For KOA Cloverdale Healdsburg: Full disclosure is that my husband and I don't use the facilities, pool, or other amenities. A great campground for us is clean, quiet, populated by courteous (and/or well-managed) campers, and feels natural (trees, views, crickets). We pull a 23" Airstream.
We stayed for a week in August (loved it) and are heading up to stay for another week over the holidays. Here's the breakdown:
**Staff/Owners
Pam and Susan could not be nicer. My husband and I are new to RVing so we (and by we, I mean me) ask a lot of questions in advance of booking a campground. Both Susan and Pam have been incredibly patient, helpful, responsive, and accommodating. As a side note, we were talking to a couple of local residents who also had nice things to say about both Pam and Susan. They "run a tight ship" as one person said and are instrumental in keeping the roads well maintained for both the RVs and surrounding neighborhoods.
**Location
If you want a great campsite with views, quiet, and access to some of the most beautiful parts of Sonoma County, this is the ticket. We have been visiting Sonoma for about 13 years and looked high and low over the last 8 months for a good spot to bring our coach. As far as we can tell from our research, KOA Cloverdale tops the list.
** Road
I've read some reviews that warn of a difficult road up. Again, being new to towing I was worried...and now I'm just perplexed. It's a safe and well-paved road. Sure, you should take it slow around the bends, but isn't that always the case?
** Coffee/Market
If you're looking for some excellent coffee and espresso, Plank in the town of Cloverdale (less than 10 minutes north) is highly recommended. They usually have an assortment of baked goods as well. I believe there's also a farmers market on Tuesdays right next to the coffee shop.

For KOA Cloverdale Healdsburg: I really wanted to like this KOA, seemed like it had potential. If you go to stay in a cabin, it would be great, not so much for an RV. The road to get to the campground is very narrow and curvy. I only have a 25' tt and was hitting tree branches. Had to come to a complete stop a couple of times to let oncoming traffic by. Section that I was in had very tight sites. 30 amp electrical kept shorting out. Bathrooms not very nice. No employees around to help with any issues. It did have a nice pool and also a pond area some kids were catching fish in, but at almost $68 per night, I would not stay here again.

For KOA Cloverdale Healdsburg: This is not a park for 45 ft motor homes. The road leading to the park have trees that are way too low for an adverage RV to get under without hitting the top. Very narrow roads and very curvy most curves you have to take both lanes. most of the sites in the park will not accommodate a large RV but this was not mentioned when booked. The office was impossible to call on the phone and mailbox was always full. The office person, Pam, was the most unhelpful person we have ever dealt with in a KOA
Campground.
