    First time glamping and we loved it. We stayed in a Riverside Queen tent. I chose Riverside expecting the river to be visible but it's not. If we return, I wouldn't pay extra for riverside. The canvas tent was very nice (see picture). My only complaint is that there was a fist sized hole on one side and a big rip on the front zippered flap. Bathrooms and showers were nice and clean. I appreciated the dishwashing area. The walk down to the river is close, and there were additional showers right off the river entry for a quick rinse off. Not all tents have parking immediately behind/next to them, so you may want to check on that when you book if that's important to you. For those that don't have parking right behind/next to, it's a very short walk away. Saturday morning yoga was really nice. They also have a movie night (not sure about the schedule for that). Next time, I'd want to try out one of their cabins (they were sold out for our dates).

    We had an amazing glamping experience here. The facility is clean and feels safe for us with young kids. Our tent was ready during checking in at 4PM. We parked our car right at the back of the tent. The queen bed suited us for 2 adults & 1 young kid. There's a picnic table & fire pit if you want to have meal right in front the tent. We went during summer but the night was pretty cold. Even after turning on the heated pad and bundled in the cozy duvet, I had to wear hoodie on top of my PJ. The bathrooms were clean. Even when I went at 2AM to use it, it was well lit (but you do need to bring flashlight to walk there). The shower rooms are clean and the water pressure was good. It has shampoo, conditioner, and body wash inside. There is a communal gas BBQ and picnic tables near the shower area. You just need to bring utensils & food for your meal. There are washing stations with sponges & dish soap too. The Russian River is right in front of the property with various small 'beaches' along the riverbanks. However, do be careful of the current as it can be pretty strong. Life jacket is highly recommended for younger kids. You can rent inner tube at the store for $25/day. The store opens at 8am-7pm with complimentary coffee, tea, and hot cocoa. They sell burritos, snacks, cup noodle, beverages, and wine. There are some seating area around the store to hang around & eat.

    Loved our stay at Wildhaven Sonoma! Such a cute and relaxing getaway right by the Russian River. We had so much fun floating during the day and ending the night with s'mores by the fire. The tents were cozy, the bathrooms were super clean, there was a heated mattress pad and the whole property was really well maintained. Such a fun glamping experience and I'd definitely recommend!

    Beautiful place . At first, I was skeptical because I saw some pictures in the reviews, but once we arrived and explored the place, we loved it!! My kids didn't want to leave so we are definitely going back soon but with more family members

    7/11-7/13 Our group of 10 or so came here to Sonoma Wildhaven. We had mixture stays of cabins and tents. We pretty much booked all the riverfront tents. The tents were nice. Cabins were also nice but didn't have private bathrooms but had A/C! Thankfully it wasn't too hot the weekend we went. The river access was really nice. Our kids had fun. The community showers and bathrooms need to be cleaned more frequently. Some bathrooms were out of toilet paper and the trash bins weren't empty timely. It was nice that they have barrels of trash throughout the property that was managed more frequently. There is complimentary coffee, tea and hot chocolate in the morning at the shop from 8-11. Parking is conveniently located next to your rental unit. It's pricey and you definitely pay for the convenience of being in Sonoma and being so close to some great wineries like Silver Oak. Friday night was nice where string lights were on til midnight. Saturday, those same lights were off early which was disappointing. Quiet time is at 10pm.

    We celebrated Valentine's Day with a glamping experience and loved it! The outdoor cooking area was clean, and we enjoyed BBQing right outside our tent. The bathrooms and showers were spotless, and the heated bed kept us warm and cozy all night. Such a unique and romantic getaway

    We have everything here: lights, electricity, WiFi, heated blankets underneath and a space heater

