Not much to do there other than go to the river in the little water. very hot as well. Save your time and money and stay clear. A very disappointing trip

    While the staff is very nice and even assigned us a spot which is unusual for Thousand Trails, even the larger sites are very very narrow - it was long enough but the narrowness just made it very uncomfortable. Very hilly and a beautiful spot but with out 29 ft 5th wheel, it just wasn't good.

There are some reviews that complain about the narrow roads and uneven sites but I didn't think it was as bad as others mentioned. Not much difference from many other Thousand Trails campgrounds. I was able to get my 43' fifth wheel in without a problem. There are plenty of large sites available but you have to be selective to get a level one. You'll want to scout out a location so that you don't have to drive through all the loops to find a spot.Most sites have power and water but no sewer. There is a dump station on the main road through the campground. The campground is along the Russian River and has a nice rocky beach area. It is close to the town of Cloverdale which is small but has some basic grocery and restaurants. Take the north Geysers exit to avoid the vinyards and farm land to the south where the road is curvy and rougher. It's drivable but it's quicker to get to the highway to the north instead. If you are around at the right time of the year make sure to head north about 20 miles and stop by the farm to get strawberries. They were the best I've tasted in many years!Along Geysers road there were several abandoned RV's 1/2 mile from the campground and the area was a bit sketchy looking with people hanging out stripping parts from them. Not sure how long they have been there but apparently the city doesn't care. There are signs along the road stating it is OK to park up to 72 hours but the RV dump looked to be months old. I was able to get AT&T and T-Mobile cell service but speeds were under 5Mbps. It may have been the spot I was at because others have mentioned better connectivity. It was a bit slow working remotely at times. Overall, I would visit again. It's a nice stop along 101 and I thought the campground was fine.

Cel servive was adequate and WIFI was fine at the lodge.First the not greats: Unless you are lucky enough to get a good site (we did, but only of you can drive into it)... the sites are VERY close together for a wooded Rv park... like super close, almost touching and some sites when you open your door you might fall right down a hill! Its very hard to manuever a big rig in this park... no where to turn around... steep narrow passage ways. The park should do everything they can to help (like cut tree branches, move dumpsters away from the road... ) its also a P in the B to dump (and manuever around dumptsers). The $35 to dump via honey pot is too expensive too.I wish we could have experienced the amenities, but its covid time.The GOOD: We got a good site (the best in my opinion). The park is very clean, the rangers all seemed very courteous and friendly. The bathrooms were clean and shower areas with plent of space to dry off. What we loved was the private beach on the river. Really pretty, we went from one end of the park on the ruver in tubes all the way down to the other, its crowded on the beach on weekends, but we like to meet people so that was fine with us.

The river access is nice and this time of year the water is low but still enough to play in and may even be better for younger children. Roads are narrow but paved. A big plus for TT campgrounds. It's so much better than eating dust your entire stay. All sites are 30 Amps with water. They do have a "Honey Wagon" for $10 very reasonable. Sites are typical TT standards. Some are small and many are odd-shaped, but there are some nice ones if you're lucky enough.The facilities were mostly closed here due to COVID, but the campground was maintained better than most TT campgrounds. I also agree with others that the staff was very friendly. The campground was packed on the weekends! Probably due to the COVID lockdown.

Best staff at any TT campground, they are hard working, kind, and keep the place in good shape. It makes me upset that TT pays hard working adults minimum wage. They deserve a living wage.Cellular data is difficult here, but there is WiFi available from Jabba if you need it.Negatives are some road noise from 101 and distance to shops. There is a very small store and chuck wagon. I’d love it if TT would make deals with food trucks like the Bend park.

We have made some mistakes that have resulted in damage but this was not the CG fault. It was due to our inexperience driving something this huge. The campground is very hilly and there are some pretty tight turns. We tried to make a turn that was too tight for a 40ft. Class A and ended up dragging the front ?bumper on the curb which cracked it. Now, we always arrive during the day so we get good visibility and we think we can avoid these mishaps going forward. Again, it was not this CG fault in any way, just something to be cautious about. The staff has been very supportive and accommodating. The setting is so beautiful. The Russian River is just a short walk from the CG and one of the main reasons we love this place is we can take our dogs down to the river to run and play. There is a rocky beach at the river. It is surrounded by mountains/hills and kind of protected so taking the dogs down there is great fun and we can use a chuck it to throw balls for them to run. There is a dump station although they've recently had some trouble with it so that it is not always available. But they compensate with a truck service during the week. The park is clean and quiet. We haven't had any trouble getting satellite reception except when it's raining hard with lots of clouds. They have outside internet service available for a charge and offer different levels of speed depending on your needs. I do encrypted video chats as part of my work and have had good results. On the road leading to the entrance(about 1/3 mile away), there are some folks boon docking along the side of the road. This has not been an issue as far as accessing the park and mainly just an issue for the town of Cloverdale. They keep it pretty orderly and don't seem to bother anyone. Overall, we have been very happy with this place and encourage you to give it a try. Don't be afraid of the terrain, just go slow and watch carefully!

