Porto Bodega Marina

We had a spot right at the ocean, with full RV hook ups. The Place is very, very well-​kept and we would definitely visit here again. Oh and they also fill propane tanks.

This review is for the RV park.
We enjoyed our one night stay here. The staff was courteous and kind. We called ahead and prepaid, no issues there. They did not charge extra for additional persons, so that is awesome. We had a spot right on the water with full hookups which was great, also our site was dead on level.
Our one maintenance issue (my fault) was addressed and repaired immediately. The shower/​bathroom facilities were clean and easily accessible.
Fair warning, the foghorn goes off about once a minute all day/​night. This was not a major inconvenience (much better than wrecks on the rocks).

Heaven here on Earth! Short notice reservation as we were just told about this place minutes before calling, no problem! We get here and the staff are awesome! Got the spot we were told on the phone. Easy getting into the spot, utilities a breeze. Spacious enough spot, no dingy in tow. Four nights stay and elated with this place! The water, cool temps, extremely friendly neighbors, wow what a place. Dog friendly! Fishing, yes fishing! Hope to come back again some time.

Spent Jan 9^th through the 12^th of 2015 here and I must say, they earned all 5 stars. This place has really cleaned up a lot and is looking great! The park is clean, the sites are clean, the staff is supper friendly and the services are outstanding. I stayed in site number 1 which is a great spot for views of the bay while having a little shelter from the trees. The park is right out on Bodega Harbor so you can hear the fog horn and watch the boats coming and going. Full hookups for most of the sites (with the exception of the dry camp sites). The guest’ are as friendly as the staff. If you’re tired of Doran beach and the other over-​priced, dirty, dry campgrounds, you MUST check out Porto Bodega! NO TENTS ALLOWED though, just RV’s.

I called today to inquire about availability of a slip for my boat. They didn’t have any available, which is understandable given the crab season just opened. However, my inquiry about a waiting list did not warrant the rude response I received from the woman who answered the phone. I wasn’t «questioning your business practices», only trying to find out how I’d know if a slip became available.

Love this place. Freindly hosts, clean bathrooms, clean and orderly gounds, and it is very beautiful. The other campers were also very freindly and the evenings are very quiet. The ocean is very close if you drive, we walked to it and it is about a 45 minute walk.
We go to rv parks all over northern California and this is definitely a place that I will start coming back to regularly. There are restaurants and stores within walking distance. We don’t tow a vehicle with our motor home and I forgot the dogs food, we were able to take a 10 minute walk to a quaint store and get some. They have several full hook up sites and everything worked well in mine. I reserved my spot with very short notice with no problems. Next time I would like to get one of the water spots as they are very beautiful. I highly recommend checking this place out we had a great time.

As camping sites go this place is pretty plain. No trees, gravel spaces and paved roads. Location is great and the sites are pretty level.
There is a boat launch. And lots to do very close by.
Most of the people here are friendly enough. The «quite» hours are not enforced, the office closes at 5:00 and you hardly see any employees during the day and never at night. So unless you’re a social night owl or have a sound proof rv I wouldn’t recommend staying here.

Beautiful location right on the water. Most sites have sewer/​electricity hookups, but the ones along the water with the boat views do not. What I love about motorhoming here is the super clean bathrooms and showers. Showers are not coin-​operated, so you can be a water hog. The ladies who run the main office are sweet and knowledgeable. There is a large area for the kids to ride their bikes and watch the commercial fishermen come in with the day’s catch. Fun for all.

Great little rv park, right in the marina. Very family friendly. The majority of the people at the park respected the quiet hours, which is a huge plus for me and my family. The hook ups are pretty far back on the site (our rv’s hook ups are in the middle) so we had to buy a longer sewer line to accommodate this. However, the office was very nice and called the local store to see if they had one we could buy. There are several restaurants within walking distance, which was nice as well. There really is no beach access, which is fine but I would like to stay at a park that had beach access next time :)

Our site has full hookups. They have nice restrooms and free showers. This is our 3^rd New Years here and the weather has been fantastic. We had one rainy, windy day and sunny days the other 5 days. Everyone thinks we are crazy camping this time if year but they are missing out

Beautiful location right on the water. Will definitely return again. Two criticisms I have are wifi and bathrooms. There is only wifi in the clubhouse and nothing in the park. If you like to be connected this is not the place for you. Second, the bathrooms are ok. The management asks that the fans be turned off when you leave and there is no air circulation which has resulted in mold in the showers. It’s not horrible but I hope they work on it.
Ok…now the good. Location is A+++. The clubhouse is beautiful. Spaces are nice sized and the ones on the water are top notch. Very dog friendly with dog waste stations throughout the park. You can walk all around the bay right from the park.

