Westside Regional Park in Bodega Bay sits right on the water where Bodega Head meets the bay, giving you immediate access to both fishing and water recreation. The park has individual campsites with potable water and restrooms that include electrical outlets, flush toilets, and coin-operated showers. If you’re towing an RV, there’s no hookups available at the sites themselves, but there is an RV dump station on the property for your convenience.

The main draw here is the fishing setup. You’ll find a boat ramp, a boat-rinsing station to clean off gear after being in the water, and fish-cleaning facilities right there at the park. It’s clearly built with people who fish seriously in mind, which means the infrastructure around the water is solid and well-maintained. The scenic setting—with views across the bay—makes it pleasant to spend time between fishing trips or while waiting for boats to launch and return.

Dogs are allowed throughout the park grounds, so you can bring yours along whether you’re staying overnight in a campsite or just day-visiting. There are trails around the property, and the water access means your dog can explore different areas of the park. The combination of camping, water recreation, and being dog-friendly makes it a reasonable base if you’re spending a few days in Bodega Bay and want to split time between fishing trips and exploring with your dog.

The park operates as a county facility, and depending on what you’re planning—whether you’re camping, launching a boat, or just visiting for a few hours—you’ll want to check on any specific requirements or reservations. Spring and summer are obviously the busier seasons, but the bay itself is accessible year-round if you’re willing to deal with cooler weather and occasional fog rolling in.
