Stop 33 – Russian River RV Resort, Cloverdale, California

6 nights at this Thousand Trails “Resort”. We were severely disappointed with this campground. The sites were small and not well-kept. Rubbish and animal feces littered the paths. There were no “resort” amenities yet paid nearly $70 a night for such false promises.

The only thing good about this campground was its location in the Russian River Valley. It provided a great starting point for visiting some of our favorite wineries.

The day we departed is the same day that the Kincade Fire started. It started only a couple of miles from where we were staying. The area was so dry, and the campground was aware that the power was most likely getting cut off that day due to the extreme weather conditions. It’s amazing we were so close to being caught in such a disaster.

This area is so lovely, as is so much of California. However, it is painfully obvious that the entire state is in such a severe drought.
