Overlooking Lake Sonoma is Bummer Hill, which has two hike-to campgrounds on it, BUMM1 and BUMM2. All recreation.gov tells the visitor about these sites is that you can bring domestic pets, and that there’s some shade. Oh and they’re hike-in. Beyond that, information is a little sparse: this post will hopefully be picked up by Google so that someone staying there can find a bit more.
