Coloma Resort
Nice place next to river
This place is north east of Sacramento. Coloma resort is what some friends call "Glamping", but it's so much more than that. You can tent camp (it's covered sites for camping too), rent a cabin or RV camp. Great sites along the river too. One negative, is you have to book way ahead of time, but it's well worth it. You can pan for gold, relax, or bike, hike along the river, and kids can play along several playgrounds for kids of different ages. A large grass area great for games, and if you are up for it, rafting, kayaking and fishing in the cold American river. You can also learn some history about the discovery of gold and check out Sutter Mill!

American River Resort
Very nice location on the river. Will return
This park is located very close to Sutter’s Mill where good was discovered. It also has a white water rafting business on site.
The terrain is steep with mostly smaller sites. Water pressure is excellent. Our site had 30 amp only and I doubt any of them have 50 amp. The power is not good. I had to bypass the surge suppressor because it kept cutting out due to low voltage. Voltage was generally 104-105.
There are very nice tent and yurt sites along the river.
They have a nice shower and there’s decent AT&T service.
I would be very cautious about coming here with a larger RV. Ours is 30’ bumper to bumper. I think 32 would be ok.
Be aware that Garmin nav might take you the wrong way. Apple Maps had it correct though.

Easy camping, affordable
Many sites, good water access, but not a lot of shade or flat ground for tents. Affordable. Not the prettiest scenery in California, but a cheap and reliable way to get some quick nature. Allows dogs.

Family of 4 roof top tent camping
Nice campground - close to river. .5 mile walk to town for shopping/eating. All sites have fire pit and picnic table. Bathrooms clean and private showers. A little pricey for a tent site - 45.00 and 5.00 for the dog but it’s California.

RV spot with private dock+deck!
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. They have paddle boards you can rent and go out on the water in the morning. They have cute little cottages people can rent too. Very peaceful and fun atmosphere. They had live music on the Saturday we were there. Highly recommend!

Deers-a-plenty
The lake has receded quite a but that one of the docks is about 100 yards from the actual lake now (California drought). The campsite was well maintained. Each camping section seams to have it's own restroom within 2 minutes walking distance. The wildlife was " people friendly" to say the least. I had a family of deer pretty much monitoring my whole trip plus they couldn't seam to wait until I went to bed to come check out my camping gear 😊

Gold panning!
If you ever want to experience the thrill of gold panning, and California history go here!
You will not strike it rich, but with a couple hours of effort you can get a nice little bottle of gold flakes to take home with you.
Campground “resort” caters to the cabin and RV crowd. Very pleasant, with a cool old bridge to cross the river. If it’s hot outside, you need to be in the river!

Extended stays
A good clean campground, popular in central California. Reasonably priced $20 per night. They do accept golden age passes which reduces your nightly expense to $10 per night maximum 15 days for the month. Geared mostly for small trailers and tents, however, they do have some sites for larger RVs drive-through 40 foot max and roadside, slide outs might cause a problem. Park managers are very professional, courteous and pleasant. Bathrooms are a problem for cleanliness dump station is available for RVs. If you have a portable black tank, it would work out better for you on extended stays when dumping your black tank. If you are self-contained, you won’t have any difficulties at all.

Camanche Lake Blue Oaks Campground North Shore
Not so quite after dark
Great clean, friendly camping area. Only complaint was neighbors being extremely loud past 1200 midnight. Birds wake you up gently in the morning. Lake view. $25 for standard campsite with check out of 2pm and full use of the day area all day after. Not bad for the price!!

Lake Camanche
Been here many times
We have come here many times. It’s a neat little area. The kids can ride their bikes, play in the park, they have a volley ball net and have had outdoor movies. The lake is great, we have even rented boats and gone out. The kids loved the fishing pond. Wind can be strong at times. Deer do like to come through. I don’t recommend the middle of summer as it can be really hot.

