Steele Canyon

Perched along the tranquil southwestern shores of Lake Berryessa, Steele Canyon Campground provides a prime lakeside camping experience with panoramic water views, abundant recreational opportunities, and a peaceful atmosphere that caters to both relaxation and adventure. The campground features 85 dry camping sites, many offering direct lake views, and is well-suited for both tent campers and RV travelers seeking a rustic, simple retreat.

The campground’s standout feature is its direct access to Lake Berryessa, one of California’s hidden gems. Campers can enjoy fishing, boating from the large concrete launch ramp, swimming, and light hiking on nearby lakefront trails. While basic in its facilities—offering only pit toilets, a potable water spigot, and no hookups—the campground compensates by immersing visitors in the natural beauty of Napa County. The area is ideal for day trips to nearby attractions like Smittle Creek, Pleasure Cove Marina, and the Napa Valley wine region, all within a 30-minute drive.

Located just 30 minutes northeast of Napa, Steele Canyon Campground offers year-round access for those seeking an outdoor escape close to world-class wineries and charming small towns. Its proximity to Lake Berryessa ensures easy access to water activities, while its simplicity provides a serene camping experience away from the bustle of urban life.
