2 campgrounds with availability this weekend
Several established campgrounds within driving distance of Antioch offer cabin accommodations as alternatives to tent or RV camping. Brannan Island State Recreation Area provides a cabin with electricity that includes a bunk bed and queen bed, though reviews note the wooden frames lack mattresses, recommending visitors bring air mattresses. Delta Shores Resort and Marina, Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park, and Turner Cut Resort also maintain cabin options with varying amenities. Most cabins include basic furnishings like tables, beds, and picnic areas, though amenities differ significantly between locations. "This is a big campground with everything you need for boating and fishing. They have one cabin with electricity. It has a bunk bed and a queen. Bring air mattresses cause they are just wooden frames."
Rustic and deluxe cabins are both available, depending on the location. Willow Campground at Brannan Island State Recreation Area offers cabin-only accommodations with electric hookups, fifty-amp service, and water connections. Most properties allow pets in cabins, though specific restrictions may apply. Reservations are essential, especially during summer months when facilities reach capacity. Cabins at Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park are particularly popular with families. According to one review, "We go with several families with kids 5-13 and they all have a blast. The price per night is very expensive but there are a lot of amenities."
Most cabins provide basic sleeping platforms but require visitors to bring their own bedding, pillows, and personal items. Cooking facilities vary widely between properties - some offer only outdoor fire pits with grills while others include more substantial kitchen setups. On-site markets exist at several locations including Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park, Delta Shores Resort, and Turner Cut Resort, though selection is typically limited to essentials. Larger grocery stores require a drive into nearby towns. Many cabins lack curtains or window coverings, so privacy-conscious visitors should pack fabric to cover windows, especially in more populated campgrounds.
"They have one cabin with electricity. It has a bunk bed And a queen. Bring air mattresses cause they are just wooden frames. Very close to the Sacramento River for a nice cruise."
"Brennan Island State Park is an absolute gem nestled in the heart of the California Delta. From the moment you arrive, you're greeted by friendly staff who make you feel right at home."
"Positives Amenities! I love how everything was themed, from the street names to the signs. Two nice playgrounds, ball courts, pool and hot tub."
"Nice playground, basketball court, volleyball, bouncy pillow, outdoor movies, pool, lazy river, water park, bumper boats, laser tag, boat rentals on the delta, restaurants and quick bites."
"So just 30 and 50amp Electric and water. THEY HAVE DUMP STATION, BUT NO HONEY BUCKET TRUCK TO COME AROUND TO YOUR SITES TO DUMP YOUR RV. SO BEFORE SETTING UP YOUR CAMP. DUMP YOUR TANKS."

"It’s a cozy place with boat rentals! Plenty of shade and bathrooms available. Only reason got 4 star is the constant blue-green algae, making the water unavailable for swimming."

"Snug harbour sits on Steamboat Slough of the California delta. It is a small island that has pretty calm water around it. It is under new management (2022). They were gracious and helpful."
TravelerHenry in the office is amazing. Bathrooms are clean. laundry room very large and has many washers and dryers. Subway close walk, MUNI is at the park entrance. A gas station and Grocery store are both across the street.
ScoutThis campground needs a lot of work including docks, boat births and sites need pads and less weeds, stickers, burs.
GuideLike most/all east bay parks, this is well appointed for the masses. It’s also surrounded by rolling hills and close to suburbia. For many, these are positives. As an east bay resident they are for me as well. Del Valle is a bit more removed than many east bay parks. From my location in Fremont, it’s a one hour drive. A pleasant drive for the most part. I camp to get away for a bit and almost always to mountain bike. As such, I seek parks that have trails. Del Valle has a map of many trails. They also appear on many of the mapping services used by mountain bikers. Review those and digest them if this is also your intention - these are east bay parka style trails. In other words, mostly steep and loose fire roads, with many “social trails” sprinkled between. If you are compelled to stay legit/legal trails, bring an ebike. Now on to the camping. I picked a spot as far removed from any booked spot on the map. I triple checked this up until the day before I arrived. I want solitude! When I arrived Thursday afternoon, I was surprised to see the sites just 3 spaces away, on both sides, occupied. This is a fairly compact area. And while I’m sure they’re lovely folks, this isn’t what I expected on a Thursday. Saturday? Sure. Anyway… be aware that these reservation services aren’t completely reliable in that regard. The bathrooms and showers are amazing! Clean, smell good, cared for. Noteworthy is the hot showers in the camp grounds are free and your one push of the button provides water for two minutes I'd guess. Very nice! The space, 135 for me, is okay. A couple trees for shade, a nice table and fire pit. It’s now dark and the noise is minimal - mostly from the group campsite just down the hill. I’ll update this with more details in the coming days since it’s a 4 day visit.
Update 1: it’s my first morning here. Using starlink as there is no cell signal to be found. What I noticed last night was that this park is directly below the flight path to the local airports. Every couple minutes last night, a plane would fly overhead. According to flight aware, they’re at about 10,000 feet. If this will ruin your getaway, you’ve been warned.
Update 2: On Friday night, the majority of the spots were filled. Many large groups of people with varying degrees of consideration, but to their credit almost all (except the barking German Shepard) were quiet by 10PM. It was a bit more crowded come Saturday morning. Some friends came to visit for a mountain bike ride, and we set off at about noon. I had been complimentary of the facilities and bragged that I'd be taking a nice shower after our ride. Unfortunately, upon our return, there was no hot water and no lighting in the showers. And, sadly, someone decided to remove the tags and hangers from their TJ Maxx haul and leave them all over the floor of two of the showers.
Verdict: I'd only come back here in the springtime when it's likely to be green and have some water in the arroyo and only during the week. The density and composition of the people here was akin to being at Costco on a Saturday, and I only did that once.
GuideWe have stayed here a few times. I have a sister that lives here and this place is only about 3 miles from us! $80 for a back in space.
ScoutWe stayed 2 nigths, 10$ per night. The staff was very kind. The place has showers and bathrooms clean enough for being it the middle of towns. Each space has a fire ring and a table. There's a little bit of noise in the morning and afternoon because of the cars that avoid the highway and pass nearby. It's first come first served. Overall, it's a very safe and good place to camp
ScoutThis park is completely understaffed, and the staff they do have are short and rude when talked to. Leaches in the water, goose poop all on beach area along with trash and dirty diapers. Management is never to be seen and the store they have is never open. Restrooms had poop on walls, birds in the bathroom, toilet paper everywhere. They constantly have water problems. They have an abundance of wasps also.
ScoutShowers are clean, lots of play area, for kids.boating
ScoutEverything was great, but just make sure you don’t park on the grass because of the sprinklers.
GuidePopped in and only a few campers there. A bridge away from towns. Hot showers. Squirrels galore. Ill be back.
