Russian River Campground is highly regarded for its spacious, clean campsites, friendly staff, and beautiful surroundings, making it a favorite spot for many visitors, including long-time campers. Improvements such as a new entrance road and well-maintained facilities enhance the overall experience. However, issues with reservation policies lead to frustration, as many booked sites remain unoccupied, preventing others from enjoying the campground.

Even with the new road upgrades, the roads are still very narrow in places. Camp sites are the same with no electric or water. You have to fill your water tank just after the check in gate. Dump site is directly across the street.

I am frustrated with the online renting process. The campground was nearly empty but if you ask the front gate they are booked full. Something needs to be done to help give a better incentive for cancelling last minute so others can rent and ones who cancel can get more than a few dollars back.

Enjoyed 2 nights.
It was so peaceful, went fishing. Caught a few fish, saw some beer and had great weather.

Nice campground with easy access to the Russian river. We were here to fish and it was wonderful to be so close to the river. Campground spaces had good separation and staff at the entrance gate were very friendly and helpful.

We wanted to stay an extra day. Asked when we checked in and was told they were full. Added to the cancel list and had to come down at five to find out there was nothing for the next day. Why could they not tell me that at check in? The campground was 1/2 empty. When we left the following day there wasn't any campers at all! The cancellation policy online needs to be improved so people can use the campgrounds when people do not show. The employees need to be given better incentives to fill the campground instead of keep it empty. It's really aggravating.
