    Absolutely beautiful coastal campground! This might just be the most beautiful place I've ever…read morecamped at! Not to mention, the drive up Highway 1 was breathtaking! On to the campground! My friends and I don't have any trailers or anything, so we just did regular car camping, which was totally fine. You can find a picnic table and fire pit with bbq grill at each regular car campsite. There are various porta potties throughout the campground, and I believe one shower area. Since the ocean is literally feet away, be prepared for sandy/dusty everything. And obviously, colder weather as well. Also, there's lots of coastal area to explore within the campground, and I saw people fishing off the cliffs and rocks as well! This campground closes during the winter, so I'll definitely try to visit again in the Spring!

    Arriving was tricky because it was late and dark. Luckily our other party members had already…read morearrived, so they met us at entrance. We tent camped and waking up to the sounds of crashing waves, smells of early risers cooking breakfast, emerging from my slumber to feast my eyes on the Pacific Ocean crashing against our California Coastline... ahhh ZEN We hiked, sort of. Just down to the tide pool area (or whatever ya call it), checking out rock formations. I found a couple of heart shaped rocks and even made a face from rocks. I called him "stoned"... Before we left come Sunday, I rocked a table. Meaning I painted a rock and left a piece of my inner peace to the finder (whomever it would be). Sincerely C.Wray

    My family used to camp here over 25 years ago so it was really nice to return with my grown…read morechildren & grandchildren. Just as beautiful as I remember. A few things to take into consideration before you go: there is no water, garbage cans (you pack out your own trash), you leave your car in parking lot and carry your gear in (wagons are super helpful), and no cell service. That being said it's pretty nice being off the grid for a few days. And really great for the kids to play in nature without electronics. All the sites are beautiful- some up a hill or across a creek bridge. I prefer not to carry my gear up a hill and have my tent on a flat space. You cannot reserve spots in advance- day of only. The campground also has the Pomo Canyon trail which leads to Shell Beach (maybe 5 miles of hiking). The grandkids were quite happy exploring the campground trails and creek. Campsites come with a picnic table & fire ring. There are a couple pit toilets in the campground (stinky of course). Yet this is a beautiful place- I'd say it's very peaceful & zen.

That was my thought when the girlfriend & I visited the Pomo Canyon Environmental Campground on a sunny Saturday afternoon. Nestled into the edge of a redwood grove, it's hard not to wonder because of how this place looks now that the campground is closed. It's been closed for a year now. Already the paths & the clearings for the camp sites are covered in a thick layer of detritus from the trees above. It's eerily silent. Like a ghost town without the town, only picnic tables, fire pits & a few outhouses. It felt like a glimpse into our post-Apocalyptic future. Who knows? Maybe the Mayans were right. Eh, probably my imagination getting the best of me. Anyway, even with the campground closed, there are still some nice, fern-lined trails that meander through the beautiful redwoods. Because the campground is closed, the gravel road leading to it is also closed. There's very limited parking back at the road & it's a short hike in. We explored the area a while in complete solitude & headed back for the car before it got dark. For a walk in the woods with absolutely no one else around, this is it. The Pomo Canyon Environmental Campground may be closed but it is, nonetheless, a good starting point for nice hikes in redwoods. It's also a place that may make you wonder what the world will be like without us.

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.

If my reserved campsite is available when I arrive, I'm good to go. Woodside did not fail me in any way, shape or form during my 2-night stay this summer. I made my reservations ahead of time on ReserveCalifornia.com, but if you show up out of the blue the rangers put in the meticulous effort every day of marking which sites have no-shows or cancellations, allowing you to essentially walk right into a premium summer camping location. My site had a placard with my name and date range on it, a little detail of service I completely love. Showing up after 5 pm was nbd, because our place was saved. $80 very well spent. At site 41, we were a short walk to the restroom, but had a water spigot and small, clean trash cans right next to the site. For convenience, we often used the restroom while we were coming and going to Stewarts Point Store for breakfast or the beach for hiking. No problemo. No showers at Woodside, yay to a washcloth and soap to clean up after a long day of hiking. In the campground we saw bats, chipmunks, baby deer (with white spots still on their fur), woodpeckers, jays, and all sorts of other birds. Gratefully, no mosquitoes in mid-July. We loved sliding into nighttime with a campfire. If you haven't camped in Salt Point, you're in for a treat. The area has an interesting history and the bluff trails have to be experienced firsthand. Your reservation includes Day Use fees for all areas of the park, including Gerstle Cove and the Salt Point Bluff trails. Make a reservation and get out there!

