Drive-In Camping

Liberty Glen Camping Fee Changes on April 1, 2012
Recreation season begins at Lake Sonoma on April 1; camping fees normally switch from winter rates to the higher summer charges.  This year will usher in the first increase in camping fees since 2000-2001.
The new camping fees will only affect Liberty Glen, the drive in campground located on Rockpile Road.  Individual campsites will now be $16, a double site will be $32 and the group sites will be $80 each night. The increases are needed to help maintain the campground.
The park will continue to honor the Federal “American the Beautiful” passes with discounted fees.  There will be no fee hike for either lakeside camp sites or boat launches.

Liberty Glen Campground has 97 campsites for RV's and tent campers; however, no electrical or water hook-ups are available. Campsite amenities include picnic tables, fire rings, and lantern holders and firewood is available for sale during summer months. Kids will enjoy the campfire programs and other special events frequently done on summer weekends. Trail users have easy access to the Lake's trail system. Universally accessible campsites are available for the disabled. Sorry, at this time no water is available at Liberty Glen. In addition, our dump station, showers and restrooms are closed. Chemical vault toilets are available for your convenience. Campers should check in at the entrance station to Liberty Glen.

Primitive Boat-In or Hike-In Camping

Lake Sonoma has 109 primitive campsites and two group-use campsites that are accessible by boat and/or trail only (no car access). These sites have a fire ring, picnic table and lantern holder. Restroom facilities are chemical vaults. Potable water is not available. Campers must pack in their own water or have a high quality water filtering device to use lake water for their needs. All campers, with or without reservations, MUST check in at the visitor center. Those arriving after the visitor center closes should submit a self-deposit envelope according to the instructions outside the visitor center. Caution should be exercised around campgrounds and on trails, as much of Lake Sonoma's terrain is steep.

Reservations

Campsites are available through reservation by calling the National Recreation Reservation Service (NRRS) at their toll-free number, (877) 444-6777, or visit their website at www.recreation.gov. Be sure to specify "California" as the state, and "Boat-In Sites" for the primitive boat-in/hike-in campsites. Sorry, individual and double campsites at Liberty Glen are available only on a first come, first served basis. For the two group campsites, please call at 707-431-4590.
