  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

  Olema Campground

  Great getaway spot

  Ok, I was originally hoping for a cabin, which is included in my search, but this CG is either tent or RV only. Luckily, I also brought a tent.

  I was there 2 weeks ago. It's a fairly large area and flat. Lots of space for kids to play including a play area.

  Sheep roam freely in one area towards the back.

  It's a great place for families. Showers are great. Includes a small shop for goodies.

  I love it there. Only negative is there are only portapotties. Except for a couple that are constantly in use.

  San Francisco North-Petaluma KOA

  Busy and expensive but great for kids

  Wow! This place is busy and expensive. We stopped at this KOA because it was a good halfway point for us heading to the Redwoods. This KOA offers a variety of activities that cater to children, such as petting zoos, jumping pillows, climbing walls, and pools, which are excellent for keeping the young ones engaged and entertained. To me it was overcrowded and the firepits were so close to the RV’s I was afraid it would set my neighbors RV on fire, or our neighbor was going to set ours on fire. For those without children (like us), the bustling environment might be overwhelming, but it also provides an opportunity to enjoy the lively atmosphere.

  Benicia State Recreation Area

  Not a campground - enroute spot only

  This is just a perfect spot for when you just need a spot for the night. To be very clear, it's not a campground. It's just a safe and legal spot to sleep. We stayed here 3 years ago and nothing much has changed, including the $12 fee.

  The area is beautiful and lots of people come here to walk and exercise, and once I took my dog on a walk I saw why nobody brings their dog - TICKS! So many!  Just from walking along the path, not even going into the grass, my dog got 6 ticks once and 5 ticks another  walk. 

  My previous review is still accurate, except that now all 3 sites are open. Glad this place is under the radar, it's nice that there's been room here for us when we've needed it.

  Spring Lake Regional Park

  Lots of recreation options, but that also means busy.

  This campground is nice with newer bathrooms and shower facilities, but it's also very open and exposed. Great access to Spring Lake's water-based activities and hiking trails, plus easy access to Trione-Annadel State Park for hiking and mountain biking. Howarth Park, a city park, also borders Spring Lake Regional Park and provides access to boating and fishing on Lake Ralphine, plus they have a small train, carousel, tennis courts, and a softball field. Overall a good campsite for families in need of lots of recreation options, but not the best for those wishing to "get away from it all."

  H. Dana Bower Rest Area Northbound

  Great spot and free but really dirty

  The rest area was surprisingly quiet given its location. There was ample parking, and thankfully, the parking spots weren’t illuminated by bright street lamps, which was a nice touch considering we stopped her to sleep. However, the bathrooms were filthy during our stop, which was quite disappointing. Another downside was the lack of vending services; if you’re in need of caffeine or snacks, be sure to bring them along.

  An important point to note is that you can only access this rest area when traveling northbound off the bridge. If you miss it, you’ll have to cross the bridge again, which costs $9-10 each time you head south into San Francisco. This is a significant consideration for those planning their stops carefully.

  Also, cold here in the summer. Pack for fall weather.

  Great pool, nice RV park

  The pool was great during the oven like temperatures, the staff was very kind and the amenities were good and clean. Movies night every night, and shop for groceries on site.

  Woodside Campground — Salt Point State Park

  Beautiful Campground... Deserves more than one night...

  Beautiful campground nestled among the trees.  Drive to campground (we came from the south and departed same way) is true Highway 1 spectacular scenery with narrow road along some cliffs with some hair-pin turns.  (Parts of road were under repair in June 2024 creating some delays.)  Individual camp sites were perhaps 1/4 to 1/2 mile from both entrance gate and camp host site.  Individual sites were good size with picnic table and cleared-out area surrounding it.  RV parking was on good asphalt surface.  Restrooms were clean and had flush toilets.  Unfortunately no showers, no RV dump station, no threaded connections to refill RV potable water tank.  Did have portable water spigots in campground to fill personal water bottles.  Coastal fog rolled in at night and cleared by mid-morning.  We would have loved to hike trails to beach; however, we did not have time.  We will save that for next time we are passing through.

  Stillwater Cove Regional Park

  Lots of wood on my site

  There were several felled trees behind my site and the camp host said they were told not to process it due to labor costs. Just a few branches gave me a huge bonfire.
  My site had a shared pad and the campsite was sold out. I was dreading when they would pull in, but they never showed up. There is a wonderful trail through redwoods down to the beach. The campers were friendly and invited me for breakfast.

  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.

  Glamping in the Redwoods 🐶🐕💃🕺🏼

  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!

  Glamping in the Redwoods 🐶🐕💃🕺🏼

  WOW! AWESOME, PRIVATE, BEAUTIFUL WITH EXCLUSIVE USE OF HOT TUB! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

  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!

  Wright's Beach Campground — Sonoma Coast State Park

  Great with the right site!

  Such a gem here! Less than two hours from Oakland.  We'll return soon.

  Highlights: 

  1. Sites 13 and 15 of the Bodega Dunes loop are by far the best sites.  The others had uneven tent pads or awkward orientations.  The pull-throughs are barely off the road and very sandy.  Take extra blocks if you go because our site was uneven tip to tail.

