Casini Ranch Family Campground

What Casini Ranch Family Campground does

Casini Ranch Family Campground is a family-owned outdoor hospitality business operating on a 110-acre parcel with one mile of Russian River frontage in Duncans Mills, Sonoma County, California. The property has been in the Casini family for six generations (since 1881) and was converted into a campground by George Casini in 1965; it is incorporated as Casini Enterprises Inc and remains under family ownership with no external investors. The campground serves primarily families seeking outdoor recreation, alongside RV clubs, group celebrations, youth organizations, and pet owners, offering more than 200 sites across eight accommodation types: RV sites (ranging from dry to full hookups with 30/50A power, water, sewer, and cable), tent sites, cottages with full kitchens and bathrooms, rustic cabins, canvas tents, bell tents, ranch wagons, and large group sites accommodating 15–40 guests.

The business supports its core lodging with on-site amenities including the Moscow General Store (food, beverages, camping supplies, propane, laundry), the historic Moscow Barn event venue with commercial kitchen for weddings and reunions, and seasonal equipment rentals (kayaks, canoes, paddle boards, golf carts, bikes). Bookings are managed through the Campspot third-party reservation platform integrated with the company website, supplemented by 360-degree virtual site tours and a live Weather Underground station feed. Revenue is generated through nightly and weekly accommodation rentals with seasonal pricing, day-use fees ($7–$14/person), equipment rental fees, general store sales, event venue rental, trailer storage subscriptions ($100/month long-term), and ancillary service fees (dump station, honey wagon, extra amenities). The company operates year-round with a May–October peak season, applies multi-night minimums on weekends and holidays, and offers stacked discount programs (AAA/AARP, First Responders, Seniors, Active Duty Military, Passport America) to drive volume, while relying on word-of-mouth, repeat guests, and earned media recognition as primary demand drivers.
