Best RV Parks & Resorts near Pleasant Hill, CA

RV parks near Pleasant Hill provide sites with varying hookup options and amenities. San Francisco RV Resort in Pacifica offers 50-amp electric, sewer, and water hookups with ocean views, though sites are tightly arranged on asphalt surfaces. Tradewinds RV Park in Vallejo features full hookup sites with 50-amp service and is conveniently located near Highway 160. Marin RV Park in Greenbrae accommodates both 30-amp and 50-amp connections across its 87 sites. Sugar Barge RV Resort on Bethel Island provides 30-amp hookups with picnic tables and waterfront access. "Spots are close together, it's more like a parking lot than a campground, but everyone is friendly and the overall vibe is good," noted one visitor about San Francisco RV Resort.

Full hookup sites dominate the Pleasant Hill region, with most parks requiring reservations during peak periods. Many RV parks permit pets but enforce leash requirements and breed restrictions. Between late fall and early spring, occasional fog and coastal rain can affect travel conditions. Some parks charge additional fees for amenities like WiFi access and premium site locations. Propane fill service is limited at most locations, requiring travelers to plan refueling stops accordingly. RV dump stations are available at most parks, though Sugar Barge and Tradewinds receive positive feedback for their well-maintained facilities. A visitor commented that San Francisco RV Resort is "right on the ocean on a cliff" but warned that "spaces are tight" with limited room for awnings and outdoor equipment.

    Anthony Chabot Regional Park

    Beautiful!

    This campground is beautiful and at 50% of normal capacity even better! The campground is set among a grove of eucalyptus trees that offer shade, which would be really nice during summer, and a calming aroma. 

    There are dry and full hook up sites. 

    $35 for dry

    $45 for hook ups

    $8 reservation fee

    $2 fee per day for each dog which is not stated when making reservations, you  are expected to pay when you arrive.

    We have 3 dogs and the ranger came by and mentioned the fee though he never made us pay it. Also they do not allow visitors at this time due to Covid, campers only. There was some type of maintenance going on which had trucks frequently driving up and down the road but overall quiet. Strict rule of no check in prior to 2pm, but there is a day use area nearby to park in and hike around if you arrive early. The road up to the campground is winding with a lot of cyclists. Cell service was spotty on the way up and weak at campground but usable with our WeBoost. The road in the campground is narrow with tight turns into the sites so if you have a big rig be aware.

    Other amenities:

    Recycling and garbage

    Bathrooms and showers

    Tons of hiking and biking trails

    Water and dump station available for dry campers

    Fire pit, firewood for sale at kiosk for $10/bundle

    Picnic tables

    30 amp only

    Paved parking pad, mostly level

    Overall would definitely come again!

    Sugar Barge RV Resort & Marina

    Quiet, NO other tenters!

    We (party of 4) were there primarily because we rented a boat from their Marina. That went well! This is an RV campground & full-complement resort on Bethel Island, San Joaquin River Delta. Many RVers appear to be long-term or full-time residents.

    The tent-area was a clearing, fully backed up to the levee, with some shade and a water spigot. Appears to be only 4 “sites,” which are defined by picnic tables, GENEROUSLY spaced, no fire rings AND the Delta is h.o.t.! It’s also on the far edge of the property, so car traffic was MINIMUM — and NO generators were heard, even though the RV section is huge!!!

    The rest rooms were in the Marina building, a short walk. We would DEFINITELY return for boating and tenting!!!

    Half Moon Bay State Beach Campground

    Nice Respite Along the Beach

    We rarely make reservations to camp in California Beach Parks, as they are usually filled up weeks or even months in advance. While meeting up with some friends in Half Moon Bay we happened along the campsite and simply enquired if they had an open site for the night. They did, and we ended up staying for 2 nights due to a cancellation.  It never hurts to ask!  

    The campsite is a nice quiet stretch of grass, live oak trees, and beach shrubs about 30 vertical feet above the Pacific beach shoreline.  While you get away from the blowing sand, you get to hear the pounding ocean at night. I can’t imagine a more gentle lullaby, frankly. The sites themselves are a little close quarters, but all provide just about enough space for a long camper and a tow/towed vehicle as well.  For a small camper like us, there’s even enough room to have a friend visit. 

    The sites offer electrical and water hookups, additionally there is a dump station just as you exit the camping area. Showers and flush toilets are available, but also used by all the beach goers in the area, so you know what they look like....never clean.

    The town of Half Moon Bay offers pretty much everything you need in terms of restaurants or grocery stores. Riding your bike, or walking along the path toward town for a well-earned brunch should definitely reach the top of your to-do list while you’re there.  We had brunch at Mavericks Creparie and dinner at the Half Moon Bay Brewing Company.  Both are absolutely fantastic!

