The spaces at Cassini Ranch are overpriced, dusty, and surrounded by Poison Oak. My husband's exact words were: 'I have never seen this much poison oak in one place in my life!' We camped with two high energy 4-year-olds which resulted in a lot of stressful moments to keep them away from the poison oak surrounding the campsite on 3 sides. We all came home with some poison oak exposure. If we had any rain, we would have been swimming in a mud puddle. The facilities and playgrounds are run down. Everything looks like it has seen better days. There are some activities for children. However, the campground is full of young families with children, who are packed in very closely to each other. If you want a close to nature and peaceful experience, you will not find it at Cassini Ranch.

I’m not a gatekeeper… but if you want a safe, family-friendly, dog-friendly, memory-making campsite—Cassini Ranch is the magical spot. ✨🐶⛺️ They plan weekend themes (Labor Day = luau 🏝️🌺) and activities galore. I book site 56 a year in advance because it’s centrally located, perfect for tent camping, and holds 8 people—plenty of room for our crew + friends. Dogs? Everywhere. Kids? Everywhere. Friendships? Instant. My kids ride bikes, scooters, whatever rolls, and somehow end up with new buddies daily. One night my kid was roasting s’mores with another family while I patched up a random child with my Band-Aid stash (camp mom life 😂). The Russian River runs right through the campground—shallow enough for little kids, but also perfect for giant floaties, kayaks, canoes, rock jumping, or just plopping a chair in the water under a canopy all weekend long (nobody touches your stuff, it just stays there). Pure summer bliss. ☀️🛶🍉 Extras? Oh, they’ve thought of it all: • Cabins, tents, RV hookups—you name it. • General store + laundry (yes, civilized camping). • Movie nights, hula dancers, bonfires, hayrides, parades. • Volleyball, basketball, a playground, and the legendary jump pillow. • Bike parades where kids decorate their wheels with glow sticks and follow the golf cart caravan at night (adorable chaos). • Showers that are clean, hot, and timed by the quarter (6 minutes = 4 quarters; 7.5 minutes if you splurge another). 🚿💰 Security actually enforces quiet hours, so you get fun and sleep. And if you don’t feel like doing anything? Just sit by the fire, read your Kindle, sip something cold, and watch happy kids + cute dogs parade past your site. Instant serotonin. ❤️ If camping had a “best of” list—Cassini Ranch is at the top. Book early, trust me. Oh there’s small bats that appear at night to eat all the bugs! It’s cool to watch! And it only lets me post 50 photos but I have so much more to show you so instead go and enjoy this place yourself!

If you don’t have the luxury of spending top dollar for the “better” campsites I don’t encourage you to stay here. Not only will you pay a “booking fee”, you’ll pay the campsite fee, THEN pay for every camper within the campsite. Should that be included in the initial campsite fee?! I overheard my neighbor because they’re only inches apart how they got in trouble with staff for their kids riding around on their bikes over the speed bumps. They have very strict rules and are constantly watching over you. Don’t be a minute early or a minute late checking out because there will be even more fees applied. Definitely feeling like a money hungry place after my latest experience there.

This was our Maiden voyage for our first RV🎉on a whim we booked this place and my expectations were exceeded. We were previously tent campers for the last 18 years and had no idea what we were doing with an RV 😬every single person we came in contact with went far beyond and out of their way to accommodate us and help us to teach us. We were in the best hands possible for this Adventure! Casini Ranch had Marc take us to our campsite help us back in,help us set up our electric and our water. We even had a snafu 🤨and Casino Ranch had their own store to purchase the things that we needed for hook up. He even came back a couple hours later to check on us, I’ve never had this kind of customer service anywhere we’ve ever been. We also had an issue with our Gray water tanks being completely full! casini Ranch has a service where they come to your campsite and for a very small fee and a big tip well deserved, drained our black water and gray water tanks not once but twice💧💧💧 I could go on and on about how fantastic the services are,but the campground itself is in the most beautiful spot Our dogs absolutely loved the river Our teenagers. Had a great time on Their paddle boards and if you don’t have all the bells and whistles, they will provide it for you with kayaks paddle boards and even golf carts.We were only there for two days and can’t wait to come back for a week. We missed all of the excitement like the bonfire Saturday night, but the activity list at this campground is full of exciting things to do. We even saw a deer on Sunday night when most of the campground emptied out I can’t say enough about how fantastic Camping is @CasiniRanch Campground. If I could, I would give them 10 stars⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🏕️🚐🦦

For our families needs it does not get any better than this place. The staff assisted us to find the best spot for what we were looking for. Right on the river with easy access to Guerneville.

