The lake was not busy, so it was quiet and pleasant. Unfortunately, we had some negatives to this trip. We stayed at two adjacent campsites, one site we had from Monday through Friday and the other from Tuesday through Friday. When we arrived on Monday, the trash cans at our campsites and the neighboring campsites were all overflowing with trash. Worse, over the following days the wind and raccoons blew and strew the trash all over, including into the lake. Finally, on Thursday morning while we were away in our boat, the trash cans in the campsites were emptied, presumably by the crew responsible for this task. Unfortunately, at about the same time, someone also took our two boxed inflatable kayaks, our boxed inflatable towable two-person tube, our two fishing poles and gear, and our flip-flops, all of which were located down at our beach area where our boat is normally parked. Our beach-staked boat anchor line and the two floats in the water that were attached to the anchor line should have made it apparent that a boat is still being parked there, as should the tents located up the hill at our campsites. If we try to view the taking of our equipment in the best light, the cleanup crew may have taken our items because they thought the items were abandoned. Having said that, it's hard to believe that someone would think that we abandoned over $500 worth of equipment while leaving our tents and other equipment at the campsites. The trash issue and the theft of our equipment were significant downsides to this camping trip. :-(

I love camping at Lake Sonoma and have been doing it for 4-5 years. The lake has always been low in these drought years but now it is really low 42%. Last time I was there it was 46%. Back then the hike from where we could land my boat to our actual campsite was a pretty steep about 300 yards. Which is not too bad, but after 3-4 hikes carrying 40-60 pounds of camping gear, it gets rough. Now with the lake at 42% I think I had to land my boat about 600 yards or more away from camp of even steeper, rougher terrain because not only was the water level lower, but finding a spot where you can step off the boat and not end up in mud past your ankle and maybe even up to your knee was not easy. One tip: do not land your boat anywhere that looks like clay or grey in color. Even if it looks kind of dry on the surface, you will sink into mud. You have to find a spot where you can step off onto BROWN, preferably with a sandy or gravely consistency. This 2 star review is not for the quality of the campground, which is very nice considering that it is a primitive campground, and that is how I like it. It is just for the current conditions of the lake being at low level so campers be aware.
