We recently came for our second RV trip here this past week and loved it as much as the first time…read more For our first time, we stayed at 60E for dry camping. It was nicely located with good shade during peak heat hours. No matter where you stay, the river is walking accessible and there is day parking if you need to transport bigger things like your canopy and water toys, etc. This time around, we chose to stay at E since our trip was longer and we wanted the full hookups and have a fenced area for our dogs. It's a great site if you have kids since it is right across from a playground. Since E wasn't available for our whole trip, we moved over to a standard RV site (water, electric, no sewage) for our last night. We were originally assigned A but staff were super helpful and flexible in allowing us to change to C1 which had better shade for the 92 degree forecast of the day. We also set up a tent for the evening and slept under the stars. It was perfect! Our in-laws also came for part of the trip and stayed in a cute cottage (beds only). Casini is awesome because there are so many different options for lodging that you can definitely find what works best for you and your family. The river is so refreshing on a hot day. Keep in mind the floor is gravelly/pebbly, so I would recommend water shoes for the best comfort. They also have golf carts and other water play things to rent. The general store is stocked very well so if you forget something, it's highly likely to be available there. They also have events scheduled through the week. Not sure if it changes, but I noticed Tuesday was pretty full of events - ice cream social, tractor ride, and movie night.

Casini Ranch Family Campground is a very clean, well-maintained campground with plenty of…read moreactivities for families, and the Russian River is just a short walk away. We stayed in an RV site and had an enjoyable time overall. One thing to note is that pricing trends on the higher side, especially if you have more than the standard four people in your group. However, there are several convenient amenities available, including on-site propane fills, firewood delivery, and four EV charging stations. The EV chargers were particularly convenient and cost about $30 for an 8-hour charging session. The campground does an excellent job creating activities for younger children. Between the jump pad, animals to feed, movie nights, ice cream socials, river access, basketball courts, and open spaces to play, it's easy to see why families come here in big numbers. Teenagers may find there are fewer activities specifically geared toward their age group, but there is still plenty to keep them occupied. My two teenage children had never kayaked before, and renting kayaks on the Russian River ended up being one of the highlights of our trip. The shower and restroom facilities were also very clean and well-maintained. We only used the shower facility near the beach access area, but it was in excellent condition. Showers are coin-operated and cost four quarters for six minutes, with each additional quarter adding 1.5 minutes of shower time. The general store was well-stocked with camping essentials, and the staff we interacted with were friendly and helpful. One thing I appreciated was the variety of camping options available. Whether you're looking for a simple tent site, a full-hookup RV site, a group area, or a more upgraded setup with amenities like gazebos and BBQs, there seems to be something for just about every style of camper and budget. Our site had full hookups, and everything worked as expected. For those staying in sites without sewer connections, there are convenient dump stations on the property. River access is one of the campground's strongest features. Getting down to the Russian River is easy, and the shoreline has a very gradual, shallow entry that makes it especially appealing for families with younger children. As always, parents should supervise their kids around water, but there is plenty of room for children to play and explore safely. AT&T cell service was excellent throughout our stay. The campground also offers free Wi-Fi, although we never needed to use it. This is definitely a family-oriented campground. Thursday night was peaceful, quiet, and relaxing. Once the weekend crowd arrived on Friday, the atmosphere became much more active. One thing future visitors should be aware of is the large number of children riding bikes and moving throughout the campground. Drivers and pedestrians alike should stay alert, as kids frequently dart across roads and campsites. We also found that quiet hours were not enforced as strictly as advertised. Beginning around 6:30 a.m. on Saturday, groups of children were already riding bikes and making enough noise to wake nearby campers. Sunday morning was somewhat better--perhaps everyone was a little more tired after a busy weekend--but it was still noticeably louder than what we expected during posted quiet hours. Overall, Casini Ranch knows exactly what it is: a family campground. If you're looking for a quiet, adults-focused camping experience, a busy summer weekend may not be the best fit. If you're bringing children and want easy river access, clean facilities, plenty of activities, and a campground that caters to families, it's easy to see why so many people return year after year. Despite a few frustrations with early morning noise, we had a great stay and would happily come back. I would still rate it 5 out of 5 stars.