    This Wildhaven location was our first time experiencing glamping and it has sparked our "addiction" for glamping ever since ! This review is long overdue! We tried Wildhaven Sonoma last December during their Winter promotion. We got two wine tumblers, a bottle of wine and a kit of s'mores with our stay. The tumblers are of high quality and the wine was delicious! As we turned into Wildhaven, we loved how cute and quaint it was, nestling along the Russian River. Rows and rows of small cabin appeared before our eyes. There was an attendant at the gate who would quickly check you in and gave you some instructions of where your cabin was located and where to park. Each cabin has its own parking so you can easily park and load your stuff inside. The cabin itself was so nice with spacious front deck which had a small coffee table and 2 chairs for your morning coffee enjoyment. There was a picnic table and a fire pit in the front yard. Walk a few steps up, open the zipped door and you'll enter a spacious cabin with 2 queen bed, 1 night stand and a coat rack. Though you may have to walk a bit to use the restroom and bathroom (yes you can take showers here!), the cabin has everything else that you need! Lights for you to read, electricity for you to charge your phone/ipad/laptop/electronic devices, heated blankets underneath your sheets (because it's winter time), and a space heater if the heated blanket were not enough for you! This Wildhaven is conveniently located within 10 minutes of driving to downtown Healdsburg where you can find all the delicious restaurants. Famous wineries are also within 15-20 of driving. We spent all our rainy day trying out different wineries and had a blast! They also have a lodge where you could buy last minute items such as ices, toothpaste, toothbrush. They have hot water for you to use. Around the ground, there are playgrounds which has corn holes and various other things. You also have private entrance to the Russian River. We quickly walked down but didn't spend much time there since it's winter time. But I can totally imagine how popular this river will be in the summer time. Overall, we had a blast! Thanks Wildhaven Sonoma for sparking our addiction for glamping

    so dusty and dirty.  Seems like they were never cleaned.

    very disappointing. only few bathroom stalls with extreme amount of people. The bathroom sink gets so crowded that you have to take turns and wait. Many things inside the tent had spider webs and dust everywhere. Worst thing is that it was 100 degrees when were there and we just could not stand being there without AC. The resort should have closed the tents at that temperature. We booked for 3 days but we decided to check out early and just let our money go into wast. It was no glamping. It was just beds in a tent. probably wont be back. Definitely was t worth the cost i which we paid over $300 per night.We told them we could not stay there otherwise would pass out because of extreme heat. They said they will not give us refunds. I never even mentioned refund?!?! They were just scared of losing money instead of caring for their customers. (barely any shades, the tents were getting direct sun light all days long )

    Russian River access

    Everything is so well done here. We stated for 3 days/2 nights, and it was exactly what we'd hoped for - quiet, full of beauty, and immeasurably relaxing. Just enough hardship to make it interesting, and all the facilities are in great shape. We also had one small-ish issue that they took seriously and helped us navigate. I'll be back for sure.

    A room with a view!

    Beautiful place to stay. Very dog friendly, lots of areas to walk along the river. Cabins are nice and very clean and cozy. Nice little store with Coffee and tea in the morning. The staff is very accommodating. Best staff member is Debbie! Friendly and made me feel at home. Debbie is a sweetheart. The bathrooms were clean. There was shampoo, conditioner and body wash in the showers. We were happy to find bath towels in our cabin! Wonderful place to stay!

    Our tent

    Amazing place to relax!! Wish the cabins were further apart. Anyway to do that or decrease seeing humans would only add to the benefit and charm!

    Showers with shampoo and body wash.

