River Bend is conveniently located in the heart of Sonoma County’s Russian River Valley. With towering redwood trees and grapevines lining the valley above, it is a scenic drive to enjoy an unforgettable trip. River Bend Resort is large enough to handle a 40-ft. motorhome, or a small tent camping trailer. River Bend Resort has a variety of RV spaces; RV sites that overlook the Russian River are available at premium rates, while sites inside the park with no view are available for less. All of the tent camping areas can fit an RV, however these do not come with a drain. For your convenience, there is a convenient dump station available only for overnight RV parking – no public dumping is allowed.
We are proud to be the only designated Good Sam Park in the Russian River Valley. That means we meet the highest standards for cleanliness, friendliness, and available services.

River Access
We are pleased to offer riverfront sites for RV’s and tent campers. These riverfront sites are highly popular so be sure to book early if this is your preference. We have two entries to the river:
– The main entrance is located in the tent camping section, just past the cabin area. It is a short walk on a dirt path which leads to a beautiful, private beach. Our beach is a mix of sand and fine pebbles. Water shoes are recommended for your comfort. No lifeguard on duty – all swimming is at your own risk.
– Our secondary river access is located in the RV section of the resort. It is a sandy boat drag for those that want to bring inflatables or small river canoes. The stair access to the river can be steep at certain times of the year due to the fact that the river rises during winter and recedes in summer. Please note, while our bank of the Russian River has a gentle flowing current, caution should always be used when swimming. No lifeguard on duty. All swimming is at your own risk.
