**Effective April 8, 2018, REEF CAMPGROUND IS CLOSED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE.**
The park is 12 miles north of Jenner on Highway One. From Highway 101 there are two routes to the fort: From Petaluma Highway 101. Take the East Washington Street exit. Go west (left). Washington turns into Bodega Avenue, which after a few more name changes, turns into Highway 1 North and takes you to Bodega Bay. This route is a straight shot--much easier to drive than it looks on the map. At Bodega Bay, follow Highway One North. From Santa Rosa Highway 101. Go past downtown exits for Santa Rosa. Just north of town, take the River Road exit. Go west (left). River Road will turn into Highway 116 in Guerneville. Follow 116 west, then follow signs to Highway One North towards Jenner and Fort Ross.
The State of California is really F-ing up. They closed this campground. It was a great campground. They also closed the Manchester Beach campground. Two of the best campgrounds on the Northern CA coast. This campground was great. It was small and not set-up for RV's so it kept some of the riffraff out. Manchester State Beach campground was great because the campsites were spread out, and you could hear the ocean from the sites, so you did not hear and rarely saw other campers, plus is was a relatively short hike to 7 miles of beach at Manchester SP. F! the State of California Parks Department.
