This is the first RV park we have departed without staying for more than enough time to reserve a site, pay with a credit card and get a refund immediately. Sites were close together and appeared to be filled with full-time campers. Sites were cluttered and not attractive. Person in office was kind enough to contact another RV park in Fort Bragg to be sure that we had a site to stay four nights. Unless you need a site for a night and nothing else is available in Fort Bragg, I would suggest avoiding this "rv park". We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This campground offers easy pull-through spaces which is convenient. However, the campground is flat and open with no privacy between spaces at all. There are trees surrounding the campground but very little vegetation by the sites. Good cell service and close to town. If you are looking for easy access and set-up, this is a good campground. If you want privacy, there is little to be found here. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This park has tremendous potential, but.....too many permanents makes the place look run down. The sites are gravel and most are close to being flat. The interior roads are paved. Fire rings at every site. During the long holiday weekend, many fishermen and abalone divers occupy the park and make for a festive atmosphere. Great big open field in the park for kids to ride bikes. Very friendly staff. I'd give it a higher rating except for the permanents. Right on highway 20 and only a few minutes from the ocean and downtown Ft. Bragg. We camped here in a Motorhome.
To begin with, this park is hard to find; the sign is broken. It is just west of highway 1 (Main Street) at 1021 S Main Street on the south end of the Noyo River bridge; watch for the Cliff House restaurant sign. We visited several RV parks in the area; they all (including this one) seem to have come from the same plan - sites too close together, neglected appearance, and used more as low - rent permanent sites than RV parks. This park is distinguished by its stunning location and views. Noyo River to the north, a large and very beautiful Pomo Bluffs city park and Pacific ocean to the west. Gorgeous sunsets, clouds, fog. Power, water, and cable all work. In spite of the park's appearance, we felt comfortable and secure. We enjoyed our 10 day stay and will stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This park isn't much to look at, but it is located adjacent to a beautiful bluff top park with views out to the ocean. We saw Grey whales go by both nights. One problem is that the 5 best view sites in the front row have no sewer hookup and there is no dump station. The other 5 view sites do have sewer. It seems to be mostly full timers here except for most of the sites in the front row. There's no Wi-Fi but you can get Wi-Fi in front of the Super 8 Hotel across the street. I would stay here again, it is centrally located to tour the Mendocino Coast, close to Ft. Bragg amenities, & has a great view for a good price. We camped here in a Motorhome.
The RV park is not much to look at, but it is next to the Pomo Bluff Park which is magnificent. A fog horn is constantly sounding which is either romantic or annoying. We liked it. Very close to the town. For this park, its all about the location. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This is a very nice, well treed, clean private park. It's just south of Fort Bragg - there is a decent laundry facility, wifi (although not every site gets a great signal, which is why we rate it a 7), full hook-ups including cable, and a nice staff. The do not take AAA, but do take Good Sam's, which saves 10% off the published rate of $40. NO weekly rates, either. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We just stayed here one night, but we really enjoyed it. And, we'll definitely be back. Sites are level, shaded and private. Facilities are well maintained, and the place seems very family friendly. Bicycles are indeed welcome. There's just one small hill where they are prohibited (to avoid a collision in a blind intersection at the bottom of the hill). Our only complaint is the extra charge for 50 amp service. But, we didn't really need it anyway. We camped here in a Motorhome.
