    SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

    Along the Sacramento River Delta, the Hood area provides multiple camping options with convenient access to both water recreation and urban amenities. SacWest RV Park & Campground offers full hookup sites for RVs, tent camping areas, and cabin rentals within easy reach of Sacramento. Waterfront options include Sherwood Harbor Marina & RV Park and Ko-Ket Resort, where campers can enjoy direct river access with boat-in capability. Most established campgrounds in the region feature amenities like showers, electrical hookups, and picnic tables, while several include cabin accommodations for those seeking more comfort.

    Camping in the Hood area remains accessible year-round with mild Delta climate conditions, though summer reservations should be secured well in advance due to high demand for waterfront sites. Most campgrounds provide water and electric hookups, with several offering full sewer connections for extended stays. The proximity to Sacramento means easy access to supplies and services, with many sites situated within 30 minutes of urban conveniences while still providing riverside relaxation. Cell service is generally reliable throughout the region, and most campgrounds have paved roads suitable for all vehicle types. As one visitor noted, "Great little campsite with a 50s vibe right outside the city of Sacramento. The bathrooms and showers are clean, and there are restaurants close by."

    Waterfront camping ranks consistently high in visitor reviews, with several Delta locations offering private docks and water access. Ko-Ket Resort receives particular praise for its location, with one camper sharing, "This place is awesome! Has a cute restaurant on the water too. Very clean facilities, it's right on the water - the California delta river." Family-friendly amenities appear throughout the region's campgrounds, including swimming pools, playgrounds, and pet-friendly policies at most locations. While tent campers have fewer options than RV travelers, several campgrounds accommodate both with dedicated tent sites. Proximity to fishing, boating, and swimming opportunities represents a major draw for visitors, with multiple reviewers highlighting the peaceful atmosphere despite being relatively close to urban areas.

      Lake Solano County Park

      Friendly staff, nice sites

      We enjoyed our stay here while visiting Napa. Extended our stay. Peacocks on the property and rogue goats. Boat launch was not operable on our side of the park.

      Riverside Campground — Castle Crags State Park

      first camping trip

      This place was a blessing. Rangers were very kind and informative however price is misleading at riverside it’s more expensive $25 a night. Felt safe and quiet for the most part beside the train.

      Sherman Island Regional Park

      Kite Surfers Dream

      This location is perfect for people who are looking for the wind. Everyone is pretty respectful of one another. First come first serve $45/night. Not well maintained the road was flooded and it hadn’t rained in weeks in the area. Not well maintained. Must have self contained camper: van, rv, trailer. Tight quarters, it’s like a parking lot of vehicles camping right next to one another. There is a boat launch.

      Beals Point Campground — Folsom Lake State Recreation Area

      Lake fun near Sacramento

      General: Beals Point is one of two locations on Folsom Lake for camping. Large campground with a mix of electric and non-electric campsites plus some group sites. 

      Site Quality: Drives are paved and mostly level. We camped in a little “cul-de-sac” with just four sites. While these sites back up to the American River Bike Trail (aka Jedediah Smith Recreation Trail), it was overgrown, and I did not see direct access to the trail as we did the last time we were here. 

      Bath/Shower: Typical CA state park layout– all-gender units with toilet and sink (but no soap, towels, or dryers) and showers. Unlike other CA state parks, these take quarters instead of tokens. The units could use a little TLC, but what was most disheartening was how other campers had trashed them– toilet paper (and worse) scattered all over the insides. Obviously not the fault of the campground. 

      Activities/Amenities: Folsom Lake is the draw, and people were fishing, kayaking, and swimming. The 32-mile paved multi-use American River Bike Trail is easily accessible. There is a snack bar/concession stand for beach rentals, but it was not open when we were there. 

      Our stay here this time was over a weekend; it was completely full, and it reminded us once again that we prefer to camp during the week and shoulder seasons when campgrounds are less crowded!

      Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park Tower Park

      I’m so sad

      We had been looking forward to this camping trip, but unfortunately our experience at Yogi Bear’s Jellystone Park in Lodi was very disappointing. Before our trip, I paid the Lock Fee($40) specifically to guarantee the campsite we had selected. However, when we arrived, we were assigned to a completely different site. After setting up our trailer, we went back to the office to ask about it. Instead of correcting the mistake, another employee told us that we didn’t even have a reservation and that we needed to leave the campground. We had to search through our emails, show our reservation confirmation, and even provide proof of payment from our bank before they finally found our reservation. Only then were we moved to the campsite we had originally reserved and paid extra to secure. Unfortunately, the worst part happened on our last night. We were camping with friends, and between us we had two electric bikes—one worth nearly$5,000 and another worth over$1,000. We went to bed around 2:30 a.m., and everything was still there. When we came out of our trailers around 8:30 a.m., both bikes had been stolen. We immediately called the police. The responding officer told us that just two weeks earlier, another camper had all of the sound equipment stolen from their vehicle at the same campground. What disappointed us most is that the campground doesn’t appear to have adequate security measures, such as surveillance cameras, and there was no warning at check-in that thefts had recently occurred. Had we known there was an increased risk, we would have taken additional precautions with our valuables. When families choose a campground like this, they expect a safe, relaxing environment where they can enjoy nature without worrying that expensive belongings will disappear overnight. The campground has great amenities and is a fun place for families, but our experience with the reservation issues and the lack of security left us extremely disappointed. I hope management takes these concerns seriously, improves security, and is more transparent with guests so other families don’t have the same experience we did.

