Mendocino County Fairgrounds

Did our first shakedown trip close to home and Dolly, the park manager, was very accommodating and gracious. There seem to be a few full-timers but the RVs are all in good shape. I believe there's a shower and restroom, but we didn't bother using them. Parked under a tree and had a first hand view of mama birds feeding their babies--very cute! Boonville is a lovely small town with a handful of wineries and restaurants within walking distance. Be advised that some may not be open during the week, as they tend to open for tourists on the weekends. We liked the park very much and will definitely be back. It's more for folks who don't need a lot of amenities beyond full hook ups.

We stayed here on a Fri-Sun as a quick getaway when nothing else was available. While it's nothing fancy, it has full hookups and the camp host, Dolly, was great and takes pride in keeping everything nice and clean and has flowers planted to spruce it up a bit. There are some nice shady spots under some big oak trees if those are available, but otherwise it's just a grassy area, which was still fine. There were only a few other trailers there (it looked like a few of them lived there full-time), but that meant there was plenty of room for our son to run around and play. It's a great location to check out quaint little downtown Boonville - lots of wineries and tasting rooms nearby. There is also a farm next door where you can walk over to see the sheep and goats, which our 3 year old loved. The only downside is that there are no fire rings or picnic tables, so be sure to bring your own table of some sort. The public restrooms were closed due to COVID, so you just had to be self-contained.

Passing through one of our favorite wine areas in California. We saw a sign outside fairgrounds for RV Camping and decided to take a look for next time.

There are a dozen or so sites each with full hookups. A few have trees. Set back from highway for minimal traffic noise, but there could occasionally be noise from fairground events. Great location with hookups to taste the whites, pinots, bubbly and beer the area has to offer.
