ScoutConcrete pads newer campground. Heated pool, friendly staff. Shopping 1.5 miles away . Great local wineries in the area
GuideNice spacious spots. No power or water hookups. Water spigots close by. Bathrooms with flush toilets and a single spacious shower. The shower needs to be updated.
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
ScoutMy family of four enjoyed camping here. Site 116 is great. It is a little steep to get to the fire pit but the view were worth it.
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.
ScoutThe RV park and cabins are private so can only be accessed via membership or introductory offer. Nice park with amenities and family oriented with nice swimming pool during May thru October
GuideSome friends of ours love North Fork Campground just off I-80 at Emigrant Gap, so we were going to try it on the way back from the California coast to Reno. North Fork Campground was nice, and would have been a good place to spend the night, but felt a bit dark and tight with dense foliage along the beginnings of the North Fork of the American River. We saw that Onion Valley Campground was just a bit further. Nobody there, so we took a spot at the far end of the campground next to the meadow. Very peaceful for a short afternoon stop and a morning departure.
