We are so happy we became members here! It is an initial fee to join then yearly dues after that. However we are guaranteed a spot with little notice. Unlike all the other local places we used to go growing up that are now overbooked for months in advance. Great campsites with full and partial hookups. Nice private spaces. The staff and members have all been exceptionally friendly and pleasant. Al... We are so happy we became members here! It is an initial fee to join then yearly dues after that. However we are guaranteed a spot with little notice. Unlike all the other local places we used to go growing up that are now overbooked for months in advance. Great campsites with full and partial hookups. Nice private spaces. The staff and members have all been exceptionally friendly and pleasant. Also, no issues with undesirable groups making noise too late. The access to the Russian river is great and one of the nicest spots on the river that leads out to the coast. Great kayaking and fishing spot!
