Some mention

noisereservation

"Westside Regional Park Campground is a basic, bayfront campground that many RVers and anglers love for its peaceful waterfront setting and access to fishing and crabbing, but it feels cramped, windy, and somewhat neglected or overpriced to others, especially tent campers and families. It’s best viewed as a convenient, no-frills hub or overnight stop rather than a destination resort-style campground."

Best Time to Camp at Westside Regional Park Campground

Fall delivers the best window for camping here. Mid-50s to upper-60s during the day, 40s and 50s at night, with clearer skies and lighter winds than summer. The relentless summer fog burns off faster in September and October. Crowds thin out. Shorebirds pass through and offshore whale visibility improves. Spring is decent too, but winds can still gust hard across the exposed sites. Winter storms bring heavy rain and cold that empty the campground. Year-round, bring layers, rain gear, and a windbreak. Multiple reviewers warn that coastal damp penetrates everything, even when inland valleys are hot.

About Westside Regional Park Campground

Westside Regional Park Campground sits directly on Bodega Harbor with 46 sites spread across an open, RV-friendly layout. It's a working waterfront campground where anglers launch before dawn and kayakers paddle out mid-morning. Sites run $35-$45 per night with flush toilets, hot coin showers, and a dump station. This isn't a destination resort. It's a functional base camp for fishing, crabbing, and boating.

Natural Features and SceneryThe campground faces Bodega Harbor with front-row sites looking straight across calm bay water toward Bodega Head. Mornings start with fishing boats motoring out and shorebirds working the tidal flats. The Pacific Flyway runs overhead. Fog rolls in thick some days, clears others. The protected bay feels gentler than the pounding ocean beaches a few miles west. The layout is grassy and open with minimal trees or natural windbreaks. You're here for water access and bay views, not forest shade or privacy screens.

Site layoutSites sit close together in an open grid with little privacy between them. Several reviewers compare it to a parking lot or RV park layout. The tight spacing means you'll hear generators, dogs, and early-morning fishermen from neighboring sites. The three-lane boat launch sits next door.

Amenities available

Westside provides the essentials for comfortable dry camping: potable water spigots throughout the campground, modern restrooms with flush toilets and electrical outlets, and coin-operated hot showers. A dump station is available for RVs (currently $10 fee), though there are no hookups at individual sites. The campground includes 46 tent and RV sites, with 43 reservable up to six months in advance, including two ADA-accessible sites and accessible family camping areas. Paved internal roads and numerous pull-through sites accommodate large rigs easily. The three-lane boat launch and wheelchair-accessible kayak launch are major draws for water recreation. Pets are welcome on leash with an additional fee. What's missing: electrical hookups, sewer connections, a camp store, and firewood sales, so campers must arrive fully provisioned and self-sufficient for power needs.

Activities you can enjoy

Westside Regional Park is a water-lover's paradise, with the three-lane boat launch serving as the gateway to excellent fishing, crabbing, and kayaking on Bodega Harbor. Anglers target rockfish, lingcod, and Dungeness crab from boats or the shoreline, while kayakers and paddleboarders explore the calm bay waters and protected channels. The wheelchair-accessible kayak launch makes paddling easy for all abilities. Bird watchers enjoy sightings of herons, egrets, pelicans, and migrating shorebirds along the Pacific Flyway. Beyond the immediate campground, day-trippers can hike the windswept trails of Bodega Head, beachcomb the long sands of Doran Beach, arrange fishing charters from Spud Point Marina, or explore tide pools and coastal overlooks. The town of Bodega Bay offers harbor walks, seafood dining, and shopping, while inland excursions to wine country, the historic town of Bodega, and the marine institute (with Friday tours) add cultural and educational dimensions to a camping stay.
