Novato RV Park

Tight spaces, but enough room for a picnic table at each site. Paved roads. Gravel sites that are not quite level. The RV park is sort of in the front of a large mobile home park. There's a "dog area" but it isn't fenced in, and full of little stickers and thorns. You can put a deposit down for a key to the pool (small and full of kids). There's a deli in the same building as the office. The lady who checked us in was everything but pleasant. If you plan to stay longer than 3 weeks, you need to fill out an application and show proof of income. I thought that part was ridiculous (they wanted previous employers and landlord information, they wanted to know the lien holder on the camper and vehicle...). We stayed 2 weeks. 3 days after we left, the office called to tell us our rent was late. That was a first for me!
Novato is a nice little town and it's not too far from San Francisco.

It’s clean and pretty, but quite crowded. The staff were friendly. They have a lot of rules, which I understand, but it seemed overboard. They claim to have a dog area (the size of one small rv spot), but I couldn’t find it in the dark. I let my dog poop in the beauty bark, which was against the rules (I cleaned it thoroughly). The bathrooms were decent, but they want your showers to be less than 3 minutes. Again, I understand why, but it’s impossible for a woman with long hair and a kid in tow. Even 6 minutes wasn’t enough. I’m sure it’s nice if you love order, but it’s a bit overwhelming if you have kids to keep in check. We would stay here again in a pinch, but I wouldn’t choose it if I had a more family friendly option. You can hear the freeway quite well. Not an issue for us, but it would be if you’re noise sensitive.

Over priced parking lot. Our pull thru not a pull thru as the residents behind park on road so no space for pull thru. Site so tight the picnic table inches from rv and no space to walk thru

I came to check out the park for long term use. The vibes off here. I was so uncomfortable being there. When I walked my dog outside the park there was dog feces everywhere. There's a lot of passive aggressive signage about not walking dogs in the park. I got some rest and gtfo.