    Guide to Hood

    Camping spots near Hood, California provide direct access to the Sacramento Delta's extensive waterways across 1,000 miles of navigable channels. Most campgrounds in this area sit at near sea level elevations with relatively flat terrain. Summer temperatures regularly exceed 90°F from June through September, while winters remain mild with occasional fog and temperatures rarely dropping below 40°F.

    What to do

    Boat access fishing: The Sacramento River Delta offers excellent fishing opportunities directly from several campgrounds. At Sherwood Harbor Marina & RV Park, visitors can enjoy "free fishing with no license required" according to a camper who noted the "outstanding location, right on the river with a swimming beach."

    Cycling adventures: Paved bike trails connect several camping areas to longer routes. Cal Expo RV Park provides "direct access to the bike path which goes for miles and miles and connects to other trails which made our stay really great," as one reviewer mentioned.

    Family water activities: The Delta's waterways provide numerous options for swimming and boating. At Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park Tower Park, families can enjoy extensive water amenities. One visitor noted: "There is the activities in club house, mini golf, lasher tag, playground, bounce pillow, basketball, volleyball, dodge ball, hayride, parade with Yogi which the kids all follow him on their bikes."

    What campers like

    Waterfront sites: Many campers prioritize direct water access. At Ko-Ket Resort, visitors appreciate being "right on the water - the California delta river. They have paddle boards you can rent and go out on the water in the morning."

    Clean facilities: Well-maintained bathrooms and showers consistently receive positive mentions. At SacWest RV Park & Campground, one visitor appreciated "Wonderful ada bathroom/showers with a fold down bench" and noted the "camp site is clean. You can order food and they will deliver."

    Easy dock access: For boating enthusiasts, several campgrounds offer convenient docking. A visitor to Sherwood Harbor Marina & RV Park described it as a "largely undiscovered gem of a spot" with "beautiful spaces to park your RV with a view of the river and small local marina."

    What you should know

    Weather considerations: The Delta region experiences significant seasonal wind patterns. At Brannan Island State Recreation Area, visitors note it can be "hot and windy (seriously, it's like being in a super hot wind tunnel)."

    Site selection matters: Campground layouts vary significantly with some sites offering more privacy than others. At SacWest RV Park & Campground, one camper advised: "We stayed at the side close to the highway so it was a bit noisy but not too bad."

    Pet policies differ: Dog restrictions vary between campgrounds. A would-be visitor to Sherwood Harbor Marina & RV Park shared: "I called to stay one night. I have a German shepherd service dog with medical paperwork to support that. They still said no and didn't care if my dog was a service dog or not."

    Tips for camping with families

    Age-appropriate campgrounds: Some locations specifically cater to families with young children. At Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park, a visitor observed it's "Great for kids under 14" and elaborated that "We go with several families with kids 5-13 and they all have a blast."

    Wildlife awareness: Local fauna can be part of the camping experience but requires precautions. At Rancho Seco Recreation Area, a camper advised to "make sure you put your food away at night raccoons will get your food and snacks."

    Beach options: Several campgrounds offer swimming areas suitable for children. At Beals Point Campground, a visitor shared it's a "great family friendly area. I suggest staying on the main beach with the provided lifejacket area if with children as the other rock areas near the beach suddenly can drop off underwater very deep."

    Tips from RVers

    Shower facilities: RV campers often evaluate bathroom amenities when selecting campgrounds. At Flag City RV Resort, a visitor found it was "Squeaky clean and organized. Nice pool and hot tub, nice laundry facilities (more than one!), moderately sized paved and level sites, nice store with a few local wines, AND HUGE fenced area to walk your dog OFF LEASH."

    Delivery services: Some locations provide convenient food options. A visitor to SacWest RV Park & Campground appreciated that you can "order food and they will deliver. Wonderful ada bathroom/showers with a fold down bench. Friendly staff."

    Site surfaces: RV sites vary in surface type and levelness. At Flag City RV Resort, campers find "clean concrete patches, small trees with little or no shade but full hookups," though one visitor noted the $58/night rate somewhat expensive for what's provided.
