"I was lucky enough to spend four nights here last winter. It was breezy and rained on and off. The walk in sites are secluded and this park has all the amenities including free showers."
"This was a nice campground very close to the beach. Great place to take kids. The RV spaces were very tight and close together."
"Older campground so facilities are old but clean and full functional. Of course I had to visit during a heat wave."
"THis place is clean abd has a general store that has pretty much anything you could need. Pitched a tent on the river- not many tents though this is more for rvs."
"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."
"The Mendocino redwoods RV resort just outside of Willits on CA-20 to Fort Bragg, California, was 3 years ago a KOA resort."
$37 - $42 / night
"Located next to Pomo Bluffs Park and over looking the ocean and the Noyo River/Bay. Stayed 6 days in November paid $250. Full hook ups with cable."
"Nice place to camp with a lots of hiking trails, very well managed. The one that stand more, is the wonderful ocean view."
"Stayed one night, full hookup for $37 with discount. Fair grounds with stock car racing on Saturday night, a little noisy until 10:00, but did not really notice it much inside RV. "
$30 / night
"Woodside RV Park in Fort Bragg may not be the most luxurious but it’s quiet and clean. I rated 5 star due to the kindness and hospitality of the hosts - Dan and his daughter, Phyllis."
$22 - $75 / night
"This park has two parts: most is across the street from the lake but some spots are lakeside. The lakeside spots are very tight together-and require backing in."
"She answered all our questions and showed us around. We feel in love with this place! 💕 You can fish right from your camp spot if you get a spot right on the water."
"Showed us how to hook everything and he even started a fire for us. The other half of the park has permanent residents. The few people that we ran into were very friendly."
"The site we are on is located between a marina and the Noyo River. It allows for easy access for paddle boarding, kayaking, swimming and seals, sea lions and other wildlife."
"Full hook ups only. Just in land enough to be out of the wind and warm"
$50 - $73 / night
"The convenience of being so close to town, yet feeling like you’re in the forest is hard to beat. There are showers & restrooms, although the showers operate on quarters."
"I picked site 47 out of the three that were left when I was searching for a place near Fort Bragg."
TravelerWe love this place. We've been here for 2 months now off and on. The site we are on is located between a marina and the Noyo River. It allows for easy access for paddle boarding, kayaking, swimming and seals, sea lions and other wildlife. Last night a 6 point deer walked past our site. The rates are pretty reasonable and the people that run the campgrounds are great to work with. There is a kayak/sup rental as well next door. If you're lucky the maintenance guy will sing or whistle while doing his work, and makes for a good show! It does close down except for long-term use in the winter time (November-??) due to coastal seasonal flooding. Internet can be occasionally spotty but we use AT&T and Verizon which work well. Cable is provided. Full hook ups. Due to Covid enquire about the bathroom situation when calling to book. Walking distance from the harbor and a quick bike ride to the bluffs overlooking the ocean.
ScoutTucked in the woods and yet minutes from the water! Great toilets, nice fire pits, family friendly
RangerSuch 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.
GuideBeautiful location, campground was easily accessible going up Elk Mountain Road. Camped in Site 11, pull through, no hook ups, nice picnic table, grill and fire pit. Vault toilets, no showers. There is potable water close to the campsites. Very quiet during the week, it did get noisier on the weekends, but everyone settled down for the evening.
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.
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.
LegendGeneral: 19 general and six walk-in campsites among giant redwood and Bay Laurel trees on the Gualala River. Sites 17 & 18 are a double site.
Site Quality: Level sites with bear box, picnic table, and fire ring. Site One’s camper pad fit our 18-foot camper van, but it would not accommodate anything much larger. Several other camper pads looked short as well. No hookups.
Bath/Shower house: Three individual units with toilet, sink, soap, and paper towels. One shower that takes quarters – three minutes for $2.00.
Activities: There is a trail that leads through the walk-in sites, under Highway One, and to the beach, approximately 1.5 miles. You can also drive to the day-use area for a shorter walk. We were there on a weekday but there were many activities scheduled for the upcoming weekend including kayaking on Bodega Bay, outside yoga, and healthy hustle circuit training – I was sad to miss all of these options.
This campground is beautiful and peaceful. But note that although we did not encounter any, several other campers experienced over-eager raccoons while eating dinner. There was also a sign warning of mountain lions but we did not encounter any. Shout-out to the ranger who shared a lot of good information about the area.
ScoutThe owner is very accommodating but doesn’t give refunds. That didn’t affect me but I’ve heard lots of people complain. The sites are close together but full hookups (except sewer) and a picnic table and fire ring at each one. Dump station is free to campers and was easy to use. Check after noon for the most updated info. Mike the owners was very helpful and so was his staff. I’ve heard there’s a pool but I didn’t use it. A bit pricey but so is everyone else in the area. I felt safe there, and would stay again.
RangerMellow campground. Well maintained.
The trailhead to the beach or a forest hike is right next to the overflow parking lot.
The beach is rocky and not suitable for swimming but there were lots of people fishing.
The hikes are simply gorgeous and no one was on the trail despite a full campground.
A good mix of small travel trailers and tent camping.
Firewood is available. The water is not suitable for drinking due to e.Coli.
There are no first come first serve sites, or ability to take unreserved sites and everything must be reserved using the site. This was frustrating because empty sites went unused and the camp host was unwilling to let anyone use them lest someone made a last second online reservation.
We camped at site 15. It was nice and fit a 18ft travel trailer perfectly. It was not a back in site so our trailer was a great privacy wall against the road and there were nice trees on the other side. A small berm blocked the other site on either side.
We found a HUGE tick in my daughters hair so check yourselves.
The dump station started to back up about halfway through dumping our gray water, so beware. I notified the ranger and he was pretty nonchalant about it.
Others reviews say they didn’t have cell but we have AT&T’s and had good coverage
