Thousand Trails Russian River

Sites are close. Some don’t even have area for chairs or picnic tables. It’s a membership campground which is surprising. Hopefully this is not the norm for other Thousand trails campgrounds.

This was a Great location in Sonoma county The campground itself is not the greatest it's very limited they do have a honey pot service but no sewer service. There's the Russian River and not much else to do but the surrounding area is fantastic you not far from San Francisco or Napa. There's no laundry room you have to go to a laundromat they have washer and dryers outside of the bathrooms but they're not very convenient

We absolutely love thousand trails and our membership this is not one of their best campgrounds however the staff was five star and so is the location so I gave it a three star. We chose to stay three months. No sewer but they do have a dumping station and a honey pot service for $35 so we took advantage of that

Nice sites. Older campground so facilities are old but clean and full functional. Of course I had to visit during a heat wave.

Coming into this Thousand Trails campground made us a little nervous at first. Coming off of the highway there are broken down campers and RV encampments along the road. None of it interfered with the campground itself though. Check-in was easy but the entrance is a bit tight for bigger rigs. 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. Drive extremely slow. Roads and turns are very narrow. 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.

Spaces are all 30 amp with no sewer hookups. Many spaces are very narrow/tight and uphill from your neighbor. The asphalt of many spots is crumbling along the edges and the dirt eroding away. If you have stairs that come out a ways they may just end at a cliff.

Facilities are all in desperate need of updates and in a state of disrepair. Bathroom walls were falling off. Laundry is outdoors which I found extremely odd.

All-in-all the park just seemed quite rough. There's really nothing to do in the area either. We stayed for 10 days which we felt was WAY too long.

Meh…

I had high hopes for this place, but overall, I’m unimpressed.

The good: Park staff is very responsive. Very close to the 101 with no highway nose.

The bad: No reservations. It is first come, first served. Poison Oak EVERYWHERE. No designated pet areas. Very tightly packed with no privacy. Hot with very little shade. Bathrooms are old, outdated, full of cobwebs and dirt. Low water pressure and n the showers.

THis place is clean abd has a general store that has pretty much anything you could need. Pitched a tent on the river- not many tents though this is more for rvs. Has horse shoes and other family games.

River near by, nice swimming hole in October if you were willing to walk over a lot of rocks. Not sure what the river would be like in spring. Nice play ground for kids. Some sites super crowded others have a little more room. Take your time finding the right spot for you. Staff okay. Little pricey and snobby.

Awesome spot. A little tight and on top of each other. Location to the river/ creek is great.
