The surroundings can't be beat. Within steps of the Russian River, it's very pretty. This place is definitely a campground - gravel and dirt - so when the wind blows, it's dusty! No wifi at our site, but that didn't matter. There was plenty to do, see and enjoy. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Casini Ranch is a huge RV park that is situated along the Russian River. The RV sites with hookups are arranged near the center of the campground but river access is still convenient. The week we were there they weren't at full capacity but the spaces are large so even at their busiest, this is a spacious place to stay. The only thing that keeps it from being a 10 is there are limited activities around the location if you are not on the river. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This is a remote, idyllic farm setting on a working cattle ranch 5 miles east of the mouth of the Russian River. Some sites are right on the river and several sites are secluded. Very nice park...older, but they are modernizing and building new super sites for large rigs. CATV works well, WiFi is excellent. No cell service, but Verizon is putting in a tower which was supposed to be operational 4/30/08. They have plenty of space for the kids to play. They are installing a bocce ball court, horse shoes, and are upgrading the bath houses. They have a well stocked general store and propane on premise. There is a gorgeous duck pond and the kids can feed the ducks! If you like fishing, swimming, kayaking, biking, or hiking this is the perfect place. Motorcycles are not allowed in the campground, but call to see if you can make arrangements. Located just 69 miles north of San Fran, 5 miles from Jenner, and 35 miles from Santa Rosa, this is a nice, quiet place where you can truly get away from it all. You'll also find top notch restaurants, bistros, wineries, historical sites, summer concerts and festivals, something for everyone. I recommend this little gem tucked away on the river. Be sure to make reservations as they book solid during the summer months. We camped here in a Motorhome.

They are updating with new full hook-up section coming behind the office. The whole place could use a renovation but still a great place to camp. River bends along the campground so many river front sites, some with electricity and water. Full hook-up sites are close together but not too bad because they are angled. And the area is absolutely beautiful. (800) 451-8400 We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Cordial hosts. Easy check-in. Large park with a variety of "levels" from dry to full. Best sites (river) are elec/water. Full are up on high-ground. Although they state that they have wifi throughout the park, it's weak, and you have to go to office to get signal. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We have camped here several times in a 36' motor home. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Great store! They evn have RV parts! Sites can be from side by side open to your neighbor (WiFi sites) to all alone in the trees. Restrooms are cleaned about every 4 hours day time. I know we camped right by them twice. Since it is on the Russian River the water sites have few hook ups since they flood out a lot in winter and elec must be turned off. (something the people who do not know the area should consider.) This is a FAMILY campground. But we have no kids and did not find that to be a problem. All gets quiet at dusk. We love this place so please consider the area and the different types of sites if you decide to stay here. We will be back several times this summer. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a hidden jewell by the Russian River. Well maintained and organized with a friendly and helpfull staff. We stayed longer than originally planned since the place was so nice. The only small concern was that on sunday afternoon a certain amount of gunfire could be heard from a local skeet shooting range. We were ok with it but our dog was a little upset. The wi-fi is better in some areas of the park than others but the staff and overall feel of the place more than compensated for any slight problems. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We went to Casini Ranch Family Campground in August of 2007 and stayed just one night, even though we had reserved three nights. (The rate is $40/night for a full hookup site with 2 adults and 2 kids.) I have to say the place looks nothing like the pictures on their website. When you first pull in, it does seem nice. There is a cute general store where you check in. But once you drive to the full hook-up sites, you see some run down trailers (which we found amusing since their rules say "RVs must be in very good condition and must be of suitable appearance") and then you see rows and rows of sites that are simply weeds, gravel and a few small trees. (I guess the trees have been cut way back since the website photos were taken.) There were only a handful of RVs there mid-week, so we didn't need a reservation. The sites that are closer to the river do seem better, but again you are camped on dirt with some trees, no sewer hookups, and a pretty desolate river. The "beach" along the river is gravel, so there is no sand for the kids to play with and there is a lot of moss in the river, so that could be the reason there was no one in the water. Since we paid for three nights, I did try to get a refund for two nights but only because the campground paperwork did NOT say no refunds for early departures. They refused to give us a refund, but we still left. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Dirty, dusty with lots of stickers and burrs for your pets' coat. If you like parking your Rv in a big field, this is your place. Two pluses: there is quite a bit for the kiddies and good river access. I have no kids so I won't be back. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We stayed here with our RV group and had a nice large area. The park has a nice club room and were very accommodating. There are lots of things to do in the area, being on the Russian River, close to the ocean, redwoods and wine country. Great family park. I would stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Sites 69 and 70 are the best in the campground. Great view of the river and secluded from the other sites. Water, 30 amp and cable... Sorry no sewer at these sites. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Wow, Surprised with all the low ratings by others. We have a small group that meets every year in April, that we utilize the full hook sites. We have never felt neglected, as the staff has always been prompt with our requests. The full hookup sites are the smallest of sites because they are grouped together for the septic system, and are away from the river. There are many nice river view sites, that have partial hookups of ether water and power. Yes it can rain this time of year, but have always made the best of it if it does. A convenient location near the northern coastline for day trips. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This campground caters to tent camping. My family used to camp here before we got out Trailer and it was nice. However, the sites for trailers are not very desirable and I wish I would have continued up HWY 1. Duncan Mills is a nice area but this is not a nice campground. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We stayed there for 4th of July so it may just have been really busy but it was pretty noisy with kids and dogs. We will return though. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is an older camground. The first thing I noticed is the sewer connection was not threaded nor was it large enough for the rubber dounut. So there was no way to seal the connection. Had to put the hose on and stack a couple of board on it. The campground section we were in lost power over night with no explaination on why. Only reason we went there to meet some friends at a rally Probably won't return on our own. Close to the Armstrong Redwood Reserve, which was very nice. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

They have a habit of NOT making you feel welcome. Seems most of the crew aren't happy with their job. If it rains, which is quite common, don't bother going. Tremendous amount of mud. Tight spaces and overpriced. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a great place on the Russian River near Guernville in Northern California. Very family friendly, the sites on the river are electric and water, if you want full hookups they are more crowded. We stayed right after 4th of July and it wasn't too crowded. Bathrooms a little out of date, but General Store, duck pond and the river right there. Wine tasting close by too. Great shady sites for tents as well. Recommend highly! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This is a private members only club that you can gain access thru ROD if you have a home membership in the system. You can not just drive up and get into this park. With that said we loved it enough to join on our free weekend. The site is well kept up and the people are really nice. The price for us to have a lifetime membership is reasonable and not what the other posts stated. We wanted a place in Northern California that gave us beach access (5 miles nearby) and also river access (this is right on the Russian River). Great dinning and coffee place within walking distance. In the end the other members made us feel really welcomed and we bought because of them. We will spend some quality time here over the years and will come to call the place our second home. Weather was great. Location is the best. AND it's quiet but fun. The kids had a blast. Looking forward to our next trip within the month. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We were fortunate to be invited back for another free weekend at this beautiful campground. We enjoyed our stay so much, we decided to join. The staff members are very friendly and the campground is in very good condition,considering that they were flooded last month. The membership price was a little high compare to other parks we visited in the past. However, the overall condition of the park is far better than most parks we have been in. Kayaking is free and they have a nice big Hot Tub. They also have two clubhouses...one for kids and one for adults. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This is a beautiful campground with spacious sites, tables and firepits, lots of trees and flowers (in April anyway). Some sites with water and electric only, some with FHU's. Very nice staff, always available. No cell phone(Verizon) or TV reception at our site. We came by way of River Road from Santa Rosa in a 37 ft MH and had no problems but evidently the trip up Hwy 1 from San Francisco can be a bit hairy. We stayed free as members of Resorts of Distinction. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Duncans Mills C. C. is a membership campground that will let you stay the weekend if you are inteerseted in joining. Even if you don't join, they will still not charge you for staying. It is a very beautiful campground and it is part of the R.O.D. membership program. They don't have a pool but they do have a large hot tub and clubhouse. The campground is within walking distance of a little town, Duncans Mills, and it has a great coffee shop worth going to. The membership is $5000 to join and $1000 per year for dues. This would be a perfect set up if I was retired and had more time to camp. However, this might be something one of you might be interested in. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