The park was nice and clean. The spaces were large and had a lot of trees and bushes between the sites. Everything was great except the person at the front desk. We asked for things to do and she handed us a square dancing brochure. She was just indifferent. We then went into town to get the local attractions. We would stay there again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We really like this park with the complete privacy of sites. We made our reservations late and didn't have those sites (we were close to the tents) but ours was fine and the weather was great. They charge extra for 50 amp, but if not running the air, who needs it? The place was spotless. Didn't use the showers, but they are coin operated to save water - I guess. We'll return. We camped in a fifth wheel. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Excellent park. Well maintained. Has many different sized sites that will accomodate all different sized rigs, from tents to the biggest trailers. Many of the sites are divided by trees and dense foliage. Apart from group sites, the park is very quiet. Staff is exceptionally helpful. Area has much to offer the whole family. Call ahead, seems very full and busy all the time. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We have stayed here many times over the past 15 years and always happy. One downfall is no credit cards accepted. Most all sites are blocked from other campers view due to the big trees, bushes, and plant life. This is not a kid friendly RV park, no playground for kids, just a grassy area, children can not ride bikes, skate boards of any form there of. You also have to drive to a beach area, nothing within walking distance. Over all a very clean park. Front desk personal could be a little bit more friendly, which seems to be our complaint each time. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This is probably the best RV park in Fort Bragg. A previous review mentioned a bad experience about a dog park near a smelly area and not being able to find the showers. I suspect this person was reviewing another park as we found the facilities outstanding. Sites are very well maintained and lots of room between. Most electrical/water/sewer pedestals are new. WiFi excellent. No AT&T cellular service at site we had. Would always stay at this park when visiting Fort Bragg. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
They don't take credit cards, only personal checks. Office is well landscaped. Nearly all sites are back in and are very narrow with tall bushes on the left side. Thanks to a wonderful employee we were finally able to get settled. He repaired the cable connection for us, helped us back in and hooked us up. The hookups are low to the ground and are very difficult for disabled people to use. Sites are not level. Campground is apparently quite old. I never did find the showers. Dog walk is next to huge dumpsters that smell bad and also adjacent to parked heavy equipment and large piles of dirt. Strange place. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a very nice campground with trees and vegetation for privacy. The sites are large enough for the big rigs as well as a tow vehicle and tent. The fire pits are actually an old washer tub, but they work very well for their purpose. The staff is friendly and accommodating. Some of the sites are easier to pull in than others, but I haven't seen anyone with any major problems. This campground is clean and the rules are strict to enforce this. The directions via map quest are incorrect; you turn left (if southbound) on Tregoning Lane. The highways 1 and 271 are very curvy and have drop-off cliffs, but it is a beautiful drive but not for the faint at heart, like me. I'm glad we came, but because of the very curvy roads and drop offs, I'm not coming back. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is an older facility with some very nice mature trees and shrubs, creating some privacy. The staff was friendly and helpful. Our “pull through” space did not have enough distance at the end for our 35 foot motor home to pull through and turn, so we had to back out. This was not a big deal but it did require a little maneuvering. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This was a campground. As long as you know that it is what it is, you won't be disappointed. We had a larger pull thru spot, that was all dirt. Getting to the spot was tight. There were lots of trees which is good for shade, but makes it difficult to get to the spot. The turns in the road to get to the spot were somewhat tight. We only stayed one night, so we can only rate by first impression. It was a good location to see that specific area, but the area didn't hold much interest for us. The campground was very quiet and we enjoyed the fire ring. The staff was nice and helpful. Unfortunately, the best highway to get there by motorhome was Highway 20 and it was long, winding and narrow. The campground, nor the City, was worth the drive for us. We would not go back. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is far and away the best campground in Fort Bragg. It is very well maintained and clean and quiet. There is a lot of vegetation and trees throughout most of the campground and a number of the spaces are fairly private. Cell service is sketchy at best and just seems to come and go while in the campground. Once back on the main road, service is usually fine. WiFi is available, but depends on the site you get as it does not seem to work in some sites. Previously, you could connect to the WiFi for a day without charge but on my last visit, that option was not available and the charges listed were for a month at a time. My main problems with this campground are the coin-operated showers, and the fact that you cannot request a particular site. I've had several that I really liked and some that were not so good (lack of room to extend awning, lack of privacy, etc.) and because you cannot request a certain site, it's kind of a roll of the dice as to whether you get one you like or not. Since I am usually looking primarily for privacy, I hate to drive all the way up and then get stuck with a site that has little privacy. Outside of that though, it is still the best deal in town for the amenities and overall ambiance. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Most sites are tucked away in the trees and are very private. Several fish cleaning stations and a wet suit drying rack. Only could get cell service by standing in the middle of the road in a clear area. The bathrooms, showers, and laundry are old and in need of upgrading but are spotless. Surprised at the coin operated showers, take lots of quarters. Staff very helpful and friendly, grounds are kept up beautifully. WiFi signal in my site spotty and weak. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Shrubbery blocks individual sites so park is as private as you can get. Very quiet. Must pay extra for 50 amp. Charming towns close by. Short road into park desperately repaving. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We have stayed at Riverwalk on numerous occasions. This is one of the easiest of parks to gain access to. Almost all the sites have pull through available, with the semi-permanent people using the back in sites. We have yet to stay at an RV park that has a greater level of service or cleanliness. The restrooms and grounds have always been immaculate. The people who stay here are usually a quiet friendly group of people. We look forward to our next stay in Fortuna. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Rustic environment. Lots of trees and bushes. Wide spaces. Few pull-thrus. Low water pressure which makes laundry washers slow to fill. Good WiFi (10 days free) Good TV. No cellular reception. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
