It was great except that after staying in one of the cabins (Maple)me and one other person had a rash break out on two thirds of our body. We weren't knowingly exposed to any poison oak and aren't sure where the rash came from, though we suspect the cabin mattresses or a burn pit near the camp site. Be careful staying there

We swam for 30 minutes, perfect. The picnic sites' bathrooms are the changing rooms. The lightbulb was out at the campsite bathrooms. We hiked over hills to the mill. A great time!

The Yurts are very nice and well constructed. The cabins are more expensive but nicer if you want to spend a bit more. The bathrooms near the parking area don't have soap but there appears to be a soap near the Yurts and cabins. The park is not the most scenic since I am used to California plants and scenery. There is a creek and lots of foliage but no waterfalls or very large rock formations. There were some suspicious folks biking around and no park rangers in sight so be careful especially if you are alone. Maintain situational awareness and don't let your guard down.

We car camped here with friends and our dog during the week. Our initial campsite (17) was pretty barren with little shade and no separation from the next site. We were able to swap to a better site and enjoyed our stay. Thank you camp host. While the park allows dogs, they are not allowed on any of the trails. This includes the short one to the nice creek that runs below the campsites. The location is great for visiting other spots in Napa valley. If you don’t have a dog with you the trail along the creek is nice. It’s actually a portion of the Bay Area Ridge Trail. Restrooms, trash, fire pits and sites are all well maintained.

This campsite is quite the hidden gem! The grounds are pristine, staff was very friendly. Bathroom and showers were very clean. Excellent campsite with paths and hikes right from your spot. There is a large visitors center at the entrance too! This campground offers tent camping, yurts and cabins! Would definitely return and try a stay in a yurt or cabin next time. There is a pool that was very clean and perfect for kids in the summer. The location was the best part, so close to all the vineyards and restaurants along 128. Easy to got to dinner in one of the towns and then back to campground for firepit and smores! We stumbled upon this site and were so glad we did! Will certainly return!

Can't believe I've lived here for years in the area, and never went here. It's my regular spot now for the past few weeks. Beautiful area for hiking, camping, a walk. Picnic etc.

Bothe-Napa Valley State Park is one of our regular hiking spots. If you like wooded trails, the Redwood Trail traces a creek from different vantage points. The Coyote Trail leads to a peak where you can see Napa Valley. There are cabins, yurts, and RV sites available to rent. The picnic area has charcoal grills and a bathroom/shower area. There is a pool open during the summer though we've never used it.

Great place to hike that’s close to Napa. Get you away from the crowds. We did a five mile hike and we saw very few people. Lots of running water and many beautiful trees and flowers. Bring change. We got there early and had to self pay to park and didn’t have small bills. It’s $10.

I have had nothing but spectacular hikes each time I come to this park. Redwoods, waterfalls & fantastic views along the way. The last portion of the hike to the top of Coyote Peak trail is a bit intense. Definitely not enjoyable on a hot day (I did that only one time). We had to cross the creek at one point- happy to say I didn’t fall in! I recommend this hike- maybe not for beginners but definitely for moderate hikers. Pack a lunch & enjoy!
