About Us
Casini Ranch Family Campground is a family owned and operated RV park and campground, open year-round since 1965. Set among beautiful hills, the campground is just minutes from the scenic Sonoma County coastline. The 110-acre ranch rests on a gentle meander of the Russian River, giving the campground a mile of riverfront property, and offering guests a memorable camping experience.
Generations of Casini Family History
The Casini Family
The Casini Family have lived on what is now Casini Ranch for six generations and have owned the land for three generations. In 1881 Bartolomeo and Anastasia Casini settled in the area around Duncans Mills, first living in the Freezeout area and then later living at the European Hotel in Duncans Mills after the bridge was washed out. Their son Paul Anthony Casini worked as the dairy manager on the land that is now Casini Ranch for the La Franchi family who at the time owned the dairy ranch. Over the period of 1928 to 1932 Paul Anthony Casini would buy out the La Franchi shares in the dairy and become the sole owner of what is now Casini Ranch. Over the next 33 years people visiting the area would express an interest in going to the river to fish. During this time Paul Anthony Casini or his son George would grant people access and allow them to go down to the river. In 1965, George Casini began the process of turning the 110 acre parcel bounded by the Russian River and Moscow Road into what is now Casini Ranch Family Campground.
Casini Ranch Family Campground is still owned by the Casini family. George's son, Paul Casini, is the chairman of the organization which oversees the day to day operations of the park.
