AutoCamp Russian River

First time in Guerneville and Glamping. This is basically camping with support so expect kids and to hear other Glampers. Tents are about 6 ft from each other and yes, they are canvas so not noise proof. Trailers are trailers so expect quirks. Set your expectations and you'll have a great experience like we did. Lovely location nestled in redwoods with beach access across the main street. Friendly staff who made our stay very enjoyable. We received an email prior to arrival with gate and trailer access codes. The site is nicely laid out and we found it quiet at night. We had both a tent and a premium airstream for our group of four. There are two levels of airstream and the premium is the step up which has better location and a larger plot but the airstreams are all the same. The regular airstream locations are near the front by the clubhouse and #24. Number 24 overlooks at house at the back so less secluded. Our airstream had a large table with two benches and two chairs next to the fire. Access to trailer is with a keypad with small buttons. It has a very faint chirp when you press each number so listen carefully. We could have brought a camping stove to cook on the table but we were able to cook with BBQ briquets in the fire pit. The tents were nicely appointed and the folks slept well. The airstream is a trailer so there are some quirks which is part of the experience and charm. Low water pressure and loud A/C plus it rocks back and forth if someone is walking. Common bathroom is very nice. Two showers, one enclosed toilet and urinal for the men. Morning coffee and bagels were provided. Overall, a lovely experience which is a bit different than your typical hotel and great way to introduce someone to the camping lifestyle.

I had a disappointing experience at this campsite due to the overly dense tent arrangement. The smoke from neighboring campfires (which used low-quality wood) constantly blew into our tent, filling the area with a strong, unpleasant smell. Because of this, we had to cancel our planned outdoor activities, and even at night, the smoke made it difficult to sleep comfortably. The poor air quality ruined what was supposed to be a relaxing trip. Overall, I cannot recommend staying here.

For me, Autocamp Russian River was near perfection. Weather, comfort, charm, setting, service. It's got it all. Tucked into a quiet neighborhood just beyond the Guerneville "downtown" and surrounded by redwood trees, the Autocamp Russian River is mostly quiet. We stayed in one of the airstream trailers and the bed was incredibly comfortable. I think they said it is a tempur pedic mattress. I liked that if it is warm one can use the A/C or open the windows. The open air lobby is attractive and the selection of foods, wines, cheeses and camp supplies was really thorough. Though the airstream has a perfectly functioning bathroom with a shower, there is also a very very nice public bathroom with showers, towels and soaps in the lobby building. This property is very small. Less than a minute walk from anywhere on property to the lobby building. Blythe at the front desk was a real pleasure to speak with. She shared stories about the town and the area and was easy to talk to. I would certainly return to Autocamp Russian River and recommend it to anyone visiting the area. My very favorite part of the resort is the picnic tables and hammocks in the redwood grove. I could have sat there all day!

We have been to this particular location and other Autocamp locations previously so we were excited to take a quick getaway for Mother's Day. Arrived at the property a little after 3:30 and we understood was a little early for their 4PM check in, but were rudely informed we were early and our room was not ready. 4PM came and went, and the room continued to not be ready...it wasn't until almost 5 (4:53PM) to be exact that our room was ready. While waiting, our kids and other kids from other families also waiting for their rooms were belittled and made not feel welcomed by the staff (even though everyone was patiently waiting for the rooms). From the grounds keeper constantly coming to the hammocks to check if the kids were swinging (while the parents were around supervising their own children), I saw them yell at a 2 year old toddler that was riding their little balance bike that no bikes are allowed on property. But perhaps the worst was when my own toddler daughter couldn't find us on the other side of the lobby and started to cry on Monday morning and the older front desk lady instead of checking on her, started to scream at her for crying and telling her to keep quiet... Luckily, we were on the other side of the lobby getting coffee and were able to comfort our daughter. For $400+ a night, we expected to relax and enjoy the grounds, and not feel like we were a burden to the hotel. Either make the property adult only, or adjust to having kids around. Note: As a Hilton Gold, I am not sure why Hilton has partnered with them as getting points or any benefits they make you jump through hoops for it.

Very safe and clean area.

Clean and very quiet
