Sugarloaf Ridge State Park Campground

Always tough to get a reservation, but it never disappoints if you can get one

Celebrated our daughter's birthday here. Site #39. Campsite is clean and well maitained. Restrooms are clean. Showers are clean and tidy and warm. Wifi is available at the visitors center if needed. Hiking trails are available nearby. Overall an enjoyable peacful stay.

We camp here as often as we can. It’s a lovely campsite with most sites being under tree canopies, with a large meadow in the center, which is great for frisbee, or other games. The campsite is only a few minutes from Kenwood and many many wineries, but feels more remote than it is.

There’s great hiking, an observatory, and often nature events throughout the summer (docent led hikes for example). The volunteers who run the place do a fantastic job with everything, from keeping the site clean, to providing tons of info for budding naturalists.

The downsides are that it’s often booked in the summer months, and rattlesnakes on trails are not uncommon. There is also no cell coverage for any of the major providers, but free (slow) Wi-Fi covers half the camp, and premium Wi-Fi is available to purchase.
