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.

Nice campground, crowded though.

My only major dislike is with the campground reservation website, recreation.gov . Making a reservation is extremely frustrating, and seems to require random luck!

I campground is especially will run with first class managers. While getting a reservation for six months in advance for fishing season has become much more difficult, it can still be done. This year the campground was littered with logged trees that need to be cleaned up and burned. But the scenery is always wonderful and the fishing is usually very good

The camp hosts/managers are the best. Toilets are refilled daily, good dump stations and water points. With all the spruce cut down maybe cut in smaller chunks so campers could burn and kill beetles and larvae.

Awesome site in a great setting. Plenty of things to do in the area with a beautiful river, great hikes to the falls and lake and then a good place to bike around the camp. We have already reserved a site for our next trip.

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.