    Our original campsite was for Gerstle Cove, but due to a water pipe leak and tree maintenance, we…read morewere notified we'd be relocated to Woodside one week before our trip. I get it. $hit happens. No one told us for sure, but we guessed the water was not drinkable due to the water leak? Some advance notice of this would have been appreciated. The site and facilities were not in the best shape. We stayed at site 46. My bf found empty canned food tins in the brush, and the unisex bathrooms were gross. Thankfully, I was only in there to wash my hands because we ran out of water in the camper. Also to note: No hookups, no shower facilities or dump station. For $35/night plus a $7.99 reservation fee, this was just sad.

The park backs up to some private residences along the bay road. So it was not exactly rustic and peaceful, but it was still a nice place to hang out for a few days. As long as you can tune out the foghorn, you'll be okay. If that kind of thing bothers you (it would have driven me crazy in my younger years), then you best be as far from the bay as you can get. The foghorn sounds every 10 seconds, fog or no fog, 24/7. Most of the campsites have plenty of room, but some are better and more spacious than others. You can hike the dune trail from the campground (no dogs allowed, but watch for horses). We drove to the parking lot at the beach area, and walked down to the beach. It seemed nice, but it was windy and a bit rainy, so I didn't spend much time checking it out. Besides, I'm more interested in dog-friendly beaches. I'm sure that the campground has a totally different feel during the summer months, but in March, there was not much activity. We were one of the few campers in our campground loop, so very low key. Bathrooms and showers were clean. Tokens are needed for the shower. The token machine accepts dollar bills. Special Notes: No dogs allowed on the trails or on the beach. Motorhomes are limited to 31 feet. There is an RV water filling and dump station. As for the dune trails, I thought I could hike to the beach from the campground. But I hiked the trail to the road, crossed the road, and then the trail branched off onto several different pathways, all which ended abruptly. So I don't recommend it, at least not in March. May be a bit different in summer. Overall, this state park is a decent home base for exploring Bodega Bay and the Sonoma Coast.

That's just silly. 'Murica!!! But people do that and I'm not concerned with it. It's location, location, location here. If you aren't in your motorized shell, the ocean can be heard at night and cool breezes can be felt. Or shack up in your tin can on wheels and "enjoy!" Really, it's a short drive from the bay, or even from the greater Sacramento area so sure, bring it all! Leave the oppressive heat and wear pants for a change. Bring shoes and maybe take a hike...leave the extra car at home. Maybe bring some food items with you. The stores are expensive and have great seafood but they aren't meant to supply for longer stays.

Being…read morehere is magical, especially when you think the thousands of years the trees have been here. If only they could share their stories. The visitor center is quite helpful in suggesting various hikes, especially when you give them the distance and elevation that you are interested in. They also give you a paper map as often there's no signal in this park for Wi-Fi. Unfortunately, the trail to the waterfall was closed and hopefully will be open upon our return. The hike we did today was a little over 5 miles with about 750 feet of climbing. We were happy we brought snacks! My only comment would be that the signage was not sufficient. I know that mostly volunteers make up the staff and perhaps it's not a priority yet we managed to find our way back without too many problems.

It is near the Russian River just outside of Guerneville. Redwood vibes similar to some parts of the Santa Cruz range or Marin Hills, but nothing that compares to the big redwoods in Northern California like near Humbolt Co or Crescent City, those are next level. There's a fee to park inside the park. Think it was about $10. It gets busy during the weekends and spaces can be super limited if you come after 11am. We were with a toddler, so we stayed on the main flat trails that go through redwood groves. It is very shady and well trafficked trails. There are a few loops you can join together, and the circumference may be a 2-3 mile hike. But you can do however long you want it to be. Now the trails that elevate into the hills are much more involved. It can elevate to a 1300 foot gain which is pretty strenuous. I haven't tried those yet but it is on my list to try. But even the easy trails that one day, was still beautiful and relaxing. To majestic red bark trees with healthy ferns all on the ground cover, fallen trees to climb on, large rocks to hop on was just a nice jaunt especially with young kids. We brought a light lunch and refreshments and were able to run into a small area with picnic benches. Perfect way to end a few hours steeped in nature, without having to be totally in the wild. Great intro for those that aren't too versed (yet) and to get them exposed to nature, ecosystems and wildlife. Connect with the world amongst which you live with but rarely see. Weekend mission accomplished!