    Beachcombing, sunbathing, swimming, horseback riding, and skim boarding during the warmer months also are great ways to fill up the day. The beach path goes for miles in either direction so you can get some exercise off of the main roads.

    Samuel P. Taylor State Park Campground

    Magical forests

    Camp sites include fire ring and flattened areas with picnic table. Fresh water is available, as well as, bathrooms and showers. Nice level sites for RVs. Great Verizon and AT&T cell service.

    Pillar Point RV Park

    Pricey, but worth it

    Great spot right off the highway and on the beach. Lots of activities and places to eat within walking distance. Surfing, walking/bike trails, kayaking….Pet friendly

    Vineyard RV Park

    Meh CG and short sites

    We are full-timers in a 36 ft Class A with a Cherokee Trailhawk tow. We were in site 61, a“Premium” Pull-through site, for 3 days in early October, while visiting family in the area. This is probably the most critical review of a CG that we have posted in the 2 years we’ve be full-timing and for$76/night(with discount), I would expect much, much more from a CG. The staff at checkin were very friendly, but we didn’t see anyone patrolling the CG while we were there. It was fairly quiet when we arrived during the week, but got a little raucous on the weekend and I-505 road noise is fairly noticeable at night. The CG is“clean” and otherwise quiet, but showing its age a bit. The two pools looked pretty decent, but we didn’t use them. All of the sites are fairly short and very close. Bigger rig tow vehicles either extend into or are parked partially on the roads through the CG, although the roads are fairly wide throughout. The CG consists mostly permanent/semi-permanent residences. Most of those sites are are all gravel. There appeared to only be a few transient spaces, maybe 12-15, which were also short, but with grass, tables and foliage between sites. There are no green spaces to walk your dog. Everything that isn’t paved or graveled is basically bare dirt or tall, dead weeds, except the playground and one other area, and neither of those areas allow dogs. You are pretty much relegated to walking the CG roads or using the“off-leash” area, which is a fenced in treed area but is also just bare dirt and clearly not everyone cleans up after their dogs. They have signs for a Pet Walk, but this is just a very short walk on more dirt. The ponds on the map are fenced off and are either muddy brown or algae green pits with fountains- not very aesthetically appealing. AT&T coverage was just ok, with 2 bars of LTE and speeds up to 0.8 MB/s. The CG WiFi through TengoInternet.com is bit wanky, only allowing 3 connected devices and requiring a Browser to connect, so devices without one(Apple TV, WiFi router, etc.) are out of luck. Their website had a link to a page that was supposed to tell you how to connect them, but resulted in a 404 page not found error. We saw speeds up to 1 MB/s., but much less when everyone is online. Disconnecting WiFi and reconnecting seemed to help some. We were able to get DISH coverage on all three western satellites at our site. There were 35 OTA channels to be had with our fixed omni antenna. We would not stay here again.

    Vineyard RV Park

    Super basic but clean

    There’s really no where else to camp in this area that is convenient to the freeway. We walked in with no reservation and got a pull through spot with a bit of grass. Full hookups, no fire pits, but picnic tables at each spot. Pool, pet park, bathrooms, and free showers. Quiet park but nobody was outside cause it was 102!! We relaxed in the trailer with a/c until it cooled off to the low 90’s which was at about 8pm. Good for one night as you’re traveling through though.

    Sugarloaf Ridge State Park Campground

    Wooded with a creek, many trails, family friendly in the North Bay.

    The campground at Sugarloaf Ridge State Park offers a range of decent sites. There are certainly some that are better situated than others regarding size, shade, and other amenities--but the entire campground is nice. Well maintained, and located in a State Park that is run by a non-profit "Team Sugarloaf". Sonoma Creek runs along the campground and there is a waterfall a short hike away. There are showers for a quarter per minute, if you want to freshen up after a big hike like to the peak of Bald Mt. Visitor's Center has educational displays, maps, and a variety of items for sale. Ice and fire wood available. Each site has a table and fire pit. Great little get away spot that feels farther in the wilderness than it is at all. Close to Sonoma and Santa Rosa. Year-round camping--beautiful in all seasons.

    There is also an observatory in the park, one Saturday night per month the hold "Star Parties" and for just $2 you can spend the evening looking through great telescopes and learning about space from experts. Kids are free! It is walking distance from the campground. If you have flashlights that have a red night-vision setting, those are recommended to use there--otherwise they'll give you red cellophane to cover your light so that it doesn't interfere with star viewing.

    Sandy Beach County Park

    Small yet spacious campground with views of the Sacramento river

    Camped 4 nights at site 32 during the week.  A nice shaded site with river view, but not very level.  All sites are pull throughs with electric, water, a stationary picnic table and fire ring.  Online reservations are required and must be made a minimum of 2-weeks in advance.  Campground was nearly empty and had big grassy areas between sites.  Senior rate of $20.  Flush toilets and showers were spartan but cleaned daily.  Campground is adjacent to public beach, boat ramp/dock, and picnic area.  As expected it was very windy most of the time so you need to stake everything down.  Wind was strong enough to knock over our wine glass, twice!  We could hear humming from wind turbines that were just over the hill from the campground, but otherwise quiet.


