Boat-in Sites (Lake Sonoma)

Great place to do some boat in camping. Lake is still pretty low.

Easy, simple, clean; camped hiked, ran. Pretty quiet off-seasan. Trails could be marked better as there is no cell service.

When we got to the boat in ramp it was closed. The water was super super low and we had to lug out all our supplies to the waterline (which was more that 500ft from
the car and again, there was no ramp or easy way to get there) we had planned to boat in with. This took several hours and was a major inconvenience. The trail down to the waterline was extremely muddy and hard to traverse especially carrying any type of supplies. By the time we finished loading up the boat, it was dark. We could not even find the campsite as there were no markers. I am exhausted and have bruises all over my body for something that should have been quick and simple if the ramp had been open. They should put a disclaimer when the water level is low or as to which boat ramps to use and which are closed! Will not be coming back.

The site locations on the recreation.gov site are massively incorrect. All the sites for a given campground are within close proximity and accessed from the same landing site.

A fun remote get away!

October 2021 - Extreme drought has left the lake very low, the campsites are still lovely and remote and peaceful, but be mindful of the boat-in approach, there is considerably more steep bank to climb to access the sites, and the boat landing is on surface was recently lake bottom - while it looks like solid ground it's easy to sink to ankle or knee depth in thick muck. n it's essential to use sticks and rocks the make a stepping zone or otherwise cover the surface to walk the first 6 feet up from the water line. This is true for all of the boat-in sites at the lake this year - I've stayed at 4 different ones since the summer began.

Cool little campsites. Water is low but still accessible if you want to get a little muddy. Bring water if you can, pulling from lake definitely tastes like… well, lake.

The camping spot was clean and the area is beautiful. The pit toilets had great TP available and seem well maintained. Overall, if coming to the area again I would happily chose to camp here again and do recommend it.

There was insufficient signage indicating where the bum loop camp sites were located along the trail. With the trail being a loop there needs to be signs pointing telling hikers which way along the loop they should go to reach the campsites. The only sign that mentioned the bum loop campsites along the trail were pointing in the wrong direction. This needs to be fixed.

Booked Madrone Point, which is accessible from Liberty Glenn Campground, only to discover upon arrival that the Liberty Glenn Campground was closed. Therefore we could not access our parking area and therefore we could not access our campground. Absolutely no regard for stranding people - even my confirmation email said I could park there. No one answers the phone when you call the visitors center.
