San Francisco North / Petaluma KOA

Mark McKinney

My rating is based on my in laws experience and my short experience. They were there for a full day and other than the fact that it was noon smoking they enjoyed it. My wife, Sun, and I drove 2days straight without stopping and was planning on meeting my in laws somewhere else. My father in law talked to the manager and even though they didn't have a spot available for us to even pop a tent. They showed us to stay overnight(we had to sleep in the car) and use the amenities with no charge to us or extra charge to my in laws

Camped in an RV. Very friendly, big campground great for kids. Very clean and well kept. Never used the restrooms. Only had 1 problem. Quite time 10pm but it is not enforced. We had some very loud young girls 6 of them, and a parent having a problem at 11pm in our campsite, right by our bedroom? It lasted about 15 min and then they continued on. You could hear very loud talking until 11:30. If anyone was patrolling they couldn’t miss the noise.

This is a KOA Resort. The highest level of KOA, with the most amenities, I believe there are only three in California, and this is the only one in northern California. It has at least 60 cabins and is a very large park. It is near San Francisco. For those that complain about the kids and the noise, this park is designed for families with their kids to have fun, and for large groups. We stayed here for 6 nights because nothing else was available in Napa or Sonoma valleys and we wanted to visit the wine country. The location gave us good access to the wineries in the valleys, many excellent restaurants, and a casino close by. It is a nice, well kept park with beautiful trees and vegetation and a great staff.

Very noisy on a Saturday in mid-May. The pool and spa were great. We stayed in a tent site for just one night; it was small and a bit hummocky. It had some grass which made a nice base for our tent, and was partly shaded by an oak tree. We were separated from our neighbors' space by a rope; there was no privacy hedge or anything like that. The laundromat was fine; I was able to get a washing machine right away. It's cashless...you download an app and load some money on it with a credit card or similar means, and then you use that to pay. It's kind of a rip-off because as far as I can figure out the minimum you can load is $25, and I don't know if I'm ever going to use that app again. The bathrooms and showers were clean, but...the nearest showers to the tent area were way too small. There's really no way to keep your clothes and shoes dry. There are full bathrooms with showers up by the pool, and they would be super nice...but the hot water wasn't working in the one I used. The controls are not marked, so I just kept turning the handle different ways trying t6get it to warm up, but nothing worked. So I took an unpleasant cold shower. The silver lining was that they aren't coin or token showers, so there's that. The staff I spoke to were all very nice.

We stayed at the San Francisco North Petaluma KOA for two nights. Our only regret is we couldn’t stay even longer. We booked a premium patio end site number D48. It is hands down the most wonderful site we have ever stayed in anywhere. Beautiful Redwood trees all around and a stunning grassy garden area as perimeter. Just awesome! The people who run the campground are totally on the ball and everything is kept in perfect order. You should book your stay today! Only 35 minutes from Napa!
