Camping On the Russian River!

Russian River Campground -

Nestled in an ancient redwood grove 2 miles East of Guerneville, along the Russian River, is a special place, a place where time stands still, a place where memories are made, a place where families come to relax and forget about the chaos of modern life. That place is Schoolhouse Canyon Campground.


Tent Camping here is a nod to the past. A nod to a simpler time when a family could sit around a campfire and tell stories, swim in the river, go fishing and have fun. You won’t find a television here and we don’t allow generators. This is a true heritage park, one of the last real tent campgrounds on the Russian River.


Schoolhouse Canyon Campground - 

The park has been in continuous operation since the 1960s and is part of the original Ridenhour ranch, which has remained in the family since the 1850s. Please come and relax, camp with us and enjoy the beautiful Russian River valley. We are a perfect home base for wine tasting, canoeing, standup paddle boarding, bicycle tours or even a visit to the coast. We look forward to your stay.