More like a parking lot than an RV park. Freeway noise. Late night check-in after midnight. Lots of kid activity. Would not stay here again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
One of the better RV parks in Fort Bragg. Beautiful grounds, with lots of local flora. Almost all the sites are back ins. Most of the sites are secluded from each other with the use of the native vegetation for screening. The maintenance people there work their tails off, as each site is fully swept before the next arrival. Although there are campgrounds with better beach access, one would be hard pressed to find one with better accommodations. Pomo RV park gives a new meaning to the term clean restrooms. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This is one of the best parks we've camped at yet! The sites are nicely 'divided' by trees and shrubs giving a sense of privacy. We had a back-in site and access was very easy. The discount for Good Sam Club members is substantial, make sure to bring your card. Water pressure seemed a little low, but no problem at all. Cellular reception is very poor, but the cable TV was great. We will definitely camp here again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Preceding comments are generally accurate, so I will keep this brief: very nice park. Well-managed and nicely landscaped. Adequate privacy. Surprisingly quiet -- it's more than a quarter-mile from the highway, unlike most other parks in this area. A few minor downsides: WiFi is spotty, but you can find some good reception. Cell reception is poor. Bring lots of quarters for the showers(75 cents for 7 1/2 minutes). Hot water sometimes runs out at peak periods. I would definitely come back here, given the opportunity. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This is an expensive, but beautiful park. The sites are large and have a lot of privacy and the landscaping features lots of native plants. This park had been extensively reviewed by others so I won't go into a lot of detail. We would stay here again even though it's pricey. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is an attractive campground with many large trees. Our visit, in January, was during a very quiet time and the park was nearly empty. We especially liked that many sites were screened from the neighbors by bushes and trees. Wi-Fi worked quite well. We could get no signal on our cell phone (may depend on your carrier). We were charged $3 per day extra for a 50 Amp service (included in the quoted rate above). A 10% Good Sam or FMCA member discount was available (also reflected in the above price). I don't have a satellite TV service (yet) but I expect that the many large trees at this park might present a problem for those who do. The cable TV service was quite basic, but adequate, with only 10 channels available. We would use this park again. While it's expensive, the price is in line with other parks in the area considering the facilities and location. Back in access for our 42' motorhome was adequate, but might not be suitable for a beginner. There are a couple of pull through sites available for larger units. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This park is exceptionally beautiful. Each site feels very private. The grounds are well-maintained. We were there during a major storm and the power was out for 3 days. Even so, we were comfortable. Had a little trouble with internet connection after power was restored, but the park did everything they could to meet our needs. We would definitely stay again! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Nice wide sites. Good staff. Store and propane available. Only negative is occasional cattle smell and some freeway noise. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Stayed here after not finding anything nice from cresent city south. Very high rated TL park. Nice pull-thrus with real grass. Room for slides on both sides with at least 10-15 feet between neighbors. Good pool and hot tub. Excellent hosts, WIFI signal free and strong. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
The park is in a beautiful setting among trees with very wide spaces. They only accept cash and checks which is not very convenient. Beware of their refund policy. On another occasion, we called on the last day of the refund period and had to argue with the owner about getting our money back. She did take care of us. Overall a very nice park and we would definitely stay there again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This was a very clean park. Staff was very friendly and helpful. A nice place to spend a weekend, but not a long term stay. Not spacious to set up a full camp. No planned activities in the park. Considerable road noise from adjacent street and the highway. We would not hesitate to spend a week-end there again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Moved our site when we arrived to a full sun site. They charge for everything including the showers. It was clean, no access to the beaches from the campground. Friendly service. Would have to think about coming back again. They do give discount for Good Sam. No credit cards are taken. Only cash or check. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This is an attractive park located about 200 yards from highway 101, so needless to say there was a bit of noise ALL nite long. We were told that we had a 61 foot pull-thru, but the nose of the TV and the tail of the TT barely fit and my total length is 54'. There is a small tree in some sites that made it difficult when you pulled out. Also had to pay $5 for each of the kids and we didn't even unhook the TT or leave the campsite. My total cost was $50 and some of us wonder why Wal-Mart is so attractive. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This is a very lovely park. We stayed from mid week through a 3 day weekend, and enjoyed the entire stay. The spaces are very large with trees overhead. Used the wireless internet service and enjoyed having this benefit. Would definately stay there again! We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

The park was just as I had expected from the other reviews, and their website descriptions. The staff was friendly, informative. The site we had was quite level. Full hookups including Cable TV. The outdoor fireplace is an old washer drum.....since this is what we carry with us we liked it just fine...distributes the heat from the fire evenly. Quiet, even though sites are close together. WiFi is a little difficult to access, but worked often enough to allow us to do our computer work. Will return. We camped here in a Motorhome.
