What Guests Are Saying
The Russian River Campground offers a beautiful and well-maintained environment, with spacious sites and helpful staff, making it a favorite destination for many visitors. Guests appreciate the scenic hiking opportunities, including a popular trail to the falls, and the campground's proximity to fishing spots. However, challenges with the reservation system, road conditions, and maintenance issues, such as the dump station being frequently closed, have led to some frustration among campers.

I have been recreating at the Russian River campground since it's inception, some 50yrs+.
The vegetation remediation project has been one of the most successful I have seen. The riverside is absolutely gorgeous with all the ferns and other vegetation. Truly magical to share with my daughter, the next generation that I hope will be able to enjoy as much as I have. The sites are well maintained, the new fire pits are wonderful and the outhouses are well maintained. I understand operating costs for these elements and am obliged to contribute. The Russian River gets very crowded when the sockeye are in season and this can be tricky to have a pleasant experience, but I know the beauty of the river outweighs any negativity those that are impatient can impose. Keep up the improvements and God save the sockeye!

As always, camping was great with annual friends. Fishing very slow, but the bears were plentiful. Will be back next year.

Policies & Rules
Cancellation policy
- Reservation fees are non-refundable. For campsites, cabins, lookouts, yurts, group sites, and similar stays, we charge a reservation service fee of $8.
- Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.
- Late cancellation rules differ by stay type.
- Individual campsites: cancelling after 12:00am local time the day before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
- Cabins, lookouts, and yurts: cancelling less than 14 days before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
- One-night reservations: a late cancellation usually forfeits the full amount paid, up to the total original reservation cost.
- Modifications are allowed before the cut-off window, but fees depend on the change. Changing to dates completely outside the original reservation dates may trigger a $10 change fee. Extending or shortening a stay that still includes original dates usually has no change fee, though refunds may depend on timing and facility rules. Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
- Early departures may or may not be refunded. At certain facilities, partial refunds may be possible if staff can mark the site available for other visitors. No refund is given for a night if the early departure is requested after that day's check-out time.
- Security deposits are separate. Security deposits may be refunded to the original payment method if the facility is left in acceptable condition, as determined by the property.
