"Beautiful trees and wonderful California charm. The campsites were decently located. Above the Mendocino coast the mornings are wet and Cold. Loved this place"
"Nice place to eat within walking distance but make reservations on a weekend. WiFi. Showers. Spots are close together but the drive here is amazing. Openings on a Saturday night."
"Near Pt. Reyes National Seashore. One complaint was they weed whipped the sites next to us rather then mow. Very loud."
"Really great site right next to the water and beach. The hike in is pretty easy and beautiful. We had fun making a fire on the beach at night. It's pretty windy, so be prepared."

RangerStayed here for a long weekend with friends in Napa Valley.
Location itself is GREAT. 5 mins from everything in town. Had good cell service and park was clean. Was quiet busy during the day as it is also a day use park with lots of activities.
Sites were cramped in tight. $65/night for water and electricity. They have a dog run area that is nice and large! Bath houses were also nice. Good hot showers.
Knocking it down a star for the tight sites and the check in staff were rude almost every time I talked to her. Also lots of little bitty rules of being picky. Overall would stay here again.
ScoutBooked a site at this park with a rental trailer to try out the camping concept. Beautiful place right on Bodega Bay. Very cool at night, even in June. Friendly neighbors and pull through sites. But be aware, not all sites have water hookups. All in all a nice experience and we will be going back when we take delivery of our own trailer.
LegendI camped here prior to Covid and there was already a lot of peeps camping up and down the streets outside the campground and I know that it has increased in numbers since. Inside the campground it was fine and didn't get hassled at all. Used this spot to attend an event at the Marconi Center and commuted on my bike without issue. Don't know that I would vacation here necessarily but the campground overall had nice showers and worked for what I needed overall a nice place just in a tough neighborhood.
LegendVery nice park for an on the water location, I've been to some where you can't even turn without hitting someone. The area is a bit industrial but quick access to San Fran and the other sites around town. Nice bike trail right on the water
GuideCasini 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🐦⬛🦅🐦🦆🦜
LegendThis is our 3rd or 4th stay here. We visit people in the Bay Area and this place is convenient to Palo Alto and the Peninsula. It is usually not crowded, but this trip has more rigs the bathrooms are modern and clean, if spartan. The showers are roomy with ok water pressure (for California) and warm water. The laundry is super convenient. They even have summer ranger programs but we didn’t see many kids here. We are in a Class B van, but many sites are large enough for Class A rigs. Every time we have stayed here it has been windy. Sites, though asphalt, require some leveling.
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!
