Casini Ranch Family Campground

Have been here many times over the years and is still one of our favorite places to rv camp. Most of their sites have full rv hookups and are kept clean and mowed. With a dog we really like their enclosed rv sites, as well as offering privacy. The casini ranch store has prerty much anything you's need for camping at ok prices. The park is located on the russian river and offers seasonal kayak / float tube rentals as well as golfcart rentals.

Booked this trip Friday morning for two nights. Had a great time. Park was clean, organized, and great for kids. You can tell seasonal attractions are most amazing. General store had lots and lots to offer, even propane station and laundry. We will be back soon. Lots of sites and types to choose from big and small.

Spent a late Friday afternoon at Bodega so decided to look for an RV park and found this online. Placed our reservation, made our site decision and paid with credit card. After dinner in Bodega Bay we arrived (6:16pm) at the completely dark campground. No information or receipt or any acknowledgment of our reservation. Called the phone number for after hours help on the exterior 'guard house' wall. We could hear the phone ring in the empty building!! What a joke! I had cell service so I checked my credit card account. Ya, they got their money. We picked a random empty spot and spent the night. SCREW THEM AND THEIR LACK OF CUSTOMER SERVICE.
You couldn't pay us to stay at this place again.

For $180+ a night for spot F10, which is one of the top tier sites with it's own grill and gazebo, I was not impressed. Day 1, a Thursday, was fantastic. We woke up on Friday with an animal poo on our paved gazebo area. I assumed it was from a cat or raccoon because we had zero neighbors.

Friday comes, and the heathens start rolling in with their 5th wheels and toy haulers. The kid activity picked up as the kids arrived and got on their 4 wheelers and go cart type, noisy machines. Our neighbors pulled in to what I assume is F11. It's a spot with hookups but not the premium gazebo. They had 3 dogs running loose and they set up their tent, picnic table, and trailer basically right on top of us. Why does a premium spot have a shared driveway with a basic site?

Friday night was loud and the people at a few of the sites, "first responders" which was quite obvious with their "try that..small town" stickers and other flags, began howling at the moon. All the while their unsupervised children kept cutting through our campsite. They clearly weren't raised right, so tell them to go around did nothing. The howling and barking and "fireball" call was absolutely obnoxious. I wouldn't want any of these people first responding to any incident of mine.

Saturday, even more noisy kids and noisy "bikes" zooming all around the campground making a whirrrring sound.
Saturday night, even more noise, howling, and "fireball".

Sunday, we woke up to 3 piles of shit on our paved patio. This time it was clearly dog shit and clearly came from our neighbors at F11. Their dogs were running loose the entire weekend and clearly used our patio that we paid extra for as their toilet.

The staff at the store and the staff on the grounds were 5 star. However, I will never return to this overpriced hell on earth. It was full of white trash and other trash.

Honestly I was afraid I may be charged for the 3 piles of dog shit left on my patio. It's worth trying every place once, but can't fool me twice.

We stayed at site 102C for our daughter's 3rd birthday (Sept 18-21) and loved the space! It easily fit our 27' trailer + two 14x14 tents and still had room for the kids to play. The site has two flat spots, some nice shade, and a little slope overall. The only downside was the yellow jackets and flies, which were pretty bad but the supremely stocked general store had solutions. Great spot for a little group and they allowed us some day time visitors to help us celebrate for a fee.
