Excellent campground
We arrived and looked at our site and needed sun to recharge our batteries so the attendant let us pick one from the available list. A bit dusty but well worth it for the amenities.
S.AllanTravelerClear Lake Campground
Great Camp
This was a nice stay and the owner was friendly and helpful. It has showers, but no pet area or great place to walk dogs. It had full amenities for RVs and both pull in and back in sites. Closely spaced, but awning room. The only two drawbacks are that the price is high for the area, as is the area itself. There are some options to save, so it may be in your budget.
Sidney C.TravelerOlema Campground
Loved it!
Had a late check in after scheduling in the same day, but the staff were so welcoming and helpful over the phone! The campsite is so clean you could walk around barefoot. the scenery is so beautiful with sheep, cattle, mountains and a stream surrounding/on the property. Would definitely recommend

We have stayed here a few times. I have a sister that lives here and this place is only about 3 miles from us! $80 for a back in space.

Friendly staff, nice sites
We enjoyed our stay here while visiting Napa. Extended our stay. Peacocks on the property and rogue goats. Boat launch was not operable on our side of the park.

Sky Campground — Point Reyes National Seashore
Quiet, cool campsite in the "Sky"
Stayed one night at site 5 over the Fourth of July weekend. Great site at the top of the hill. It's a good distance from the bathroom and water (which is really a good thing). Very private compared to some of the other sites, although it's a little more exposed to cooler breezes than some. I used Sky as the intermediary camp between Glen and Coast. The fog rolled in the morning I packed up, and my tent was soaked. Careful if you have a single wall tent :)

Chia-Chia W.GuideOlema Campground
3/5 – Easy to book, plenty of sites, harmless animal
It's a popular campground in the northern california that's relatively easy to book. We book 1-2 weeks before and still got a spot.

Great KOA
We don't have kids, but this is a great place with a petting zoo, pool and hayride.

What to do
Hiking near Lake Hennessey: Visitors to Bothe-Napa Valley State Park can explore nearby Lake Hennessey trails. "We found a great trail close by at Lake Hennessey," noted Peter M., adding variety to the park's existing trail system.
Astronomy sessions: Sugarloaf Ridge State Park offers stellar viewing opportunities at the Robert Ferguson Observatory. "You can walk to the Robert Ferguson Observatory as well! We went on a night hike for a star gazing tour and had a great time," reports Syd D., describing educational nighttime activities.
Horseback riding in Olema: Visit Five Brooks Ranch for guided trail rides. "I would highly recommend Five Brooks Ranch in Olema for horseback riding," suggests Kathleen C. from Samuel P. Taylor State Park Campground, providing an alternative outdoor activity to traditional wine country pursuits.
What campers like
Budget-friendly wine country base: Camping provides significant cost savings compared to local hotels. "Camping here leaves lots of money for food and wine splurges!" notes Susan H. about Ritchey Creek Campground, highlighting the practical economic benefits.

What you should know
Seasonal water restrictions: Creek access may be limited during certain months. "Access to the creek is seasonally restricted for spawning, and I believe that goes from spring to about mid June or July," explains Joseph F. from Samuel P. Taylor State Park Campground.
Poison oak prevalence: Native vegetation includes hazards requiring awareness. "Be careful of the poison oak, it is prevalent there as it is so anywhere in Northern California," warns Robert S. about Bothe-Napa Valley, while Joseph F. adds, "Also, lots of poison oak in the unmaintained areas and off the trails, so be aware."
Midweek advantages: Visitation patterns affect campground atmosphere. "The weekends usually are full, it clears out Sunday evening so during the weekdays it is really nice," explains Robert S., describing optimal timing for a quieter glamping experience in Pope Valley.
Tips for camping with families
Natural quest activities: Sugarloaf Ridge State Park offers engaging activities for children. "Ask about the free quest hike. They send you on an adventure hike and there is treasure at the end of it," recommends Irina Maddie P., describing a specific structured activity.
City park connections: Some campgrounds connect to city facilities with child-friendly attractions. "Connected to Spring Lake Regional Park to the west is Howarth Park, a small city park offering a train ride, carousel, jump house, petting zoo and pony rides," explains Michael I. about Spring Lake Regional Park.
Camp host programs: Educational offerings vary by location and season. "The volunteers who run the place do a fantastic job with everything, from keeping the site clean, to providing tons of info for budding naturalists," notes Scott J. about Sugarloaf Ridge, mentioning the staff-led educational opportunities.
Tips from RVers
Leveling requirements: Terrain affects setup difficulty at certain locations. "Sites are level with minimal need for blocks," notes Adam B. about Skyline Wilderness Park, providing practical setup information.
Water access limitations: RV water hookup availability varies between sites. "Arrive at this park full of water. There was only one spigot with threads (for attaching hose to fill tanks); it was at spot 29," advises Tammy B. about Spring Lake Regional Park, offering specific site information for water access.
Space constraints: Some campgrounds have limited maneuvering room. "It's a bit too tight for large trailer or RV camping (unless you are an expert at maneuvering through tight spaces)," warns Tai W. about Samuel P. Taylor State Park, providing practical sizing guidance for RV campers considering glamping in Pope Valley, California.
