Campgrounds and RV parks near Sonoma State University, CA

The closest option is Wine Country RV Park Sonoma, an RV-only park about a mile from campus with full-hookup sites near Highway 101. Wine Country RV Park serves a similar role for travelers seeking an extended-stay community in the Sonoma County wine region.

Sonoma County Fairgrounds RV Park in Santa Rosa offers paved sites in a central location.

Reservation systems vary by operator. Sugarloaf Ridge State Park books through ReserveCalifornia, with some first-come, first-served sites released at 10:00 a.m. each day. ReserveCalifornia opens a six-month rolling window, with each new date opening at 8 a.m. Pacific time, so summer weekends are best secured the day they release. San Francisco North / Petaluma KOA books directly through KOA, either online or by phone, and cabins and patio RV sites go first on holiday weekends. Sonoma County Fairgrounds RV Park takes reservations directly through the park, and availability tightens sharply during fair week and major events. Wine Country RV Park Sonoma and Wine Country RV Park handle bookings directly through the park; some sites are oriented toward extended stays, so confirm overnight availability when reserving.
