"Because of the holiday and the proximity to Oakland/San Fran, the campground was in FULL EFFECT with a gang of variant families camp site hopping. "
"This campground is less than an hours drive from San Francisco. It is along Sir Francis Drake Boulevard which takes you through a bunch of very cute tiny towns."

I like the sites under the trees rather than those in the open. "

TravelerCasini Ranch is really two campgrounds: the tent campground features charming sites tucked into private groves; the RV sites with electrical and water hookups are crammed together, with little more than a fence post to demarcate them. Some of the RV sites are essentially parallel parking on a dirt roadway.
This campground is NOT for you if you are seeking a quiet experience, connection with nature, a good night’s sleep or reliable wifi. It is for you if you don’t mind throngs of children & teens on motorized scooters, noisy campers partying into the night and a lot of dirt and dust.
Don’t be fooled: The “premium” sites are basically parking spaces in a dirt lot. Also: There is NO VERIZON service in the campsite and limited to no Verizon service for about 1/2 mile out of the campsite.
GuideWe escaped without a scratch but had some, ahem, 'fascinating' moments with our feathered friends. The birds were so fun to watch, especially if you're a fan of the movie! This was the start of a beach vacation, which was the perfect getaway! The campground was very clean. Restrooms and showers were decent. No power and water spigots are there to gather water. Spots are fairly close to the bay. It's not a bad place to pitch camp in the entire area. Change up in the campers a different night was irritating, but the campground ranger got it under control quickly. Highly suggest taking scooters or your bicycle as there are many places to explore within the park. We had fun being part of our own version of "The Birds." You must go into the town to get the experience of seeing where the movie " The Birds" was filmed🐦⬛🦅🐦🦆🦜
TravelerWe arrived around 5:30pm, and were able to park for the night. There are several parking spots Several other campers soon pulled in around us. It’s a very busy overlook for the Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz and the San Francisco Bay, so don’t expect to be here alone. But it’s a great place to stop for a night if you’re in the SF area.
GuideHad a great 1 night stay at Juniper! We didn’t have a reservation, but got 1 upon arrival around 2pm. Our site had nearby bathrooms, showers & trash. It included picnic table, fire pit, food storage boxes, & is very spacious.
The weather in May was really nice imo. Not too cold at night with layers, & starts warming up quick in the morning. Bugs weren’t too bad. Heard coyotes howling night and day which was neat. No raccoons. Saw some lizards.
Just a heads up the drive is windy, I got carsick on the way down. Will be returning & hopefully trying some hikes next time!
GuideArrived after hours end of May on Thursday night. Selected non-reserved level paved site in 54-89 loop (close to bay). Paid using supplied envelope and check drawn on US bank. Two clean restroom/shower buildings in this loop. Each had token machine ($1 for 5 minutes). Good hot water pressure. Saw some porti-potties in other loop so don't know what's working over there. Quiet at night except for non-annoying fog horn and soothing ocean waves over hill. Would stay again. NOTE: Wright's Beach State Park campground 5-miles north has Overflow camping next to entrance station (no hook-ups).
GuideStaff at the visitor center/store were friendly. Sugarloaf had lots of sites to choose from. We had many neighbors (mostly RVs) but enough space between sites. Can’t blame the campsite for the guy who brought a tv & played it out loud lol. It was quiet by 10pm.
The weather was nice mid-April. Good amount of shade. Flat ground for tent. Picnic table, fire pit, bear box, nearby bathrooms & dumpsters.
The flying bugs / mosquitoes were out so come prepared. Only left with 1-2 bites = victory! We walked the “Nature Trail” through the campground & when we tried to sit they would swarm. But it was a nice short easy walk, where we saw a rabbit, turkeys, lizards, deer, & quails! Seems they have lots of hikes available. Had a great time!
GuideWe spent a long weekend here at the end of February. Weather was as to be expected for near the coast, but sheltered enough from the wind. Sites were large, water fill stations and bathrooms (with showers) were easily accessible, though one was out of order for construction. This is a great place for family, kids rode bikes all weekend. Nobody was too loud or partying late. Short drives to the beach and town for candy and ice cream. Will definitely be back.
GuideSpent the weekend with family (10 kids, 6 adults) at Casini Ranch for a couple birthdays. Kids were busy the whole time, riding bikes and scooters, playing on the jump pillow, feeling the animals. Sites are HUGE! We had plenty of room for our trailer, tent, corn hole, and more. Staff is friendly and helpful, the store is great - they have most of whatever you may need. My youngest was crying when we had to leave today. We will definitely be back.
TravelerI added pictures below because we couldn't find any pictures of space 14 online before we left. Hopefully this will help anyone else that is wondering how much space they will have. It works, but with a 23' trailer it was tight. Parking wasn't fun- but we did it! Woud prefer a beach front spot if we are lucky enough to get one in the future, wind is the trade off.
No showers but the restrooms are clean, have warm/hot running water and plugs. Good spot to blow dry your hair if you can shower in the trailer!
Great campsite to add to our list of sonoma campgrounds by the beach that we love!
