The campground offers a lap pool, hot tub, playground, volleyball court, and a clubhouse with billiards and table tennis. Yes, the campground is located in Sonoma wine country, so there are numerous wineries in the area that offer wine-tasting.
Yes, there is a 14-day cancellation policy for reservations.
A 30-inch Corten fence borders the backyard to keep snakes out.
Davis installed a go-to industrial favorite of his—Stonco Vaportight Lights—as sconces flanking the breezeway entry into the pool house.
The indoor spaces are spartan, meant to function as indoor campsites.
The floor coverings are by Chilewich.
All the “interior” spaces—both an indoor/outdoor screened porch and the three fully indoor rooms—are lined with rotary-cut, white birch plywood.
The kitchen is on the screened porch and is made of entirely off-the-shelf industrial restaurant components.
Contractor Simon Fairweather built the frame for the screened porch out of solid ipe wood.
Though a simple detail, said Davis, “the contractor’s precision keeps it looking clean and intentional.”
Davis exposed the standard wall framing in the bathroom, forming convenient storage cubbies above the sink. The color of the purple door at left—which leads to the shower—was chosen by one of the clients’ two girls (each got to choose one door color).
The bathroom has a concrete floor and shower of galvanized sheet metal.
An outdoor shower made of ipe wood.
Davis was inspired by the concrete water troughs of working ranches when designing the lap pool; for more, see Swimming Pool of the Week: A Rustic Family Campground—with a Lap Pool on Gardenista.
The campground is located in the heart of Sonoma wine country, in Petaluma, California.
