2 campgrounds with availability this weekend
Rustic cabin rentals near Strawberry, California range from basic wooden structures to modern furnished accommodations. Steep Ravine Campground at Mount Tamalpais State Park features oceanfront cabins with wood-burning stoves, built-in tables, and separate bedrooms. Samuel P. Taylor State Park offers cabin options with electricity, outlets, and heating systems. According to one visitor, "These cabins are well worth the cost. There is a separate bedroom, you could sleep 2 couples on beds easily with extra floor space and a small individual bunk for larger families." Most cabins include fire rings and picnic tables for outdoor meals, while indoor amenities vary significantly by location.
Reservation requirements vary widely across cabin properties, with some requiring bookings up to six months in advance. Mount Tamalpais State Park's cabins are notoriously difficult to secure, requiring visitors to be ready at exactly the reservation window opening. KOA-style cabins at San Francisco North-Petaluma KOA provide more accessible booking options with full amenities. A camper noted, "This KOA is pretty big with plenty of options... Like most KOAs, you can also tent camp or rent cabins." Pet policies differ between locations - Olema Campground and Casini Ranch Family Campground welcome pets in their cabins, while Steep Ravine Campground prohibits pets entirely.
Most furnished cabins include bed frames but require visitors to bring their own bedding, pillows, and blankets. Cooking facilities range from simple outdoor fire pits to fully equipped kitchens depending on the property. Porto Bodega Marina & RV Park cabins offer more amenities with proximity to restaurants and seafood markets. Guests should plan to bring lighting solutions for properties without electricity, as one visitor mentioned: "No electricity but the wood burning stove provides some light. Bring candles and lanterns and some fabric for curtains for privacy." Camp stores at locations like San Francisco North-Petaluma KOA stock basic supplies, though most cabin campers bring essentials from home.
"Site had a fire ring, picnic table, and a stone grill. The grounds had running water, flush toilets and quarter showers. Camped here at night and explored point reyes during the day."

"My site had plenty of shade, fire pit, picnic table, and water nearby."
"Small store, full hookups in places (will bring our trailer back), tables, fire rings. Not much privacy but at least this weekend it was quiet (except for our group 🤣)"
"Like most (if not all) KOAs, you can also tent camp or tent cabins. Good size dog park for the pets to run and be free, as well as plenty of fun activities to entertain the kiddos."
"A nice KOA close to Petaluma with great facilities. We took advantage of doing some laundry and having a hot shower."
"A ton of great hiking and horseback riding trails. Literally 5 mins outside of the town of Napa. Ate at an amazing Brazilian Steakhouse and came to camp in just a short drive."
"Super easy access and safe, in the city so close to wineries, restaurants and shops. We were here as a stop in our road trip so it was a perfect stay. They provide WiFi and hot shower."
"Bathrooms are clean. laundry room very large and has many washers and dryers. Subway close walk, MUNI is at the park entrance. A gas station and Grocery store are both across the street."
"Water fountains/spigots relatively easy to find near most campsites. Bathhouse is next to site 10, operates with quarters."
"We set up our tent towards the back of the site closest to the creek because it was more private. The only concern was that there was a slight downward slope."

GuideI enjoyed my two night stay here, the location is great right on the water.
Campsites are very close together and the Bodega Bay foghorn goes off every 10 seconds 24/7 and that got annoying.
Great for Starlink
TravelerHad 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
GuideWe 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.
GuidePopped in and only a few campers there. A bridge away from towns. Hot showers. Squirrels galore. Ill be back.
GuideIt'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.
ScoutWe don't have kids, but this is a great place with a petting zoo, pool and hayride.
GuideThis campground is okay (3.5/5 stars) - the sites are close together and it seems to be very popular spot with a lot of families. Our section was fairly quiet but other areas were quite loud.
The campground is dog friendly and dogs are allowed on the paved roads. The bathrooms were pretty nice and the showers had hot water. You need to purchase a token for $1 from the park ranger when checking in and that will get you 5 minutes of hot water.
We stayed at site 49 and couldn't figure out where other folks put their tents. There was a slightly elevated area in the back left site of the campsite but it didn't look used, was on a slight hill, and looked directly into the campsite next to us so we opted to put our tent on the flat area right by the driveway.
GuideThe location is great since you’re close to st Helena and Calistoga. The road is narrow and the spots are tricky to back into. It was our first time with out 20ft trailer and we struggled a bit, took us three tries we kept having to drive around the loop of the campground. Lots of poison oak. Dog friendly on the paved road/path. We didn’t use the pool, but it’s open 1-5pm and it’s spring fed. Lots of kids, definitely kid friendly since it’s so small!
Cabin rentals near Strawberry, California are mainly concentrated in the Sonoma and Napa valleys, with several properties offering year-round accommodations. The region sits at the convergence of coastal fog and inland heat, creating distinct microclimates that affect camping conditions throughout the seasons. Winter cabin stays often require extra blankets as temperatures can drop to the low 40s overnight, even when days reach the 60s.
