Guide
Close to the ocean at Jenner. Campground is next to the Russian River. Family activities and games for kids (playground, volleyball). Some shaded site, a mix of sunny locations and partial shade. Full RV hook ups and tent sites. River access for swimming & boating. No sandy beach.
Legend
Small campground in the redwoods along the river. Connects to the estuary and then you are at the ocean. Path to the beach takes yo under the highway. Also hiking across the road is a park with a small visitor center.
County park so it is well maintained and frankly I have never seen it packed. Even when not camping there I always stop at the picnic area for a hike to the ocean and a secluded beach.
There are wlak in tent sites. You park, unlaod and then move your care. The photos are of theses sites. If you go and do not get a tent site, try to get a site along the river.
Sites are both drive in and some are walk in. No RV hook ups but I see them there ( I am always with a tent) Coin showers are a plus.
The downside is you do hear the car noise from the road but there is little traffic at night.
You can launch a kayak or canoe onto the river from the campgrounds.
Guide
Once again I am finding those forest pictures posted are NOT of this RV park. Lot of long term residents at this park. Could find little help. Had no choice as needed to crash somewhere. No one really to help us. Never again. Got in, slept, got out. Failed to take any actual pictures.
Scout
Long drive on a narrow bumpy levy road to find a full time trailer park. NOT A RV RESORT!
Guide
We’ve been travel trailer camping twice to this campground and love it! Beautiful, large sites under the redwoods and along the Gualala River. The campground offers partial hook-ups with a dump service for a fee (dump station on site as well). There is a little camp store for basic camping / RV needs as well as bathrooms, showers, and laundry. The camp is great for RV and tent camping. We’ll definitely be returning many more times.
Scout
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.
GuideWe absolutely love thousand trails and our membership this is not one of their best campgrounds however the staff was five star and so is the location so I gave it a three star. We chose to stay three months. No sewer but they do have a dumping station and a honey pot service for $35 so we took advantage of that
ScoutVery 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.
Guide
We came in as a drop-in to this location ($66 for full hook ups) and it is absolutely magical! The staff is so friendly that the resort has an excellent community feel. There is a little walking path up the hill to "town" where there is a grocery store and coffee shop. This resort has its own private enclosed beach where dogs are allowed off leash! They have showers and bathrooms as well!
Good things to know before arrival: not all beach spots have full hook-ups, and only 1 has a sewer connection. It is very tight drive in, and they often have to turn large RVS/Trailers away. On the list, a majority of their spots can host 22ft-30ft trailers.
Traveler
The Mendocino redwoods RV resort just outside of Willits on CA-20 to Fort Bragg, California, was 3 years ago a KOA resort. The overall facility is still in fairly good shape but you can see the results of the pandemic and a little bit lack of effort on maintaining various things with inside the facility. Not to get me wrong, it's still a very nice resort but the new affiliation that they've decided to go with needs to step it up a little bit otherwise it will go into disrepair and short order. After traveling recently to a very high-end KOA resort, I can assess and compare between the two locations very quickly. I think it is a very wonderful location with a lot of wonderful things to do and activities within an hour's drive of it, I just wish they would do a little bit more to start bring it up to the level that it once was.
Guide
Winding downhill road in a valley to get there only to find basically a trailer park. Restroom in need of repair and not very sanitary. There was only one site available when we arrived and the rest were mostly permanent/long term residents. The host was very friendly and helpful in getting us settled in and other guests were very friendly. Overall I’d say avoid unless you’re very weary of driving
Guide
This KOA is pretty big with plenty of options for RV sites. Wide variety of full hook-ups or partial hook-ups. Like most (if not all) KOAs, you can also tent camp or tent cabins. Good size dog park for the pets to run and be free, as well as plenty of fun activities to entertain the kiddos. For us, this is a great spot to shoot down the highway and pull in for a few days to get away from the hustle and bustle of normal life! Close to downtown Petaluma with plenty of premium shops and restaurants.
GuideComing into this Thousand Trails campground made us a little nervous at first. Coming off of the highway there are broken down campers and RV encampments along the road. None of it interfered with the campground itself though. Check-in was easy but the entrance is a bit tight for bigger rigs. If you have a larger rig be very conscious of where the spots are that allow for them. Ask at the ranger office for the list of ones they should have open. Drive extremely slow. Roads and turns are very narrow. Some spots are inclined in a way that your hind end may really scrape the ground/asphalt. There are grooves in the road everywhere it is common.
