Have you ever camped at Doran Beach? That is my favorite in the Bodega area.

Ms. Tele, no we haven't, and it has been suggested to us many times. It is a nice spot, indeed.

 

We prefer the less attractive Westside because it allows us to walk away from our set up campsite to Bodega Head and also up the beach to Salmon Creek.

There is a lot of beach walking to be had on Doran but you can't get to Bodega Head without getting in the car.

 

I also kayak and besides the convenience of launching right there next to the mouth of the harbor at Doran I have put my boat in the water off the beach at dawn when it was so calm the water was not breaking - just kind of gently lapping up on the sand.

 

I have also camped at - is it Bodega Dunes?

For these activities Doran does look attractive.

 

Yes, the state park campground is Bodega Dunes.
