Lawson's Landing has a very Bohemian fee land has been the same for decades. Camping sites are first-come first-serve. Water front sites are actually on hard pack dirt area along N shore of Tomales Bay near mouth to ocean. People often bring stakes and caution tape to mark off their camp area (great idea on weekends). Small bait store with ice, beer and a few items on campgrounds. Dump station on site. No BR (outhouses on site) or showers. Some scattered water spigots. Cow's graze campground so expect cow patties. Dock to fish off of. Boat launch in sand (dangerous entrance to ocean though). Nice Cafe/small store located close by. Campsites behind very large dunes go first. Campground in danger of being shut down by local environmentalist. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Go here with a group of rigs for a great time. Circle up the rigs with a big shared bonfire in the middle. This is dry camping at its best - lots of stars, surf and sand. Don't go for the amenities. This is truly a get-away site for those who like to rough it in their RV's! We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
A huge park with a free for all atmosphere. There are rules, but they're not enforced. Dogs are supposed to be leashed but they weren't always and it wasn't a big deal. If you come with a group, you can circle your rigs and have a somewhat private area. You can't beat the proximity to the beach - the campground is just over some dunes (which block the wind!). Bathrooms were not very clean, but if you're in an RV, it's not a problem. There was quite a bit of manure (bring a pooper scooper) from the grazing cows (and dogs?). I'd go back. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Think Burning man, with families, hundreds of them. There are rules, not enforced, more of a self regulated community. A zoo on weekends, heaven and cows during the week. Yes, most of it is cow pasture, they may be in your site on the weekdays. Dune side camping, some waterfront (tight and real resident feel), mostly fields among the big dunes. 1 mile by several hundred yards wide, pick a spot, setup camp. Or setup a wagon circle with your rigs, bonfires are common all year long. Inside fields tend to be rowdy, with groups of campers, generators, palm tree lights, and loud conversation. Dune side tends to be quieter with Ocean sounds prevalent and more families. A child's paradise for many decades. Small dunes, huge dunes (no ATV), biking, hiking, beach combing (safe surf), and even the occasional snipe hunting ;) Porta-a-potties (better, and emptied often) and dirty restrooms for tenters, RV's use your own. No showers. Water spigots in the center meadow that people 'tee' off of where you can fill up. No power, dump stations, 2. Check-in, daytime. Checkout before nightfall. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
