Cell service varies significantly throughout the coastal areas, with visitors reporting good Verizon and AT&T coverage at some parks while others have limited connectivity. Many campgrounds provide dump stations for a fee, typically $7 at county parks, though facilities occasionally experience maintenance issues. During foggy coastal conditions, RVers should be prepared for moisture and occasional wind, with inland locations generally offering more protection from coastal elements. Pet policies differ between parks, with most allowing dogs but some restricting pets from trails and beach areas. Sites along the Russian River tend to fill quickly during warmer months when water activities are popular.

    Bodega Bay RV Park

    Bodega Bay for a couple days

    Checked in a little later in the day- they had our name and spot on a sheet tacked on the bulletin board at the check-in area-

    Our spot was very close to the entrance – mostly level a little angle downhill so bring some blocks.

    First made the mistake of trying to back in- it turns out these are pull in spots, so make sure if you’re not in a pull through that you read the sheet and determine if you should pull in or back in.

    Fairly quiet on a Saturday night close to town and a very comfortable stay.

    Only electric and water hook ups but 50 amp is really nice and they have a dump here at the park. You can use when you check out.

    When I did have a chance to meet them in the office, they seemed really nice at the front desk, and kind of surprised that we would check in our second vehicle :) maybe most people don’t. ;)

    Porto Bodega Marina & RV Park

    Good spot for power+shower+refresh.

    This was some “glamping” for us. We’re in a van with no consistent onboard power or water, so we do a night or two out and a night at a site with more amenities. This was a perfect stop driving south on the 1 after the previous night remote on the coast and a planned need for StarLink with power source. Park is clean and well-organized, if tight, and the bathrooms are super clean and door-coded, with included hot showers. Right on the marina, fun if you enjoy harbor/boating scenery, and good food within walking distance. No way - that I found - to reserve online, but a phone call at 9am on a Saturday was returned within 10 minutes and got it done. Range of big rigs to camper vans, easy access and enough room to negotiate into spots. Very welcoming, safe, laid back environment.

    Magical forests

    Westside Regional Park

    Great views, but close to the neighbors

    First, you stay here for the views. Great views from the first two rows closest to the water. There are very few plantings between spaces. No hook ups at all, but water is available if you fill before you park. Seven dollar dump station. Each campsite has a fire ring and a wooden picnic table and grass. Since there’s no hook ups between the hours of 8 AM and 8 PM, you will always be listening to somebody’s generator running. Always. No privacy at this campground. I did not check out the bathrooms for the campground, but I did look at the bathrooms for the large boat launch area next-door. No showers in that bathroom, but it was clean. A bit spendy for no hookups. Safe. Zero long term campers when I was here. There are no first come first served campsites at this location. All camping spaces had a reserve sign on them, even though the place was about 40% full. Completely dark at night, which was great.

    Vineyard RV Park

    Meh CG and short sites

    We are full-timers in a 36 ft Class A with a Cherokee Trailhawk tow. We were in site 61, a“Premium” Pull-through site, for 3 days in early October, while visiting family in the area. This is probably the most critical review of a CG that we have posted in the 2 years we’ve be full-timing and for$76/night(with discount), I would expect much, much more from a CG. The staff at checkin were very friendly, but we didn’t see anyone patrolling the CG while we were there. It was fairly quiet when we arrived during the week, but got a little raucous on the weekend and I-505 road noise is fairly noticeable at night. The CG is“clean” and otherwise quiet, but showing its age a bit. The two pools looked pretty decent, but we didn’t use them. All of the sites are fairly short and very close. Bigger rig tow vehicles either extend into or are parked partially on the roads through the CG, although the roads are fairly wide throughout. The CG consists mostly permanent/semi-permanent residences. Most of those sites are are all gravel. There appeared to only be a few transient spaces, maybe 12-15, which were also short, but with grass, tables and foliage between sites. There are no green spaces to walk your dog. Everything that isn’t paved or graveled is basically bare dirt or tall, dead weeds, except the playground and one other area, and neither of those areas allow dogs. You are pretty much relegated to walking the CG roads or using the“off-leash” area, which is a fenced in treed area but is also just bare dirt and clearly not everyone cleans up after their dogs. They have signs for a Pet Walk, but this is just a very short walk on more dirt. The ponds on the map are fenced off and are either muddy brown or algae green pits with fountains- not very aesthetically appealing. AT&T coverage was just ok, with 2 bars of LTE and speeds up to 0.8 MB/s. The CG WiFi through TengoInternet.com is bit wanky, only allowing 3 connected devices and requiring a Browser to connect, so devices without one(Apple TV, WiFi router, etc.) are out of luck. Their website had a link to a page that was supposed to tell you how to connect them, but resulted in a 404 page not found error. We saw speeds up to 1 MB/s., but much less when everyone is online. Disconnecting WiFi and reconnecting seemed to help some. We were able to get DISH coverage on all three western satellites at our site. There were 35 OTA channels to be had with our fixed omni antenna. We would not stay here again.

    Lawson's Landing

    beach adjacent fun

    I've camped here about half a dozen times over the years and while each experience has been different, they were all enjoyable and I would easily return again.

    There are a variety of campsites, and they are many - we camp as close to the ocean as possible in the meadow area. There are port-o-potties on site but they're not always super close to your campsite. You typically do have to hike the ocean from the dunes, and while some consider it a light and easy walk, for others it could be difficult. There are other sites closer to the waterfront, but I haven't personally camped there yet and can't testify to the ease.

    The weather is GREAT, and you can usually count on some light wind daily. It's amazing kite weather. The sites are in full-sun, so plan for shading yourself. I suggest a pop-up canopy, and double suggest staking it down.

