The best luxury RV campgrounds near Berkeley, California

The college town of Berkeley is quite convenient to the bigger Bay Area cities. Oakland's about 20 minutes south, and San Francisco's about 1 hour to the southwest. Its position in central California creates extremely mild temperatures year-round. Expect highs to range from the mid-60s to mid-70s in all but the winter months.

Tilden Regional Park in the East Bay makes an excellent destination for a local camping trip. The Wildcat View campsite features good terrain for group tent camping. Take a dip in the park's small Lake Anza or picnic on its beach.

Are you looking to get in some challenging hiking? Drive about an hour east of Berkeley and explore Mount Diablo State Park. Take the 13.1-mile Mitchell Creek to Diablo Summit loop trail. It's a tough ascent recommended only for experienced hikers. You'll be rewarded with an excellent view of Marin County from 3,848 feet.

The 7.8-mile Mitchell Canyon-Eagle Peak Loop is another difficult hike. Steep sections and little shade mean you'll get a tiring workout on this one! Not feeling quite that ambitious? Try the Curry Point and Balancing Rock trail for a considerably easier 4-mile hike.

Note that poison oak is pretty prevalent in this region. It's generally a good idea to cover up exposed skin if you're traipsing around in the undergrowth.

After a week in the bustle of Carmel and Carmel Valley we needed a quiet place to stay going north. A three plus hour drive to the ranch was enough. Having a perfect place to camp by ourselves and not having to deal with anyone was ideal. A few cows came up the fence and checked us out. The night was dark and very quiet and being treated as a capable adults and taking care of ourselves was ideal. Will definitely stay there again.

The staff were very helpful and polite. I only wish they would mention on their website they no longer provide fire rings. You will have to bring your own if you want to have a fire. The pool was clean and everyone seemed happy to be there. Note to self. We will make sure to place our RV the farthest point possible away from the road. We could hear cars whizzing by at night.

We were backed right to the slough with our own boat dock if needed. Water front within 25'. Definitely a cool getaway, within 60 miles of Sacramento. This place is totally pet friendly with numerous poop stations and a fenced in dog park. During our stay, they had done tacos, breakfast burritos, and a movie night. During the day on Saturday they had a jet ski show as well! Campsite are side by side with full amenities water, sewer, and electric. Some spots have better shade, however we will know what we're looking for at the next opportunity to come out!

We camped at Canyon Creek for a relaxing little getaway. The setting was peaceful, and the small on-site store was a nice surprise we even found these fun, colorful drinks that added fun vibes. We were a bit disappointed that the hot tub was out of service, since that was one of the main reasons we booked. The pool was a nice backup, though it could use a debris catcher to keep it cleaner. The Wi-Fi worked for basic browsing, but not for streaming. Overall, we enjoyed the stay and would go back just better prepared next time.

We camped there with our 30ft Class C for just one night. Great things about the place; quiet and pretty ( nice trees and grass, surrounded by cornfields on 3 sides and the river on the other.) A great wall of blackberries, fresh for the picking. Swimming pool was a nice feature, camp host was great. Not so great, hot tub not very hot, pool could be cleaned. Nothing fancy, but a nice place.

Very good RV resort with all the needed amenities, they even had game room and lot of fun activities for kids too. Kid friendly place as I saw lot of family around. The restrooms need a bit of upgrade though .it has a nice river dock across the street . Don’t have any stores nearby but uber eats will deliver food and groceries

The campsite is good. I’m grateful we had access to the pool, the creek is right next to the campsite, which is amazing if you like to sleep with water sounds. There is just one table, and one water access (hose) for all the campsites. I think that the price is okay just because it has the pool, otherwise is a bit expensive. They mention they will improve the campsites in the next month. I’ll be happy to go back.

Weekend Trip to Stemple Creek Ranch

We always wonder why we would pay more than twice what others sites charge for very few amenities compared to the others. And it comes down to peace and quiet. No car noise. No boom boom music. The smell of the grass. The proximity to coastal and inland towns to explore. And the cooler weather. So while it's clearly the most expensive HipCamp we have ever splurged on (and we've been to a lot), we will likely continue to come back here and there. Just wish there was a porta potty at the site vs the trek down the hill. You really have to plan ahead for the walk.

Perfect spot for a quick mid-week overnighter. I had the grove all to myself and enjoyed the peace and quiet. It was quite windy during my stay, so I had to park outside of the grove proper to avoid any falling branches. Was still pretty to be around. The washroom facilities are a far walk from the site, with that I'd say this site is best for fully self contained campers.

The site we stayed in was nice and quiet, under trees and near the bathrooms (as requested). The majority of people there were in much larger rigs with sewer set up - we just used shore power. Check in was quick and easy and the bathrooms were clean and well stocked. We only stayed one night and left early the next morning so didn't use much other facilities. The only thing I'd warn others of is how quickly the entrance came up - and it's very steep - so pay attention.

We had a wonderful stay at this campsite. The views are absolutely stunning, and the bathroom was clean and well-maintained. Amy is incredibly kind, responsive, and accommodating. The campsite itself is private and peaceful. We also enjoyed using the tennis court during our stay. It can get a bit windy up there, but the view makes up for it. Highly recommend.

Very friendly hosts. They had a grill and some pretty cool chairs that looked at epics views. Could see the sierra mountain range from my tent view which was epic.