  2. Easy to maneuver big rigs, we saw some 5th wheels, and 25+ footers in here. 

  3. This smaller loop of Bodega dunes is so quite, the other loops are sandy and crowded close together.  It was a very different vibe.  It was Memorial Day weekend but our site was out of chaos down below, kids running all around.  Great if you have a gaggle and want to let loose, but if not, stick to the loop with sites 13 and 15. 

  4.  A very short drive to the water.  

  5. A little trial behind the site connects you to a Sunday farmers market and a Mexican restaurant.  That's about a 10 minute scenic walk.  

  6. The dump station and water fill up spigot were excellent.

  7.  It's 10 minute drive to Fishermen's cove. A FANTASTIC restaurant. Everything we ate was excellent. 

  8. Nice people. 

  9. The fire bundles are small for $10 so maybe (gulp) bring some with you. 

  Bad: nothing I can think of.  We didn't use the facilities.

  H. Dana Bower Rest Area Northbound

  Great place to stay

  Stayed for two nights, great view. Reasonably quiet on the side away from the road. Very safe, police patrols throughout the day/night. Good hiking areas nearby. Bathrooms and trash cans. Highly recommend as it is also completely free.

  Lake Sonoma Marina Campground

  Not worth the noise

  Our small group camped at the Lake Sonoma Marina campground and had a very spotty experience. There was no warning in their confirmation emails or website that there is NO WATER available at the campsite. Even the restrooms down at the marina state that the water from the taps is non-potable. You have to bring all of your water with you.

  The portapotties were ok. Nothing great but nothing terrible.

  The campground seems well maintained with the grass recently cut and poison oak only visible in small areas. The ground is not very flat so it was hard to find a great site for a tent.

  The biggest problem was Saturday night when a large group came and took over two adjacent campsites. They brought lights and loud music with them and the lights and loud music stayed on until after midnight. This group finally turned off the speakers but continued shouting and screaming until 4 am. 

  There is NO NOISE CONTROL and no attempt to enforce campground rules. There is no one patrolling the campsite and no one to call at midnight to request help to stop the noise. Don't bother staying here overnight. Come for the day to the enjoy the lake but go home and get a good night's sleep after.

  Olema Campground

  Great CG close to Pt Reyes!

  Just left here with a group of 33 3rd graders. We stayed in the meadow area. It was wet as it had just rained, but overall it was a nice place. Small store, full hookups in places (will bring our trailer back), tables, fire rings. Not much privacy but at least this weekend it was quiet (except for our group 🤣)

  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!!!

  Spanish Flat - Lake Berryessa

  Pretty good but pricey for what it is

  Overall good experience. A little on the high end for dry camping. The charge for the campsite, every person over 2 campers, and a 25$ surcharge for reserving a specific site. The dump station and boat ramp are also additional but that’s pretty typical. I will say that the staff was very friendly the sites that we stayed in are huge. Double the size of most campgrounds.

  Kirby Cove Campground — Golden Gate National Recreation Area

  Great Location with AMAZING Views

  My family and I spent two nights at campsite #5.  We had a really great experience here!

  We visited Kirby in March 2024 and the weather was not as bad as I thought it would be.  The temperature was in the 50's for the most part.  There was decent amount of wind but not enough to make a stink about.  I was comfortable in pants and a sweatshirt the whole time, never had to break out my jacket.  During the day, it was warm enough to wear a t-shirt.  It rained a little bit overnight both nights we were there but we were equipped to deal with the conditions.

  Each site has three square shaped wood-framed plots to pitch your tent on.   Two of them are covered in a bed of rocks and one of them was raised about two feet off the ground.  The third plot on our site did not have rocks.  I would recommend bringing a tent footprint to prevent the rocks from damaging the bottom of your tent.   Our site's fire ring was equipped with a thick steel BBQ grate that swivels laterally over the fire ring.  Our fire ring's grate covered a good portion of the fire ring so it was useful for cooking.  I'd like to note that not all campsites are equipped with the same style of fire ring as our site had.  Campsite #5 also had three picnic tables (two of them were bolted to the ground, one of them was not) and a bearproof storage container.

  The campgrounds itself is relatively small (only 5 overnight sites).  You will receive a gate code emailed to you upon reservation which you will need to unlock a gate that leads you down a long dirt road to the bottom of a valley where the campgrounds are located.  The parking lot is sort of small but finding a spot wasn't an issue.  The parking lot is sitting on top of a hill, overlooking the entire campgrounds.  The sites themselves aren't too far away from the parking lot, but hauling your gear back uphill to your vehicle after camping a couple nights can be tiresome.  There are a few pit toilets scattered throughout the campgrounds that were relatively clean.  There is no running water at Kirby, so make sure you bring enough water!  The old military ruins (I believe from the late 1800's)  were also cool to explore.  The views of the Golden Gate and the city are breathtaking.  We got to watch between 10-12 large shipping vessels float in and out of the bay, very cool!  

  All in all, we loved our stay at Kirby and will definitely be camping there again during the warmer months!
