    Middle Creek Campground

    Oh heaven or peaceful tranquility

    Middle creek campground was as close as we could find to free camping in Upper Lake CA. At the time of our visit 90% of the Mendocino National Forest was closed as a result of fires the past year as well as landslides due to rains.this is normally a ohv area but since all trails are closed it is quiet and peaceful.you can hear the creek running along the camp, as well as the wild turkeys . There must be over 15 different species of birds as well. Each campsite has a picnic table , fire pit as well as a bbq grill. They do have vault toilets and running water. It was $8.00 a nite but offered a discount with a America the beautiful pass

    North Fork Campground

    Campground away from the Interstate

    The North Fork campground is about 30 minutes off of Interstate 80 along a 1-2 lane paved road. The campground is next to the Truckee River but most sites do not have easy access to it.

    There are only three pit toilets since one of them is permanently damaged and has been for quite some time. There is no running water or access to any electricity.

    It is is a small to medium size campground which is a plus and it’s in the trees.

    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.

    Fuller Grove Group Campground

    Great memories

    I have been camping here for 20 years and have always had a great time. Camp sites are spaced out, so you're not on top of one another like some of the other sites around the lake. Also has a nice beach and direct access to the lake. Campground hosts change from year to year and have been good people. Since Lake Pillsbury is more secluded compared to Lake Mendocino, it tends to get a lot less traffic from campers (except around holidays). People who come are generally experienced campers or families on vacation and not 20-somethings looking to party. Noise normally isn't an issue, even when all the sites are full. Bring your own seat gaskets and toilet paper though. No seat gaskets are provided in the vault toilets, and the toilet paper is sometimes just 1-ply.

    Ritchey Creek Campground — Bothe-Napa Valley State Park

    Campground in the heart of wine country

    Small, cozy campground located in the heart of wine country. Site contains fire pit, picnic tables, and bear locker. Several prominent wineries located near by as well as a charming town called Calistoga. Sites and bathrooms were well maintained. Good option if you're doing Napa on a budget!

    On the Lake

    This place is clean. We were greeted by the camp host with a smile! Very friendly! She answered all our questions and showed us around. We feel in love with this place! 💕 You can fish right from your camp spot if you get a spot right on the water. Clean bathrooms, club house with games and a kitchen. Fire pits and BBQ's. Green grass in the BBQ area with a beautiful gazebo that has grapes growing on it! Felt very nice and cool since it was very hot in Aug. I highly recommend this place! 😉😎

    Lake Solano County Park

    Great campsite, loud road

    I loved staying here for one night and wish I could’ve been there for longer. The bathrooms are accessible, I had a beautiful spot by the water, my neighbors were friendly, the staff were welcoming. The only catch was that the road parallel to the lake is super loud and for me bothersome at night. I did not get good sleep because of this, i recommend bringing ear plugs if you are sensitive to noise and sleeping outside (i was in a tent). I don’t know how noisy it is for other spots farther away, but I would guess the sound still travels but is not as bad as having a spot along the water. Normal site are $30 per night, sites along the water are $40.

    The Aurora RV Park & Marina

    Ranger Review: Nature’s Coffee Kettle at The Aurora RV Park & Marina

    The Aurora RV Park & Marina is a work in progress. I can see what they want to make this campground into, but the reality of what it’s currently status is makes it difficult to stay there. I did get to try a couple of the different blends of Nature’s Coffee Kettle while I was there. Unfortunately I did have to cut my trip short as there was a mandatory evacuation order put into place due to wild fires.

    Campground Review

    First off this park is designed for RV use, but the owners have converted a few spaces for tent camping. During my visit I stayed in a tent. I booked the site through booking.com and paid $22.00 a night.

    The Good

    Each site has its own water sipget and two electrical outlets that work well. There was plenty of space at the site to setup two 4-person tents. The site is at the North end of Clearlake and you have some pretty spectacular views all day long. There is a beautiful public BBQ sitting area right next to the private beach. You can use the canoes, kayaks, or paddle boat all free of charge and they provide life jackets. There park does provide WiFi at no additional cost and it worked reasonably well. The mangers there are very friendly and approachable. They checked on me multiple times to make sure everything was okay.

    The Bad

    At the time of my visit the campground was undergoing renovations. The office area where the bathrooms/showers, laundry room, and community lounge were all at some stage of construction. THe bathrooms were clean, but only one shower and toilet worked. There was no mirror in the bathroom during my stay. I could not for the life of me get the shower to spray warm water at all so I had a week of cold showers, which wasn’t too bad given how hot it was. I did report this to the mangers, but the issue never got resolved. For tent camping the site were too close together and no picnic table was provided at the space I was at. If I had booked through AirB&B I would have been in a different area that had a picnic table.

    Product Review

    As a Ranger for The Dyrt, I get to test products in the field. At The Aurora RV Park & Marina, I tested two different blends of Nature’s Coffee Kettle. I tried the Colombian and Sumatra blend. Overall I would give this product a 4 out a 5 stars.

    What I liked about camping with the Nature’s Coffee Kettle:

    • Portable and easy to pack. It takes almost no space at all as it is completely flat when empty.
    • Easy to make. Boil water and pour into the kettle and wait. That’s it!
    • Easy to clean. Once you’ve had your coffee take out the coffee pod and dispose of it. Rinse out the kettle and your done.
    • The kettle is reusable! You can re-order new pods and keep using the kettle
    • Many different things you can brew. Currently they have variety of coffee blends and tea blends. They also have Hot Chocolate, but that comes in its own kettle.
    • Some of the best coffee I have had while camping. The coffee was really good! Way batter than my normal percolated stuff.