The showers and restrooms are very clean. The resort is very much geared towards families and children. There are tons of activities for kids; basketball, table tennis, a playground, a tree house, arcade games, air hockey, etc. They also have special events for kids like movie nights, arts and crafts, pony rides, and karaoke. The resort also has private beach access. You can swim and play in the river if you want, or just relax on the shore. We stayed in one of the cabins. It had a queen size bed, nightstand, lamp, chair, dresser, and a couple small stools. There is electricity and outlets. Water, restrooms, and showers are nearby. If you stay in a cabin, I HIGHLY recommend Fish Camp #6; it's the best cabin on the entire property. It's in a quiet corner, there's no neighbors on one side and the best part is you have a STUNNING view of vineyards.

This is one of my favorite campgrounds I've ever been to!!! Kelly and Mikal treat their guests like family. From the first time I called Kelly was so kind and helpful. I have been numerous times now and it feels like going to a little slice of heaven each time. It's clean, beautiful, quiet, and they live on site so if there's an issue they are there to help! The sites are spread out and spacious so you won't have someone right on top of you. The sites are kept up so nicely and the campground itself is simply gorgeous. The bathrooms are clean, there are several free showers, and there is firewood for sale as well. The town of Guerneville itself is only five minutes away, and there are tons of cute little shops as well as a major grocery store. There are darling little art galleries, clothing stores, bakeries, ice cream shops, coffee shops, etc. The ocean is only a 25 minute drive down the road. There are endless little beaches to stop at, as well as numerous little beachside towns with restaurants and coffee shops. You can spend a whole day exploring highway 1, then head back to your campsite to relax. I feel so lucky to only live 3 hours away and be able to head there any time I want. I'm so grateful to Kelly and Mikal for being so accommodating and kind.

More like jail than camping -- families beware…read more This RV park is absolutely not family-friendly. Families and groups of friends are not welcome -- even normal conversation outside "quiet hours" can get you kicked out. My family arrived at 9pm, set up quietly, and went to bed. I was two sites away from friends who were simply talking, and I couldn't hear a thing. Still, management evicted our entire group -- 9 campsites in total. By morning, a sheriff was outside our trailer. To his credit, he was calm, professional, and quickly saw we were just working professionals with kids. He even helped us find a friendlier campground that had a far better view of the water. Meanwhile, this park hands out a bizarre two-page "sin list" that literally calls children a "deadly sin." Bottom line: This place feels more like jail than a campground. Unless you plan on absolute silence, you risk being thrown out. Stay at one of the nearby RV parks -- they're friendlier and offer better views.

The drinks were crafted deliciously and very reasonably priced. We had the decaf cappuccino, lemonade and cold chocolate milk which had a nice syrup drizzle inside the cup! We also stopped by the market and deli. We did not buy any deli items but we did get some sundries and snacks. Inside the store it was super clean and well organized. Pricing was fair too. If you are looking for a specific item or brand this might not be the place but if you forgot something they def have it! Lastly we just stopped by the bbq restaurant. It's just bar food. Lots of fried items like, onion rings, French fries, etc. cheap but good. Chicken wings were the biggest hit and the nachos!

It was a pleasant experience from the moment we met met our camp host, John, to the time he waved us goodbye a couple of days later. He was so helpful when we needed a little help backing into our spot and when we had trouble unhitching our Airstream. Our site was farthest away from the road next to the empty field so it was fairly quiet. The restrooms and shower facilities are new, spotless, and well-maintained (thank you - I am very particular and fussy). The site is across the beautiful marina, and a picturesque walk a block away to our favorite brewery in HMB and of course Barbara's Fish Trap. As a petite woman, I felt safe walking alone in the middle of the night to the restrooms or taking the dogs out for a potty break. It's also dog-friendly - there's an large/long area off to the side with plenty of space for them to sniff and a couple of conveniently spaced dog poop bag stations.
