Event Description

We are starting this weekend one day early this year! Check in is at noon on Thursday, May 16th.

One lucky bus or van (including occupants) will get their camping for free from Ranger Chris! Only Ranger Chris knows what lucky camper this will be.

There is no such thing as reservations for this event! Drive in and pick your spot or join another camper and make new friends.

The campground is closed to the general public until Memorial Day. But, Ranger Chris opens it JUST FOR US the weekend before! It’s a secret - it’s special! Trust us - this is our 16th year! The gate will open this year on Thursday, May 16th at noon. That’s right - we are adding one more day to this amazing weekend.

There will be space for you - no reservations needed. We have never turned anyone away. We love that this event brings 60-80 VW’s every year!

What makes this event so special - the beautiful setting in the redwoods, hot showers, flush toilets, dishwashing stations, access to a private beach on the Russian River just across the road. It’s a short drive to Korbel Winery or Stumptown Brewery and downtown Guerneville.

We do encourage sharing your space if we have a large turnout.

Simply RSVP here so we know how many to expect or contact Laura May at 707-867-9378 with any questions.

Cash only and firewood available for purchase, Please visit the website for details at www.schoolhousecanyon.com

Comment by John LaTorre on May 16, 2024 at 3:44pm: Oops I forgot to bring the pizza dough. So you'll have to bring your own fixings. But I will have two ovens.

Comment by John Beverly on May 17, 2024 at 8:32am: Looks like we can make it and will be leaving after work. Hoping to arrive before 9pm tonight.
Question: is there cell service at the campground??
