We camped 2 nights over the past few days and the park was virtually empty. We hand picked out site, so of course we loved it! Most of the sites we saw were very large and very clean. As others mentioned there was plenty of hot water for showers (free). The bathrooms were a decent distance from the site we chose, but that is how I like it. We had a great time and with Bodega Bay right on the other side of the gate (there is a pass through near site 65), we just carried our kayaks and put in the water. It was fantastic. After kayaking we went to the marina and had grilled oysters and awesome clam chowder. Very fun trip. Definitely will go back!

We went to this last weekend and overall had a good time.

It's prolly on the better side of a typical state park campground with good facilities. Enough restrooms with running water - cold and hot! They also have free hot showers. We didn't face any issues with the folks at the gate or the host and they were as cordial as I would expect them to be. I think overall from a facilities perspective, it has it all.

Coming to it's location - this was my biggest complain at the end of the day. I didn't fancy it being so next to Bodega Bay to the point where from quite a few sites you could see road traffic. Psychologically, it just didn't feel like I am away from my regular world. On the positive side, it's just a 5min drive from the Sonoma Bay State Beach which we ended up visiting.

The sites themselves were not necessarily big and as they are allocated upon arrival, it makes sense to get there in time to get the better ones.

I've gone here as long as I can remember to camp. The beach is near (but they've recently made it so you have to walk long ways! ugh) and amazing. My family and best friend had a blast building a drift wood fort on the beach. Where I stayed, the bathroom was through a path and it looked like any site you were at, there was a nearby bathroom with hot, free showers. The lady up front was very kind and very helpful! Can;t wait to go back next week.

When a group of us decided on a camping vacation on the coast we started looking around. We love the Bodega Bay area so we checked around and carefully read reviews.
We read about the skunks and raccoons (never saw, heard, or were victims of them), we read about an unpleasant person at the gate (all the people were wonderful), basically we went into this knowing it might have some pitfalls...and boy were we pleasantly surprised.
We arrived on a Friday afternoon (with two campsites reserved) and got two campsites right next to each other. The bathrooms were close no matter which site you ended up in. The areas were open and semi private- perfect to be able to watch our kids roam. We pitched our tents, set up camp and made dinner while the kids played. We were up after the 10 pm curfew, we weren't loud but we also weren't silent- never had any problems. No campers at any camps in our section were obnoxious or loud.
We were "pleasantly" awoken at 6:13 each morning by an obnoxious Raven however!
We had a great time at local beaches. The kids ran around in the surf, played in the sand, we had a kid and adult football game going, and were treated to hours of dolphins frolicking in the surf.
We went into town for last minute supplies and found everything we needed and on our way out of town ate at the Spud Point Crab Co- EXCELLENT, by the way.
The bathrooms at the campground were clean, showers nice- everything is no frills as it is a state campground and budgets have been cut, so remember your soap and paper towels for the bathroom.
The staff came by often to empty the trash cans, keep an eye on the goings on and to wave a friendly hello.
I know everyone has their own experiences so I hope anyone else that goes there has a great time like we did.
Oh, great place to let kids ride their bikes, there are sandhills they love playing on and trees to climb. We had a wiffle ball and bat, as well as soccer and the kids and adults loved playing pick up games.