Spaces are all 30 amp with no sewer hookups. Many spaces are very narrow/tight and uphill from your neighbor. The asphalt of many spots is crumbling along the edges and the dirt eroding away. If you have stairs that come out a ways they may just end at a cliff.
Facilities are all in desperate need of updates and in a state of disrepair. Bathroom walls were falling off. Laundry is outdoors which I found extremely odd.
All-in-all the park just seemed quite rough. There's really nothing to do in the area either. We stayed for 10 days which we felt was WAY too long.
Traveler
Great place to stay. The campground was clean and quiet. Full hook ups for RV sites. There were lots of animals! Be aware that you can’t use the lake because it’s for owners only.
GuideWe stopped here overnight on our way up the coast. Well maintained, nice facility and friendly staff. Definitely wouldn’t come back for long term camping as we have older teenagers. The facility is definitely geared toward families with smaller kids. It was great for what we needed.
TravelerYou are not roughing it here. Stayed many times over Covid and loved it. I have stayed in premium sites and in full hook up sites. Premiums are my favorites. They only have power and water but they are more isolated in the trees rather than a long row of RVs. All sites have cable TV and good Rudy from my experience. Fire puts when allowed by California. Russian River gets surprisingly warm during the summer.
Guide
Hot weather looking for a cool, on lake CG. We didn’t camp there. Thought we might but, instead just drove through. Day-use area close. Parking lot for boaters open. CG host said full; grounds not well maintained. Open sites with expired occupancy dates on them. Large groups with extra vehicles. Some sites looked like long term occupancy. Pleased there was no room. Don’t think would’ve been comfortable experience.
Scout
My wife and I spent two days there, full hook-up with cable TV decent TV reception too. Cell worked well. Close to restaurants and grocery.
Traveler
Nice spaces with privacy fences, picnic tables and full hook ups available. Clean and well maintained. Adjacent to the Sunday farmers market which is a nice treat.
Guide
First, you stay here for the views. Great views from the first two rows closest to the water. There are very few plantings between spaces. No hook ups at all, but water is available if you fill before you park. Seven dollar dump station. Each campsite has a fire ring and a wooden picnic table and grass. Since there’s no hook ups between the hours of 8 AM and 8 PM, you will always be listening to somebody’s generator running. Always. No privacy at this campground. I did not check out the bathrooms for the campground, but I did look at the bathrooms for the large boat launch area next-door. No showers in that bathroom, but it was clean. A bit spendy for no hookups. Safe. Zero long term campers when I was here. There are no first come first served campsites at this location. All camping spaces had a reserve sign on them, even though the place was about 40% full. Completely dark at night, which was great.
GuideThis place was absolutely beautiful. I got a "full hook-up" site which apparently meant they drive around in the morning and clear your tanks. Not ideal but it worked for us.
GuideIf you wanna rv and craving crab,chowder, and oysters this is the spot for you, full hook up,fire pit , and picnic table walking distance to a restaurant and shops great views very relaxing...the down side is the price,wifi,and a little close to each other.....I would definitely come back if they bring the price down
ScoutThis campground is on Russian river. They have full hook ups and a lot of very cool sites. They have an insane amount of kids activities! Face paining, s’mores campfire, hay ride, parks, kareoke- just to name a few! Easily one of our fav campgrounds!
Guide
Camp staff is awesome and helpful! Josh checked us in late and took care of everything even though the store was closed. Pool/jacuzzi both warm, on-site fishing pond, many sites with full hook ups. Beautiful views of wine country and plenty to do at the campsite. Off the beaten path so if you plan to visit cities or wineries you need a tow vehicle.
ScoutThis is a private park with caring dedicated staff. Most of their sites have water and 30 amp power and there are a few sites with full hook ups. The park has a great vibe with many family sites, a cool little general store as well as public showers and restrooms. Even with all of the amenities, there are many sites which make you feel secluded in the redwoods.
GuideThis place was great full hook up W,E,S,C you get a fire pit and a picnic table, 3 minute walk to restaurant and deli, public restroom is clean every morning and garbage gets emptied...amazing views the only reason why it's not a 5 star is the price and wifi is really slow but if that is not an issue with you guys then you'll definitely love this place
Ranger
This was a well kept rv campground. They have hookups and sewer. It is more or less an rv Park for people working in the area or staying for longer periods of time. Would stop again if a more scenic spot wasn’t available.
