Nice views. Nice food in the area, especially at Terrapin Creek and Fisheterian. Definitely plan to go back.

The childhood memories of this place are engrained in my soul. We stayed in the cabins as well as a class C rv. I remember going crabbing and fishing on the pier that is now broken and off-limits. The pier boss, (Joe), knew my grandmother and would let us out there as long as we stayed out of the way. It was a private pier that processed the fish and crab from the boats. Joe and his crew would slide the fish heads/guts down a hole into the water where it would attract endless fish and crabs for us to catch. The original 'Mystery Spot' was on the hill to the rear of the main office and the store. It wasn't level and had a cannonball hanging by a chain that seemed to defy the laws of physics. I think it costed 10 cents to visit it. My grandfather would launch his boat and take us fishing. The limit of rockfish was 50 in those days. My grandmother would give me a quarter and I would walk up the trail to Deikman's store and I would come back with a little paper bag full of candy. The park was and still is beautiful to me. Close to Doran with it's rock wall jetty. Close to the many beaches to the north. Those of you who complain about the weather, the rv spots, the smell of the ocean, the old park, the prices, whatever. Go somewhere else to open a spot for those of us who know how to appreciate. My family and I will continue to enjoy Porto Bodega for as long as we can breath, drive, and walk. The price? You are staying on the water or very close to it, most with full hook-ups. Like anything and everything else, you pay the price if you want the product. I've never had a problem with the staff or owner. ! They've always been pleasant to us. We stay here in our 5th wheel wherever and whenever we can get a spot.

The reason people are willing to pay their insanely nightly rate is due to the fact that the location is amazing with the bay on one side and the marina on the other. Sites 17 & 18, 33-39 back up to the bay with water views and have full hook ups. Sites 40 & 41 back up to the Marina with full hook ups and Sites 42-54 do as well but are dry camping. Then there are the interior sites and although they are not right on the water, some still have water views, especially if it is not crowded. It is not a quiet place with fishing boats coming and going, which is part of its charm but the partying, especially during salmon season can get pretty loud and is not charming. Full hook up sites are $160 nightly with a $10 reservation fee and tax making the first nightly rate $192. With these steep of rates, the place should be better maintained. Cell service is decent and cable is included. Sites are not cleaned when people leave and on this recent trip, our campsite had dog crap all over, the fire pit was full of garbage and cigarette butts and the table was not clean. Fortunately Bodega Bay has many choices for camping with good locations, mainly Doran Beach. However it is all dry camping, so if you want full hook ups, a location on the water and walking distance to restaurants (there are two good ones right in the marina and Terrapin Creek, a Michelin starred restaurant is walking distance) you will have to pay the steep rate and people do as it usually is crowded. The office staff are nice when making reservations and checking in, but don’t expect them to do anything outside of that and forget complaining about any issues. They don’t care. But having said all of that, we occasionally like coming here to sit and watch the boats and the tide come and go and walk on the little beach at low tide. If it wasn’t for the price, we would come more often as we live only an hour away, but then again, it might be harder to get into.

We made the mistake of staying here on a holiday weekend. We arrived at 2pm Friday before a holiday weekend. We watched as spaces around us filled with campers who were together. At least 7 sites were together. Though they did not appear to violate the rule of a maximum of 6 in a site, they set up a central party unit. Drinking and games started daily late morning. As the day went on the noise got louder with guests unable to speak without yelling. By evening it was ridiculous. 15-18 people. Quiet time NOT enforced by Management. Called management first night to complain at 10:45. No response. Ruined our vacation and others staying. Some left early.

One of the worst campground experience I've had. $67 for dry camping. No quiet hours enforcement, drunken screaming and yelling until after midnight and generators fired up at 6:45 am. The inconsiderate person next to us decided that he needed a bigger site so when he parked his slide outs covered a corner of our picnic table and dangerously encroached on our fire pit. When I asked an employee who was walking around if the guy was parked too close, she replied "No, that seems pretty normal." To top it off, there's nothing to do within walking distance. Avoid this place if you can. I have no idea how this RV park has so many positive reviews.

We enjoyed our site even though there was no water view. Site and grounds were clean. Restroom were clean and it was a very short walk to the beach. We will be back.

Yes I would still stay here again, but the increase in price does not reflect any upgrades and care of the park has deteriorated.
The annoying speed bumps aren't necessary on the pot-hole covered entry road. Tight interior roads with campers parking their vehicles in the road in front of their rigs.
The office staff are delightful and the views spectacular. The spaces are very tight on mostly level asphalt and gravel. Utilities work well - 50 amp FHU is nice. Large fire pits take up most of the outdoor space. We couldn't have used ours as it was too close to the side of the rig.
At the new price I expected WiFi provided, but no. Also, our fire pit was full of trash when we arrived, cigarette butts on the ground. Landscaping is mostly kept up - but it was early in the season so they're probably getting caught up.
Disappointed to see the park isn't keeping up with their prices.

I really enjoy the Area and this is a very nice park to stay at. Last time we stayed here we were in site 33 on the water and the time before we were at site 1 near the bathrooms. Being on the water was not that exciting for me so I would be more than happy to save the $15 a night and stay in the 1 through 6 sites. Those have trees and are nice but you are not up against the "bay".
The water 33 site was just a flat spot on the gravel against the water. Must admit the view out the back window at night was very pretty with the lights reflecting off the water.
The problem I had at the number 1 site was the kids like to run up and down the hill and on occasion a few like to take short cuts with once one tripping over thus pulling out our power cord from the pedestal. For that site bring caution tape and run it around the bushes? Had no problem with smell or hearing anyone using the bathrooms so that was not a problem at all.
Both time when we were there in August the place was full and there was problems with them keeping up with emptying the garbage cans. Also a reminder that the Northern California coast has a good chance of being foggy in the morning, which is nice for those of us coming in from the central valley.
The people there are very friendly, it is close to a lot of things along the coast that are touristy. There always seems to be some sort of a festival going on. Further north Mendocino or Ft. Bragg bring you closer to the beautiful coastal views.

Great on site restaurants, and the staff was pleasant. Unlike other reviewers we were only able to get Wifi at the Club House or the restaurant. Easy access for Kayaking or walking around the Bay. Park became very busy on Friday but quiet time was followed by most.

I can't recommend this place enough. Bodega Bay as a whole is a cute little town with a tiny grocery store, a few restaurants and even more within a 30 or so minute drive to Santa Rosa.
Our spot on the site map didn't seem to back right up on to the water but it definitely did. We were able to toss our kayak right into the water behind our Airstream and go on day trips by boat to lunch. We saw seals coming to get scraps at the end of everyday from the commercial fisherman that docked at the marina.
The Wifi worked really well for us here and we were able to turn off our hotspots for once and download/upload files right off of their wifi.
Being right on the coast it was gloomy pretty much every day so the spots not having shade weren't suffering.
Do be advised that Google Maps had us drive through winding crop field roads to get here to avoid HWY 1 which everyone said would be difficult. Turns out, HWY 1 runs right along where the entrance begins and wish we had known how easy the 1 is to drive around this area. Google Maps fail as usual.
Porto Bodega is still on our list as one of our most relaxing, enjoyable campsites yet!
