Our Family favorite for 50 years.

We starter visiting Modesto Resivor in the sixties. My father would hail all of our gear out to one of the many islands, and let the kids and dogs run free. Now that we are older, we camp on the shore line. Rustic tent camping near the water-skiing course is my favorite. Quite nights and darker stargazing. Blonde Beach is where your likely to find us Jetskiing.

Modesto camping

After going a few times I managed to find a nice spot I try to camp near. I enjoy how close the sites are to the water. Could use more consistent maintenance though. It gets crowded but one can still enjoy the experience.

Great camping for close to home

Has two style of camping based on your camping style. To the left of the pay station, One side of the lake has disbursed camping with very minimal shade as most campsites do not have awnings of tables. no electricital or water hookups, and then to the right on the pay station, other side of the lake has multiple camping loops with paved camping spots with water and electrical hookups for your camper/rv. Great fishing from campground spots as well at boating and other water sports.

Close to home

Love coming here anytime of the year.Not to far out from Modesto Or Riverbank. There is an archery range here which I still need to check it out. Price has gone up compare to past years but I like it due to it location. Certain time of the year it get pretty busy but we always camp on the far end of the campground where there is less people. Good area to use a paddle boat or canoe, water lately isn't that deep. Always see people fishing off shore but I haven't had any luck there. Very peaceful area except for waking up to geese near the campsite but they won't bother you at all. Boys like coming here to relax and go in the water right next to the campsite. There is also a 1 Mile Orienteering Course which is used to train my boys to use a compass. Bow fishing is also allow certain time of the year.

Here is the link to the Orienteering Course

Nice but busy

THIS lake is nice, however it gets very busy an full quick. The non hookup and undeveloped site an far away from the hook-up sites which an make it nice. The hook-up site ls are very well maintained however are close together so it lacks privacy.
