when we went. The beach was sandy and beautiful, not that many people around.
