Doran Regional Park Campground

Stayed here for 2 weeks in early September in site 93. Can get windy and cloudy quick. A local told me October and November are best months here. Weather was excellent about 75% of the time. Definitely a few days of staying inside away from the wind and rain. Many trailers use generators so not super quiet.
For bigger rigs, I like sites 88, 90, 91, 92, 93, 96, and 104. There is room for tow vehicle next to trailer. 91 has a big tree that blocks the wind but takes up some of the view. Site 104 was my favorite. Looks out over the beach and trailer is positioned to block wind.
Shower is ok, plenty of hot water.
Starlink works great - could work and have Zoom meetings. T-mobile and Verizon hotspots also worked fine.

We reserved nearly a year in advance and got what I think is one of the best campsites.
Very scenic and the sound of the waves on the “beach” was nice.
Extra charge for dog and dump station. Not happy about that.
Very cold and windy.
Not walkable to anything.
Nothing to do in the area.
Fire pit too far away from RV parking site.
Oh well at least there is 4 bars of 5G!

My wife and I have wanted to camp here for a couple of years now but weren't yet comfortable with the "dry camping" experience. Some friends told us it was their favorite place to camp so we decided to give it a try for a couple of nights! Our campsite (#70) was spacious, quiet, and somewhat secluded. Beach access was steps away and the walking trails were very relaxing and enjoyable. We had such a great camping / hiking experience that we came home and booked four nights for the following month!!

This is a great little campground if you can get a spot. It is booked year round but we got a spot due to a last minute cancelation. Our site was spacious and we did not feel crowded in despite having neighbors on each side. This is a very dog-friendly campground, they even have an off-leash dog beach along the jetty campground. A word of warning though, the dump station is a bit tight to maneuver in an out of. We have a toy hauler and some of the tree branches were a bit low and the turns were tight for a 27' trailer.

We enjoyed our stay at site 87, in the Jetty campsite area, midweek in January. It's an easy drive from Highway 101. Our perfectly level site backs to Bodega Harbor with front row seats to kick back and watch the commercial fishing boats coming back in with their hauls of fish and crab and watch fabulous sunsets! A one minute walk from the campground is the miles long beach along Bodega Bay. A great spot to stay for a single night in transit or to settle in for several days. We had perfect reception to zoom in to meetings via the free wifi. After sunset, the campground was quiet during January. The bathrooms in the campground were adequately clean, but the day use area restrooms could use more frequent cleaning. It can be very windy here, so don't count on a campfire if winds are forecast. We are regular campers at Bodega Dunes (a State Park across the harbor from Doran Campground); Doran Campground is a very different but equally enjoyable experience and we will return.

We got really lucky by scoring a spot that must have just been cancelled because everyone around us said they had to book a year in advance. Worth it, though! A county-run campground on a spit of land jutting into Bodega Bay. Wonderful for kids. Every site backs to some sort of open space, whether they are dunes, beach, bay, etc. Sites are well spaced. Roads nicely paved for kids to cruise on. Beach/water on both sides. Water was flat when we were there, but there's supposedly decent surf on the south side. There's an off-leash dog beach about a 3-minute walk from our site. Each campground loop has a water fill spigot, trash and recycling. Dump station for the whole campground is a one minute drive away. No wifi but solid cell signal whole time (T-Mobile). Lax enforcement of generator quiet hours but spaces were far enough apart that it was eventually easy to tune out. There are minimal services in the area, it is fairly remote feeling, so come well stocked with groceries, gas, propane, and batteries charged.

This was our first time at Doran Regional Park. We stayed in the Shell campground site 10. The area was quiet except for the fog horn sounding a G# note every minute or so which wasn’t a problem. We will definitely be back as this was a great spot to hang out. We were en route elsewhere so only stayed 1 night. There are no hookups but plenty of sun for solar setups. There is a cell tower right at there at the park and data speeds were phenomenal on AT&T

Doran is my go to Beach camping spot in Sonoma County. Clean, easy access, nice Park Rangers, and always great Sunsets! The weather (as with any Beach campsite) can change rapidly, but I still would highly recommend this County Campsite. Bring warm clothing and firewood! You can also purchase some from the camp hosts for $10.00 dollars a sack.
