Ritchey Creek Campground is a nice and peaceful place to stay. The sites are clean and well maintained, with good space and shade. The bathrooms are clean, and it’s great that they have hot showers and hot water at the sinks — very convenient after a long day outdoors. A great campground for a comfortable stay close to nature.
Well maintained campgrounds, but a lot of poison oak in the surrounding areas. I mean like everywhere. Bathrooms were decently clean. There was a few spiders and bugs but that is normal. The showers were coin operated which means if the you don’t have quarters no shower, but they have a campground person who can exchange cash for quarters.
Great place to camp! Beautiful car camping spots. This time of year, you can expect a wood fire in a barrel for cooking. Rates are cheap.
Stay for 2 nights at #1 yurt. Yurt is clean and has no smell. You can put another queen-size air mattress on the side. The bathroom and shower are in front of the yurt. The place is close to the main street, and there is construction on the main street during our stay, Apr 14 to 16, so it is very noisy all night long. The bathroom has a 3pin plug for hairdryer. There is no electricity in the yurt. 20min to cloest town with Safeway, so in case you need anything, it is very convenient. They do sell firewood for $10/bundle at the site.
Nice campground halfway between St. Helena and Calistoga giving you access to the Napa Valley at a very reasonable price. Not very crowded during the week, but weekends are usually generally full. All of the sites are good though space 43 is awkward is you have a 25ft+ trailer. It is open year round and unless it is raining hard the weather is good. Hiking is very nice in the area except in 2020 and into 2021 due to the recent fires closing all the trails to protect the soil. If the trails open after the winter and spring rains it will be spectacular because of all the new growth. The fire damage in the campgrounds will be unnoticeable by summer next year. Look out for poison oak!