I was really looking forward to visiting this RV park with all the reviews I read. But, it was a trip from hell. They did not inform us that we would NOT have one of the full hook up secluded spots and instead was placed in the group or over flow area around the restroom/laundry and meeting room. There was a soccer competition in town it appeared, from all the soccer players in the over flow/group area. The young boys and girls would cut through our camp site and hang out by the bathrooms and talk and yell at each other. Even the adults from this group would come through our camp site. This went on past quite time and started up at 5:30 AM. No manners and rude people ruined a our first trip to northern Calif. We might try this campground again, but we will asked more questions before we come here. Over all the camp grounds full hook up secluded sites did look inviting. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Great facility. Would stay there again. Pet friendly. Nice store available. Great places to eat within walking distance. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We really enjoyed our stay at this campground. It's a clean, quiet, rustic kind of setting. Very pretty with lots of beautiful flowers and well trimmed trees. The sites are roomy, very private, and easy to get into. The office was a bit busy at times but the staff remained friendly and helpful. Be sure to bring cash or checks as credit cards are not taken. We stayed for almost a week and look forward to another week next year. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Have stayed here before. Campground is very wooded with gravel sites, picnic tables and fire pits. Park is always full in summer. 30amp electric in our site was running low voltage. WiFi is charged thru a provider for $3.00 an hour or $6 per 24 hours. They only accept cash or checks. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Very private sites, we had RV's on both sides of our site and they were BARELY visible. They clean each site after use and even clean out the fire pit. They have sites available for camping with another RV that are double sites. We met our niece and her husband and shared a site...great idea. Streets are wide with lots of room for backing into spaces. They close the gate at 11:00 PM for added security. One of the NICER private campgrounds we have stayed at. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Great overall campground with plenty of shade; well maintained. Managment is professional
and friendly. While children are welcome, there's little for them to do on the campground proper. My only real complaint is the "nickle and diming" they use: the camp is overpriced anyway, but you are then charged for showers, more than two people in a site, etc. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is one of the most beautiful parks that I have ever stayed at. The sites are all gravel and level. Many are huge and most you can't see your neighbor for the vegetation. The interior roads are paved. It is dead quiet here at all hours. Easy access. My only gripe is that the staff wants to charge you for every little thing, like the site (obviously), your children, pets (even cats), visitors, etc. They charged my cousins $5 when they came in to have dinner with my folks....that's just being greedy. Otherwise, one of the two best parks in Fort Bragg. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Beautiful park 1 mile outside town.Sites are very large and each is surrounded by large
trees so you can not see other RV's.Very quiet,feels like your all along.Coastline here is outstanding! We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Helpful staff. Very busy place, recommend reservation in summer months. Small store. Very woodsy. All paved roads with gravel sites. About 1-2 miles to town. Rode the "Skunk Train", might want to consider saving your money--nothing but a 3 hour train ride into the "woods" with nothing much to see but trees and brush. Website for Pomo says "new ownership" - the "new" owners have been there for 4 years now! As another camper said - power is low, but we did not need A/C so did not bother us. They also charge for the showers. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We spent a week at Pomo, and considered it a very fine destination park. It is close to the ocean and the towns of Fort Bragg, Mendocino, Albion, and Elk. There are ample activities in the immediate area for everyone. The park is well maintained with paved roads and mostly level gravel sites. Most sites are separated by hedgerows (often rhododendron or other flowering shrubs) and there is considerable privacy for an RV Park. We didn't experience the power issue that was mentioned previously and noticed that there seems to be an ongoing effort to upgrade the older
utilities. Wild birds (many quail) and other animals were everywhere in this forest park. We will visit again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This park is very nice looking, enough trees and plants to feel like your camping in the woods rather than an RV park. Much more privacy than most parks due to the layout, with trees etc between sites. Close to river and ocean, minutes from town but seems much more remote. This would have been an excellent place except for two problems. one, pay showers. I would rather pay more for the site than be forced to feed quarters to the shower. Two, much more important, power seemed low, just above red, with my transformer making a lot of noise. This was the only one of six parks on this trip to make our transformer buzz. Unwilling to chance ruining our electrical system, we moved on. If you don't experiance the power problems, this is a nice place to spend some time. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We spent the weekend here with a small group of 5 rigs and a few tents. All that was good about our stay was being with friends. The campground had little to offer. Basically, there are a handful of pull-throughs for week enders. The rest of the place is occupied by permanent residents in "rigs" in various states of disrepair. The website shows a picture of Belinda Point, which is gorgeous. But, it's important to know that it's a 30-minute or so walk and there is no beach access. The site also refers to this place as one of Northern California's most beautiful RV parks and campgrounds. Not true. If you want to experience one of Northern California's best, head across Highway 1 to Pomo. (After our group left, that's exactly what we did.) We camped here in a Motorhome.
