Wildhaven Sonoma
Bay Area weekenders and tourists dabbling at the outdoor life but needing a floor, a queen bed with linens, and clean communal restrooms and showers head to this well-run “glamping” hideaway. All 40 tents have the same dimensions, and each site offers nearly the same amenities: a raised platform, covered porch, electricity, a heated mattress pad, Wi-Fi, a heater, and a fan inside, and a picnic table, firepit, and patio furniture outside. The view and proximity to the river determine the pricing. Regulars covet the row of Riverside tents (and the only four cabins, whose air-conditioning can be a godsend in summer), which have no forward views of cars or other tents. Farther from the river, the following two rows, Premium and Standard, look at the backs of other tents, though many are closer to the restrooms, showers, and communal grilling facilities. A market operates at the entrance, and the property hosts live music and wine events on some weekends.
