Warning: this campground is 6 miles off the highway. You must travel on a very narrow, very winding, and very steep road, with many low hanging trees! You will be sorry if you take your big rig up here. I will not return. We camped here in a Motorhome.
It is 6 miles off main road up a very winding, narrow road with many low hanging branches. Some sites are very narrow with low hanging tress on some sites. It provides a beautiful view however it is located some distance to local attractions. It is difficult to find your Site especially if you arrive after dark. There is no cable TV and on most sites a satellite will not work. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This place is all about location. It's a pastoral setting with lots of trees and beautiful views of hills and vineyards. You can't beat it! Now, getting here is not for the faint of heart. The campground is 6 miles off and up from 101, most of which is on fairly narrow and winding roads with more than a few low hanging branches. Sites are nice, some shade, mostly level. And the staff is typical KOA cheery. We are very glad we enjoyed a beautiful weekend with a group. At full price, though, we're not sure we'll be back. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We love to camp here. There is so much to do for kids or grandkids. The pool is clean and the staff is very friendly. We have family in the area, so we camp here often. Some spaces are a bit dusty, and with all the kids it is a bit noisy at times. However, the restrooms are clean, the showers are clean, and it is way off the main highway so nighttime is very quiet. No railroad trains or freeways nearby as with many KOAs. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
We stayed here on the 4th of July weekend. It is a very nice park, far from any roads or cities, with a lot of things to do - especially for families with kids. There was even some live music on one evening. Our particular site was inconvenient, since we had to pull-in to be able to hook-up. But even then, the sewer was almost too far from our RV to hook-up. And we always had to walk around the RV to get to the pick nick table. Wi-Fi is available in the park (first hour free). During the weekend, the restrooms and showers were not clean (maybe this was only because it was the 4th of July weekend?). Overall, we found the park to be a little too expensive for what it offered. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Nice park for families. They have bike rentals, a fishing pond and a large swimming pool. They also have activities such as a band, movies or a clown making balloon animals at times. We have stayed here twice. The RV sites are not particularly nice. The ones in the back are crowded and are just dirt, not so flat, with water and electricity. The stargazing is great. We would come back for the family activities. The cabins are nice but quite expensive. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We found this park to be poor value for our dollar. It was too far off of the main road. The access road was rough and narrow for about three miles and no way to turn around with our towed. The sites were dirt only. Our site, and others we viewed, were not very level. WiFi was pay. No cable TV. Not a fair value for the services available. We would not return to this park. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Spent a long weekend here in August. In the winter it's about a 3 mile drive off Hwy. 101,
but thanks to the installation of a summer only bridge, it cuts that distance in half. Upon arrival, the staff was very friendly and helpful. The hookups at our site (#18)were a bit awkward to get to as they were positioned to rear of the unlevel dirt pad. A rig longer than 25' may have had trouble reaching the sewer connection without an extention. Our site was shaded as were most. Most sites had fire pits and/or grills. If your interested in either one of these, I'd make that clear when you make your reservation. Their General Store had plenty of food stuffs, but not much in the way of RV parts. They had some permanent residences occuping about 25 of the spaces, but for the most part, they were well kept and didn't detract from the overall enjoyment of the campground. This place had a TON of things to do, especially for the kids...which there were plenty of. This isn't the place to go for a quiet weekend in the woods, but overall a very positve experience. We won't hesitate to return. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Located in a very pretty wooded area. Our pullthru site was not level and graveled dirt. They only accepted check or cash. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
First, the good news: this park is very quiet (about a mile west of 101). Terrific views; it's up on a ridge overlooking the wine country. And the onsite manager was very helpful. Bad news: there's a very steep hill on the access road (10% grade?). The sites were not level. The sewer hookup was not conveniently located. The electric power did not work at our site(we had to use a very long extension cord). The bathroom wasn't very clean. The hot water was not hot enough. There aren't many pull through sites. There are quite a few permanent residents, but their rigs were very neat and clean. The Park only takes cash. [Phone: (707) 894-4829.] The next time I'm in Cloverdale, I might check out the KOA; but Dutcher might be quieter. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Rate is $0 for Thousand Trails member, but we can't put a 0 in the nightly rate box. The staff is very friendly and the park is well maintained. There is Wi-Fi in the club house. Water and 30 amp electric sites only with a dump station. About half the sites are very tight and small for large RV's. You go and choose your site, so look around carefully. There is no cable and no reception off an antenna. Our Verizon cell phone was very spotty and our air card worked fair. There are 4 loops with 1 washer and dryer in each loop. There is a road and trail down to the river, which is not visible from the RV sites. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Very nice Thousand Trails Preserve. Well maintained. The only problem for some of the campers is that the septic system had a problem and everyone was unable to dump tanks. They did, however, have the "honey wagon service" available for a $15 fee. I understand that problem will be fixed soon. They have a park layout map that shows where satellite reception is available at selected sites. Will stay here again when in the area. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We stayed here through our Resort Parks International membership. The campground is nice - some treed sites as well as some open. They provide a nice map when you arrive and it details which sites are good for roof-top satellites and which work better for tri-pod mounts. No sewer at sites, but there is water & electric. Each loop has bathrooms w/showers and laundry - one front loader washer & dryer. The Clubhouse has book exchange, TV with cable, free Wi-Fi, telephone, puzzles & games. It is a nice place. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
The park was well-kept, but there isn't much to keep anyone busy. There's a section of river rafting which is nice, but no pool. It was perfect for a short stopover and while there was no sewer, there was an easy dump station on the way out. We had a nice shady drive-through site, although it bordered a hill with lots of poison oak. The location is good for great wine tasting, but there's little else close by. Inexpensive laundry with new front-load machines. WIFI in office only, but it seemed to work okay. Cell service was iffy, but seemed to work if I walked around the park a bit. Staff very friendly and helpful. We would return if in the area. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
The park is nice and well kept. The playground was nice too. The Wifi is very limited, only available in the clubhouse which has limited hours. The cell reception out there is not too good either so don't count on it. We would not return to this park. The lack of sewage connections was a hassle, the lack of cell/internet was worse. Many of the workers were not very friendly, especially towards kids and younger families. It is a nice park though. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Nicely wooded park in the hills above the Russian River. Sites have water and 30 amp power only. We stayed under the $8 RPI rate. They now have WiFi in and around the lodge, but not at the sites. One of the maps they give you on check-in shows which sites can get roof-top satellite reception and which can get it with a tripod. You select your own site. The security staff offer suggestions for sections of the park that are navigable in a big rig. Each of the bath houses has a big new front-loading washer and a dryer outside. The park is heavily forested with oak trees, but there is plenty of sunshine. Most of the sites are pretty close to one another, but the other campers are all quiet and friendly. We will return there in the future. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Stayed here 4 nights while passing through the area. Typical Thousand Trails / NACO Preserve. Will come again if in area. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This campground is in the woods with paved interior roads and paved campsite parking pads. They have room for big rigs in some areas, although getting around the narrow roads between the trees can be a challenge for big rigs to access some sites. There is a nice trail to the rocky beach. The campground is built on a hill but many of the campsites have a level parking area. This is a good place to get your exercise walking up and down the hills. It was very quiet there and we saw deer and many acorn woodpeckers while we were there. It is convenient to the many wineries in the area. We would stay there again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a 1000 Trails/Naco Campground. It lies close to the Russian River north of
Cloverdale. The staff are really nice and helpful. Security is excellent. Not much for kids here, the river beach is rocky and quite a hike to get to. I would come back as a stopover. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
