We enjoyed our stay at Bothe-Napa Valley State Park. We are bay area locals so were looking to have a nearby place to spend a long weekend without having to travel too far, yet have the opportunity to wine taste at the local vineyards. We had zero expectations given the prime location, and it exceeded those expectations.
Word of warning, the website when you book on reserve america does not accurately portray the size of the spaces. There are large boulders placed in each spot that significantly shrink the total length available. We had booked a spot that said 35ft, and we wouldn't have fit with our 27ft trailer. With that said, we arrived early on a friday and the man at the front gate said he thought we would be better off in a different spot and he would do what he could to find us a better space. It was much appreciated and we ended up with a creek side spot that we fit in just fine. For all trailers around the 27ft+ marks, definitely stay on the ritchey creek side of the park, spots 7-17. The best spot in the park is hands down spot 41 where you would get privacy and direct stream access. The other spots on the "loop" portion are pretty un level and meant for smaller vehicles/trailers/self contained units. We wouldn't have felt comfortable in most on the main loop and /or a ton of leveling would have been required.
Do check out the Bale Grist Mill, a roughly 2 mile hike from the campground. You can watch an original mill from the 1800s come to life by the help of local volunteers who put their heart into providing these demonstrations. $5 well spent.
A few things we noted of importance: no hookups anywhere, no dump station, and lots of poison oak. With that said, hiking trails depart from the camp ground, and world class wineries exist within minutes of the campground entrance. There are also restrooms, showers, and sinks to do your dishes though so you don't fill your tank. Also, staff and campground hosts were some of the nicest we have ever experienced.
We will definitely return, as a local, the space is very relaxing and also suburban in its access to Calistoga, St. Helena, and Napa and is a prime spot for checking out whatever wineries, restaurants, or hikes.
