Sugar Loaf Ridge State Park offers a delightful glamping experience for campers looking for a mix of comfort and nature. The tents are spacious and well-equipped with comfortable beds, and the park is filled with friendly wildlife, making it a treat for families and nature enthusiasts. The park staff and hosts receive high praise for their helpfulness and maintaining clean facilities, though some visitors have noted minor issues with tent zippers and the need for improved bathroom cleanliness. Despite these small hiccups, the park's beautiful surroundings and accessible hiking trails make it a popular choice for many.

Swapped our site- otherwise nice

We had a good time at the campground, but unfortunately our trip was overshadowed the first night and morning by the managers switching our campsite (which was a more expensive glamping site) to a less desirable one before we arrived. They did it to accommodate a group being close together, but it felt disrespectful and wrong when we booked the campsite first a long time ago and were given no choice in the matter. They comped us after we went to the office and brought up the issue, which was really nice, but I would have preferred to have the campsite I had chosen in the first place. I also hate confrontation and felt a little embarrassed afterward to go into the general store, so that also marred things a little for me. Still, the campsite is beautiful, the host was really nice, and we went on a great hike, right from the campground. As long as they stop swapping people's carefully chosen campsites without asking, I'll recommend this place.

Loved our Glamping Trip to Sugar Loaf Ridge State Park. Everything very nice except I have two requests. We had a party of three at the glamping tent with 3 cars and another picnic table would have been very convenient. The other request is a dishwashing station with hot water. Many are camping in TV's and have access to dishwashing. But if your camping washing dishes can be a real challenge. But a great park and a great trip. Hope to go back soon!

These glamping sites are awesome. Well equipped and furnished. Beautiful little state park with lovely waterfall nearby!

This spot was wonderful. The bed is comfortable, the tent is spacious, and site 4 was definitely the best of the glamping bunch. The tent gets morning sun, but most of the site stays cool and shaded throughout the day. Note that there's a huge open space between sites 3 and 4, so they would be great to rent together for a large group. The park staff were very friendly and helpful, the showers were warm with decent pressure, and the bathrooms were clean. And the hiking was fantastic! They have a waterproof map you can buy at the visitor center for about $7 that's better than the free one (well worth it), and the free one has descriptions of the hikes including length, elevation changes, sun cover, vegetation, and views. Overall the stay was peaceful and just what we wanted. Highly recommend!

Such a lovely spot! Really enjoyed our stay glamping at Sugar Loaf. It was perfect for my two kids (5 and 2) and they had such a nice time! The nature was great, we saw deers and turkeys on our small hike to the creek and up the hillside. The toilets and showers were clean. Would definitely come back again!

1. Sugarloaf Stars (Camp Site 30)
Our Tent Cabin had comfortable beds that kept us warm, dry and cozy during our 3 night stay at Sugarloaf Ridge SP, while our sons stayed in campsites nearby. There are many trails around, including a "Planet Walk" where you'll learn about our solar system and planets' relative distances from the sun. We saw waterfalls, lots of flowers, mountain vistas during the day, the stars and an almost full-moon at night. Friendly Volunteers help Park Workers lovingly maintain the beautiful campground and its many trails. There are small outhouses near each site; and, clean bathrooms and showers with hot water (a Quarter buys 5-minutes) at camp. Historic wineries (Kunde, Chateau St. Jean, Ledson, etc.) and many good places to eat are nearby. It was a lovely way to spend Spring Break with our family!

Great waterproof cozy tents with an outlet. Fire wood was staked and waiting for us. 2 chairs by the fireplace. Easy lovely camping with a nice host that checked in to see if we needed more lighting or anything.

We stayed in one of the glamping sites and it was terrific! The bed was really comfortable and cozy. We had a visitor scratching at the canvas at 3 am. Likely a fox from what Steve, the camp host said. He was really nice and a wealth of information.
We did the short hike to the waterfall that is currently dry. We could still hear the water running behind the falls though. A sweet little doe followed us for some of the hike and we saw her again with another doe and a small buck.
The only downside was the cleanliness of the bathrooms and showers. It was an issue with the campers that were staying there rather than the site itself. People should have respect for others. Simply flush the toilets and don't clog the sinks with garbage-- not a big ask. It didn't ruin our time though and we would definitely stay again!

Was a lovely site. The tent was perfect, along with the beds and all. There is a water source just in front and a short walk to the bathroom. We really enjoyed it and might come back again!

Sugerloaf Ridge is a very beautiful spot with many peaceful wild animals (turkeys, deer, quail, squirrels and the occasional skunk) and bird songs and insects chirping that I don't often hear closer to civilization. The bathrooms are well-maintained and the team that runs the place is responsive, helpful and pleasant. The actual glamping facility is not exactly worth the price, however. The tent was quite old, the zipper was broken and the makeshift stick-on velcro that added wouldn't stay shut; fortunately there weren't many biting insects around and they actually have pheromone traps around the camp sites so we didn't get bitten. The fire pit was nice and we had some lovely campfire times.

It was a perfect way to go camping without having to pitch my own tent. The bed was comfortable and the adirondack chairs were a nice touch. Also had firewood already stocked. The park is beautiful with lots of hiking, warm showers (quarters needed), and helpful park staff. The Wi-Fi is only available at the Visitor Center and it's spotty at best and paying for it doesn't guarantee you will actually have it, so check with the visitor center staff first. Will definitely go back.

