Schoolhouse Canyon Campground
12600 River Rd, Guerneville, CA 95446

4-7-13 update: I just confirmed with Ranger Chris that we are all set and a go for this year. He's excited to host us once again.

NEW THIS YEAR:
We are announcing the "Big Blue's Adventurer Award".

It's easy. This year, we'll note the miles on your bus in a spreadsheet. Next year, in 2015, when you come back to Bus City, we'll note the miles again. The one with the most miles wins each year.

Also Schoolhouse owns 30 acres across the street and a private beach just for the campground. It's just a five minute walk down the river trail. So bring your swim suits!

Comment by Big Blue's Driver on April 21, 2014 at 1:27pm: Mel - sorry to hear that!

Comment by Big Blue's Driver on April 21, 2014 at 1:30pm: All - please note that you DO NOT have to make reservations. The campground doesn't officially open until Friday the 23rd, but they open the weekend early just for us! So there is no need to call Schoolhouse and try to get a reservation, or be concerned that their website says they don't open until the following weekend. It's like a double super secret campout. Chris - the owner - said he has been getting messages from people concerned about reservations. Fear not! Show up on the 16th or 17th and there will be a spot for you - promise!

Comment by Thom and Amy Painter on April 21, 2014 at 7:39pm: Silly question I know..

Bus only or can we invite a couple of bug owners...? (I know not as cool as Bus owners.. just saying!)

Comment by Kevin & Debie Welch on April 22, 2014 at 10:25am: In years past everybody is welcome, you don't need to be in a bus to participate unless something has changed

Comment by Carole & the 'YesWeCanCamperVan' on April 24, 2014 at 3:38pm: Talking of bugs, I have to pick up my bug from SLO on May 5th but will not be moving into my new home until end of May. Where I am now in Walnut Creek, I have only one car space (for my bus) so just wanted to ask if anyone in this group has space to keep a bug for a few weeks? I could bring it to Bus City if that's a good idea. Thanks for any help or suggestions.

Comment by Thom and Amy Painter on April 24, 2014 at 7:06pm: Carole.. Might be able to help for the storage (in Walnut Creek no less!) add us as a friend and I'll shoot you the details.
