Yerba Buena Camp

I planned a big group camping weekend for my Adventure Guides crew at River Bend Resort in late October 2025 (about 100 dads and kids total) and let me tell you, George, Michelle Evan and Mark absolutely *rolled out the red carpet* for us.

I planned a big group camping weekend for my Adventure Guides crew at River Bend Resort in late October 2025 (about 100 dads and kids total) and let me tell you, George, Michelle Evan and Mark absolutely *rolled out the red carpet* for us. I reached out in August (short notice for a fall weekend that size), and they not only made it happen but did it flawlessly and at a discounted group rate to make it affordable for our young familes. From the moment we arrived, everything just clicked. The cabins were spotless, cozy, and surprisingly spacious - we had anywhere from 2-5 people in each, and everyone was comfortable. The canvas tents held up beautifully, even through a night of heavy rain... warm, dry, and cozy the whole time. What really sets River Bend apart from the other “Googleable” campgrounds in the area is its intimacy and natural beauty. It’s tucked into the redwoods along a stunning stretch on the Russian River - peaceful, personal, and picturesque - without the noise, crowds, or chaos you get at the bigger, more commercial sites nearby. You can feel the pride and care that George and Michelle (the owners) put into every inch of the property; it’s clear they love this place and the guests they host. The staff went *above and beyond* for our kids (tractor rides, outdoor movies, opening up large indoor areas during the rain etc.) and somehow balanced giving us space to do our thing while always being there when we needed something. They delivered firewood to our sites, brought out electric pumps for our rafts, and made sure every little detail was covered. Even ordering food to the campsite was easy and having the Russian River Pub next door wasn't too shabby either ;) and having playgrounds, an arcade, and wide open areas gave the dads peace of mind knowing the kids could roam safely. It also was nice that the RV park is on the completely other side of the property, so camping/RV are mutually exclusive giving the camping space a GREAT vibe. Every site had its own firepit, the decorations were charming, the facilities were spotless, and the vibe was just perfect... laid-back, family-friendly, and full of heart. Our crew couldn’t stop raving about how easy and fun the weekend was, and honestly, I can’t think of a single thing that could’ve gone better. River Bend Resort is a hidden gem - a beautiful, well-run, *intimate* slice of redwood heaven on the river. We’re already planning to make this an annual trip. Massive thanks to the whole team for making lifelong fans out of all of us. 10/10. Can’t recommend RBR enough!

My wife and I have been living at Rivers Bend Resort in our 5th wheel for the past year (long term resident), and we couldn’t be more grateful for the experience. Whether you’re looking for a short camping trip or a long-term stay like we were, this place is an absolute gem. The location is peaceful, beautiful, and perfectly situated along the river — ideal for relaxing, fishing, or just enjoying... My wife and I have been living at Rivers Bend Resort in our 5th wheel for the past year (long term resident), and we couldn’t be more grateful for the experience. Whether you’re looking for a short camping trip or a long-term stay like we were, this place is an absolute gem. The location is peaceful, beautiful, and perfectly situated along the river — ideal for relaxing, fishing, or just enjoying nature. The grounds are well-maintained, with clean facilities and a welcoming atmosphere that truly feels like home. What makes this resort stand out even more is the incredible family that owns it. They’ve been nothing but kind, responsive, and genuinely great people to interact with. That goes for every employee we've met also — friendly, professional, and always willing to help. We’ve stayed at a number of long term RV locations over the years, and this one is hands-down our favorite. If you're considering a stay here, it's highly recommended. Whether you're just passing through or looking for a more permanent spot, you'll find everything you need.

My daughter and I took a spontaneous weekday trip to River Bend Resort on the Russian River, planning to stay for just a night or two. We ended up extending our stay to a full week—and we’re so glad we did. Despite the campground being fully booked, the staff worked with us to find available spots each night, and we moved around a few times without issue. For the last two nights, we stayed in one... My daughter and I took a spontaneous weekday trip to River Bend Resort on the Russian River, planning to stay for just a night or two. We ended up extending our stay to a full week—and we’re so glad we did. Despite the campground being fully booked, the staff worked with us to find available spots each night, and we moved around a few times without issue. For the last two nights, we stayed in one of their glamping cabins, which was a perfect mix of comfort and outdoor charm. What really stood out was the level of care we received from the manager, Evan. He went out of his way to make sure we were accommodated throughout the week, and more importantly, made sure my daughter had the best camping trip of her life. His kindness and attention made all the difference. River Bend is more than just a place to stay—it’s a place where people genuinely care about your experience. We’ll definitely be coming back.

Stayed long term in the RV park Absolutely amazing staff. Especially Natalia and Molly. Always so so kind and helpful with any questions we had. Also got maintenance to help whenever needed (ie tree trimming). Our stay here has been one of our favorites! Beautiful weather every day (rain or shine) and we loved the feel of the RV park... Off Pacheco Pass it was so calm and quiet in a little forest... Stayed long term in the RV park Absolutely amazing staff. Especially Natalia and Molly. Always so so kind and helpful with any questions we had. Also got maintenance to help whenever needed (ie tree trimming). Our stay here has been one of our favorites! Beautiful weather every day (rain or shine) and we loved the feel of the RV park... Off Pacheco Pass it was so calm and quiet in a little forest. It was a short walk to Casa de Fruta's other businesses and about 2 hours to anything you'd want to do! Great central location. Family stayed in the cabins and hotel. The hotel was very nice and also quiet. The real star was the cabins. Beautifully handcrafted and still smelled of wood. Perfect for families with kids to stay at. The only issue we ever had was the occasional power outage, but it was due to PG&E outages, nothing of Casa's fault. Great place to stay! Especially during the week. We look forward to visiting again someday.

Will have to update as we go we are here for 11 days and so far the customer service is less than admirable. When we arrive somewhere I normally stay with the truck and RV in case it needs to be moved, the office staff scolded my wife because I did not come in and check us in because the reservation was in my name, she had my wallet and ID bust still was all in her face about it’s the rules and s...

When we arrive somewhere I normally stay with the truck and RV in case it needs to be moved, the office staff scolded my wife because I did not come in and check us in because the reservation was in my name, she had my wallet and ID bust still was all in her face about it’s the rules and she has to follow the rules. Spacing between RV’s close, my slide is within 6 inches of my neighbors slide. Good thing is that you park back to back so you are not looking at your neighbors sewer drop. 5G connectivity 5 bars inside the RV

We are a club that has been coming to this park for years even though the facilities have been going down hill. We had a contract that included the use of the club house with the 30 sites booked. Three weeks before our event, that we booked months ago, They decide we could not use the club house and if we wanted the smaller club house we woul need to pay $500 a day!

We had a contract that included the use of the club house with the 30 sites booked. Three weeks before our event, that we booked months ago, They decide we could not use the club house and if we wanted the smaller club house we woul need to pay $500 a day! They would not discuss this at all. Our rally events counted on the club house especially given the rain forecast. Very disappointing. And we felt disrespected through out the process.

After years of camping at Casa De Fruta RV the new management/ownership are rude. After paying for our campsite a whole year in advance like have been for years. They office staff gave our stop away to someone else.. and on our first night the office would not leave us alone about our truck being parked next to our trailer and in the morning they had us removed from the campground.

They office staff gave our stop away to someone else.. and on our first night the office would not leave us alone about our truck being parked next to our trailer and in the morning they had us removed from the campground. This place has turned into a joke. I don’t recommend camping there.