    We've run out of firewood on occasion and bartered with other campers (some have kindly donated some for the night and we reimburse their wood in the morning). There's a lovely general store and restaurant nearby with delicious clam chowder. There is also a day-area beach, a really cool pier where folks crab, and loads of fishing. Pet friendly, sand dunes where you'll see lots of action, and just a lovely area. Camping is year round, and the weather is typically PERFECT.

    Sugarloaf Ridge State Park Campground

    Wooded with a creek, many trails, family friendly in the North Bay.

    The campground at Sugarloaf Ridge State Park offers a range of decent sites. There are certainly some that are better situated than others regarding size, shade, and other amenities--but the entire campground is nice. Well maintained, and located in a State Park that is run by a non-profit "Team Sugarloaf". Sonoma Creek runs along the campground and there is a waterfall a short hike away. There are showers for a quarter per minute, if you want to freshen up after a big hike like to the peak of Bald Mt. Visitor's Center has educational displays, maps, and a variety of items for sale. Ice and fire wood available. Each site has a table and fire pit. Great little get away spot that feels farther in the wilderness than it is at all. Close to Sonoma and Santa Rosa. Year-round camping--beautiful in all seasons.

    There is also an observatory in the park, one Saturday night per month the hold "Star Parties" and for just $2 you can spend the evening looking through great telescopes and learning about space from experts. Kids are free! It is walking distance from the campground. If you have flashlights that have a red night-vision setting, those are recommended to use there--otherwise they'll give you red cellophane to cover your light so that it doesn't interfere with star viewing.

    Vineyard RV Park

    Super basic but clean

    There’s really no where else to camp in this area that is convenient to the freeway. We walked in with no reservation and got a pull through spot with a bit of grass. Full hookups, no fire pits, but picnic tables at each spot. Pool, pet park, bathrooms, and free showers. Quiet park but nobody was outside cause it was 102!! We relaxed in the trailer with a/c until it cooled off to the low 90’s which was at about 8pm. Good for one night as you’re traveling through though.


Guide to Sebastopol

RV campgrounds near Sebastopol, California offer diverse options for visitors exploring Sonoma County's Russian River region. Located 55 miles north of San Francisco at an elevation of 75-85 feet, the area experiences a Mediterranean climate with coastal fog influence. Summer temperatures typically range from 75-85°F during day and 50-55°F at night, creating comfortable conditions for RV camping throughout peak season.

What to do

Water activities on the Russian River: Campers staying at River Bend Resort can access beachfront swimming areas. "This place has it all... beach front access where the river does a nice bend. There is every type of camp spot, river front RV, tent, back your overland rig and camp off your tailgate," notes Jeff A.

Explore local markets: The Bodega Bay area hosts weekend farmers markets adjacent to some campgrounds. At Bodega Bay RV Park, "On Saturdays there is a farmer's market on the property adjacent to the park," shares Edward R. This provides convenient access to local produce without leaving the immediate area.

Kayak rentals: Several campgrounds offer equipment for water exploration. "They offer FREE canoe/paddle boating," reports Melissa C. about The Aurora RV Park & Marina, adding that they provide life jackets at no additional cost for guests.

What campers like

Direct beach access: Waterfront sites are highly valued by RVers. "We did drive-in at one of the dry camps and it had your typical fire pit (dryer wheel) and picnic table - the view was gorgeous! Right next to the dock with an awesome view of the boats and bay," explains Khang N. about Porto Bodega Marina & RV Park.

Nearby dining options: Many RV parks feature restaurants within walking distance. Filipino Jack T. notes, "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."

Well-maintained facilities: Regular site maintenance is appreciated by campers. At Bodega Bay RV Park, "The park is very well-maintained, nicely landscaped, and each day the crew cleans and rakes all of the sites after check-out," according to Edward R.

What you should know

Size restrictions: Some parks limit RV access based on age or size. At Sonoma County Fairgrounds RV Park, Chelsey M. reports, "We arrived in our 34 foot motor home only for someone to tell us they only accepted RVs 10 years and newer which is obviously not the case."

Site spacing: Parks vary significantly in site proximity. "The sites have weeds, are gravel and most have no shade. But it's close to Trader Joe's and Costco," warns Karen N. about Sonoma County Fairgrounds RV Park.

Road conditions: Access to some campgrounds requires navigating challenging roads. Ann D. cautions about Mirabel RV Park & Campground: "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."

Tips for camping with families

Playground access: Some parks offer dedicated play areas. River Bend Resort features "great Russian River wine country location... And campground overall is average, so long as you're on the outer rim," according to Beverly W., who also notes there are several playgrounds for children.

Swimming areas for children: Parks with gradual water entry points are ideal. H L. points out that River Bend has a "private beach [that] is great for kids (and adults). Easy swimming without a strong current. Lots of shallows but a deep swimming hole are for adults too."

Recreation facilities: On-site entertainment options can keep children occupied. "The camp store is cute and there's a brewery next door if you want a meal out. There are several playgrounds which are fun for kids. And an arcade," notes H L.

Tips from RVers

Site selection strategy: Choose sites carefully based on specific needs. Derek & Alex W. advise about Thousand Trails Russian River: "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."

Leveling concerns: Some parks have challenging terrain. "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," warns Derek & Alex W.

Utility limitations: Several parks have restricted hookup options. As Jordan L. notes about Mirabel RV Park & Campground, "Each site has a table, fire pit, and even outlets which was a nice surprise. Tons of trees so every site has plenty of shade."
