Rating: 9 7 7 8 6 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: We have stayed here before. We come here with friends witch always makes for a good time. The park is very nice good level sites and if you can get a spot by the pond that's the best. One thing we don't like is paying for our pets. We always pick up after our dogs so Why?. - billspt
An easy drive from the Sacramento area for a quick get-away. I have been coming here since I was a kid. The individual experiences have literally ranged from exceptional to downright miserable; depending on how you camp. Overally, Camanche does not have a lot of shade, even though you can find a few spots that have trees with great canopy. Even though the sites do have full hookups, the sites are primitive and can be slightly un-level. However, not nearly enough to be discouraging. The lake is nice; however, the level has consistently been lowering over the years. - Urbanthesis
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Lake Camanche (North Shore) »I stayed in the "South Shore" Monument RV section next to the Trout Pond at Lake Camanche. Destination campground, level asphalt sites, roomy and wide, a few with shade. Campground was clean with recycle bins. Sites had full-hookups, fire pits, and picnic tables. Pricey at $50 per night with no discounts; they charge an additional $9 reservation fee per site. Bring your own fire wood as it was $9 a bundle; marina store has a very limited supply of groceries. RV needs to be fully contained as there are no showers or restrooms in the Monument RV section. Showers and restrooms near the beach area were clean but old. No Wi-Fi internet in the campground; nearest WiFi is at the Starbucks in Valley Springs. We were able to get ten channels on our antenna TV. They charge a $4 per person, per day, fishing fee; purchase these as you enter at the Main Gate. - zigzag

Rating: 1 3 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: We stayed here three nights in a travel trailer. The description of the campground sounded nice, but when we arrived we should have turned around and left before registering. However, decided to stay since we were there and were sorry we did. Old campground with lots of permanent residents in the RV section, no restrooms or showers near the RV section, the lake level was so low we could not launch our kayaks, RV section was located away from the other camping area. Would not recommend this to anyone. - bobnrobin
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Lake Amador RV Park »We stayed here on Labor Day weekend 2007 because it looked good in pictures and wasn't too far to drive. However, the majority of the RV campers were residents and were not on the friendly side. The kids got yelled at for riding their bikes around the camp too "noisily". The water in the swimming pond was scary and there was broken glass in the sand surrounding it. The playground was older than me! The only good thing is that the office staff was very helpful and nice. Regardless, we left first thing Saturday morning to go stay at another RV park. We will not stay here again unless the locals (aka: residents) change. - grtmomx3

This is a nice park due to all of the trees and the lake. The sites are spacious with lots of shade from the oak trees. We were in a FHU site which required a block under one tire which was no problem. We brought kayaks and had fun on the lake. The staff is great and very accommodating. - Hitch2go

Reservations can now be made on their website - great improvement. Antenna TV received 20-channels. No WiFi unless near the office and there is a fee. We were in the full-hookup RV section: twelve asphalt sites that need leveling, picnic table, fire pit, and shade trees. Marina is well stocked; staff was friendly; good senior boat rentals. - zigzag

Rating: 2 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Lake Camanche Resort - Miners Camp RV Park »Miners Camp is 1 of 2 full hookups RV sites in Comanche Lake resort. We came in on Sunday of Memorial day weekend and had to book a minimum of 3 days. We made reservations over the phone and paid for the 3 days over the phone. When we arrived the attendant at the gate informed us we owed 30 dollars and I said no that we had prepaid. He said yes but there is a $5 a day charge for a dog and I had 2 small dogs. The employees at the gate entrance were friendly and courteous. The interior roads are paved and the sites seemed spacious enough and are paved about 15 feet in from the road and the rest is weeds. We were kind of in disbelieve from this point on. We had campsite 18 and literally had weeds waist high that were all over our site. All the short term campsites from 4 to 20 were vacant with waist high weeds. The electrical panel had thick cobwebs and black widow eggs with a live widow in it. The sewer hookup was elevated about 18 inches above ground which makes for some interesting drainage. The water was heavily chlorinated and smelled much like a swimming pool. There is no Wi-Fi or cell service . A very nice gentleman staying long term across the street I think felt sorry for us and had offered to let me use his lawn mower. Our little dachshunds did not like the tall weeds and we were concerned of fox tails going up their noses. We did not use our 3rd paid day; my wife's hay fever was acting up big time. A little maintenance would have gone a long way. The front office did offer to comp us one day. Needless to say I will not be back. - wolfman76

Always a good time camping here. Sites are good size. Nice beach on a small bay for swimming (no wake zone). Nice Trout pond with small dock for row boats only. - warrior
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Monument RV Park »We have stayed here every year for several years and always enjoy it. The service is good although you should expect delays at check-in if arriving on a Friday. The sites back up to the Trout Pond. True to its name, this is a fishing pond only--no motors, no swimming, not even for dogs. All of these are accommodated at the main lake which, in this year of higher water, is just a short walk away. Even if you don't fish, the pond is beautiful and peaceful, especially early in the morning and late evening. - 3peaks

