We have been coming for so many yrs I've lost track. It's a yearly adventure with our friends and our kids that are all now 16, 18 and 20. We all enjoy it very much. Such a safe, friendly, clean, well maintained camp. Love that it's a skip away from the beach and therefore not crazy hot 85° at most, with morning fog and chill as well as evening, sweats is more than enough. Lots of good family people with no riff raff. See yall next year.

We have been camping at Casini Ranch for over 25 years and sending friends to patronize the business. I realize with the cost of living rates need to increase but this is rediculous. If you have an emergency (put into the hospital they refuse to cancel your booking even with proof. They will keep the money then rent the same campsite for the same amount. You will be paying well over $500 for 3 nights for two people. Anyone joining you after that will cost you $20 a person per night. Then if you happen to have anyone you know who lives in the area they have to pay $7 per person for an hour visit. The sites are so close together you cannot enjoy an evening of semi private camping. Why do they feel like they must nickel and dime people who want to get out and enjoy nature. There are so many other camp grounds in the Monte Rio, Duncan Mills area that will appreciate your business and not try to squeeze every last cent out of you so you cannot take another vacation for a year. So disgusted on the lack of compassion for emergencies that may come up after the 14 day cancellation policy. Not everyone can predict a medical emergency. NEVER RECMENDING OR PATRONIZING THIS BUSINESS AGAIN!

My husband and I booked last minute (night before) and got a mini group tent site where the reservation was cancelled. From our arrival, check in person was very friendly. We were even able to order a bundle of wood from her and they delivered it! The site was nicely shaded and tucked away from the road for a good privacy. Close to bathrooms, beach and grass area and store. Bathrooms are clean. Store has everything you need. Beach has kayak, canoe, etc. rentals for affordable prices. Lastly, our car battery died and I found a nice staff member driving around in a golf cart who set out to find out about getting our battery charged. Ultimately another friendly staff member came to our site to jump it with his truck (typically you can borrow a battery charger from the store). Definitely have plans to come back with the whole family and maximize our next stay.

We've been coming here for over a decade. Not anymore. The prices are getting more and more outrageous. Once you add up the site rental, reservation fee, nightly fee for having a dog, and the local taxes.... You are paying over $100 per night. This is for a 30amp grass parking lot with a small concrete pad. Also, if you cancel, there is a fee (+ tax) to do so. Even if it is months in advance. If you are considering staying here, please check out their website and start adding up the costs. The cost for 5 nights, in September, was $585. To be paid in full when you make the reservation.

Abraham Perez | Jun 10, 2021
Sharon Glidewell | Jun 11, 2021

It is near/next to a river. They have a beach area with river rock. You can swim, float, canoe etc.

I live in AZ now but use to go to your campgrounds when I lived in Rohnert Park. I will be turning 75 in May and have a family reunion at this time. Is it warm in May. and I have a 5th wheel with 4 slides can I be down at the water with this rig.

Linda Reason | Jun 10, 2020
Daniel Robinson | Jun 11, 2020

I've only been there once, but live in the bay area still. I think May will be warm, (not like AZ, I suppose), but they don't let vehicles right next to the water. There are some spots pretty close though. Close enough to have plenty of fun and still be safe. Check out their online map. We're planning on returning in the spring too.
