Weekend Trip to The Ranch at Lake Sonoma

Camping at The Ranch was a great experience! The area is surrounded by several wineries, and there’s a nice 40-minute hiking loop if you want to get out and explore. You can also go horseback riding or head down to the marina for more outdoor fun. We stayed at Campsite 9, which had a beautiful view of the lake and plenty of space — enough to comfortably fit two cars, 3-4 smaller tents. There’s no potable water on-site, so be sure to bring your own. The portable restrooms were impressively clean, and the host was incredibly kind and welcoming. Overall, it was a relaxing and enjoyable stay, and I’m looking forward to coming back with my family next year!

Weekend Trip to The Ranch at Lake Sonoma

I enjoyed myself camping at site 20! It was my first solo trip and everything went incredibly smoothly. The portopotties were exceptionally clean! Almost as if they had never been used (a very rare site in most places lol). There were a couple trails nearby to hike and seeing the horses giving ride tours was a real treat. I just wish I had time to hang at the bar! That barn was so cool! In all, it was a pleasant experience

Weekend Trip to The Ranch at Lake Sonoma

Belated review, but this place is such a find. I needed a spot not too far from San Francisco along my drive from LA to Seattle, and most campgrounds were already booked. I snagged a site here, and I'm so glad I did. The campground is small and privately owned, and each site was spacious. Check the map to see the ones with the best views. The port-a-potties are pretty generously dispersed, so you don't have a long trek to a bathroom in the dark. The views are the best part. If you're going for that classic camping feel, like those scenes from old family movie nights, this is it. Quiet, no crowds, and plenty of nature. Bugs are often a part of the camping deal, but I didn't notice any when I visited mid-October. The hosts are, arguably, just as lovely as the views. They've clearly put their heart and soul into this place. They offer trail rides which are well worth the cost, and the horses are all very well cared for. 10/10, will definitely go back again.

Gorgeous site out in nature! The long bumpy driveway was quite difficult to get up, especially at night, but it’s worth the view. The grounds are artfully decorated and curated with intention. Very special place!

2 nights at Mandala Springs Wellness Center

The staff was amazing and super welcoming. Originally booked for a tent site, but due to weather conditions, decided we wanted a cabin instead. The staff thankfully accommodate us and upgraded our stay. It rained on and off during the entirety of our stay. But regardless, we were satisfied with all the activities and space that Mandala Springs provided to give us a peaceful and wholesome experience.

Great views, access to hiking and lovely hosts! Fire pits and firewood available to enjoy. Great stargazing!! Clean porto-potty's on site. The Marina is a very short drive (or simple downhill walk) for boat rentals. We enjoyed a few hours on a patio boat, some swimming and sight seeing on the lake. Best to reserved your preferred boat in advance for the best selection.

1 night at Mandala Springs Wellness Center

Mandala Springs was a last minute getaway on a crowded holiday weekend. The facilities were very clean - wonderful pool, clean bathrooms, and plenty of space to tent camp around the established cabins and glamping tents. I arrived after hours, but instructions were clearly stated at the office for setting up for the night. I didn't get the opportunity to enjoy some of the other offerings, like the swimming holes, paddle boats or mini golf, but what I did experience of the grounds and the hiking trails and meditation zones - complete with chimes - was lovely, well maintained, and very relaxing. It also seemed like the camp hosts regular events - smores bonfires, and shared meals - and I like the invitation to feel a sense of community and connection with others enjoying the space. The one thing I hadn't anticipated was that this family-friendly campground was particularly kid-forward on this holiday weekend, especially with very energetic and vocal young ones running throughout the camp - as late as 11pm and again at 6:30 in the morning. It held my experience back from being a truly peaceful getaway, but for the brief time of my stay, the pros outweighed the cons. I'd look elsewhere for a single or couples getaway campsite, but for those with kids looking for an easy getaway where they can roam freely, this seems like a good fit.

We enjoyed our first stay at Mandala. Very family friendly with lots of things to keep the kids busy and having a great time. We also enjoyed the clean bathrooms making it easy to wash up. Would be a great place to come back with friends!

We loved tent camping by the lake. The area was really lovely, 40 min to the Russian river, we enjoyed playing in lake Sonoma on the book ends of our trip. Would love to come back and hang with some horses, or enjoy a lake rental. Host was very accommodating and helpful.

This place really surprised me! Amenities galore, cleanest bathrooms and showers I’ve seen at a camping spot. This review is for a tent spot, where I was able to pick any available spot, which included electrical hookups if you needed it. There were many well maintained trails to explore, some with platforms to meditate or stretch, bench’s over nice overlooks, and lots of peace and quiet. The communal fire pit was a nice gathering spot in the evening to relax under the stars and listen to a musical artist sing and play guitar , if you’re lucky. I came on Labor Day weekend 2025 for just one night after the nearby Tour de Fuzz bike ride in Santa Rosa, but will probably lay be back before the next one. 5 stars!

Really excellent place to stay if you want camping with a hint of luxury. The pool was clean and the extra activities were really fun. I especially enjoyed using the hammock and the communal campfire.