Rating: 9 8 9 6 7 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: Beautiful waterways for recreation on or off the water. We saw swans, ducks, a bald eagle and river otters on our walks. Heard coyotes and owls at night! Some sites are close together, others have plenty of space - check the site map. Love that we are out in the middle of true countryside! Kind of funny to be within sight of a decommissioned nuclear power plant, LOL! But who cares! It is safe now and the area is quiet and remote. - BindiGirl
The park is rural. It has a lot of grass which is well kept up. It has a lake for fishing. Only electric motors or rowing or sailing is allowed. There is a 4 mile trail around the lake. There are many tent sites and 18 W&E sites. Reservations advised. - Ed Martin
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Rancho Seco Recreational Area »This is a delightful recreation area about fifteen miles east of Hwy 99/Galt. It is in a treed area that looks out on pasture land as far as the eye can see on one side and a lake on the other side. It is rich with wildlife (which I heard at night) and so many birds. Apart from the birds one can hear not a sound. No highway, no trains, just silence. It offers water and electric with a dump station. It has restrooms with a laundry. The sites are all back in but they are spacious with picnic tables, BBQ, and fire pits. Not only are they spacious but there is a generous amount of room on either side allowing a bit of privacy. Being here on off season I had no one around me at all. My spot was not quite level but not bad. It offers no Wifi but I was able to pick up a satisfactory Verizon signal. There is fishing in the lake and a fenced in dog park next to the lake so your pooch can run and play in the water. It is about a forty minute drive to Sacramento give or take depending on where in Sacramento. This makes it ideal if you have reason to visit Sacramento but don't want to deal with traffic in your RV. The entrance gate closes early and you cannot get in without a reservation after the gate closes. The off season closing is 3:30 in the afternoon and regular season I believe is 6 maybe 6:30. So if you are going to arrive after these times, make sure you have a reservation. When you leave and get back after the gate locks, you have to use the phone at the gate to identify yourself and then they open the gate to allow you in. A minor inconvenience but it keeps out anyone who does not belong there. The rate I paid is for the off season, it is double that in summer. One of the most lovely places I have stayed. - nanzhere

Rating: 9 9 8 8 8 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: Enjoy staying here while we visit the local wineries. Clean park and showers. Two pools and good size spa. Wifi is finally upgraded and works well. If you want ice cream get there before 3:00pm. Fewer Ducks than in the past. - Bill Barnes
Nice place. We reserved for a week but decided to add a few days and ended up staying 10 days. Like most RV Parks it could use more a little more work on the grounds such as cutting long grass, some touch up painting, some pavement patching, etc. But on the whole this is a fairly well maintained facility. We used two of the bath houses for showers. The shower handles in one bath house did not work (just spun around) but it was easy enough to walk to another bath house. The shower stalls could use a vigorous brushing with a stiff brush on ground-in grime but for the most part the buildings are kept clean. Some of the sites are level while others have quite a slope. There are quite a lot of full time or long term guests here but with a couple of exceptions, they are neat and tidy. There are two ponds and a few mallards wandering around. There are signs asking people not to feed bread but that there is free duck feed at the store. Small out door pool and an inflated cover over another pool. Hot tub too but we did not use them. Lots of trees here which we like to see and the shade is helpful during hot days. The picnic tables are metal frames with heavy plastic top and benches which is a lot better the usual wood with splits and chipped stain/paint. - VT Jeff

Rating: 9 9 10 10 10 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: This is an extremely nice park with lots of grass area around spots. We had a back in sight on east side of park. The amount of grass area behind trailer and views couldn't be better. Original price for 4 nights was 260 but after Good Sam and casino Players club applied total came to 209. Only complaint about park is number of people who have their dog off leash and park doesn't seem to do anything about it. Small dogs or large didn't matter, people would have at their site off leash. - allens
We were very warmly greeted by the staff in the office. She answered all my questions before I could even ask them. As others have said sites are spacious and well-kept. Level concrete pads. Great location to explore the surrounding Gold Country. We will definitely be back! Be sure to take a walk around the park on the loop trail. Grab some free popcorn in the office. - Scott and Cristy
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Jackson Rancheria RV Park »One of the best parks that I have been to. Site spacing is great for a commercial park; all level cement pads; full hookups plus cable; plenty of room to disconnect and park next to your trailer. All roads are paved. The park is spotlessly clean. The setting is beautiful. There are two in-ground hot tubs and a large in-ground and well-heated pool. There is a walking path around the entire campground. There is a 24 hour shuttle to take you to the casino. There's even free coffee, tea, and popcorn any time that the office is open. Oh, and the WiFi really works here! I did a speed test and got 43Mbps and not at 3am in the morning, either. For groups, they have a large clubhouse that can be reserved. - WineStream

Rating: 8 6 6 8 8 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: Park overall was very quiet. We stayed in the Western campground. Our site was on a very steep decline towards the water which required us to lower the tongue jack to the maximum and it was still not quite level. Also difficult to back into because the spot was narrow and with concrete curb pieces on each site. Most of the sites near the water are like this. These sites in the Western campground are best for those that need close access to the water to launch a kayak. Otherwise, there are other sites in the Eastern campground that are more level. - M_i_k_e_y
It's easy getting in and out with good paved roads. This is dry camping with water available, but not in each camp site. It is NOT an RV Park. It is a nice camp ground. There is a table and fire ring. No electric hookups. What we liked: camp sites are large and nicely spaced such that we didn't feel crowded. It was quiet at night. The place was clean. There is water in the lake. Needs Improvement: Sites have fairly level tent areas. However, RVs will take some work to get level. Be careful of the large rocks and curbs. We'll be back. - Lamplighter
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Acorn Camp East COE »We love COE, FS, BLM campgrounds, not just because we can get the "old peoples discount" but because they are usually quiet, sites are roomy and they are protected natural parks. This campground though should have a sign at the entrance that says "rigs over 35' BEWARE". The roads are VERY tight with lots of sharp curves and lots of trees. We pulled into Site #1 because it was the longest and most level. #3 could also have been OK. Those 2 sites are just inside the entrance gate so you don't have to drive the other loops. Anyone that drives a large motorhome knows how difficult it is to get level and almost ALL the sites here have a flaw. We are not really picky people even though this review may sound like it but I just want people with large rigs to be forewarned. After all that, we really liked this park. We may not have had any cell service or Internet or TV but we took lots of beautiful walk through the park and along the trails. It has 2 dump stations with easy access and water stations throughout. - rhianna
