Located in the beautiful and scenic Noyo Harbor, the Sportsmans RV Park is a wonderful place to stay while fishing, kayaking, abalone diving, and many more activities available on the Mendocino Coast.
Places to stay are graded on a 0-100 scale. The higher the grade, the easier it is for travelers to find restaurants and things to do within walking distance.
This place is a hidden diamond in the rough. If you are looking for a secluded place where you want to keep to yourself then you should stay home. BUT...if you are looking for a friendly atmosphere, owners that go out of their way to make you feel at home, full hookups, a large deck that has chairs, a bbq to use and beautifully made picnic tables made by owner than this is your place. The beach is a short walk, rv spaces are a little tight but we pulled forward and set up behind our motor home. With so much to do and the beautiful, large deck by the sea...who needs the space by the motor home.

We got lucky and showed up on July 3rd with no reservation, and someone had just left for a family emergency so we got their spot! It's only $40 per night, with buy three get one free and weekly and monthly rates. The "park" has about twenty full hook ups that are nothing exciting... but the private dock/deck on the Noyo Harbor looking out under the bridge to the ocean IS ALL THAT!!!! People were fishing, sitting, eating, using the gas BBQs, and generally enjoying a great location! The boats coming in and going out are within 50 feet of the dock, and it's cheap entertainment! There is a private bathroom with shower and flush toilet. There is free Wi-Fi but no cable television hook ups. The other guests were great... no "druggies" living long term at this park. We walked to dinner at Silver's at the Wharf, and watched fire works with some really nice people. I almost didn't write this review because I'd like to keep this place a secret!!!

With many local restaurants serving fresh seafood right here in the harbor we have found it unnecessary to go to town for days. The hospitality is great the bathroom is clean with nice hot shower we couldn't have found a better place to stay. It's just a 2 minute walk to the dog friendly off leash beach (or just let your dog pull you there on your beach cruiser like us) We love this place & don't want to leave but we well return. Thank you Dusty, Linda, and the campground hosts Roger and Kim y'all are great!

This is not a fancy park with next to no amenities but we did have full hookups. It did have a bathroom which we did not use. There was very few people there when we were so we were able to fit in well but if there had been others we would have had trouble in our big rig. Boundaries to sites are very loose so again we were glad that there was very few people. The big deck over the river was really nice and we did try crabbing from there by caught nothing but it is a great place to sit and watch the boats. The harbour is a nice place with restaurants and tours avail. The public pier was nice but busy. The staff and owner were very accommodating. Fort Bragg seemed like a nice enough place but this spot down at the harbour felt more secluded and away from town.

Dusty and Linda own this little gem. Only about 10 rv spaces available-paved road-walk to ocean beach, Noyo River dock, nearby restraunt. Can be noisy at night due to barking of seals but that's nature for you.

Linda, Dusty and staff are very nice, friendly and help people. Because of them we will definitely come back and will recommend them to others. Park is very basic (no grass or trees) and spaces are small in width but everyone was very helpful getting us into our spot. There is a dog friendly, very clean beach a short walk away from the rv park and lots of restaurants. The park has a private deck with a BBQ that over looks the noyo river. We were able to sit there and watch the city fireworks for the 4th.

The best kept secret on the road along the Northern California Coast is the Sportmans RV Park in Fort Bragg.
Sportmans RV Park is clean, easy to get in and out, within the harbor and its fine restaurants, and as a bonus, owners Dusty and Linda, the two friendliest people in town. Even if you aren’t in Fort Bragg to fish, it’s conveniently located to the town and other attractions. The park is quiet with no noise from the highway, and within walking distance from several seafood restaurants in the harbor.
I have spent the last weekend of February in the Fort Bragg area as I begin my mini-snow bird trip from Central Oregon to Tucson every year for 8 years. I have stayed at many of the parks in the area, but have usually rejected a return stay because of various reasons. Unfriendly owners/managers, unkempt grounds, washrooms that seemed to be “temporarily” out of service or long-term residents that make me feel uncomfortable. Sportmans RV Park is my new home away from home in Fort Bragg. Rusty and Linda maintain a well-kept washroom/shower facility. Most RV parks are usually located near an airport, train tracks, or a noisy highway. Sportsman has none of these distractions. US-101 crosses the mouth of the harbor several hundred feet above on a bridge, but the sound isn’t really heard down below. You CAN hear the sound of an ocean buoy near the harbor entrance, but you have to listen carefully. (It’s very soothing if you listen carefully.) It's not very large, so book early during "the season".
Be sure to ask Dusty for a tour of his boat repair facility and take a look at some of his cool boats.

We have totally enjoyed the owners, Linda and Dusty Dillion. This RV park is very clean, friendly and quiet. There were some pot luck dinners on the dock and fresh abalone, salmon, rockfish and lingcod was just some of the great food that was enjoyed by all. We got to know other campers, some comercial salmon fisherman who were tied up by Dusty's rowing club and some locals who joined the feast. Their dock is awesome, we could watch all the Fort Bragg boats come and go from the harbor, while looking out of the mouth of the Noyo river into the Pacific Ocean. It is a very restfull place and there are lots of chairs on the dock where you can relax and read and enjoy the spectacular scenery & sunsets. We can walk to over 10 restaurants, 5 large party fishing boats, 4 smaller 6 pack boats. Just 300 yards upriver at Fort Bragg Marine you can rent kayaks and they have diving and fishing gear as well. There are two excellent restaurants right next door to Sportsmans RV Park. In the RV office they have a gallery with art , shells, shirts, caps, postcards, canned fish and much much more. You can walk to Main street Ft. Bragg and find all varitety of stores as well as, a movie theater and dvd/video rentals. The beach is only a block away. You can fish from the jetty, walk your dog on the dog friendly beach, have the kids play in the sand, fly a kite, and have a picnic. We dove for abalone just 200 yards out past the jetty and we both got our limits easily. The RV park is pet friendly, with a very clean restroom and shower and full 50 and 100 amp hookups. It really is a great rv park and the price is right too.

this facility is terrible, there is nothing to do, locate is horrible, facility is filthy and unsanitary. there is feces all around the park from cats and dogs. there is no trash area. the bath ROOM is tiny and does not meet expectations. there is mold factor in the bathroom. the hook ups are old. the water is bad, it comes out brown and stinks. (undrinkable) the facility is extremely small. and has nothing to offer. there is no views other then the Noyo river. There is nothing close to walking distance other then two extremely expensive restaurants and a dirty dog park. there is constant homeless people wandering though the park not to mention the intoxicated people that leave the restaurants yelling and screaming. i would not recommend this facility to any traveler.

Have stayed here many times. Close enough to walk to Starbucks, downtown or to watch the ocean waves. Dusty and Linda are great. Park is very small, which does not bother us at all. We like the location. No TV, but we do not come to FB to watch TV! Love to listen to the harbor noises, fog horn, wave bell, and sea lions.
