Bothe-Napa Valley State Park

I had no idea this place existed before this trip. Very nice campground with hiking trails in the park.

Bothe has been a local favorite for exploring and connecting with nature my entire life. It’s local and easy to get to. They offer camping sites, tails etc… we even did a photo shoot there and at the Bale Grist Mill next door. Lovely place to go connect!!

It was great except that after staying in one of the cabins (Maple)me and one other person had a rash break out on two thirds of our body. We weren't knowingly exposed to any poison oak and aren't sure where the rash came from, though we suspect the cabin mattresses or a burn pit near the camp site. Be careful staying there

The Yurts are very nice and well constructed. The cabins are more expensive but nicer if you want to spend a bit more. The bathrooms near the parking area don't have soap but there appears to be a soap near the Yurts and cabins. The park is not the most scenic since I am used to California plants and scenery. There is a creek and lots of foliage but no waterfalls or very large rock formations. There were some suspicious folks biking around and no park rangers in sight so be careful especially if you are alone. Maintain situational awareness and don't let your guard down.

This campsite is quite the hidden gem! The grounds are pristine, staff was very friendly. Bathroom and showers were very clean. Excellent campsite with paths and hikes right from your spot. There is a large visitors center at the entrance too! This campground offers tent camping, yurts and cabins! Would definitely return and try a stay in a yurt or cabin next time. There is a pool that was very clean and perfect for kids in the summer. The location was the best part, so close to all the vineyards and restaurants along 128. Easy to got to dinner in one of the towns and then back to campground for firepit and smores! We stumbled upon this site and were so glad we did! Will certainly return!
