The setting is rural, a bit remote compared to others, but that's the charm of this place! The lake is stunning, surrounded by trees and teeming with wildlife. The dog park is expansive, grassy, and situated at the lake's edge. Plot #9 has a somewhat steep decline towards the rear, making it a bit unlevel. We use air leveling, so a 5th wheel or trailer should be able to achieve levelness. The prime plots are 1-6, although 1-10 offer 50A. We visited in January 2022 and have already secured a spot for January 2023, which speaks volumes about our experience.

Nearly had the place to ourselves on a weekday night in early April. Perfect weather, spacious campsites, spectacular sunset colors over the lake and sunrise over the grazing fields. Fair cellular reception for T Mobile and Verizon (2 bars each). It’s at least a 30 min drive on 2-lane roads to get here though from CA-99, so not that convenient for just a one-night stopover, but worth it for the peace and quiet. Check in was over an intercom after hours, and be aware that there is no access at all if you arrive after 10pm!

Used to be grate. No one bothers you. Now new people running it. Very Bad Service always looking for confrontation. Find any site but this one.

Facilities are very clean, RV spots are pretty roomy, some like 11 are very large. Pretty surrounds, boating/fishing avail in lake. This place, so close to major metro areas, is the bomb. At least in the end of October. Reports say the park is a zoo during summer. Highly recommend for fall getaways.

Very nice campground. Spacious 1-8 except sites up in the teens. Bathrooms are clean. There’s many picnic day use areas and a man made cute beach. There’s kayaking and fishing too. This was our 2nd stay and I’m sure we’ll be back. Nice, quiet, quick getaway and you’ll never feel like Sac is so close too.

Staff were very polite. Always working. Very clean well maintained. Lake was clean clear loaded with all kinds of fish. This place is a hidden gem for a quick trip. Great kayaking. Will get very hot in the summer.

I was very happy to find a campground that was open during the lockdown. I was surprised at how beautiful and clean it was. It was a long way from the freeway so be prepared for that. The staff was great on the phone and when I arrived. I was put in the dry camping overflow area and was provided my own garbage can. There were eucalyptus trees and others for shade but I had plenty of sun for my solar panel. Only electric or man-powered boats are allowed on the lake so there is no oil scum on the surface. There is good fishing here. There is a dog park area with a side for small dogs and one for large dogs, both with access to the water and plenty of trees. My old dog became a puppy for awhile after her off-leash dip in the water and roll in the grass. There is a nice dirt hiking trail (no dogs allowed there due to livestock.) It is a ways from the campground. This is a large park so there are plenty of places to walk dogs even without the trail. I always had at least two Verizon bars, sometimes three.

This place is wonderful! Clean, quiet, huge spaces, friendly staff, beautiful park. The only downside is that it's way out in the middle of nowhere. If you want quiet solitude though, you can not go wrong. We will definitely be back next time we are in Sacramento. In fact this might be the best camping spot anywhere near Sacramento.

Great location just 40 minutes south of Sacramento. Campground staff are extremely friendly, fun, helpful, and routinely go by checking garbage cans at each site for emptying and during the evening, make rounds asking campers if firewood is needed (firewood is $6/bundle). We stayed here for two nights just after mid-Nov. When making the reservation online, the majority of RV/trailer sites showed as booked when making the reservation. However, upon arrival and during our stay, most sites were empty, except for roughly 7 very experienced, elder full-timers who were temporarily visiting as well. The majority of campers during our stay had dogs, and like us, completely adhered to the campground's pet rules, which was nice. The entire campground is very well maintained. Water, 30A/50A electrical, fire ring, grill, picnic table, and garbage can are available at each RV/trailer site. All tent sites have a water spigot, fire ring, garbage can, and picnic table. The dump station is clean with easily accessible entry and exit (free with stay). The dog park is also well maintained and clean, and the entirety of the campground has doggy-do bag stations throughout so that you can clean up after your pooch and properly dispose of the waste. The restrooms are clean, and in fact, smelled pretty darned decent. Upon our arrival the lake was just stocked with fish for those interested in the activity. The lake and beach are also very well maintained. Many amenities such as groceries, food, fuel and what-not are about a 15 minute drive from the park near residential areas if additional supplies are needed. TIP: Site 10 is a back-in, but is also accessible via pull-through if you drive immediately past the site, turn left at the corner/mini-intersection, and turn left between a couple of small trees into the relatively open field directly behind the site and between the restrooms. A number of the RV/trailer back-in sites are situated in this manner. This site was on gravel and pretty level. Most RV/trailer sites are on gravel and appeared to be pretty level. NOTE: Cows roam freely on private, fenced property adjacent to the RV/trailer park. They tend to roam along the fence at night when its pitch black. The sound of leaves rustling may startle you if you're outside because you can't see anything at night absent a flashlight, headlights or other source of lighting. Quick story: While sitting at the fire ring with a warm fire going and relaxing, our pooch suddenly stood quietly and was very alert. Suddenly, I heard leaves rustling, but could not see a darned thing. It was a little unnerving because the park was peacefully, yet, eerily quite. Being startled by our dog quietly standing like a statue and hearing leave moving as though something was headed in our direction, I went inside the Airstream, grabbed a flashlight, and upon viewing where the sound was emanating, viewed 7 all-black cows just strolling along the fence line across the roadway from our site, going on about their business. We would definitely stay here again to enjoy this well-maintained campground, peaceful environment, and heck, also for the excellent staff..