Fun Spot low cell service
We have been going to camanche Lake for years . Low cell service but very nice place to tent camp. Last year, they gave us our spot we set up, then was told they made a mistake and made us move spots, but the new spot was closer to the water and that made the kids happy. Kinda a hassle, but it worked out. We love it at this lake.

Lake Camanche
One of my favorite places!
My family and I do a big camping trip here every year, for the past 6 years. We love it. We’ve been there during drought years and when the water is back at normal levels. Typically when we go is summer, late July to early August, and majority of the grass is dead and it’s HOT, but the water makes up for it. The water isn’t freezing, it’s usually pretty warm. The lake isn’t huge, but makes for great boating. The only downsides are: tends to be a lot of trash/bottle caps/etc and not even trash can space, the shores in certain areas are filled with big rocks and don’t make it very fun for trying to swim in the water, and shade can be limited depending on where you’re staying. Weekends are filled up and busy, but during the week days it’s nice and quiet.

Beautiful and clean - South Shore
Been to South shore a few times. It’s family friendly and very relaxing. Easy access to the lake. Campground is well maintained. Bathrooms are always clean and with hot water. No shower at this site. But there’s one close by at the Riverview, walking distance. Oaks Campground is alcohol free site. Park Rangers drive by frequently. No cellphone service here.

Beautiful Lake and Sunset
Went to Riverview Campground in April 2021. The campground was clean as usual. During the pandemic, they closed every other site, therefore, it felt safer and not over crowded. We had a great time and enjoyed the view especially the sunset. This campground has a shower with hot water. Lots of trees around. Water faucet close by, as well as trash bins. Easy access to the lake. Short drive to the camp store. We had a cellphone service at this site when we were there. This is my favorite site so far in Lake Camanche South Shore. It’s cozier than other sites.

Lake Life
We’ve been camping here for 10 years now. Always 4+ campsites for 4-5 days around July 4th weekend (reserve at least 6months out) to start our year off. And at least once a month thru Sept/Oct. So far It’s been a fantastic place for our families to meet and have fun together. Water is really nice!! Showers and laundry areas are cleaned daily. Rangers drive around to check on people. Boats have access to beaches hidden down a narrow river like area. Very beautiful!! An prices are very reasonable! However, this year has been very disappointing. The beaches are cluttered with tons of glass an garbage. Mostly bc the low water is exposing more. No one answers the phones at the gate. If you need a ranger after 10p GOOD LUCK! We decided to find an app to explore our options.

Good facilities overall. Got very crowded on the weekend. We were backed up to the trout pond. Lots of dogs, and unfortunately some owners that don't know how to be respectable. Wish more things were opened up, like the amphitheatre, and that there were shower facilities in the RV park area l. Lake wasn't too far of a walk considering it is low due to drought. Would go back. Easy drive from the Bay Area

Great Off Season
We stayed at the lake for one night, mid-week, off season. We were only one of a few handful of RVs in the RV section of the campground. I could imagine it being a loud party-scene in the summer. But in the early spring, it was full of bird songs and a gorgeous sunset. Decent cell service, no wifi.

Great for water playing kids
Cool for a weekend stay. We don't have boat and did not rent one, but the kids had a great time with just the floaties. If you have a boat and other watercrafts there is lots to do. Tlhe place could use some more bathrooms and water stations, but it was well kept considering how many people are using the facilities. This is not the place to go if you are looking for peace and quiet in nature. There were a whole lot of people.

Our go to campground for Winter Camping and Fishing
We camped twice at this campground on the South Shore. The lake has a North Shore Campground as well. We were the only ones camping on Christmas Weekend and we had a few neighbors when we went again in mid January. There are several campsites in the South Shore location. We stayed in the Riverview site where there is no alcohol permitted. We liked the site because we can launch our kayaks from our campground down to the lake. Fishing is awesome! Hiking trails can be better. There is a general store at the boat marina and ramp.
