Rating: 2 9 7 7 8 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: If you like lake camping with neighbors very close, loud neighbors who play rap music with vulgar lyrics past "quiet" hours, and public restrooms that are Porta-potties, then this is the place for you! Hated it. People who stay here aren't here as an escape from the city, they bring the city with them. The only reason I give 3 stars for our campsite is that it was an end site, so we had some breathing room. - MaryinPrescott
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
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Lake Camanche (North Shore) »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

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

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

Very nice park in a good location. We come every year for the Wine Crush. They seem to always be having events here so it can be busy here. It is a little pricey but they are in a great location to wine taste in the area. - Hwygod
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Far Horizons 49er Village RV Resort »We have been coming to the 49er RV Village every year for the past 7 years with our two children. As others have noted, a number of infrastructure improvements have been made since Sun RV Resorts took control. New items include new cabins, revamped playground for kids, more reliable electric hookups (steady line voltage), new shuffleboard courts. Unfortunately, the on resort activities and convenience store have suffered. The onsite store is phasing out hand-scooped ice cream (something RVers locals both enjoyed). The store is also phasing out made-to-order coffee drinks and sandwiches--a real shame for those who just don't feel like cooking and and want to pop in for a quick bite or cup of coffee. We were also disappointed to learn that the traditional Labor Day kids activities like the milk carton boat race, watermelon eating contest, balloon toss, etc. were discontinued with no advance notice to guests. This last point was perhaps my biggest disappointment as its something we looked forward to every year (in fact, I would book my reservation a year in advance on Labor Day to request my favorite site in anticipating of this annual family fun activity). - Lance Lewis

Rating: 9 8 10 9 7 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: We've stayed here before and left a review but that was at least 5 years ago. Park is beautiful and nicely landscaped. Access for big rigs is a breeze, utilities are well placed and work well. Concrete pad with room for tow car at back-in site. Staff was friendly and helpful. Verizon signal was strong and satellite reception easily achieved. The weather was very hot but the electrical was strong enough to run our two a/c units without problem. We enjoyed the fried chicken from the store at the bottom of the hill. The buffet at the casino had a wide variety of items and the food was delicious. Shuttle van was very convenient. Park has aged well and we would return again. - Nevadatripin
I would love to give this park a 5 star rating, except for the restrooms, and lack of activity for children. There is only one restroom with three showers, which are next to the pool. When the restrooms are cleaned, it is only a matter of minutes in that you would not think they were cleaned. The shower floors may be clean, but look dirty from stains. Pool is excellent, and is the major activity for the younger set. - benny42

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
