Sonoma wows RVers with its combo of adventure, natural beauty, and tucked-away wineries.
Napa’s neighbor to the west, Sonoma lends its name to a historical town, the Sonoma Valley wine region, and greater Sonoma County, which stretches all the way to the Pacific. The area beckons RVers with vineyard-covered hills, surfing beaches, coastal bluffs, towering redwoods, and plenty of pinot to enjoy around your campfire. Armstrong Redwoods State Natural Reserve has family-friendly hiking trails while Lake Sonoma has a boat launch and offers fishing, swimming, and water sports. The Russian River is popular for floating and runs through Guerneville and out to the ocean near Sonoma Coast State Park. Further south, Bodega Bay is a California coast highlight. RV parks can be found along Highway 101 between Petaluma and Windsor, in Bodega Bay, and along the Russian River; some accommodate large rigs and have pools and hookups. Always check the wildfire conditions in summer and fall in case of restrictions.
