Olema RV Resort and Campground

This was a nice surprise. The online reviews were negative, but for the proximity to Point Reyes and the coast, I enjoyed settling in here for a while. The sites were spacious enough, but not particularly private - they had just finished re-doing the front sites to make them bigger, so the landscaping was still young and didn't offer much buffer between neighbors, but at least you weren't right on top of each other. There are trees and grass throughout the whole park, and the sites in the back are the shadiest, but they aren't full hookups. I loved being able to ride my bike to Inverness and on some trails of Point Reyes without having to get in my car. It's an hour drive to San Francisco, but it's a nice drive on coastal Route 1, or Sir Francis Drake through Fairfax and San Anselmo. Three miles up the road Point Reyes Station offers some restaurants, grocery, and gas. My verizon phone did not work here. I could get a whisper of a signal in Inverness, but the most reliable place for my Verizon phone was to drive down past Stinson Beach and park in one of the clifftop pullouts overlooking the Pacific. Not a bad place for a conference call. The park offers free WiFi and it worked great. Some downers are: 1) they only take cash 2) they have a 2-week limit 3) people drive too fast on the gravel roads and kick up a lot of dust 4) when I came back after leaving, I settled in at a different site, which was supposed to be a full hookup, but the sewage drain was clogged. They knew about it, because my neighbors told them about it when THEY were put there before me, but they put me there anyway.
