Petaluma Coast Guard RV Campground

This campground is located within the Coast Guard Training Center — Petaluma, and only available to eligible personnel affiliated with the military.

The sites are all concrete parallel pull-through with 30 amp power (dual 30A receptacles), water, two picnic benches per site, a fire ring, a dedicated trash can, and a manicured lawn. It is immaculate. There are six widely spaced sites. Any rig should be able to pull in with ease. The lake is adjacent and has picnic areas and a playground.

Reservations can be made online, but the sites are first-come, first-serve. There isn’t a formal check in/out process either (despite what the sign says). Just show your receipt upon request.

No sewage connections are provided. There is a dump station not far away, but it is on the wrong side and requires one to go down the road, turn around in a parking lot, drive back, and pull into the dump station while driving on the wrong side of the road.

Geese are quite numerous, with some turkeys and deer.

The campground is in a quiet corner of an already quiet base. There’s no traffic driving by, and speed limits on the base are very low anyway (15 mph here). No long term site rentals.