The glamping tents at Sugarloaf are a real treat. It’s such a well managed park and a beautiful campsite tucked in a meadows valley against a ridge. We arrived in the late evening and had a little trouble with our tent but before I even had a chance to go find someone the camp host came by and was able to help us. He apologized profusely about it even though it was a minor issue and made sure to check on us again the next day. The site is comfortable with chairs, a fire pit and a lovely wood holder. It’s a high fire pit so we were able to enjoy a fire even in October without worrying too much. There are water spigots all around. Hosts are present and helpful. The bed is incredibly comfortable! Tons of stars. And although our first night was a little noisy it was because we were audience to a very successful hunting Great Horned Owl, which is pretty cool. Can’t wait to “glamp” here again.

Overall this was a great campsite, plenty of fire wood clean. The zipper on the tent was broke, yet was still closable by Velcro. One of the chairs is also broken. Just a couple of things to fix, yet all else was good.

Sugarloaf. Ridge State Park is a beautiful area for hiking, seeing the night sky and hanging out by the campfire in the evening.

This has been my favorite glamping site so far. We rent out this site and site #4 so our kids can play in the middle and have so much room to run. The tents are cozy, but it does get super chilly at night, so make sure to bundle up! Our zipper was broken on the tent so they put a Velcro strip on it. I would love to see that changed as our hair kept getting pulled/stuck in it.
My only other complaint would be that the 10pm rule wasn't enforced and many people were loud into the night. It would be good for the camp host to do a sweep around 1030 and not just rely on other people complaining.
Other than that, we had a great trip and plan to come again.

Tent was sturdy and spacious. Beds were clean. Camp area is spacious and has a fire pit with chairs and picnic table. Bathhouse was also kept relatively clean. Overall, a great experience.

We went Thursday-Saturday. Thursday was nice, not to many other campers near us, quiet and serene. Friday was good, we took our 3 little kids (6, 5 and 3) on the hike to the waterfall, unfortunately that was dry, but it was an easy hike and great scenery the whole time. At night there other campers showed up right next to us (we were in one of the glamping sites) and along with them using their glamping tent they set up two other tents (not sure if this is allowed or not), one was 15-20 feet max from out picnic table and since they got there later there kids were pretty wild until late in the night, 10:30 or so but other than that it was good.

Beautiful campground with well-maintained facilities. The glamping site had a comfortable bed and was close to flush toilets. Bonus: Close up views and serenades from the local great-horned owls!

Wonderful stay in a very comfortable glamping tent. Firm mattress and extra twin on request. We were nicely supplied with local firewood and comfortable Adirondack chairs. Shady spot that opens up to a field where you can star gaze on a clear night. Site is labeled as Glamping 3 (site 16). Limited bathrooms on a busy weekend. Bring extra tp just in case.

It was nice not having to pack a tent. The spot was nice and shady.

We didn’t realize how close together sites 1 and 2 are. It is more like a single site with two tents. Fortunately we were a large group so it worked well.
There was some confusion about the twin “beds”, they are actually cots and you need to request them.
The queen size bed is very comfortable!
It was quite cold at night we probably have requested a heater.
The bathroom was close and very convenient.
Water was a bit colored, recommend bringing your own drinking water.
The camp was very quiet and the hosts were available as needed.
This is a fantastic place for small children to camp. Be sure to bring your scooters and bikes!

This is a beautiful, well taken care of campground. We camped with friends who are new to camping so the glamp site was helpful to accommodate thier comfort level. They really appreciated having electricity in the tent for the fan and heater they brought. We set up our traditional tent at the same site and were very comfortable. We took a nearby hike to a small waterfall which was fun and doable with 2 toddlers. This was our second year and we'd do it again!

The front door screen zipper needs to be fixed. We couldn’t zip up the screen door to sleep and had to close up the yurt which restricted airflow since we stayed during the Bay Area heatwave.
Overall the host was accommodating and provided four cushions for the kids to sleep on. It was great for them. Location was very convenient.

Absolutely LOVELY glamping spot. The tents are spacious, comfortable, and tastefully designed. Great fire pits and big open space for playing. The tents back up to a mountain side and are spaced well apart - so plenty of privacy (but you are next to the camp host, which I like - quieter). The tents face the ridge and it's gorgeous at sun up and sunset. Easy 10 min drive to great wineries and restaurants. We'll definitely be back!

We had so much fun at Glamping site#16! There was a heat wave, and our host brought us a portable fan that saved the day. We loved that the pictures were exactly as advertised in person when we showed up. We were glad to see water spigot all through out the campgrounds. My kids enjoyed the paved path that circled the entire campground, and we loved being able to see them easily from our spot.
The tent was really big. Easily held the queen size bed, and 2 additional twin size beds AND all of our crap! We had a ton of privacy, and really enjoyed our space. The stream was a big hit with the kids, and the hiking trails. This is a great place for family. If I were to make any suggestions regarding family, it would be great to see a small playground, or at least a swing set in the big open fields for kids to go play on.
Can have everything I guess. The 4.5 hour trip was well worth it!