    THings to be aware of

    • You have to be really careful when pouting the boiling water into the kettle. It is easy to still some of that water on yourself (I did this).
    • The pouch is not insulated so if you want to drink hot/warm coffee you got to drink quickly.

Guide to Williams

Glamping in Williams, California offers varied terrain with the Clear Lake shoreline at 1,320 feet elevation to the north and oak-studded foothills to the east. The area experiences hot, dry summers reaching 90-100°F and mild winters with temperatures around 40-60°F. The region contains a mix of woodland, grassland, and riparian habitats that attract diverse wildlife and provide year-round camping opportunities.

What to do

Kayaking at North Fork Campground: This campsite sits along Stony Creek, providing water recreation away from larger crowds. "If you drive past all the OHV-filled camps, you'll eventually get to this little gem... you can hear the creek rushing, and the big groups are too far away to be bothersome," notes Jessi P. The limited shade means planning ahead for hot weather activities.

Wine tasting in Napa Valley: Ritchey Creek Campground serves as an affordable base for wine country exploration. "We have rented at this campground many times. Never had any trouble getting a reservation in spring or fall. Camping here leaves lots of money for food and wine splurges!" shares Susan H. A bike trail leads directly from the campground through vineyard landscapes into Calistoga.

Wildlife viewing at Clear Lake: The region's waterways attract diverse animal species, especially birds. "What a lovely peaceful campground right on Cache Creek. Lots of wildlife sightings across the creek in the state park reserve. Great birdwatching," notes Diane W. Early mornings and evenings typically provide the best opportunities for wildlife spotting.

What campers like

Peaceful waterfront sites: Sycamore Ranch RV Park offers tranquil water access with natural attractions. One camper reports, "The trees are amazing and there are about 2 miles of walking trails. The campground is along Dry Creek... We saw a river otter playing in the creek, so there is life in it." The park maintains grassy, paved sites with hookups even for tent campers.

Swimming opportunities: Lake of the Springs provides refreshing water recreation during hot summer months. "We had such a fun time at this campground... It was over 100 degrees the weekend we were there so we spent practically the whole weekend in the lake. It was the perfect temperature to sit in for hours. No motorized water craft kept it quiet," shares Nicole G.

Proximity to wineries: Bothe-Napa Valley State Park places visitors in the heart of wine country. "Great place to stay at when visiting the Napa wine valley that is halfway between St Helena and Calistoga, two nice tourist towns," notes Robert S. The park remains quieter on weekdays than weekends, offering a more relaxed wine country experience.

What you should know

Seasonal conditions matter: Many campgrounds in the region experience extreme temperature variations. At North Fork Campground, "There's limited shade & it's HOT so plan accordingly." Summer temperatures regularly exceed 90°F, while winter brings cooler weather and occasional rain.

Water levels fluctuate: Lake and creek access varies throughout the year. "In the Spring, the water level is much higher so the water line is closer to the campsites... In the fall, pre-winter, the water level is much lower. It was about a 50 yard walk down to the water from #116 camp site, which is a lake front site," shares Ed E. about Collins Lake Recreation Area.

Reservation requirements vary: Some parks have strict reservation policies. At Lake Solano County Park, a camper noted frustration: "An empty campground, tired family and the host can't let us take a space because we don't have a reservation two weeks prior." Check reservation requirements before arriving, especially during peak seasons.

Road noise affects some sites: Consider location when selecting sites. "The traffic noise was noticeable but not annoying," reports Cecil K. about lakefront camping. Another camper adds, "The only catch was that the road parallel to the lake is super loud and for me bothersome at night."

Tips for camping with families

Look for wildlife viewing opportunities: Families enjoy the abundant wildlife throughout the region. At The Aurora RV Park & Marina, "You can fish right from your camp spot if you get a spot right on the water... We saw an egret," notes a visitor. These natural encounters create lasting memories for children.

Consider glamping options for easier family stays: Upgraded accommodations reduce packing requirements. "This little campground RV park is very quaint and small... If a little effort could be applied, I think this place could be really fun to stay at with larger groups of families," says Bill M. about Clear Lake Campground. Several parks offer cabins, yurts, or canvas tents as alternatives to traditional camping.

Free recreational equipment adds value: Some properties include complimentary boat rentals. "They offer FREE canoe/paddle boating," mentions Melissa C. This reduces activity costs for families with multiple children and provides ready-made entertainment.

Tips from RVers

Access routes matter: The Parkway RV Resort offers convenient access for travelers. "Great place to stop along I5. Well cared for with nice pull through sites," reports one RVer. When heading to lakeside destinations, check road restrictions as some routes have vehicle length limitations.

Site selection impacts comfort: Choose sites based on shade, levelness, and hookup locations. "We were in site A10 which we found a little difficult to connect the sewer hose without two hoses," notes Denise G. Backing requirements vary by campground, with some offering easier pull-through options for larger rigs.

Electrical reliability varies: Some campgrounds experience utility issues. At Lake of the Springs, "There wasn't a single day when some campsite didn't have electrical issues, in fact they turned a lot of their RV sites into Tent Sites because of electrical issues," reports Eric P. Carrying backup power options proves useful at some locations.
