Best RV Parks & Resorts near San Rafael, CA

Close to the ocean at Jenner. Campground is next to the Russian River. Family activities and games for kids (playground, volleyball). Some shaded site, a mix of sunny locations and partial shade. Full RV hook ups and tent sites. River access for swimming & boating. No sandy beach.

Rv park at the fairgrounds, walk to downtown Napa. Concrete pads, full hook ups. Basic but great!

We visited this park earlier this spring. Yes it was wet, but we didn't mind. Liked the spaces and layout so much...we are going back this fall. Plus we love that whole area.

However, DYRT got some info wrong. While there are plenty of full hookup spaces for RVs, there are no pull thru sites. Only back in for trailers and drive-in for coaches. Many tent camping spaces and RV spaces w/just water and power. The folks are friendly and helpful.

The streets are lined with homeless living in RVs etc leading up to the RV park and after, it smells like sewage. When arriving I was moved to 3 different sites, all of which I couldn’t fit into. The guy running the park blamed me for not telling him I have a tow vehicle... he did however know the length of my trailer and every spot he put me in wasn’t long enough for the trailer alone. I may have been able to back into the spaces but would’ve been hanging out a bit which I could’ve tried to deal with if it weren’t for the fact that I could not maneuver to back into any space because everyone that’s there has been there very long term and is living there. They all have garbage and debris overflowing their sites preventing me from backing in properly. The place is incredibly run down and dirty, it didn’t feel safe. I requested my money back which he did and then I left. I can’t believe that even being in the city, though the bad side of the city at that he’s charging $125 a night! I’ve been all over the country and I have to say that $25-$30 a night would be an extreme stretch realistically. Stay far away from here, it’s not safe, it’s not clean.

Very large, clean, well maintained campground. Sites range from tent camping to RV water and electric only to full hookups. It's centrally located halfway between Gurneville and Bodega Bay. Great place as a base for days at the beach, hiking at Armstrong Woods, or fishing.

Our group stayed here in early August of 2017. This RV resort gets packed!! RV’s were super close together so it’s a roll of the dice on what kind of neighbors you’re gonna get!!There are a few picnic tables around, but nothing in terms of entertainment for kids. Thank goodness we brought the kids’ bikes!! If you are willing to sacrifice the close proximity to neighbors, there are some killer views of the Pacific Ocean. We even saw whales!! The sunset was pretty killer, too.

For what this RV park is designed to be, it is done very well. It’s a parking lot with full hookups strategically located to public transit direct to San Francisco. It’s surprisingly quiet for being in a semi industrial area right next to the 101, but there is road noise of course. The staff is very friendly and helpful.

But I can’t give a parking lot 4 or 5 stars. That said it served our needs just fine and we’d stay there again, especially if we were visiting San Fran.

You are not roughing it here. Stayed many times over Covid and loved it. I have stayed in premium sites and in full hook up sites. Premiums are my favorites. They only have power and water but they are more isolated in the trees rather than a long row of RVs. All sites have cable TV and good Rudy from my experience. Fire puts when allowed by California. Russian River gets surprisingly warm during the summer.

My wife and I spent two days there, full hook-up with cable TV decent TV reception too. Cell worked well. Close to restaurants and grocery.

Nice spaces with privacy fences, picnic tables and full hook ups available. Clean and well maintained. Adjacent to the Sunday farmers market which is a nice treat.

If you wanna rv and craving crab,chowder, and oysters this is the spot for you, full hook up,fire pit , and picnic table walking distance to a restaurant and shops great views very relaxing...the down side is the price,wifi,and a little close to each other.....I would definitely come back if they bring the price down

We (party of 4) were there primarily because we rented a boat from their Marina. That went well! This is an RV campground & full-complement resort on Bethel Island, San Joaquin River Delta. Many RVers appear to be long-term or full-time residents.

The tent-area was a clearing, fully backed up to the levee, with some shade and a water spigot. Appears to be only 4 “sites,” which are defined by picnic tables, GENEROUSLY spaced, no fire rings AND the Delta is h.o.t.! It’s also on the far edge of the property, so car traffic was MINIMUM — and NO generators were heard, even though the RV section is huge!!!

The rest rooms were in the Marina building, a short walk. We would DEFINITELY return for boating and tenting!!!

This campground is on Russian river. They have full hook ups and a lot of very cool sites. They have an insane amount of kids activities! Face paining, s’mores campfire, hay ride, parks, kareoke- just to name a few! Easily one of our fav campgrounds!

Bodega Bay CA. On the water. Grounds well maintained. No toilet paper in men’s bathroom. First place in CA where no recycling offered. No signs to direct you to office. Full hook ups over $100. Dry sites for $65. We were not informed about dry sites. Place nearly empty.

This campground was a challenge to get to. Many windy roads (clearly not their fault). Some shady sites. Few full hook up available. Honey wagon available for non-sewer sites for $25. Clean bathrooms/showers. Dirt sites mostly level. The sites across the back of the campground are beautiful. Most have nice space between them. Great laundry room! I would book here again for a good long stay! Lots to do as it is near San Francisco, beaches, and Reyes Point. Nice “town” area too not far away.

This RV Park gets 5 stars purely for it's location.  Drive in, park and then walk to all the sights you want to see in San Francisco.  A short 10 minute walk from the RV park is the ferry that will drop you off downtown San Francisco.  We spent a week here and only drove when we wanted the experience driving down Lombard St and driving across the Golden Gate Bridge.  Otherwise we took the ferry and then public transportation to all other points of interest in the San Francisco area.  It truly is nothing more than a parking lot with hookups.
