For Sugarloaf Ridge State Park: This was our 1st time to Sugarloaf, we stayed in site 4 with our 28’ TT. Site 4 was uneven and required a good amount of leveling. The water spigot is just across the road from site 3, so I filled up the RV before backing in. There are no RV hookups in Sugarloaf. Generator hours are 10am-8pm.
Site 4 is shaded nicely with the fire ring and picnic table behind the site parking area. Site 4 shares parking with site 5. If there were 2 RV’s in each site, it’d be way too cramped. Thankfully for us, site 5 were tent campers. There is a nice paved loop throughout the campground that the kids just loved riding their bikes and scooters on.
The visitors center was nice and well stocked with ice cream, some camping supplies and swag. The staff were excellent. Alma got us checked in right away and Danny showed us where our site was and updated us on all the various guided hikes and star watching parties that were taking place throughout the weekend.
Sugarloaf Campground has clean flushing toilets and paid showers available to all campers. All were immaculate whenever we used them.
The wide open fields in the middle of the campground are perfect for family games. The trails around the area are great hikes and vary by skill level. We did the docent nature hike at 10am on Saturday, which was very informative and the kids got to see lizards, turkeys and deer.
Sugarloaf also had a Star Gazing celebration on Saturday night at the observatory. The kids and adults loved looking through all of the telescopes to see different stars and constellations. It was a blast!
Sugarloaf Campground clearly prides itself on being family oriented and it shows. The campground is quiet and well spread out, so that each family has their own space. We would definitely recommend Sugarloaf Campground to others.

For Sugarloaf Ridge State Park: Beautiful, well-maintained campground with friendly staff. Can reserve most sites ahead, but a few Riverside camps are “first-come, first-servedâ€. If you are in the area to go Wine Tasting, this is a great basecamp. Peaceful and quiet. There are water spigots (non-threaded) at each camp and 3 Threaded spigots in the center field to allow easy hose hook-up to fill your RV tank. Also noted that there are working electrical outlets in the bathrooms! Unusual to find in a SP - but really appreciated by us long-haired gals.

For Sugarloaf Ridge State Park: Enchanting park with many options for hiking and viewing of waterfalls. Friendly staff and small camp store. This is dry camping, with water faucets located throughout the campground. The bathrooms and shower were tiled and clean. Fires are permitted in fire rings. There is a long, winding road up into the park. Napa and Yountville are at least an hour away. No internet except in the camp store.
Recommended.

For Sugarloaf Ridge State Park: Awesome State park! Elevation 1200 feet. Absolutely no wifi service (Verizon). Mostly tent campers, but few smaller RVs. Fires allowed in ring. Observatory open some Saturdays. Hiking everywhere (no dogs on trails). Was up in middle of night to let dog potty and it was absolutely pitch black and the stars were like diamonds (no city lights)!! FAB! Would stay again and recommend. No electric/water/dump but clean nice restrooms/showers available.