We stayed here during Easter weekend and we can’t thank the staff for putting together an amazing Easter weekend itinerary! From an egg hunt to Easter breakfast and everything in between! - they truly did such a great job! Big heads up - this park is under new management (about a year) and from conversations I had with other visitors has changed so much! We highly recommend this campground!

This is typical of California oak woodlands. The town of Cloverdale is close by and as of this writing, only accessible via US 101 because of issues on Geyser's road. It adds a couple of miles to the trip from the campground, but no big deal.The staff here is very friendly and the park is nice and quiet at night. They texted us directions and kept in contact with us as it got late in the day and it looked like we might need late arrival. I can say we were very happy with the service here. We would definitely stay here again. We used it as a jumping off point to explore the coast and the Sonoma wine country. Vineyards everywhere!Here are links to a couple videos I made while here. https://youtu.be/xdsxlbExkP4https://youtu.be/nICgmJg7gfM

It was fun to explore with our dog. There isn’t WIFI in the actual camping spots but you can get it in the clubhouse or on the clubhouse patio. The staff was very friendly. I wish they had a hot tub or pool, but it’s an old school Park. I imagine when the weather is hot and the river raging it’s a great place to cool off. You cannot have a campfire, many parts of California have this rule. The shower was nice. The pressure and temperature was just right. The bathrooms were always clean. I actually wondered if anyone used them because the seats were up as if just cleaned. It was a good time to unwind. We had a light rain. The park was quiet. I enjoyed the time being disconnected with my spouse. We have a class B so any spot fits for us and we even pushed that by parking sideways because we can and that allowed us the view we wanted.

We booked our nights on the TT website and headed down there from Klamath Falls, CA.We arrived later in the afternoon / evening then we normally do and upon entering the ranger at the check in shack mentioned one space he recommends for us and that we would have to come in backwards on the loop to get there. He didn't say anything else about the campground then that (not the fact that it was old, had small spaces and we lightly wouldn't fit).We went around one loop and the road was in horrible shape, cracked and pitching up from roots in places, etc. and barely wide enough for a full size rig. Most of the spaces were way to short and had very little outdoor space anyways. We didn't like the space he recommend at all, it was tucked up tight to a cabin and had no outdoor space, not even enough to park the truck.I did find one space, halfway up a very steep hill that was long enough for our rig (35 ft trailer) and had a nice outdoor space. But it was angled the wrong way, I would have to drive up hill past it, go around the upper loop and come down. The upper loop was in horrible shape and was super small, and the apex of the loop was on a hill. I swear that as the truck was coming down the backside of the hill the trailer was still going up the other side, and we scraped some tree branches from an overgrown tree on the inside of the turn. Rigs our size didn't belong up there, but there were no signs warning of that.Finally I was coming down the steep hill that the site I wanted was on the side of and lined up to back in. Unfortunately the hill is VERY steep and our trailer is VERY heavy (16k lbs). My truck is old ('01) and just didn't have the juice to push that much weight uphill while in reverse. We finally abandoned the spot and decided to leave the park.I stopped by the restrooms on the way out to use them and they were dirty.If you are camping for the weekend in a small MH, or with a small trailer (under 25ft in length) this would be a fun campground to visit. It is on the Russian River and is a beautiful setting. But if you have a larger trailer I wouldn't attempt it, and don't count on TT to give you a heads up, even though you have to put your rig length into their site when you book.[Actual attempted stay was 02/27/16]

I've been coming here for years so when I joined TT and found out that I could stay for free I was super excited. Unfortunately the TT Russian River resort is in Cloverdale, which is not quite as lovely and quirky as some of the other towns the river flows through (Guernville, Healdsburg, Geyersville) and getting to the actual river is a bit of a hike.Thousand Trails doesn't assign campsites so when you get to the resort you have to drive around and try to find an open site that suits you. This resort is quite hilly and has a lot of obviously permanent residents so we found the process a little awkward.The sites seem to be mostly level, even though the resort is set in some big rolling hills. Water and electric are available at every site, and a honey wagon will come through twice per week for an extra fee ($25 in July 2016).The restrooms and showers were clean but the plumbing was pretty slow. Watch out for the yellow jacket nests in the ground outside of the restrooms.The road to access the river is open to cars, but not open to RVs. Once you've hiked down you will find a lovely beach area and a nice place for swimming The current is very mild here so even small children are typically okay. If you drive a mile or so up the road (outside of the resort) you can put in your tube or kayak and float down to the resort beach, a trip that takes about 90 minutes and has just enough white water to be exciting.This resort is close to wine country, Cloverdale is a cute little town with music in the park in the summer and some beautiful art installations throughout the town. Wine country is very close by.Every single person I met that works at this Thousand Trails resort was extremely helpful and friendly. That alone is worth 5 stars!

This is a gorgeous part of California and wine country. The coast is a day trip away. Since the weather was less than desirable we did not recreate in the river. If a big storm is coming try not to stay here and if you do stay away from the trees. The day after the tree fell on us another tree fell near the main office. We had to make a claim to our insurance for repairs, TT called it an act of God. Watch our videos to see more.
