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.

The outhouses are full. It doesn't appear that they've been emptied since last season (2021).

The staff it up with a bear box table and fires amazing always going the extra mile to help you out. The camping site were very well set up with bear boxes, tables and fire pits with great grills. Make sure you have a portable toilet for personal use, the facilities provided are not recommend for use.

Very disappointed in the Russian River campground. Over 1/2 of the sights were vacant even though it’s nearly impossible to get a reservation. We also got harassed by a US Forest Service Law Enforcement Officer. Overall, the campground is not what it used to be. The horrible road into the campground mist be addressed immediately.

There were so many campsites that were “reserved”, but
There was no one there. It’s very frustrating when I know how hard it is to get a campsite. I know a lot of friends that would love to camp, but they couldn’t because someone reserved it, and didn’t use it. That’s bad business in my opinion.

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.
