Where is Lake Camanche located and how do I get there?

The lake sits between the Central Valley and the Sierra Nevada mountains, making it accessible from several directions.

If coming from the Bay Area, take I-580 east to I-205, connect to Highway 88 eastbound, and follow directional signs to the North Shore entrance. The campground is situated on the northern shore of the reservoir, as the name suggests, with clear signage directing visitors to the entrance and check-in area.

How do I make reservations at Lake Camanche campground?

Reservations for Lake Camanche North Shore campground can be made through their official website or by calling their reservation line directly. It's recommended to book in advance, especially during peak summer months and holidays when the campground fills quickly due to its proximity to the water.

The reservation system typically allows bookings up to several months in advance. Be prepared to pay a deposit at the time of booking to secure your spot.
