The camp grounds are very beautiful and right on the lake. It really doesn’t get more beautiful for a drive up camp site. Down side is the sites are super close together. We brought the kids with us and they played all day we did find a rattlesnake in our site but relocated it and went about our day. The toilets are foul and covered in flys so be prepared for that. But all in all i would go back time and time again
We just stayed here for 2 nights, great location very close to Calistoga and not to far from Saint Helena! Next time i would love to try out a cabin or yurt. Cons are lots of poison oak and lots and lots of wasps! Bring a trap and be prepared to constantly tell the kids to stay away from the bushes. Great creek near by (we spent most of our time stacking rocks) and great hiking trails i believe it’s a 5 mile loop up ritchy creek. Very cool to see hundreds of frogs everywhere at night. Overall had a great time. Pool was awesome, staff was friendly, facilities were clean! Wood was overpriced but hey that’s the Napa Valley for you!
My wife son and i drove up with no reservations because we wanted to just do one night. Luckily Chris and his wife had multiple sites open for us to choose from. My brother was meeting us out there and both him and i are hammock campers so we chose site 7D it was a massive site and plenty of trees to hang from and a nice large flat area for the tent. The grounds are very beautiful and give you everything you need. They have a adults only area with a few really nice sites for those who don’t want to hear the kids playing. And the family section is very fun and all the guests were friendly. The showers and restrooms were well kept and a big plus! It’s 25cents a minute for a hot water shower but so worth it after playing in the river all day. They own a large beach across the road and is only open to schoolhouse guests so it’s not to crowded and all familiar faces. Chris had books for the kids to read at the check in and stacks of fire wood $7 a bundle if you forgot to bring your own. We will definitely be back