Casini: Our Second Home We’ve been visiting Casini every other month for over a year now, and each time, we fall in love with it even more. The staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming, making us feel like we’ve found a second home. The grounds are beautifully maintained, and I’m even impressed by the general store. They always have everything we need, and the prices are great. It’s like we stumbled upon a hidden gem when we discovered Casini. We can’t wait to go back and recommend it to anyone who’s looking for a fun and welcoming place to stay.

We rented a riverfront RV spot and absolutely loved our location and the campground. The Wi-Fi service is outstanding. Great coverage and great speed. The facilities are all clean and well kept.

We love coming here. It is a beautiful spot on the river. The facilities are well maintained and clean. They have great staff who are friendly and stop to engage you in conversation to make sure you have everything you need (shout out to Camp Host Anthony for you help with firewood). We've already booked our trips for 2025! There are a couple of nice places walking distance (a bakery, a sandwich shop, a bistro). Wifi is strong. Good mountain biking and kayaking.

Such a wonderful vacation! My family of four had such a great time enjoying the river, playground, feeding the animals, going on the “hey” ride and the ice cream social. Next time we definitely want to do the jumping pillow and move night. We loved our spot - a standard campsite that was remote, private and beautifully situated riverfront. The staff are awesome especially considering they are managing some rude people who don’t obey rules. Most negative reviews are because they enforce the quiet hours (10pm-8am) and that’s exactly why we booked. We’re so happy that it’s peaceful after 10pm. Such a great stay!

BE AWARE! This was my second time at Casini Ranch. There has been some changes I wasn’t aware of. I thought it was strange when I booked my site, you then have an option for an additional $30 in order to hold that site or you can be moved pending on their need. Second, if you have people visiting and it’s after 6pm ( I believe, could be 8) it is $22.50 per person. Not per vehicle. I was having friends over to my camp site for dinner and they arrived to find out it was going to cost them $50 just for a couple of hours. I had a heated conversation with the staff, because it was just so unreasonable. Even after I had apologized for my language due to frustration, I was evicted. They did refund me for my last day. Which is odd, they lost not only $50 because we refused to be trapped. They also lost $75 for my refund. They also have lost a lot more because I won’t ever go back, and I will share my story. My motivation to leave this review is to educate the RV/Camping family. Safe travels Your response speaks volumes!

We have been to this campground twice now (both since Covid). Over all it is very nice. There was some miscommunication about how many vehicles and trailers were allowed at the group site we stayed at. Make sure to read all the fine print or get it in writing. Communication is lacking a bit between staff. Gets VERY full on the weekends and our camping neighbors were very loud this past time with music past 10 every night. Would love to go back again during a weekday when it is much less crowded. Nice to be on the River. Kids love the extras (some are extra $$$)

Nice family campground! This place is family oriented and perfect for kids. For Halloween they made a big wood witch that they burnt and told scary stories by the fire pretty awesome. A little muddy because of the rain but that was okay. Everyone there said people don't catch fish in that river and I caught two. Even if it wasn't the biggest fish in the world it was still fun. Man it feels good to be country again! 🤠 I will definitely be going back. Would like to check it out in the summertime I'm sure it's amazing swimming, fishing tubing and some really quality family time. Can't wait to go back. Most of the campsites are pretty roomy which is also nice. Great Halloween weekend!

I took my family here for the first time and we all had a blast. The environment was safe lots of other kids running around so I felt my kids were safe too. They have a full store with lots of things at a reasonable price. They had family activities Saturday night. The place was clean and well kept and we didn’t have a problem with mosquitoes or flies. They have trails, basketball court, parks, beach river area. I’m going to try and do this each year now. Thanks Casini Ranch you guys are doing good things

A great campground with spots right on the beach of the river! There’s also some more forested spots as well. We stayed in site 46B and there was little tree coverage but a nice view of the river “canyon.” The general store is super convenient and they carry way more than you’d expect! They also take covid seriously and clean the bathrooms frequently. Plus the staff was super friendly! We went August 23rd, Monday through Wednesday, and the campground was fairly empty and quiet. Just one thing, I wouldn’t want to stay in the standard RV area, the sites are super close together and it’s all gravel with no trees.