Explore nearby beaches: Visitors staying at cabins near Bodega Bay can access several coastal attractions. "We only stayed here one night. Beautiful spot nestled in trees. We stayed in an RV Bay with Power Hookup. Clean toilets and bathrooms. The showers were hot and had decent water pressure," notes a guest at Olema Campground.
Visit local wineries: Many cabin accommodations are within 15-30 minutes of renowned vineyards. "This is a nice campground close to Petaluma with great facilities. We took advantage of doing some laundry and having a hot shower. This KOA also offered all sorts of amenities for families including a small petting zoo, a pool, playground areas, and more," reports a camper at San Francisco North-Petaluma KOA.
Hiking trails: The region offers numerous hiking options from beginner to advanced. "The win on this campground is how close it is to Point Reyes National Seashore, San Rafael, Olema, Novato and Marshall. I would highly recommend Five Brooks Ranch in Olema for horseback riding, Hog Island in Marshall and Cowgirl Creamery in Point Reyes Station," shares a visitor to Samuel P. Taylor State Park.
Coastal cabin views: Waterfront cabins provide direct access to marine wildlife viewing. "This place was great full hook up W,E,S,C you get a fire pit and a picnic table, 3 minute walk to restaurant and deli, public restroom is clean every morning and garbage gets emptied. Amazing views," according to a guest at Porto Bodega Marina & RV Park.
Proximity to San Francisco: Many cabin locations offer quick access to city attractions while maintaining a rural feel. "We nestled our Sprinter between two large pine trees and took the dog for a walk. Then headed down the road for our first dinner indoors since February! It was excellent and the cocktails and desserts were excellent too. The next morning we hit the little store at Due West before our hike for coffee and pastries," recounts an Olema Campground visitor.
Seasonal activities: The area's cabin offerings change with the seasons. "This is a campground that checks a LOT of boxes. One thing to note, the night is COLD up this way, and mere miles will cover several different weather systems. Bring layers," advises a Samuel P. Taylor State Park camper.
Reservation challenges: Many cabin properties require advance planning. "Been lucky enough to score one of these cabins twice by checking in every so often to see if someone cancelled a reservation. Wood burning fireplace (you can buy wood on site) keeps the cabin warm. Smoke detectors work too!" reports a visitor to Steep Ravine Campground.
Cabin conditions: Accommodations vary widely in comfort level and amenities. "This campground is nice with newer bathrooms and shower facilities, but it's also very open and exposed. Great access to Spring Lake's water-based activities and hiking trails, plus easy access to Trione-Annadel State Park for hiking and mountain biking," notes a guest at Spring Lake Regional Park.
Wildlife encounters: Many cabin areas have active wildlife. "They have raccoons but don't tell you that, we didn't leave anything out but had muddy footprints all over our table in the morning! Their garbage cans are not raccoon proof so every morning there's garbage scattered around and someone comes and picks it all up," reports a Porto Bodega Marina visitor.
Kid-friendly activities: Several properties offer specific family programming. "Spent the weekend with family (10 kids, 6 adults) at Casini Ranch for a couple birthdays. Kids were busy the whole time, riding bikes and scooters, playing on the jump pillow, feeling the animals. Sites are HUGE! We had plenty of room for our trailer, tent, corn hole, and more," shares a visitor at Casini Ranch Family Campground.
Noise levels: Family-oriented properties may have different quiet hours. "It is very forgiving here and close to everything in case you didn't pack enough food or propane or fire starter. The camp host is amazing. The bathrooms are clean with free cold showers or quarters for hot showers. Neighbors were all polite and good about quiet times," notes a guest at Spring Lake Regional Park.
Safety considerations: Some properties offer better supervision for young children. "For families who want a quick trip over Golden Gate Bridge to introduce their children (or adults!) to the great outdoors, their first camp, nowhere is more convenient and instantly gratifying," writes a Samuel P. Taylor State Park visitor.
Hookup availability: Cabin properties often share facilities with RV sites. "We had a pull through FHU site. Pretty narrow. Seems like a common theme. Great things for kids to be entertained by and enjoy for sure. We were passing through and I think we would have been better served elsewhere," notes a San Francisco North-Petaluma KOA visitor.
Accessibility: Some cabin areas have challenging terrain for larger vehicles. "Level pad for camp trailers. Fire pits updated and bbq on every site. Site 49 is a nice site," observes a Samuel P. Taylor State Park camper.
Facilities quality: Bathroom and shower facilities vary significantly between properties. "Bathrooms are decent, not the cleanest, but well stocked and had hand soap. Coin operated showers were also a treat (again, not the cleanest, but...). Potable water close to sites. Raccoons, Chipmunks and Blue Jays were NOT SHY but also not a harrowing issue," reports another Samuel P. Taylor State Park visitor.
