Dont leave you truck at the parking l had my soft topper camper shell sliced up with razor blade so they could steal a couple tie down straps and a shovel

It's always amazing, only pit toilets but if you can deal with that the camping is unparalleled, sites are almost always available for boat in, been canoe camping there for years and it is always a blast

I really enjoyed camping at Skunk campground, the late was "full" at ~250,000 level. The temps were in the 90s, and the water was 78f which made swimming perfect. We paddled from Yorty creek 3mi over to Thumb campground and continued to Skunk. Being in no-wake zones the water was smooth and paddeling easy. Crossing the between the arms is a no-water ski zone with a 50mph limit, but the 3 boats we saw kept their distance. Only one time around Rustlers campground did we have a boat come in blaring loud music, the rest of the lake especially out by Skunk and Thumb was very quiet and calm.Thumb itself was busy with about 6-8 kayaks, and the camp sites are small and pretty close to each other, and rustic is the right term. They're dirt and I'm not really sure if all of them have a flat spot for a tent. It's nice they have garbage cans, picnic tables (some in better repair than others) and toilets If it was a busy weekend it would suck if you happen to pick a lowsy site, especially since there aren't any picures of site or any way to judge of 1, 2 or 3 are "good" when booking.Given it quiet, and seeing Skunk was empty and 200 feet away we packed up and paddled over to it instead and had the whole campground to ourselves. We had to move sites as we found a yellow jacket nest in the ground about 10 feet away from the table.It was incredibly fun to go swimming, quiet paddling, etc. BUT if it was busy and you can't spread out, or a jerk pulls in blasting thump thump music it can kind of ruin your stay....

Excellent place for boat-in camping. Loggers Camp was great. Be aware no trailers allowed at the Yorty creek entrance.

@MonicaS3433522 · Camped on Aug 31, 2024 at Campsite #QS04

My campsite was some how double booked. Booked two sites to not have neighbors but ended up sharing the area with another family

@MadalynB2B70B2 · Camped on Aug 31, 2024 at Campsite #RS02

At these sites RS 1&2 just know that you are hiking to the other sites for the hot box toilets. It would be nice if they could put one more convenient to these sites.

@KevinS8513228 · Camped on Jul 27, 2024 at Campsite #MP01

Perfect

We love Lake Sonoma but the army corps is not taking care of the camp sites. They did not collect the trash. I had to yell at them to get actionTrash was all over several campsites.The toilets were not serviced and they were in severe disrepair.They did not enforce any kind of camp quiet time. We had a party going until well after midnight one evening with loud music.They are not managing the lake. We had several nights with wake surfers on the water after dark with speakers blaring.

@AlexG3369952 · Camped on Jul 13, 2024 at Campsite #SK12

Awesome quiet camping sites

@SaraGDCDBE8B8F · Camped on Jul 7, 2024 at Campsite #RS04

Beautiful lake and short boat in ride. I went after 4th of July and the grounds were full of trash and the bathrooms were very dirty. Im guessing if you go when there hasnt been a holiday it would be better kept.

@AnastasiaEB36C · Camped on Jul 3, 2024 at Campsite #SK05

I lost my grandmothers WW2 wedding band while swimming near to SK01 site. Its a rose gold thick band. Please if you find it, well talk reward. (Ana . Maynich @ gmail) this ring means a world to me. Also, this is one of my favorite boat in sites! Highly recommend it.

@AlisonCC79CADB · Camped on Jun 28, 2024 at Campsite #BM01

Weve camped two spots in the last month and had to kick people out of our site each time. We get there after work on Friday and want to set up and chill and have to wait for people to tear down and move. Plus, its very awkward. Also, this last visit, the toilets were full. Otherwise, it was peaceful.

@PaulN9067997 · Camped on Jun 22, 2024 at Campsite #MP01

This was an unusual solo experience. The shoreline campsites of Lake Sonoma are familiar to me, but I know them from mountain biking the Lake Sonoma trail system. The campsites here are next to the shire and have flat tent sites on them with a fire pit and metal picnic tables The pit toilet was cleaned and had plenty of paper. The thing that is not nice about Lake Sonoma during high season are the power boaters who seemingly drunkenly ply the waters with every variety of music at the. Loudest Possible VOLUME! This didn't stop until past 9pm on the water and about 10:30 from the next campsite over (who came in with two boats).After that it was wonderful. Also there was a lot of trash in the campsite due to previous bad campers and evidence of drunken activities.

