We’ve been camping here for 10 years now. Always 4+ campsites for 4-5 days around July 4th weekend (reserve at least 6months out) to start our year off. And at least once a month thru Sept/Oct. So far It’s been a fantastic place for our families to meet and have fun together. Water is really nice!! Showers and laundry areas are cleaned daily. Rangers drive around to check on people. Boats have access to beaches hidden down a narrow river like area. Very beautiful!! An prices are very reasonable! However, this year has been very disappointing. The beaches are cluttered with tons of glass an garbage. Mostly bc the low water is exposing more. No one answers the phones at the gate. If you need a ranger after 10p GOOD LUCK! We decided to find an app to explore our options.
This was a place my dad took me every year! Lots of great memories were made! Snipe hunting in the dunes, crabbing from the dock…Even as a younger adult(20-25) I made great memories introducing my friends to this great camping spot by the beach. Recently, taking my family, was a huge disappointment! After getting my kids super excited with all my past experiences, I really felt I let them down. At least we still had Bodega Bay to fall back on. Warm, fresh clam chowder bowls at the Bodega Bay restaurant/snack shack (main strip) and Doran Beach jetty…thank you!! As for Lawsons Landing-We WILL NOT be returning or sending donations EVER AGAIN.
