Best Glamping near Herald, CA

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!

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.

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 😊

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!

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.

Nice place quiet lots of places for big RVs pull through spots and back in spots they have spots for family reunions have showers store boat ramp nice place to camp North Shore is not for RVs it's for tent camping the South Shore has hookups 30 50 amp service full hookups all around a good place good people quiet time is 9:00 p.m. till 7:00 a.m. I believe doesn't mean you can't be up just no loud music no carrying on to disturb the other people lake is almost full

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

Expensive but kept up very well on the smaller camp sites

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.

Site: Monument Condition: Clean, fairly spacious RV sites Internet: Poor

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.

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.

I come here with my family every year around 4th of July. I would book way ahead for busy holidays like that. 

The water level really varies on the year. Sometimes the water is right up to the edge of the campsites and other years it's about a half-mile walk. Either way it's possible to get campsites with easy access to your boat or jet ski. Some of the campsites can be pretty close to each other so we generally get two or three spots and put our tents in between the two. 

There's portable toilets throughout and a centralized area with regular bathrooms, showers and even laundry machines. There's also a little shop near the boat loading area with food and gear.

I've had a lot of great memories here!

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.

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.

It's an easy to navigate park with many sites on the water. But beware of the bees!

Nearly any shade. More young adults who tend to be loud and drink alcohol all night.

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.
