AutoCamp properties were designed with your personal space in mind. Our founding philosophy is to help you escape the crowds and get closer to nature—a design that’s well-suited to socially-distanced travel. To ensure everyone’s health, we’ve also added new protocols like contactless check-in and virtual shopping, in addition to our already rigorous cleaning procedures.
Following recent State and CDC guidance, as of April 19, 2022, we have transitioned our mask requirement to be optional for all guests and team members in our Clubhouse. Please continue to use caution in public spaces where people are congregating.
AutoCamp is the basecamp to your Russian River adventure. We want to make access to the outdoors enjoyable for all, so we offer various amenities to enhance your experience. We offer WiFi throughout the properties making it easy to connect with friends and family to share your adventure.
The Clubhouse features a Shop, front desk reception, indoor fire pit lounge areas, and books.
