We had really nice stay. One day the WIFI/internet didn't work. We could get on the WIFI but there was no internet. The park is clean and well maintained. You really need to do more to warn visitors about Mountain View road... 8/16/2019

Started out a bit rocky but ended up great! 8/16/2019

Everything was great. The cabin was nice and clean. The firepit was clean and ready for wood and a fire. Staff made sure campsites were quiet before 10pm, as per the rules. Staff were friendly and accommodating. 8/16/2019

Wonderful stay, love that you're dog and kid friendly. 8/15/2019

Friendly staff, Frank was always bidding us a great stay daily and our 7 year old appreciated him very much! Thank you Frank! Pool attendant (didn’t get her name) was hospitable too! 8/12/2019

Had a great time. Park was very clean and the staff is very friendly. Enjoyed the three night stay there and definitely will be going back. 8/12/2019

Always a treat when I can make time to book a couple days at Manchester KOA! The staff is amazing and welcoming and they always have activities for the campers! Great location! 8/12/2019

Our second time here. Love it. It's not the fanciest KOA but it's very comfortable and the staff is super friendly and helpful. It has a fun 30 minute walk/hike to the ocean. There are plenty of rivers nearby for swimming/kayaking and day use. They do movie nights... 8/11/2019

Extremely well-kept facility with lovely amenities, such as a dog park, pool and hot tub. Campsites were clean, down to a scrub grill and fire pit(!), as were the bathrooms--and also always available. Staff was friendly and helpful. I hope to go back sometime!! 8/11/2019

Great park. Dirt and grass sites, pretty level. Beautiful tree canopy. Great dog park. Nice clean pool. 8/11/2019

Increasing shipping traffic to "dog hole" ports, dangerous reefs and several tragic shipwrecks all combined in the mid - 19th century to prompt to construction of a series of lighthouses along the California Coast. Among several along the coast on spectacular headland settings are:

Point Arena Light and Museum - Just five miles south of the campground, originally began operation in 1870 and was destroyed by the great 'quake of 1906. It was soon rebuilt, salvaging the iron spiral stairs and lens room from the original light and began operation for the second time in January of 1908. Docent led tours are available.
Point Cabrillo Light & Preserve - Located about 33 miles north of the campground and 3 miles north of the town of Mendocino. The light itself is a wooden structure and the FRESNEL lens was first lit on June 10, 1909. Point Cabrillo is one of the few stations left where the original keeper's dwelling still remains.
Point Reyes is further south in Sonoma county.

Any high spot along the coast line is great. Some particularly good places are the Point Arena Lighthouse, Schooner Gulch, Manchester Beach - Alder Creek Access Road, Scenic look-out just north of Irish Beach or the Mendocino Headlands.

Fort Ross State Historical Park Originally settled in 1812 as a Russian Fur Trading Colony then sold to John Sutter (of Sutter's Mill) in 1841 after the colony was abandoned. The Park has numerous interpretive and historical exhibits and excellent reconstructed/replicas of the original 1825 Russian Chapel and Fort buildings. Some of the original Russian Orchard and the old Call Ranch House and garden dating from a slightly later period can also be toured. Guided tours are available. Take a little extra time to walk down the cove and beach. Must See!!

This country home community is well known for its unique architecture, a contemporary version of the New England "Salt-Box" style. Homes of Sea Ranch have been the focus of articles in Architectural Digest and Sunset magazines. There is an Architectural Home Tour and Wine Tasting event in May, sponsored by the Soroptomist on Mothers Day weekend. There are four public beach accesses, Shell Beach, Walk on Beach, Pebble Beach and Black Point Beach. (There is no RV parking available at these beaches.) Also open to the public is the Sea Ranch Golf Links. On the east side of highway one is a tiny jewel of a chapel (mile marker 55.66) open daily for meditation for the weary traveler.
