We had an amazing time. It was so peaceful and relaxing. We had a great site with a view of the bay. We were able to watch everyone fishing and crabbing and we even had some Kite Surfers to keep us entertained. This is a no frills campground but it is was a great escape from the craziness of life.
It worked for our minimal needs

With 1 bar of cell signal we were able to get a spot with online booking. Since it was a Monday night as well as thick, cold fog for June 1 there were plenty of spots open. We had a seawall site. If the weather was nice I guess the views would be pleasant. The area for the seawall is just a big stone parking lot, so nothing special about the site itself. I am glad it was sparsely filled because I would not want to be there when they are busy. With it just being an open parking lot, you can hear every noise from the other campers.
Nice location if about the only positive

I have spent tons of time at Dillion beach, but never ventured down the road to Lawson's Landing. Our experience with staff was fine. The girl at the front gate was helpful with directions and other questions. The road leading in was full of pot holes and in need of some basic maintenance. As we drove in, we were treated to NUMEROUS political flags and even one with a fist giving the middle finger. What does that even mean?? That set the tone for me - we camp to get away from the day to day craziness and I felt offended that we had to wake up to this everyday. With our truck camper, we were probably the smallest RV in the park ( other than the tent campers). The generators ran ALL day. The sounds of the birds were nice and watching the fishing boats go out was a positive also. We will not be back.
Great beach

Beautiful sea views for an unbeatable price

Lawson's Landing is a beautiful piece of land where you can choose to camp up in the hills, behind sand dunes, or overlooking the bay (right outside your window!). It offers great swimming, exciting crabbing, and much needed unwinding from life. We came to Lawson's Landing as a layover to our 4th of July weekend at the Redwoods. We came to enjoy this place so much that we have already added it to our "return again" list. So heres the run down of everything that this place gets right, and what they get wrong.Lawson's Creek is considered a dry camp. Our site, which was on the sea wall, and many of the other sites we saw had a fresh water spigot in-between sites. This is convenient so you can fill up right at your site. We had sunny days and our solar set up was perfect. Verizon signal was 2 LTE bars, boosted to 4 bars. The campground is clean. The crabbing and fishing is great. There is a small shop at the end that sells snacks, fishing gear and bait, and souvenirs. Sites are nicely spaced. Road is very bumpy and full of potholes/large rocks. Just take it slow as you drive in. Biking becomes a bit more difficult, but possible because of the road condition. Swimming is fun for the kids. The beach is kid friendly and, permitting weather, is pretty safe for kids to play in. Do not come here depending on using the table they provide. Our table was full of seagull poop. Bring your own table or get ready to clean off their table.As a reminder, pump gas before heading into this area if you are low on fuel. There are no gas stations nearby. You have to drive about 30-40 minutes back into town to get gas. Also, coming into Dillon Beach while towing can be tricky because of the windy country roads. Take it slow coming in and you should be fine.
Fantastic

Short walk to the beach to watch a beautiful sunset. It was nice to be at the beach but park on grass an not get a bunch of sand in the trailer. Lots of family gatherings. Driving through the town to get to this resort was a bit of a challenge so best not to attempt during busy times.
Nothing within walking distance. Good place if you’re a fisherman.

The service was extremely poor from our cell phone provider Sprint. The campground was relatively clean there was nothing within walking distance. The spaces were nice and a large and they did have an easy access dumpsite and water available throughout the campground. Everything is a hike though whether it’s going to the beach or their store.If you’re not a fisherman there’s very little here for you to do. The beach where kids can play is between a half a mile and a mile walk from your campsite depending on where you’re camping.
Great beach...OK campground.

Was not too crowded, but based on the size of the spaces it could get a little tight during the busy season.There are no hookups but water spigots were located throughout the campground. Bring a long hose if you want to hook up, otherwise just fill up before pulling into your spot.Only bathroom facilities were Porta-Jons and there were plenty of them. We didn't use any so can't speak to how clean they were.Noise at night was very minimal and it was quiet all night.Spaces are just bare ground with a fire ring and a picnic table.The beach on the other hand is GREAT. Huge sand point and Long Beach that is dog friendly.Overall, a great location with acceptable camping.
Awesome but expensive

This campground is zero hookups and porta potties. That being said it is amazing! We love coming here although prices are getting to a level of ridiculous considering no hookups.

In the busy months, this place is really busy. You're not totally stacked on top of each other, but for those who want solitude, you may seek other places. We were there during September 2016 as an example and it was pretty busy, but you're far enough from the main road that you're not bothered.The sites are tucked behind the beach dunes that protect you from the incoming winds, but don't do much on heavy wind days coming from inland. When the winds pick up, make sure you get your awnings in and don't leave them up if you're leaving for any extended amount of time. Weather can change quickly. It's easy access to the beach with a quick/short walk over the dunes. Be mindful to use the appropriate trails and don't create your own path. The campground sites are mostly grass lands, which are relatively level, but be sure you bring your leveling blocks to ensure you have a wider footprint to support your RV. It was windy when we went, but from others that have been there before tell me it's not always this windy, but I can't answer for it. The campground also looks like a little town with different RV vendors spread throughout the main road, which makes it a nice atmosphere (depending if you like such things), but at the same time seems kind of odd that RV's are also there to peddle their wares. The campground is located right off the main town, so there are close resources, including Bodega Bay main town up little up North. As with many well-served campgrounds, noise is conditional to how many visitors are there, so be mindful. Also note, on windy days, you don't hear much other than the wind.It's also important to note, that most of these areas are grazing areas for cattle at certain times of the year. This means it is not unusual to see cow pies all over the place including your site. When I was there, it seemed like it was relatively clear of such things, but there was still much to be found. Overall, if you don't mind the heavy traffic or cow mines, this would be a good coastline option. I would definitely recommend this for anyone who doesn't mind the crowds for their location and wonderful people working there.

Grab a site on the sea wall side in the 700's and back your trailer right up to the water. Nice store, boat launch, fresh oysters and some nice beaches close by. Big spots 50 feet by 25 feet so no issues with truck and trailers.
