Pet amenities: "Huge fenced area to walk your dog OFF LEASH," writes one visitor about Flag City RV Resort, adding "I'd give this place 6 stars if I could!" Several parks offer designated pet areas, though breed restrictions apply at some locations.
What you should know
Price considerations: RV parks around Galt typically range from $50-70 nightly. "It's a bit expensive, but not bad when considering the alternatives," notes a camper about SacWest, while another mentions "This place is nice, but it's all about making money" regarding the amenities-to-cost ratio.
Noise factors: Highway proximity affects several rv parks near Galt. "We did end up by the Maverick Truck Stop side of the park, but the noise was not too bad," reports a SacWest visitor, while another notes "It is very noisy near the 50 freeway, not much you can do about that."
Site spacing: RV parks vary in site density. A camper describes 49er Village RV Resort: "The back-in sites in the center back up to each other with no divider between them. I saw several large RVs look almost like they were touching!"
Weather considerations: Summer heat impacts comfort at many locations. "The tent-area was a clearing, fully backed up to the levee, with some shade and a water spigot. The Delta is h.o.t.!" notes a camper at Sherwood Harbor Marina & RV Park.
Tips for camping with families
Children's activities: "The kids loved the stocked fishing ponds, and even better was the immaculate 2 swimming pools and playground! Everyone was busy having fun the whole time," writes a visitor about 49er Village RV Resort.
Swimming options: "Outstanding location, Right on the river with a swimming beach and free fishing with no license required," notes a Sherwood Harbor visitor. Several parks offer water recreation alternatives when temperatures rise.
Age restrictions: Some RV parks near Galt limit young children. "We did try to stay there, they were okay with us having one dog and two boys ages 9 and 8, but as soon as we told them we had a baby they referred us somewhere else," reports a family attempting to stay at Sherwood Harbor.
Tips from RVers
Dump station availability: "We got a PW (power/water) site that was $20 cheaper a night than full hookup. Only stayed two nights while traveling through and there is a RV dump there, so easy enough," notes a SacWest camper, highlighting the cost-saving opportunity.
Leveling challenges: "Navigation into Delta-area parks may require careful attention to bridge weight limits and low-clearance warnings," with some sites requiring additional equipment. "Pads are paved and level," notes a camper at 49er Village, contrasting with gravel sites elsewhere.
Hook-up positioning: At Flag City RV Resort, "the utilities are on the back quarter of the pad. We needed 15' of sewer hose. The water pressure was okay at about 40 psi." Positioning varies between parks, requiring different hose and cable lengths.