    We usually reserve campsites at California State Parks on the reservecalifornia website, which I highly recommend and they have bathrooms/showers at most state parks, but we wanted to try glamping for the first time. The fact that we could pack lighter and the photos on the Wildhaven website really sold us. (Of course, the photos will always look better though). I purchased the early check-in option ($30) so we could arrive at 1 PM instead of 3 PM, but since check-in is fully contactless and no one is at the front desk, it makes you wonder... couldn't anyone just show up early? When we arrived, we were surprised by how close the tents are to one another. You can hear every conversation around you. The couple across from us brought their husky that barked at every passerby. We were just sitting on our porch when they pulled up, and their dog immediately started barking at us from the car. It continued to bark at us as the man brought the dog out and throughout the night at their neighbors around them. I felt bad for their neighbors. Then the couple started arguing at one point and you can hear them arguing. There was also another dog farther away that joined in, so at times, both dogs were barking back and forth, either at each other or maybe at strangers. We have two dogs ourselves and we love dogs but I could see that people bringing their reactive dog would eventually ruin the benefit of dogs being allowed here. To our right, another couple blasted their Netflix show at full volume and laughed obnoxiously loud like, full "HEE HEE HEE HEE! HAHAHA!!!". On top of that, the site sits right next to the freeway, so there's constant traffic noise. Altogether, it was far from peaceful. The next morning, we went to the storefront for the complimentary coffee and hot chocolate. The setup was cute and well-done. My husband had an injury, so I went on a quiet morning walk to the river around 8 AM. It started off lovely, until I saw two full boxes of empty Modelo bottles dumped near the water, more bottles scattered around, and even a used diaper hanging from a tree. There was graffiti on the wall and a "Litter = No Access" sign right in front of the mess. It really ruined the experience and grossed me the hell out. The amount of trash made it clear that the area hadn't been cleaned in a while. As I made my way back to my tent, out of nowhere, this German shepherd tied outside someone's converted school bus lunges at me and barks aggressively. It felt like one of those movies where the guy is breaking in someone's house and there's a jump scare of a guard dog trying to attack the guy. I felt like I was trespassing someone's property. I don't know what a mobile school bus is doing there but it's probably one of the staff that lives there. It didn't feel safe or appropriate for guests to walk by. To be fair, the tents themselves are comfortable and well equipped with outlets, Wi-Fi, a heater, and storage space. (Keep in mind that the WiFi inside the tent isn't great.) The on-site amenities are well maintained. The staff clearly works hard to keep the bathrooms and shared areas spotless, because you'd see them constantly cleaning, which I appreciate. However, the area around the river really need more attention. If you're looking for a peaceful, nature-filled experience, this isn't the place. Between the barking dogs, loud guests, freeway noise, and trash by the river, it felt more chaotic than relaxing. I can't say I ever felt a sense of calm during our stay at Wildhaven. TL;DR: Beautiful setup and clean bathrooms, but reactive barking dogs, loud neighbors, traffic noise, and trash by the river made it hard to relax. Definitely not the peaceful, nature-filled stay we expected.

    This was my third stay at wildhaven in three years. I live in Santa Rosa which is nice because they offer a local's discount! Overall this place is very well kept. Restrooms/ showers are clean . Nice hot showers. I enjoy cooking on the open fire pit, but for those who'd rather use the propane grill there's four of them and they also keep that well cleaned. Very nice place for a quick getaway and just chill.

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.

    SCW and I visited Armstrong Redwoods State Natural Park one day while staying nearby. I'd use…read morecaution when using a driving app to get here as we were led along a very narrow road through a local residential area with no room and switchbacks galore. Suffice it to say we saw a few locals along the way that seemed perplexed why we were driving very slowly through their neighborhood. I think that had to do with a bridge closure. Anyways... The return was not the same route thankfully. The park has for pay parking areas and what seemed to be free parking along the road to the park at your own risk. We found a spot in the paid lot ($10). Get a receipt, put it on your car's dashboard and off you go. There's a small welcome center and info at the entrance as well. The Redwoods are incredible here, some alive for 1400 plus years. You simply can't see the tops of the Redwoods from the ground. Truly incredible. The trails are well marked and it's highly discouraged to get off the trails as the environment is very ecologically sensitive. Unfortunately we saw some disregard for that. Stay on the trails people! You'll find placards noting interesting names and places along the way in addition to information about the flora and fauna. The history of the park and previous residents from indigenous peoples to the parks name sake are along the trail. It's an incredible park to visit and appreciate nature. The redwoods are incredible and certainly worth a visit.

    Wow! What can I say that will convince you to come visit the splendor at Armstrong? We walked…read more Hiked. And drove our vehicle up a tiny one lane hillside road to the top for a spectacular view of the whole area. It was beyond words! The park was immaculately clean. Everyone was kind and polite. The air was so fresh. I hope to return soon.

I love coming here to enjoy the walking trails, gorgeous views, and the relaxing atmosphere. It's a great place to take a leisurely walk, kayak on the water, have a picnic in the beautiful shaded areas, or simply spend time enjoying nature. The park is especially lovely with the water, trees, and open spaces, and it's a wonderful place to slow down and escape the fast pace of everyday life. It's also a great spot for families, and there's plenty of space to explore and enjoy. We're so lucky to have amazing outdoor spaces like this in our area. Riverfront Regional Park is definitely one of those places I'm always happy to visit and would recommend to anyone looking for a peaceful and scenic outing

Where the water and trees welcome you with serenity. Come walk the dog, ride your horse, bring your kayak, bring your fishing pole, bring a blanket, have a BBQ in the group picnic area and more. A safe place for children but please always watch them around any body of water. Just on the outskirts of Santa Rosa, Riverfront welcomes you with all of its glory. The trails around the lake a extra wide and flat. Easy for a wheelchair to go round. This is one of my regular spots to escape and intake the beauty of nature. I highly recommend just buying a parking pass to support the parks. If you visit a regional park once a month, it pays for itself.

