Luxurious Outdoor Relaxation with AutoCamp Russian River

The site is picturesque and pristine. The location is great. The washrooms were kept very clean and tidy. The staff were friendly and very helpful throughout our stay. Our only gripe is that this kind of glamping site isn't really children appropriate. It's a small site and not really a place to bring noisy or adventurous kids. Take them proper camping to a place with space where they can run wild instead. Otherwise fabulous stay! Thanks to Jill specifically, she's a star!

If I could give this company zero stars, I would. Generally, I’m not a person who writes online reviews but what has happened to my husband and I is so appalling that I feel it’s important for those out there looking for a place to stay around the redwoods. In early March 2023, my husband and I booked four nights for September 4 through 7 at the auto camp in Russian River Valley. Last Saturday we received an email in the morning welcoming us and letting us know what to expect when we arrive next week. A couple of hours later we received another email telling us that “due to a computer glitch”, our reservation had been double booked and therefore they canceled it. They continued on to state that they reserve the right to cancel reservations for any reason . There was no apology. This evening I called and spoke to a manager there. I wanted to know how we were allowed to book in the first place, if someone already had a reservation and if someone booked after us, why they weren’t the ones who are canceled. It was explained to me that a large group had booked, and their dates overlapped with our dates, and so therefore ours was canceled. Just as a sidenote, this is the second time they have canceled our reservation at the last minute. The previous time was six years ago, and it was the night before our arrival. We had already flown from the Midwest to San Francisco. Needless to say, we will not be trying a third time, and I would warn anyone out there to think twice before you book with this company

My young son and I spent one day/night at Auto Camp and absolutely loved it. We had planned to venture out and see more of the surrounding area, but Auto Camp was so cool and fun that we ended up staying at camp the entire day. First the airstreams are very cool. Modern and clean and they have every amenity - even pens, scissors and a bottle opener. And the shower/bathroom is surprisingly spacious. The decor throughout is tastefully done. While the campsites are close together each has a secluded feel because of the landscaping. It really feels like you're alone in the woods. The communal amenities are nice as well. There is a large fire pit that provides a nice ambiance and a large grass field where my son and I tossed a football. There is also a playground for younger kids. It's nice to walk around the path that circles the camp. It's short but they have these stunning green leafed trees that appear to glow in the sunlight. Oh and they also have bikes you can take on a first come, first served basis. We rode them into town to grab some food for dinner to cook on our grill - every airstream or luxury tent gets a fire ring with cooking grate. Lastly the staff is super friendly and kind and the store is small but seems to have everything you need. If you like rugged tent camping in the outdoors go do that, but if you want a little bit of glamping then Auto Camp is well worth a look.

Booked the accommodation but didn’t stay after checked in. Passing through the Golden Gate Bridge from the south going to the north in order to get to the Russian River. The route that was taken was a bit off the path which it wouldn’t be advisable to drive after sun down. But the drive was super unforgettable awesome even with a rental on a KIA sedan. Up and down like driving through the curvy Big Sur single two-way lanes. Would go to the area again with no double about it. Plenty of camping area around the lodging destination. The place wasn’t as picturesque as what people mentioned. But it is totally subjective. I thought the place was small. Way smaller than most villa hotel in Southeast Asia. So it was really small. There are many products for sale filled the check-in desk. Flasks, T-shirts, books I guess. Looks like a store to me. Overlook the bbq/fire pit area right at the middle of the campsite, seeing through the doorway from the checkin area. It’s not big. Like lawn size, imo. The immediate area surrounding the pit are all the tents and airstreams. Might be about three to four feet next to each other. I’m not sure. It was really near to each other. A card was given for a security code. I asked if it’s for the tent. The nice checkin lady replied that the tent is just a tent. No code needed. She told me that she will be getting a push wagon to help bringing the bags to the tent. The luggage situation was a pickle to wheel from the gravel car lot to the tent. Couldn’t imagine how that could be done. I thought it would be nice to have a better pathed lot and pathway. It was a little overwhelming (hassle wise). Before getting the stuff from the car, went to the tent and checked it out—opened the tent curtain, a bed, a stand, and I don’t see any other amenities for welcoming the stay. It looks like a quarantine camp. Imo. Was looking for more of the secluded experience. Seems like the one in SF looks bigger (maybe because there is a modern cabin option) but this was the first experience… it was just so small. People are nice there in the surrounding area. It’s beautiful. No idea about cooking or restroom situation. Wasn’t being inform or a tour for that matter. No idea about what’s available for the surrounding area. Nor what’s inside of the camp site. Wasn’t being informed. Seems like the medium size tent was all it is for the lodging. Drove off from the lot and a little worried about gravel tire puncturing situation but it’s all good.

I stayed friday-monday in a tent w/ my partner and small quiet dog, it was a great experience! -Shared Bathrooms were extremely clean and well stocked, - tents were very clan and have electric warming beds -The camp store has lots of snack options and bathroom items if you forgot something at home -The staff was amazing! the tents are def sorta close together and you can hear peoples convos BUT it didn't bother us at all [they also provided ear plugs] Only mentioning this because if you want more privacy/more of a romantic getaway, an airstream is probably better!
