Stayed at Buck Pasture, site 13. Perfect for kids, rocky beach like shoreline. Only bad thing I can say is the yellow jackets were really bad. Had to eat all meals inside our tent. Will go back but with a lot of tlbee traps!

Had a blast! Easy access and great trails!

The site was spectacular and we loved everything about our trip with the exception of one item. Trash had not been removed from any of the nearby campsites so we had to keep track of our garbage separately and pack it all out. Additionally, one of the trash cans of a nearby site had fallen over and the trash was scattered all over and partially in the lake. Another couple who arrived days before us said no one came for the trash in several days. I've camped at the lake sites many times and never had this issue and hopefully it was just an isolated issue. Everything else was perfect though as usual!

There was garbage everywhere when we showed up on Thursday. No one ever went to clean up in the 4 nights that we were there. We were there Thursday thru Monday and not one time did anyone go to empty trash cans or clean up. Disappointed that no one cleans!! We were careful to put food in tiny bit of room left in trash can so that we would not get visitors at night time.

Had a great time camping here

Great lake camping! Watch out for racoons at night.
@JamesM9879118 · Camped on May 30, 2025 at Campsite #LG4
Love Lake Sonoma boat camping. Lots of space and shade and wood. The fishing was also very good.
@conorw1281600E · Camped on Apr 26, 2025 at Campsite #BM05
It was flooded out so we couldnt stay there.
@RobertB6182770 · Camped on Jan 17, 2025 at Campsite #RS01
Our site at Rustlers was extremely far from the outhouses. It would be nice to have the outhouses marked on the maps. Lastly, you have a TICK infestation at Rustlers.
@MasonJA1613B0F · Camped on Jan 2, 2025 at Campsite #SK03
Really awesome boat in site! I was the only one there so it made for a memorable canoe trip. The water level was very high so a few sites were under water.
@RobertB6182770 · Camped on Dec 5, 2024 at Campsite #SK07
In December, it is not crowded. Yes, it can be chilly. But, it is like have your own private campground.
@SamuelS9419161 · Camped on Nov 1, 2024 at Campsite #RS06
Dont leave you truck at the parking l had my soft topper camper shell sliced up with razor blade so they could steal a couple tie down straps and a shovel
@JakeW3561390 · Camped on Oct 11, 2024 at Campsite #HS02
It's always amazing, only pit toilets but if you can deal with that the camping is unparalleled, sites are almost always available for boat in, been canoe camping there for years and it is always a blast

I really enjoyed camping at Skunk campground, the late was "full" at ~250,000 level. The temps were in the 90s, and the water was 78f which made swimming perfect. We paddled from Yorty creek 3mi over to Thumb campground and continued to Skunk. Being in no-wake zones the water was smooth and paddeling easy. Crossing the between the arms is a no-water ski zone with a 50mph limit, but the 3 boats we saw kept their distance. Only one time around Rustlers campground did we have a boat come in blaring loud music, the rest of the lake especially out by Skunk and Thumb was very quiet and calm.Thumb itself was busy with about 6-8 kayaks, and the camp sites are small and pretty close to each other, and rustic is the right term. They're dirt and I'm not really sure if all of them have a flat spot for a tent. It's nice they have garbage cans, picnic tables (some in better repair than others) and toilets If it was a busy weekend it would suck if you happen to pick a lowsy site, especially since there aren't any picures of site or any way to judge of 1, 2 or 3 are "good" when booking.Given it quiet, and seeing Skunk was empty and 200 feet away we packed up and paddled over to it instead and had the whole campground to ourselves. We had to move sites as we found a yellow jacket nest in the ground about 10 feet away from the table.It was incredibly fun to go swimming, quiet paddling, etc. BUT if it was busy and you can't spread out, or a jerk pulls in blasting thump thump music it can kind of ruin your stay....

Excellent place for boat-in camping. Loggers Camp was great. Be aware no trailers allowed at the Yorty creek entrance.
@MonicaS3433522 · Camped on Aug 31, 2024 at Campsite #QS04
My campsite was some how double booked. Booked two sites to not have neighbors but ended up sharing the area with another family
@MadalynB2B70B2 · Camped on Aug 31, 2024 at Campsite #RS02
At these sites RS 1&2 just know that you are hiking to the other sites for the hot box toilets. It would be nice if they could put one more convenient to these sites.
@KevinS8513228 · Camped on Jul 27, 2024 at Campsite #MP01
Perfect

We love Lake Sonoma but the army corps is not taking care of the camp sites. They did not collect the trash. I had to yell at them to get actionTrash was all over several campsites.The toilets were not serviced and they were in severe disrepair.They did not enforce any kind of camp quiet time. We had a party going until well after midnight one evening with loud music.They are not managing the lake. We had several nights with wake surfers on the water after dark with speakers blaring.
@AlexG3369952 · Camped on Jul 13, 2024 at Campsite #SK12
Awesome quiet camping sites
@SaraGDCDBE8B8F · Camped on Jul 7, 2024 at Campsite #RS04
Beautiful lake and short boat in ride. I went after 4th of July and the grounds were full of trash and the bathrooms were very dirty. Im guessing if you go when there hasnt been a holiday it would be better kept.
@AnastasiaEB36C · Camped on Jul 3, 2024 at Campsite #SK05
I lost my grandmothers WW2 wedding band while swimming near to SK01 site. Its a rose gold thick band. Please if you find it, well talk reward. (Ana . Maynich @ gmail) this ring means a world to me. Also, this is one of my favorite boat in sites! Highly recommend it.
@AlisonCC79CADB · Camped on Jun 28, 2024 at Campsite #BM01
Weve camped two spots in the last month and had to kick people out of our site each time. We get there after work on Friday and want to set up and chill and have to wait for people to tear down and move. Plus, its very awkward. Also, this last visit, the toilets were full. Otherwise, it was peaceful.
@PaulN9067997 · Camped on Jun 22, 2024 at Campsite #MP01
This was an unusual solo experience. The shoreline campsites of Lake Sonoma are familiar to me, but I know them from mountain biking the Lake Sonoma trail system. The campsites here are next to the shire and have flat tent sites on them with a fire pit and metal picnic tables The pit toilet was cleaned and had plenty of paper. The thing that is not nice about Lake Sonoma during high season are the power boaters who seemingly drunkenly ply the waters with every variety of music at the. Loudest Possible VOLUME! This didn't stop until past 9pm on the water and about 10:30 from the next campsite over (who came in with two boats).After that it was wonderful. Also there was a lot of trash in the campsite due to previous bad campers and evidence of drunken activities.

I just used PerfectCamp.com to book six consecutive August nights at the most popular campsite in one of the most popular campgrounds in Humboldt Redwoods State Park in California. That is not anything I could have accomplished anywhere else with the ease I did here! Thank you, PerfectCamp! I LOVE this site! You will find me on several other camping sites but the design, format, functionality, and personality of this the best. It’s fresh and clean.

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.
