This is a very popular campground and, at $45 a night, it is the most expensive in the area. About half of the campsites, the $45 a night ones, are situated so that you back your rig right up to the edge of the beach. Although these campsites are arranged in a parallel fashion within a few yards of each other, they provide more privacy than you would think because of the unique way the shrubbery has been planted between the campsites. In any case, these campsites are much prized by RVers and nearly always are occupied. Therefore, if you want to be right on the beach in this campground, you must make a reservation well in advance of your visit.

On the other hand, the campsites that are not on the beach (the $25 ones) are still pretty nice and one or more of them are likely to be available in the off season and during week days in the winter months.

This extensive beach is great for hiking and one can fish from the shore for perch in the summer. Party boats for salmon in the spring and rockfish all year long are available in Bodega Bay.