We stayed there starting 1/31/2019 for 4 nights, it rained the entire time but it was so relaxing, there were only a few other campers in the park. The park was clean and well kept, the power did go out for a short time during a big down pour, they also just started updating the electrical so by summer it should be all new.

Located in the rural outskirts of the Sacramento metropolitan area, this is a nice area that offers a nice lake to go fishing. If you need to do a pitstop or want to take advantage of the fishing derby (twice a year), this a nice place to camp. Unfortunately, most of the sites are very close together unless you get one of the handful of outlining RV sites. Because of this, it tends to be noisy throughout the day. If you're willing to deal with this, this location should not be an issue for you. Personally, I fish this area quite a bit and doing an overnighter to serve this purpose was more out of convenience rather than choice. There are many other places I would prefer to go as a local. If you're passing through or getting away from the urbanized environments, this could be a good option for you. It's decent enough for a couple of nights with hook-ups (power and water with a dump station available). There is tent camping as well right next to the water, but they're very close to each other. This can be very crowded during the Summer months. Be warned of this. Note: When making online reservations, there's an $8 fee on top of the $20/night fee. This is reflected in the price paid.

Our initial plans were to stay at an rv park in Lodi, but a fast online search brought Rancho Seco Recreation Area to the front of the line. This county park was located in the country, a short drive away from town, on a lake, with some trails to walk our dogs. The current rate was $40.00, but $35.00 with a senior discount. They also charge $3.00 per pet. Arriving mid week we found the park almost empty, with only 4 other campers in the rv section. We had a very nice site with electric, water, picnic table and fire ring. The gravel pad was large enough to accommodate a 40' rig, level, a lake view and a very nice lawn featuring many shade trees. The restroom was near our site and the dump station across the road. After looking at all the rv sites, we would recommend only the first 6, as the others look pretty close to each other. Overall, a very clean park with all the amenities for a short stay. The park's distance from stores and restaurants may be a downsize for some. Staff at the park shared that every weekend is sold out and bustling with people.Summer days are zoo like. Mid-week and off season is the best time to visit. We were told by local fisherman that shore fishing is pretty good and small boats without gas engines are allowed on the lake. There are many walking opportunities around the park and lake. There is also two fenced dog parks on the shoreline for your pets to run amok and go swimming.

We needed a place to stay for a couple of nights outside of Wilton, CA for some repairs on the Airstream. We decided to take a chance on this county/ utility district park. In addition to the $30 per night, we had to pay an $8 reservation fee. Each site has water, electric, fire ring and BBQ. The sites are back-in gravel and pretty level. Our site (3) was long enough to keep the truck and 30' trailer hitched. Out our back window was a lake view and out the front was a field country setting view. All sites are not equal. After walking around the campground, we quickly decided that site 3 was the best. As you go further into the campground, the sites are much closer together. If I were to come back, I'd stay in the first 6 sites. The campground also has two dog parks. The campground was full over the weekend. I imagine that this place is a zoo in the summer. Lots of fishing and they rent kayaks. No gas engines allowed on the lake.
