Nikki the owner of the camp site was super responsive and accessible :). The campsite was beautiful and well kept as well as easy to find. Nikki was nice enough to offer us a different campsite at no extra cost because we were the only ones there for that weekend. Perhaps the winter weather drove people to stay at home but we experienced perfect conditions. We even ventured down to paddle kayaks and fish on the lake :)

The most beautiful spot that puts you above all of Sonoma. Breathtaking views whether it is the morning fog rolling in or the lights of the multiple cities you are above. Windy roads lead up to the property. Proceed with caution as spotted deer at all times of the day. Cannot wait to come back.

A beautiful spot to land just a short drive from the Bay Area. The views of the lake were mostly obstructed by low lying fog save for a few moments of sun during our stay. But all good...love the fog too. And during a holiday weekend in November, it was sparse with visitors. Just perfect.
This site is one of the more private and larger, level sites. Clean porta potties. Few short hikes right from the site. And a short walk/drive to the marina. We decided not to kayak this time but it was so peaceful on the lake. Probably a rare moment.
Not sure I would stay here in the prime camping season as the sites seem very close with little privacy and imagine the lake gets busy with boats and jet skis. But we'll surely be back again for late November through winter camping.

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!

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.

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.

We loved camping here! There is great access to the lake (~1 min drive) with boat rentals, beautiful sunsets, and even though we couldn't use the fire pits, Nikki provided propane fire pits for rent. There is also great access to great vineyards in the Dry Creek Valley! Our campsite (21) was large, and we managed to fit three cars and had plenty of space.

The winds was too intense for a campfire so the hosts offered an alternative for us. A propane fire pit. Trip saved!

We stayed at Site 1. It was a beautiful view and gave us a good amount of privacy with a large camp space. It was also relatively quiet and we even got to see a wedding happen! There were a few things that would benefit this space and experience: 1) The ground was very hard at this particular site and it was difficult to put our metal stakes in for our Springbar tent with several of the stakes bending. Next time I would bring different stakes. 2) There was one porta potty being shared across three or four camps sites with ours being the furthest away. It would've been great to have one at/or closer to the site. 3) With the winds kicking up, we felt uncomfortable having a fire as there's brush and twigs in very close proximity to the fire ring. The host assured us it was fine, but we were overly cautious as we use open fire cooking often and used our own judgement.
Ultimately, I would come back here again and book the same site. The host was very accommodating and even directly brought us our firewood and grate. We felt very safe and we loved being so close to the lake!

Great spot - site was fairly private - great views. It’s a very healthy walk to the lake downhill - I drove it and there was easy parking (day use fee). Nicky and Dave were great hosts!
