    Dolphin Isle Marina & RV Park

    Quiet, seals, deer and wildlife

    We 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.

    Caspar Beach RV Park & Campground

    Steps from the beach

    Its a super cramped campground for big rigs. Much nicer and more privacy if tenting. The best spot is “ocean view” but its time to change the name. That site is for tenting but can accommodate a small rv or van. The vegetation is so tall there is no actual ocean view. Restrooms are clean. Showers coin operated. Awesome location. Friendly folks. Good camp store.

    Letts Lake Campground — Mendocino National Forest

    Dry Campig for 35' RV

    We originally were going to Fouts Creek Campground but it was HOV weekend (Presidents). Lots of dirt bikes and law enforcement. National Forest pulled in officers from surrounding forests and Sheriff Depts.

    With a 35' Class A our options were limited. A Ranger suggested Letts Lake. There is a narrow one lane newly paved road that goes up to Dixie Glade equestrian camp, from there it is dirt. Taking it slow, we made it to Letts Lake and parked in spot 12. It was a tight fit, but we made it.

    There are two additional campgrounds at the opposite end of the lake but they are closed for winter. As there was no water or trash service there was no fee. Typically $5.00)

    The lake is small with no motors allowed but easy to walk around. Pet friendly in fact all but one campsite had at least one dog.  Fire damage to the forest is substantial but new growth is already starting

    Middle Creek Campground

    Great place for dry camping

    Beautiful 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.

    Westport Beach RV Park and Campground

    All the ammenities!

    We spent 4 nights here with our travel trailer. We had a site with full hook ups, including sewage (no need for dumping station!!). This is a great campground that is right on the beach! It has showers, flushing toilets, a little store, fire wood for sale, dish washing station, and even WiFi! The campground was very clean and really perfect for families! Couldn’t recommend more!

    Mendocino Redwoods RV Resort

    Great for families with little ones

    We 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.

    Gualala Point Regional Park

    Small but beautiful county campground

    General: 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.

    Hidden Pines RV Park & Campground

    Quiet, no frills but safe

    The 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.

    Hendy Woods State Park Campground

    Family Freindly Redwood Camping

    Spacious sites with fire pit, wooden food box and picnic table. Potable water available at spigots along the roads every 3-4 campgrounds. The campground has restrooms with sinks (bring your own soap), flush toilets, coin operated showers. Campground ha easy access to hiking, swimming in the river, and wine tasting just up the road. There a local produce stands just up the road where you can expect to buy tasty Gravenstien apples if you visit in August! Mosquitoes are present so bring bug spray! If you forget anything, there is a Mom and Pop store up the road that sells almost everything you need including batteries, tableclothes, butane, ice and firewood for about $6 a bundle. The campground host sells firewood for $8 a bundle. Campsites are for 8 people maximum. Even with 8 people, we didn't feel cramped. Sites come with 2 parking passes. If you have more than two cars in your party, you can pay for additional parking passes. Dog friendly! I was the only person in my group to have cell service here and I have Verizon.


Guide to Potter Valley

RV camping near Potter Valley, California offers diverse overnight options for motorhomes and tent campers alike. This mountainous region sits at elevations ranging from 800 to 3,000 feet above sea level, with summer temperatures averaging 85-95°F during daytime hours. The terrain features steep mountain passes that connect inland valleys to coastal campgrounds, with road conditions varying significantly throughout the seasons.

What to do

Disc golf course access: Mendocino Redwoods RV Resort features a disc golf course with unique terrain challenges. "The disc golf course offers beautiful views when on top of the course, but watch out for poison oak!" warns one visitor.

Paddling opportunities: The Aurora RV Park & Marina offers free watercraft for guests. "They offer FREE canoe/paddle boating. Bathrooms are kept clean and mike, the owner is amazing," shares a camper who enjoyed this amenity at The Aurora RV Park & Marina.

Beach exploration: Coastal campgrounds provide direct access to secluded beaches. "We were lucky to get a site right next to the beach for our class B RV. This is a beautiful site along Highway 1," notes a visitor to Westport Beach RV Park and Campground.

Bird watching: Wetland areas near lakeside campgrounds support diverse bird populations. "Although it is along town building, the water side is a low water estuary or sorts - lots of tall grasses and duckweed type plants. Many birds. I even saw an egret," reports a camper.

What campers like

Family entertainment: Kid-focused amenities make some parks particularly suitable for families. "A petting zoo, water play, pool, arcade and events. We were there for movie night. They had a big screen and showed a film for the kiddos," notes a visitor to Mendocino Redwoods RV Resort.

Hot tub sites: Premium accommodations at select RV parks include private hot tubs. "We stayed in one of the premium hot tub sites, where you get your very own hot tub. Highly recommend, my kids absolutely loved it and so did I!"

Waterfront camping: Direct lake access provides both recreational opportunities and scenic views. "Nice little rv park. They offer FREE canoe/paddle boating. Bathrooms are kept clean and mike, the owner is amazing. Real nice guy and very helpful. Only thing is the road along side of park. People speed way too fast on the corner."

Evening activities: Campgrounds frequently offer programmed events during summer months. "We were there for movie night. They had a big screen and showed a film for the kiddos. Good stopover."

What you should know

Space limitations: Many RV sites have tight spacing between units. "Tight campground surrounding area is nice. Sites are close. Some don't even have area for chairs or picnic tables," observes a visitor to Thousand Trails Russian River.

Cost considerations: Price increases have affected some campgrounds in recent years. "My chief complaint was the raising of prices a few years ago to an absurd amount for camping. Pretty nice if you can afford it."

Road access challenges: Highway approaches to coastal campgrounds involve winding roads with size restrictions. "To get to clear lake from the west the road is very windy and only allows 34 feet and I think that is pushing it."

Seasonal crowding: Summer months bring significantly higher visitor numbers to popular sites. "If you have a larger rig be very conscious of where the spots are that allow for them. Ask at the ranger office for the list of ones they should have open. Drive extremely slow. Roads and turns are very narrow."

Tips for camping with families

Kids' activities: Some RV parks specifically cater to families with younger children. "This is a great family campground. Bring your kids, plenty to do for them. No kids? Want to be at a quiet campground? Enjoy nature? Not here!" advises a visitor to Caspar Beach RV Park & Campground.

Age-specific amenities: Consider the age of your children when selecting a campground. "We 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."

Pool temperature variations: Swimming pools at RV resorts may not always be heated adequately. "We were just a few steps from the pool, which was clean, but pretty cold. It didn't seem like it was heated. If it is, it's not heated well."

Splash pad options: Water play areas provide alternatives to swimming for younger children. "The splash pad was a family favorite. The petting zoo, was also super cute and the animals seemed like they were well taken care of."

Tips from RVers

Site selection strategy: Choose your site carefully based on specific needs. "If you have a larger rig be very conscious of where the spots are that allow for them. Ask at the ranger office for the list of ones they should have open."

Hookup variations: Different RV parks offer varying levels of utility connections. "No sewer but they do have a dumping station and a honey pot service for $35 so we took advantage of that," shares a visitor to Redwood Empire Fair RV Park.

Off-season advantages: Lower occupancy during shoulder seasons means more space and privacy. "It's June 23th and the wild flowers are busting out! The park is on a bluff with ocean views. I could stay here year round."

Drive-through challenges: Some RV sites have physical limitations that may damage larger vehicles. "Some spots are inclined in a way that your hind end may really scrape the ground/asphalt. There are grooves in the road everywhere it is common."
