Site 10 - Bullfrog Pond Campground
Bee Safe
Have you ever wanted to become a skilled Apiarist? Well I haven't. The good news for you, at Bullfrog Pond Campground you'll get the opportunity of life time!
As soon as you arrive swarms of loving bees will greet you and your pizza. Be sure to cover every hole on the pizza box because they will find a way in ... nothing like a bite of cheese pizza with a crunchy bee on top. Mmmm. Apparently these bees love Smart Pizza -- located in Guerneville, right at the turn on to Armstrong Woods Rd -- just as much as my son and I.
Unfortunately, the campfire restrictions mean no smoke to shoo them away. Get ready for bees in ears and crawling up ankles until night fall.
Luckily, bees go to bed after dusk. So you can enjoy yourself comfortably for a bit before your bedtime.
Then wake up to the morning dawn and sounds of bees swarming your tent. Best alarm clock I've had in years.
Seriously the campsite needs to be more upfront that there is a major bee infestation. There had many bee traps that were more chocked full of bees than the fly traps you find at a dairy farm.
If you have children (my son is seven) and they are scared of bees, this is not the place to initiate them to overcome their fears. Or maybe it is. I leave that choice to you.
My advice ... stay way.

Yellow jacket hell!
Yellow jackets chased us out of camp, watching lightning as we left, the camp has now burned.

Beware of wasps
There were wasps everywhere in the campground. We couldn't be outside without them following us around and it was especially worse around food. Folks in the sites nearby were leaving after one night, and we did too. The site and surrounding areas were lovely and if the wasps are ever cleared I'd happily go back.

What a Lovely Redwood Grove
The sites were really pretty & steep which kept them private, they had flush toilets (byosanitizer) and potable water. It was in the hundreds when were were up there & the air smelled like California bay leaves which was wonderful. The road up was a bit to get used to (it was one lane without many pull offs, which was scary in the switchbacks when the descending suvs often didn't give right of way). The redwood grove at the base was great. I wish the pottery studio was still open it looked lovely & interesting, but sadly I think that all public parks are having a hard financial go. Which means used them & fund them because they are a gift.

It was FABULOUS!
The camp site was clean with white plastic sheeting over the picnic table and seats. Very easy to clean! Very smart. It was private and quiet where we were at(site 24). The whole campground looked pretty full but we hardly heard anyone. The bathrooms were extraordinarily clean and very well-stocked. I loved the drive to the campground! Very beautiful and much cooler than in-town. I would definitely go here again and walk more of the well-tended trails.

So many yellow jackets
So. Many. YELLOW JACKETS. Like thousands. That was the only downfall. It made it hard to eat, just hang out. Everything else was awesome. Would have liked if there was a sink to wash your face but the bathroom was super clean- so that was great.