@Kimberly518091 · Camped on Jun 14, 2024 at Campsite #TH8

Lake Sonoma was lovely. It was our first time camping at Lake Sonoma, so we were going in blind. The site we reserved had a very small tent pad, and had a very steep drop to the side. We made it work, and actually ended up really enjoying it because we were able to watch some unusual bird activity one morning right from our tent - about 30 woodpeckers and other birds feeding on an insect hatch. We originally thought we would pitch two tents, but when we realized how small the tent pad was we had to go back to the launch (where there is cell service) and reserve a second camp site. Lesson learned, but none the less we really enjoyed our stay.

@JeffN3539947 · Camped on May 30, 2024 at Campsite #MP06

Love this spot! Madrone 4-5-6 are perfect as it has coverage. 1-2-3 are not covered at all so I'd priority 4-5-6. It's like 50 yard hike up a hill but totally doable, just took some time/muscle to get all our gear off the boat and up to sites. But great because it has two long benches connected so we could eat together. Decent flat areas for tent setup and the bathroom was uphill away from all the sights which was nice. A night little spot to jump off into the water as well. I'd recommend!

@WevinaR71C4295 · Camped on Jan 14, 2024 at Campsite #MP02

The Troop had a great camp out and will plan to go back again in the fall. Thank you.

@MichaelC616917 · Camped on Oct 6, 2023 at Campsite #LG5

Campsites were very clean, well stocked, and had a nice mix of shade and open sky.

@MeghanB1267283 · Camped on Sep 22, 2023 at Campsite #LP04

So beautiful! I was in Lone Pine 04 with a few friends and there was a good place to dock your boat, a fire pit and chemical toilets. The stars were beautiful and the steam coming off of the lake in the morning was serene! I would be aware that there were a lot of yellow jackets all over the site which led to us spending a lot of time on the water during the day.

@ElenaR180552C2 · Camped on Aug 15, 2023 at Campsite #TH9

Had an amazing time. Definitely wish people cleaned up all their bits of trash better. Even found a trash bin inside the lake, perhaps only recently recoverable due to winter rains though. All in all super beautiful, lots of birds, and I'd return! Love having a section of the lake without motorized vehicles.

@AmandaW2167129 · Camped on Jul 23, 2023 at Campsite #BP13

The campsite was really beautiful but within 10 minutes of being there we saw multiple ticks crawling on us, the tables, and the ground. We decided not to camp there. When we got home I brushed many ticks out of our dogs fur and found dead ticks in our beds and on my niece the next day.

@SteveH6337222 · Camped on Jul 20, 2023 at Campsite #BP04

Site was not ready to open. Table was still in the lake. We were able to move it ashore. Trash can was near full.Toilet did have adequate TP.

@PaulG9606243 · Camped on Jul 19, 2023 at Campsite #BUM2

We enjoy camping at the Bummer Peak camp, there are only two sites, it's about an hour to hike in, there's no water so you have to carry it in. But it's peaceful, has great views, and you can hike 600' down to the lake for a swim. The campsites have a table, fire ring, and a lantern/food hanging pole. Hang your food as there are sometimes raccoons. There are also potties, and garbage cans. It's a short drive for us, and a short easy hike in, but the best thing is we usually have the place to ourselves.

@AlmaB59E28B046 · Camped on Jun 30, 2023 at Campsite #BM03

Signage is terrible. Posts don’t have # and the map online doesn’t match location of site

@SabrinaL1B99E7 · Camped on Jun 17, 2023 at Campsite #QS05

Great Campground! The hike in is very short but steep.

@JohnL4419148 · Camped on Jun 13, 2023 at Campsite #QS01

I never stayed because I did not have a boat to access campsite. I had to stay at another campsite for $35.

Thanks to all our Supporting Members

@BranJen - Santa Clara, CA

I wanted to thank you for this site and especially for the notifications feature. Thanks to your site and my subscription I was able to book a campsite I've been annoyingly trying to book for 5 years unsuccessfully. So thank you.

@Wondering - Oregon

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado

I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
