What to do
Water recreation access: Rio Viento RV Park provides direct access to Delta waterways where campers can enjoy boating, fishing, and kayaking. "Beautiful, quiet clean dog friendly park with very nice helpful staff. Large brick sites. Road to get into the park is rough but take your time, it's worth the drive," notes one visitor.
Wine tasting tours: Several campgrounds serve as convenient bases for exploring nearby wine country. "We wished we'd spent a few more days to explore the area, especially the wineries," mentions a camper who stayed at Flag City RV Resort.
City excursions: Camping locations offer day-trip opportunities to San Francisco. "Drive in, park and then walk to all the sights you want to see in San Francisco. A short 10 minute walk from the RV park is the ferry that will drop you off downtown," reports a camper about Marin RV Park.
Delta fishing: Multiple RV parks provide fishing access. "Comfortable and easy in and out facility. Restroom and showers are well kept. Store and check in area very nice. Not a big fan of the lava rock site area, would prefer grass. Otherwise a nice stay with wineries, breweries, golf and other outdoor activities near by," shares a camper at Flag City RV Resort.
What campers like
