  Coast Campground — Point Reyes National Seashore

  Awesome location

  Inside the Point Reyes National seashore, this is a hike in only campground. But has pit toilets, potable water. Groups sites also available. Sites have picnic tables and bear/critter lockers for food. 2 min walk to beach, with amazing views of the cliffs and seashore. Access to a long list of other short/long hikes.

  Coast Campground — Point Reyes National Seashore

  A Favorite Spot

  Coast camp is a favorite get away.  In the Point Reyes National Seashore it is in a valley that is minutes from the beach.  The beach offers tidepools close by as well as a great place for beach fire (permit needed).  There are two routes to hike in. I prefer the longer Coast Trail (about half a mile longer) rather than the fireroad for it's scenic beauty.

  The campsites go from surrounded by coyote brush to out in the open to secluded.  I like the sites back in the valley as there is less wind or fog.  That would be 13 and 14.

  Always expect fog.  Expect cold and damp at night.

  There are miles of beach ot explore, and you can continue along teh coast trail to hike even farther.

  Olema Campground

  Only Game in Town

  If you want to explore the Point Reyes National Seashore you do not have many options.  This facility has been there a long time, and while not the best, it gives you great access.  It is mostly used for RV's some appear to be year round residents.  I am a tent camper and there are tent camping sites.  They are on a grassy area and not well defined.  Not a lot of shade for tent sites.

  That being said you are at the gateway to a large fabulous national seashore.

  They have great ameneities - a store, post office, hot showers.  Everything you need is there.  There is a great restuarant down the road and a church next door!

  Samuel P. Taylor State Park Campground

  Lots of good things here...

  Camped here for three nights over Fourth of July holiday (site 52).  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.   Unfortunately, the site across from mine was the epicenter of all things July 4th and the aforementioned multivariate families.  Had I chosen the site to my left, or a few more down the road, I would have barely noticed them at all - sites 47-44 had no one across the way, more private, set back.  Aside from the crew across the way playing the LOUDEST game of cornhole/bags I have ever heard (think gunshot every time a bag struck the board), the group(s) were mostly awkward lively teenagers and their parents (think Riverdale without the murders).  To the teenagers' credit, I didn't hear a curse word from the group, just pure spaz.  I think they really did create some rad summer memories.  Having said all that, if I returned I would snag site 44.  Just trust me on this.  Most of the sites are pretty decent, but 44 was the best. 

  In terms of cell service, I had pretty good range, was able to listen to the Cubs win one of four games against the Pirates (the series started with a brutal take down of the Cubs 18 to 5 - don't worry - Cubs managed a 3 game sweep of them a week later).

  Bathrooms are decent, not the cleanest, but well stocked and had hand soap.   Coin operated showers were also a treat (again, not the cleanest, but...).  Potable water close to sites.  Raccoons, Chipmunks and Blue Jays were NOT SHY but also not a harrowing issue.   

  The win on this campground is how close it is to Point Reyes National Seashore, San Rafael, Olema, Novato and Marshall.  I would highly recommend Five Brooks Ranch in Olema for horseback riding, Hog Island in Marshall (snag a picnic table and shuck your own oysters - definitely a highlight) and Cowgirl Creamery in Point Reyes Station.  Oh, Point Reyes Yoga - yes to this!  - also in Point Reyes Station.  Novato had the most adorable 4th of July parade complete with a pancake breakfast.  And San Rafael - home of Terrapin Crossroads - music venue of the one and only Phil Lesh was also a highlight.  There is also Kayaking in Tomales Bay which is okay fun.

  Overall, this is a campground that checks a LOT of boxes.

  One thing to note, the night is COLD up this way, and mere miles will cover several different weather systems.  Bring layers.  

  Happy camping!

  Bodega Bay RV Park

  Great location, lots of campers

  Clean and well laid out. Laundry has 3 washers and 3 dryers. Prices are high but normal for CA. It’s a bit of a walk to the nearest beach, but you can drive if you want to. Sites are all gravel with a picnic table and divided by a fence. It’s a packed place with no real views. Staff is very nice. Dogs were wondering through our site and quiet hours were not enforced.

  San Francisco North-Petaluma KOA

  Great camp for the kids

  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.

  Samuel P. Taylor State Park Campground

  Crowded, but beautiful!

  This campground is beautiful, set in the redwoods, with a creek and nature trails. It has all the amenities: flush toilets, showers, fire pits, running water, and grills. The only drawback is the sites are small and close together, affording very little privacy. The campground can be pretty loud at night too. If you're looking for peace, quiet, and seclusion, this might not be the campground for you. We really enjoyed it though because we have a three year old, and with all the other noise in the campground, I didn't have to feel bad when she was being loud. Also, watch out for the raccoons! They stole my bread that I stupidly left out, and then tried to get into our ice chest. There are lockers provided at each campsite. Use them!

  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!

  Johnson's Beach

  Good location but mediocre camping

  Just got back from a 2 night stay at Johnson's Beach campsite. We found the camp grounds to be so-so and not the most maintained. While we were there, we saw more than a few families come for a night and leave earlier than expected because of complaints of their sites. 

  If you are interested in Johnson's Beach, I'd rather do one of their glamping tents or bungalow instead.

  Pros:

  • Good location to the beach; 2 minute walk from camp site to the beach.

  • Nice clean and well maintained bathrooms and showers.

  • 5 minute walk to downtown / Safeway

  • Host (Chris) was nice and did his best.

  • Outlets at each site.

  • Well shaded by trees (although is also a con).

  Cons:

  • Camp sites too cramped/small, especially from 20 - 25. Hardly any breathing room.
  • Camp sites are right behind a bar (?) and homes so we heard a lot of partying, singing, dog barking well into the night
  • Road next to the camp sites used by cars to reach the beach. Cars would stir up dust. 
  • A lot of trees but frequented by crows. The crows can be very noisy and loved to poop all around the camp grounds.