    I feel like I shouldn't review this for fear the spot blows up but it is so very lovely. I've been…read morecoming here for years, it is unofficially "the secret spot" on Fitch Mt. in Healdsburg. There is enough room for about 7 cars in the parking lot off the road in addition to available roadside parking where allowable. This is in the neighborhood and NOT off the official regional park section of the woods. It is about 2.5 miles up Fitch Mt. from town and down a meandering trail that goes along behind some homes to the stretch of gravel beach that this beauty exists amongst. It is truly a hidden gem. I don't try to bring too much since you have a good .50-.75 mile trek down to the beach to set up camp for the day. Mostly sun exposed so plan accordingly. The water is the real treat here - it is like bath water so warm and inviting you won't want to leave! Not super shallow and definitely swimmable. It's a quiet and serene stretch of the Russian River that feels magical to get away so close to home.

We arrived just after…read moretwo other cars pulled into 2 of 3 vacant parking spaces and came to find these girls holding a parking space for their friends that were not there. We tried to find a place to park on the street, however it was too far to walk. About 15 minutes later we circled back and the girls were still standing in the parking space. This is when I took the photo. For those that don't know, it's a violation of Sonoma County Parks Rules to hold parking spaces. Please respect our parks and abide by the rules. This is so that we all can enjoy these wonderful public places.

    $475 a night I expected more. The vibes are nice and the staff is nice. It's woodsy and relaxing. I…read moream not a big on spending this much money for a hotel so as someone that counts every penny and this is the first time I've ever spent this much on a hotel I expected more. Idk how the rich people do it and my money could go so much further. After spending this much money I would rather own something on the block and have the rich people rent from my airbnb. In my humble opinion, it is not worth $500 a nice. I appreciate Hilton Honors for including this in their portfolio so I could get a taste of the hype. I would not come back again even to one of the more enticing locations. This was once in a lifetime and it is underwhelming. If you come as a diamond member you receive 2 waters a day, a s'mores kit, firewood and skewers. Nice free perk because we came here on an impromptu adventure and didn't plan ahead. Dog friendly property for $75 per a dog. Dog poop bags everywhere on the premise and you get a welcome bowl and blanket. You do not get it if you bring a service animal. Not sure if that is fair and is life fair?!

    Overall I'd say we had an okay stay. The property is beautiful and well kept, the main building is…read morevery nice, and it's very close to the the little downtown and the river. There are some really good restaurants nearby and also a Safeway just down the road. Our unit - #9 - had a bathroom sliding barn door for the bathroom that was hard to slide open and closed. We had to shove it open, then shove to the side to get it opened enough for us to pass through. On our second night the A/C unit was dripping water/condensation onto us and the floor (photo will be included). It wasn't a lot of water, once I wiped it away it didn't do it again. On the second day I also discovered that the mini-fridge had water at the base of the inside so some of the groceries I bought were wet. In the kitchen area, the cabinets were sticky and the trash under the sink was still there from the last people who stayed there. The bathroom door that was not sliding well at all was the most annoying part. Overall none of these things are that bad, but for the price that they charge I expect more - especially with so many minor issues piled up. Most of these things we didn't realize until after we had everything in the unit and were settled, so requesting to move would have been a hassle too. The good is that the bedroom was nice - storage was good, the bed was comfy and clean and overall the space felt nice. I will suggest if you're in a premium Airstream and will have more than two people - for example, kids or a third or fourth adult - sleeping on the sofa, I'd suggest bringing a sleeping bag for them to sleep on/in. They supply a flat sheet, pillow and blanket, but nothing to wrap the sofa/futon in. Mine is not the popular opinion here, but this is a one and done experience with AutoCamp given what we got out of the price that we paid.