I really like this place– the staff is the best– they go out of there way to make sure that you enjoy the place– Have been there 2 times in the last 4 months– great views and the sites are very level and the place is kept clean. will be back

Great place to stay! Very people and kid friendly campground. Moved to this campsite after a horrible experience at Bodega Bay RV park. Manager at Porto Bodega gave us a site after she heard how horrible we were treated at the other RV park. Great views and very clean facility!

Camped here perhaps four times, and each time their facilities keep getting improved over the prior time. The reason for my glowing 5 star rating is primarily its location, as it sits wonderfully right smack dab on Bodega Bay with the water lapping at your feet. You almost feel like you are on a boat, the water is so close. Also of note, they have a modern club room for groups up by the office. Our camping club of 9 rigs had a dinner there (pot luck) and played card and dice games. It has a kitchen and restrooms. It was charming. And, since the campsites are on the water there are great opportunities to see the boat fleet, the docks, and other harbor goings on. They offer full hookup, and I notice many expensive motor homes (they offer 50 amp service as an option). Also Wi-​Fi. There are other similar camping areas in and around Bodega, like Doran and Bodega Dunes which are all nice too, but the new and improved Porto Bodega make it the go to place for the real experience.

Amazing… We came in late on a Tuesday night after driving 9 hours from San Diego area. Being so late no one was in the office so we parked at the first site and called it a night. The following morning we were able to pay for the stay and take showers in the wonderful bathrooms (heater, clean, very warm water). Wish we could have stayed to do the half day fishing on the marina!

Porto Bodega is a great central place to stay for the views and to get around Bodega Bay. The golf course is very close and the commercial fisherman sell fresh crab right there (when in season). Local restaurants are great too. But, a shout-​out needs to go to Kelly who runs the office. She is a great host for the «campers». Rocky, the parks handyman is great too. He’s friendly and is always ready to assist you.
I like it here. Brings your bicycles, golf clubs, fishing rod, kayak or a camp chair. Have fun.

What a great RV park. Great views and wonderful people running the park. No complaints at all. If you have friends who do not have an RV they can rent one of the rentals and join you. Well run and clean. Looking forward to our next trip.

We spent 4 nights here with a large camping club. We used the club room and kitchen every night and a lot of the days. The weather was nasty, but all had a good time. The sites are graveled and mostly level with lots of room for a tow car or towed car. Several of the rigs are 40 ft and are accommodated nicely in the pull-​through sites. They remodeled the bathrooms this year and they have tiled floors and new everything. Restaurants are nearby if one wants to go out for the occasional meal. I think a lot of improvements have been made here recently.

This is a friendly little RV Park right on Bodega Harbor. Some of the spots are water front and you can choose from full hook-​ups ($ 40) to dry camping for $ 28.
We had a group of RVers and they let us use their modern clubhouse (with a fridge, stove and sink) for our dinner gatherings. It’s fun to walk around the marina and see all the old boats. It’s easy to make reservations and we come here every year. Porto Bodega also has bathrooms, showers and laundry. They also have a marina and vacation rentals. No tents are allowed.
In addition to the rugged beauty of the surrounding landscape, there are plenty of activities to keep you occupied in Bodega Bay (like hiking and flying kites.) We bought fresh live crab from the local boats, and cooked it up ourselves. There are also charming kite and taffy stores nearby and plenty of restaurants that claim the best clam chowder in town.
Fun fact: The nearby little town of Bodega became famous when it starred in the Hitchcock horror flick The Birds.

Review for «Serenity By the Sea» house rental. 3BR 2BA, newly remodeled, waterfront, beautiful views. Access to everything exciting. House is adjacent to the mobile home park but you don’t see it from the home. Highly recommend for a family vacation or girls weekend.
