Stayed there with our 23' Airstream for a quick weekend trip. Site is great with power and water and it's perched on a hill over Calistoga - about a 5 minute drive to town. Peter came out and gave us a quick tour of the site and a heads up on some of the local things going on in town for the weekend which were both appreciated. If it's your first trip and you are towing, there are parts of the road where you might say, "I hope those goes to the right spot," or "I really hope I fit..." - but all was good for my sized rig. You need to back in, but there is a loop on the site to get you turned back around for leaving. We are definitely keeping it the list of places to stay when we want to spend the weekend in Napa.

Very fun experience, definitely recommend if you have an RV/camper with a bathroom. 10/10. Louis was very helpful. Limited supplies nearby, so if you need something, probably bring it as most stores close early.

Weekend Trip to Sugarloaf Ridge State Park Glamping
We loved our glamping experience at Sugarloaf SP! The tent was spacious and cozy with comfortable beds and plenty of places to sit and hang out. We rented the heater which was much appreciated when the temp dropped and some rained moved in. We appreciated our first bundle of firewood. All of the staff was very friendly and quick to help out if we needed something. They also keep the bathrooms super clean and well stocked and a short walk from any site. The center of the campground being a beautiful meadow with lots of wildlife at night and clear skies show a perfect view of the starry night. We would definitely stay again.

Booked the RV site at the last minute. Jake was accommodating and provided all pertinent info prior to arriving to the site. It was really easy to get to the property in our campervan. Instructions were easy to follow to the site. Beautiful view of the forest surrounding you. There is a picnic table and benches in a huge open space but we had everything we needed from our van. Outhouse was as clean as it gets and not a far walk from our site. There were so many stars at night!

One of the coolest sleeping experiences I ever had. Would definitely do it again and recommend it. No showers or restrooms (porta potty was 5 mins walk tho) near by so more of a 1 or 2 night experience imo!

We had a wonderful stay at Sugarloaf and would return.
On the positive, the campsite and surrounding area were stunning, with plenty of space for our group and easy access to great hiking trails (both kid friendly and more strenuous). The staff was friendly and easily accessible. We came with two other families, each with two kids under six, and the little ones loved biking around, exploring, and playing hide-and-seek. Other campers were friendly and the vibe was laid back and easy.
A couple of things to watch out for: two of the three glamp tents could have been drier (site 29 & 30). The floor stayed a bit damp and there was a noticeable mildew smell; and the showers are coin operated, but worth it as they had good pressure, hot water, and consistently clean bathrooms. You can get coins from the visitor center so this wasn't a dealbreaker for us.
We’d definitely come back, maybe with a few extra socks, soled house slippers, and something like coffee grounds to deal with the mildew tent smell.

Perfect location for wine tasting. Beautiful location with lots of privacy and solitude. Peter was exceptional in his communication. PG&E were doing some road work and he offered to travel on his quad ahead of us to make sure the road was clear. We want to return!

I loved our glamping spot. The free complimentary firewood on the first night and free complimentary extra mattresses were nice for my family and I. the mountain views 360 all around were so pretty! It was also very shaded. We saw many deer, quail, and squirrel by our tent was a treat for my children. The restrooms were not horrible. There is also an observatory nearby so we got to view the stars at night. It was a pleasant trip. The glamp itself was nice and furnished, perfect for my family who usually have a very hard time camping in nature.

We had the most magical weekend here. The listing was accurate, Jake had clear signage for everything, and the deck made for the most cozy glamping situation. Would come back here in a heartbeat! The drive up from the Bay Area was gorgeous, and we stopped at Salt Point SP on the way back. The site felt private, and was nestled in a circular clearing of trees, so at night you could look up a direct pathway to the starry heavens :) Definitely recommend harvesting huckleberries for pancakes. Thanks for everything Jake!

Absolutely loved our stay among the redwoods! The tree net was cozy, peaceful, and unlike anything we've ever experienced. Woke up surrounded by nature and pure calm. Truly magical. The host was responsive and super helpful.

2 nights at Sugarloaf Ridge State Park Glamping
Great scenery from virtually every site, with shade, spacious level sites and parking, very clean and nice-smelling bathrooms and showers, easily accessible trails, lots of wildlife (deer, turkey, birds), and all in all a great first glamping experience for me! It will be hard to go back to a regular tent site again…JK. Friendly staff, and a bit ununusal ans a state park being operated as a collaborative of Sonoma Ecology Center and Team Sugarloaf. Great base for exploring by bicycle — we drove our bikes down to Kenwood and enjoyed riding around the area, all the way to Sonoma. Vineyards, small towns, both gentle and challenging bike route options. Or just relax and hike around the park trails. Thank you for a great getaway!

The best star host camping near Bodega Bay guide
Where to go
California’s North Coast
With its scenic stretches of sandy beaches and abundance of ancient forests, the North Coast gives California's other coastal gem—Big Sur—a run for its money. Stretching north of Bodega Bay up to the border with Oregon, this region is best known for its gargantuan Redwood trees, some of the largest of which can be found in the Redwood National Park.
Around Sonoma County
With its abundance of world-renowned wineries and adorable towns, Sonoma has long been a darling of weekend road trippers from the Bay Area. It's also a great place for sleeping under the stars, and the county's regional park system has over 200 year-round campgrounds.
The San Francisco Bay Area
Although most people associate the Bay Area with urban sprawl, this populated part of California also offers plenty of places to escape the city lights. You'll find campgrounds and trails galore just north of the city in Marin County, while east of Oakland is home to a mix of regional parks and even some wilderness areas.
When to go
Bodega Bay enjoys a temperate climate, and things never get too hot or too cold here, with summertime highs in the mid-80s and winter temperatures rarely dropping below freezing. Summers can be busy, when the weather is warm and dry. September is a good time to visit if you want warm weather without the crowds associated with summer vacationers, while October and November can be fun for harvest festivities.
Nearby attractions
A Stillwater Cove Regional Park camping trip invites you to a tranquil coastal escape. It's a quiet haven, offering sea views, forested trails, and campsites that encourage you to connect deeply with nature.