Guide to Pleasant Hill

RV camping options near Pleasant Hill, California offer varied experiences from waterfront locations to convenient bases for city exploration. Most parks are situated within a 30-minute drive from Pleasant Hill in surrounding Bay Area communities. Winter temperatures typically range from 45-60°F, while summer months average 65-85°F with minimal rainfall.

What to do

Water activities at delta locations: Sugar Barge RV Resort & Marina on Bethel Island provides direct water access with boat rentals and fishing opportunities. "They have a boat trailer parking lot and a boat ramp. They rent kyacks and have a restaurant that looks right over the water," notes a visitor.

City exploration from strategic bases: Use Marin RV Park as a launching point for San Francisco adventures. "30 mins away from the City. A bit pricy but that is to be expected in SF. It is well worth it as one can be in the city within 30mins," explains one camper. The ferry terminal is conveniently accessible: "A short 10 minute walk from the RV park is the ferry that will drop you off downtown San Francisco."

Coastal trails and outdoor recreation: Visit oceanfront sites in Pacifica and Half Moon Bay. "Walking distance to shops and restaurants, walking and bike trails, beach access," reports a camper at Pillar Point RV Park. Another guest enjoyed the "Nice bike trail right on the water" at a nearby coastal park.

What campers like

Ocean views and wildlife watching: Waterfront parks offer natural entertainment. One camper at Pillar Point RV Park mentioned the "Beautiful View" while others have spotted marine life from oceanfront locations: "We even saw whales!"

Strategic proximity to attractions: Flag City RV Resort earns praise for location and facilities. "Convenient location. Clean park with not a lot of people but it may have been the season. We enjoyed the pull through site. Easy to navigate," writes one visitor. Another appreciates the "Squeaky clean and organized. Nice pool and hot tub, nice laundry facilities (more than one!)."

Pet-friendly amenities: Many rv parks near Pleasant Hill, California accommodate pets with dedicated areas. Flag City RV Resort features a "HUGE fenced area to walk your dog OFF LEASH" that impressed visitors. Another camper noted, "Loved the view but sleeping near a highway is a little loud at night... nice place to go explore the beach and trails."

What you should know

Site size limitations: Most RV parks have tight spacing between sites. At Marin RV Park, "the spots are narrow. The ground is made up of small rocks, but is perfectly level. There are no picnic tables and/or fire pits available." Another camper confirmed, "Narrow sites. No room for awning. Close to gather."

Noise considerations: Highway proximity affects several parks. A visitor at Pillar Point noted, "Only cons are the extremely busy road is right next to the park, it can be very loud and when the park is full the spaces can get pretty tight."

Reservation requirements: Many popular RV parks Pleasant Hill area require advance booking. "Made reservations Thrs. afternoon for 3 nights. Decent clean facilities. No complaints," reported a camper at Tradewinds RV Park.

Price expectations: Bay Area camping commands premium rates. "It's expensive ($122.5 incl. tax), but gives you the opportunity to be in the city," noted one camper. Another mentioned, "We paid $58 for the night, a clean concrete patch, small trees with little or no shade but full hookups."

Tips for camping with families

Delta camping for kids: Rio Viento RV Park offers spacious settings for families. "Very nice large sites with large grass areas pet friendly, amazing helpful and friendly staff," writes one visitor. The park features "Beautiful, quiet clean dog friendly park with very nice helpful staff. Large brick sites."

Space limitations at oceanfront locations: Families need to consider tight quarters at some parks. "This RV resort gets packed!! RV's were super close together so it's a roll of the dice on what kind of neighbors you're gonna get!! There are a few picnic tables around, but nothing in terms of entertainment for kids."

Pool availability varies: Some parks offer swimming options while others don't. A visitor noted one park has a "Nice pool and hot tub, nice laundry facilities," while another mentioned, "Went to check out the pool and hot tub area that looks so nice in their photos and hot tub is covered and not in service."

Tips from RVers

Hookup information: Most RV parks offer multiple connection options. Duck Island RV Park provides comprehensive options as one camper noted: "Also they have 30 and 50 Amps at every site."

Road condition awareness: Access roads to some parks require careful navigation. One Rio Viento visitor warned, "Road to get into the park is rough but take your time, it's worth the drive." Another noted, "The only issue I had which has nothing to do with the park is the road leading into the park is extremely [rough]."

Utility placement considerations: Pay attention to hookup locations when setting up. "The water spigot is really close to the ground and really close to the sewer drain. Scrub with bleach before booking up your water and you'll be fine," advises one experienced RVer.
