"I’ve been here about 8-10 times and every time I love my stay, it’s a quiet getaway around 45 mins away from me and the sound of the river is amazing."
"Place the cash ($28 a night) in the envelope and put it in the post that’s on the parking entrance."
"Beautiful fall surroundings right adjacent to the South Fork of the American River. Easy walk or car ride to numerous hiking trails."
"If you ever want to experience the thrill of gold panning, and California history go here!"
"Our site was next to the raft launch/pickup, so there were a couple of groups picked up during the day. Bathrooms were average and the site was maintained well."
"(Small cars made it down ther without difficulty)
Once at the camp ground, right on the waters edge, grab up the 3rd site on the right. It is literally on the edge of the river."
$48 / night
"As with most of California everything is dry. The lake is very low and a half mile walk from park to get to. The sites are surrounded by dry tall grass and spaced out nicely."
"As full timers- we thought we hit the jackpot for the area in order to be near the towns we wanted to explore and also have service for good wifi."
$24 - $48 / night
"The site was spacious and a short walk to the reservoir and trail. We hiked around the entire reservoir and it was gorgeous."
"The campsites are all very nice but 23 and 24 can’t be beat with the best access to the water ( you will have a lot of people walking by to get there also though)."
$28 / night
"Very quite camping spot very clean.coin operated showers😭 lake is very close by."
"Folsom lake is a great place to take the boat, beals point has a snack bar, life guards and equipment rentals, there are plenty of places you can drive or boat to get away from the crowds if you prefer"
"Just know that here on The Dyrt, the location on the map for some reason shows it as being many miles away from Kidder Ct: it’s marked as if it is at Higgins Corner, halfway to Auburn?"
"Super clean and friendly
Not congested and close to many hiking trails Easy drive and close to Nevada City.
Especially nice during Christmas Season. Feels like walking back in time."

"A lovely quiet spot midweek, quiet drive to Georgetown for some great breakfasts if you want some classic American diner fare."
"Close to Georgetown and to the El Dorado National Forest. Super clean and easy to get to. Signs off 193 are well marked! The have horse corrals too if you’re into that. Highly recommend!"

"This is a smaller but nice lake. It hasn’t ever been over crowded when I’ve gone. The reason I like this spot is because campsites C3-C10 have the most shade you can hope for!"
"They have a convenience store that is walkable distance to get supplies, food, candy from.
You should reserve a spot right on the lake. If you have a boat you can anchor it right in front."
ScoutStayed here 7 months besides the constant nagging from maintenance… which I get… it’s nice and they wanna keep it that way. Overall great place to stay NOV-JUNE
ScoutConcrete pads newer campground. Heated pool, friendly staff. Shopping 1.5 miles away . Great local wineries in the area
ScoutCute campground if you are not looking for a quiet in-nature experience. The highway noise is dominant!
GuideFirst off, we're members here. It's one of our four base camps across the US. That said, there is plenty to do no matter how you dress.
RangerWe were in Sacramento to visit with family. Spent 4 nights mid week at Cal expo RV park. The campground is very flat. Part is concrete part is gravel. I found the campground to be very quiet during our stay and well maintained. Basically just a parking lot no frills. There are no picnic tables at your site. The shower house has a $20 deposit for a key. This is refunded on return of the key. Showers/ restrooms are average but clean. Overall a good place to park for a few nights. Sites have full hookups if you want them
ScoutClean and friendly staff.
Nice stop for showers, laundry and relaxation.
ScoutWe stayed for one night and thought it was nice. We had a couple of trees behind us to filter some of the sunlight. It was hot but cooled down nicely during the evening. We had some debris from previous campers but the campsite was pretty clean.
GuideIt was a nice place to stay in between a lot of trees. We stayed at the side close to the highway so it was a bit noisy but not too bad. The people were friendly! It was a bit too pricey though. We paid around 100 bucks for a normal site, nothing fancy.
A little side information: if you allergic to pollen, especially trees you should be careful at the moment. The campsites are directly located under mulberry trees. They triggered severe hay fever symptoms in me.
GuideCheap and convenient. The area is kind of sketchy, but it worked for one night and we didn't have any trouble. Looks like there's a lot of people there who are overstaying the allowed number of days.
