Spanish Flat Campground — Hotel in Napa Valley AVA

I would like to start by saying I have been coming to this lake and this camp ground for over 30 years. I was very sad it was closed for several years and excited to bring my family when it opened again. However, I am very disappointed in the way it is currently being tended to. The pit toilets are filthy and while the toilet is cleaned, out the actual bathroom is never cleaned out. I stay here for a week at a time and they never once go in and wipe down the toilet or wash the floor or the walls. We actually ran out of toilet paper and asked someone working here to bring some and were told we could go and get it ourselves. The toilet paper is locked on a roll hanger and we would have to put it on the nasty peed on floor and never gets cleaned. They finally brought some down to the toilets about 20 minutes later but still did not clean it out. There is no light in there at night and they are both dark. One bathroom has a light, although it goes off at a certain point and doesn't come back on until the next evening. The toilets are too tall for little kids and if you need to change you have to put your clothes on the floor, which is never cleaned. There are no showers here so because of that my teenage daughter and her friends will not come up here. Please improve this campground. Put the showers and the marina with gas back in. Put the water faucets back in the campsites. You have water access up at the RV dump, which you charge extra for, when no one else charges you for the duration of your stay at their facilities. With the amount you charge to camp per night, the money that is charged for my jet ski to be here, and the money you are charging to dump, you should be reinvesting and making this a resort like you are advertising. I could get many more friends to come with me and my entire family. We love this lake and could have so much more fun as a whole family, but only if this campground would make some improvements and make any effort toward being a...

This was our first time, we most likely will not be back. POV: we are tent campers, not RV campers, could be different experience for those in RVs. Great campground for fishing, not for launching a vessel you care about. (Great area for kayaking) No spiket water at sites except up the hill near 26-30, can be a long walk to the bathroom depending on your site. Sites I would recommend: 30(most secluded), 40s, 8 but only if you also book 9. Lower numbered sites are essentially in a “lot”, sites are on top of each other. Not worth the $ for what it is, at least during the “off season” time. Day use sites did appear well maintained, again no running water but there was a hand washing station set-up. Day use area is not right off the water however. Birds are very vocal during the day, frogs are vocal at night. Allegedly an albino coyote that wonders the campground, we didn’t see em’ but did have fresh poop at our site in mornings. Weren’t disturbed by raccoons at all. We did have some confusion around check in, signs were not clear, no one at post although arriving before office “closed” hours.. No contact made with campground “hosts” until a full day later when it was determined we were in someone else’s spot (confusion on my end with mixing up site numbers from what I booked online - no service from campground to check confirmations, reco. To print out!) Also, all sites around where we were, were completely empty, so we were surprised to hear the complaint…

We prefer Putah...

Horrible campground. I've camped all over California, and this is a stain on Northern California's offerings. No potable water except up a remote hill. Bathrooms are comparable to conditions in central Africa. Filthy, stinking, and obviously NOT maintained. Nothing says nature like the smell of everyone's last five meals. RUDE campers are wedged in next to eachother in sites suitable for one tent and half a car.

You hear EVERYONE. Campers here are users and takers. Everyone blasts music, and its loud until the odd hours of the morning. People here are crude and leave trash everywhere. No enforcement of noise. Boats on trailers kick up dust on everyone's tents as they pass through all hours of the morning and evening. Boaters on the dock will push their way through and nobody practices any boating etiquette.

The lake has very few points of access without steep sliding hikes. The water is polluted. The fishing is sub-par. The staff are careless and uninvolved. The smallest site costs over $30 and even the larger sites require your rent or car to be dangerously close the fire pit.

Camp anywhere else. This...
