Skyline Wilderness Park

It’s hard to review this camp site. Nothing wrong with it but not your typical experience. Very little signage and we entered via what looked like somebody’s farm. There was no park office- there was a kiosk. No one was there and as I turned to leave a car pulled up with the park manager who showed us to a spot. The park was mostly empty and it appears many of the sites may not have sewer or water hookups. The park was quiet which was very nice but felt like camping in a deserted wilderness.

Fun hike. Hiked >9 mi in just over 2 hours on relatively smooth surfaces going up elevation >2,000ft. Wore sneakers but hiking boots w better arch support would be better. Beautiful views of the valley. Look forward to repeating. Entry cost was $6 for the whole car full

We did the Skyline Trail and Manzanita Trail Loop. This is a 4.5-mile trail that should take between two and three hours at a normal walking pace, with stops for photography and enjoying the scenery. I took almost four hours to complete this trail because I stopped several times to watch the birds. I’m not sure if it’s like this throughout the whole park, but in all the areas we passed, there was a huge variety of birds. You could hear birds singing very clearly, I saw several birds of prey, some very close, and also many woodpeckers. The nature there is very beautiful, and keep in mind, we’re in the middle of winter. I’m looking forward to coming back here in the spring.

Definitely a win in the way of beauty, safety, and close proximity to Napa. We drive south on the 128 then Silverado Trail past all the wineries. Incredible drive. This RV park seemed like the best deal in the area during off season months. If you plan your most desired winery tours, then book this at the same time, it could be an affordable jaunt up to Napa.

We wanted a shorter hike. So we took buckeye and lower skyline loop trail. The trail was not great in terms of scenic views. But gives some good high spots to view down the valley. It was a week day. So the traffic on trail was quite less which was good! It’s not shadowy, so you may want to choose your timing right. The numeral only signboards were not that super helpful in navigating the trail. Overall ok trail for an unplanned, short hike …

wide open space with courtesy and helpful staff on site. Animal friendly but lots of burs so the doggies have to be thoroughly checked since the paws collect them very quickly. Even the dog run was not immune from the burs .

Nice park. Nice disc golf course one could play. Trail marking could be a little better as not all shown are accessible. Also, trails are a bit rocky. If you're an experienced mountain biker that likes hills, then they were fine. Ebikes would have a bit of a problem. The Lake Marie at the end of one of the trails was nice; about 1.5 miles upwards and took at least 45 min each way. Outhouse about half way was available. 2 showers and 2 restrooms are available... they need upgrading. Lady at front kiosk was very friendly. If you're biking to town, the road has no bike party and the traffic is a little fast. Large native garden area.

Excellent park, complete with RV Hook Ups, California Native Gardens, clean restrooms and showers and over 25 miles of hiking trails. Entry fee $6.00. Hiked the Skyline Park Perimeter Loop Trail @ 10 miles. Well marked & maintained trail. Very enjoyable hike, saw a rafter of 20 turkeys, several deer, very large squirrels, California Newt, Red Tail Hawks, Kestrel, Red Head Acorn Woodpeckers. & California Quail.

Great place to hike or mountain bike. Dogs aren't allowed on the trails.Excellent views of the Napa Valley. Including a disc golf course, an interesting garden area to walk through . The pictures are from Manzanita Trail and Thatcher Trail

Nice park with 25+ miles of hiking trails and close proximity to Napa. We hiked the Skyline Trail up to Lake Marie. Saw 5-6 deer while hiking. Weather was in low 70s at 10 am mid August which made a for a nice day to hike. The area seemed a bit dry due to not much rain but I imagine this area is beautiful during spring time.

Skyline wilderness park on Imola road in Napa. Lots of trails. Only about 30 RV sites in large county park. Gardens should be in full bloom by the time you get here. - Review provided by RV Park Recommendations & Reviews Facebook Group

I really love the pictures I get to take at the Martha Walker Plant Garden; I'm more of a leisure camper, so I don't know too many of the flowers there, but I can definitely appreciate how gorgeous they are! When I'm not out taking pictures with my friend, we like to do some archery for a few hours. It's not at all noisy and super relaxing which is so nice for focus. And of course, why would we come if we're not going to hike! The trails here are awesome and have a "wild" more natural feel to them, unlike a lot of other parks where the trails are more curated and man made. The RVing here is good too, but you could only stay for 15 consecutive days at one time which bummed us out one Christmas when we wanted to stay for a month. There's full and partial hookups and everything's pretty well laid-out, but it's first come first serve so watch out for peak times, especially around memorial day weekend. There's horse camping too so get there during an off time, you can pick your spot if you're not into horses! - Review provided by RV Park Recommendations & Reviews Facebook Group
