Boat-in Sites (Lake Sonoma)

Great sites clean with park bench and fire pit I normally bring a 8 man tent and still have room for a bigger tent. Quiet isolated really I couldn’t ask for more. Bathrooms are in good condition just make sure to bring ur own mountain money.😦 plenty of trails to hike or hunt for pig and you can fish right at your site what more could you ask for at the price you get the site for. Personally I love Sonoma and it’s only 1:30 min drive for me. Five stars for me. Even on a bad day.

Great place for Crappie

Nice place

Site trash cans were not empty

I found the camp to be nicely laid out and the facilities good.

The weekend was crowded and noisy. Weekdays were beautiful. Fishing was great but I'm not telling where.
This was our first Boat-In camp adventure with kids and grandkids.
Definitely will do it again.

No shade at this spot, you have to walk up a little bit to get to to it. Beautiful view. You are on the path to the bathroom for other campsites

We'd planned on kayaking to a campsite within range of the Yorty Creek Recreation Area. I saw nothing online to indicate there would be a problem with this. However, when we arrived, we discovered that Yorty Creek was closed. I found nothing online about this. Local authorities had apparently decided that because there were picnic tables at Yorty Creek, it would present a COVID-19 risk for everyone (even people like us, who always wear masks in public and planned on avoiding people anyway).

I assume the one other entry point to Lake Sonoma was still open, but I don't know because we didn't bother visiting it. Kayaking from there to our reserved campsite would've been much too far. We were extremely disappointed at driving 120 mi just to waste a weekend. We wish someone had told us that Yorty Creek was closed, so we could've made other arrangements.

I had a wonderful time rowing, and camping at Loggers Camp. I rowed 26 mi, and was able to explore all navigable waters on the upper reaches of the Dry Creek arm of the lake, where I saw several Osprey, and two Bald Eagles.

We used our “boat in” site as a camp for backpacking around the west dry creek arm. We booked “Old Saw Mill”, but as we hiked closer, realized there was no water in the lake that far back- it would have been nice for the website to stay up to date on current conditions! So... we had to turn around and go back to Buck Pasture- not ideal when you’ve already Hiked 12 mi with a pack and have to go back! The campsite: while the sites are nice, a lot of trash around. There are garbage cans at each site, so clean up after yourselves people! Also, tons of yellow jackets (end of July) which was annoying. Loved the trails- mostly well maintained, and challenging (especially day 2) ! Saw a few wild boars 😬!
