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.

RV camping among the residence.
Stayed two nights and had our 8 year old grandson with us. We got what we were told was the best full hook up RV site. I can see a little bit of the lake which is very nice. There is a lot of permanent residence mobile trailer homes. Not at all what I expected. It is dirt, rocks and trees that don’t really provide shade. There were cigarette buts all over our camp site. There is a small fire pit but no bbq. For a good five hours today there was some shooting off a gun. Our dog happens to be afraid of that sound so she spent most of the day inside the trailer. When we arrived we had no picnic table and nobody would answer the phone. My husband and I ended taking one from the empty site next to us. Then this morning I called trying to get the Wi-Fi password. They gave me the wrong one, I called back, they never answered. I left a message, they never called back. My grandson and I walked down a small boat ramp to the lake. The area was full of trash and there was sludge at least a foot off the shore. From there you can see many of the small boat ramps off the backs of the permanent trailers and they were in complete disrepair. I get the feeling no one cares.
I can’t speak to any other area in this resort. Only where we are physically. My Husband did say there was a nice pond with picnic tables and shade, but the dog was not allowed to be there so that wasn’t something that we could enjoy.

Peninsula Campground — Folsom Lake State Recreation Area
Peninsula Campground
I wanted to find a spot somewhat close by and came across this one. I think it was because I went on a weekday but upon entering there’s no one at the front so there is no check in so you just go straight to your camp site. I wasn’t expecting there to be a distance from the campsite to your parking space but if you’re looking for a spot for van/SUV camping it’s a little difficult to find a spot. Some spots are better than others of course! Camp host was really friendly as well! Spotted some turkey, deer, and quail!

Eagles Nest 🦅
We booked the Eagles Nest campsite, and the views were awesome! We stayed two nights and had a good time. There are two spots down below the main road that are accessible but recommend at minimum AWD, especially if visiting during the rainy season. The host was very helpful got us a case of water and even had fresh eggs that we bought. 👍🏼

Not much camping in the but Skyline fit the bill. Typically RV style campsites but showers were good, and the grounds were beautiful. Good hiking trails as well.
Guide to Hood
The Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta region near Hood, California offers diverse camping options in a network of waterways at just 10 feet above sea level. Seasonal temperature swings mean summer highs can reach 95°F while winter brings cooler weather and occasional fog. Delta camping sites often have water access with established facilities for both tent and yurt camping across the region.
What to Do
Kayak rentals: At SacWest RV Park & Campground, visitors can access nearby waters. "It is the only RV parking in Sacramento that will allow you to stay for one night. Lots of things to do for kids: great playgrounds, swimming pool, more than 100 ducks going around!" notes Tatiana I.
Delta exploration: The waterways around Lake Camanche offer multiple recreation opportunities. "We've been camping here for 10 years now. Always 4+ campsites for 4-5 days around July 4th weekend to start our year off. Water is really nice!" shares Julie E.
Wildlife observation: The delta ecosystem hosts numerous bird species. A visitor at SacWest described it as "Serene and full of fowls," making it ideal for nature photography and birdwatching.
Fishing access: Many campgrounds provide direct fishing access from campsites. One camper at Lake Camanche mentioned, "We camped twice at this campground on the South Shore. Fishing is awesome! Hiking trails can be better."
What Campers Like
Direct water access: Sugar Barge RV Resort & Marina offers convenient water entry. "Sugar barge is right on the delta. They have a boat trailer parking lot and a boat ramp. They rent kyacks and have a restaurant that looks right over the water," reports Cynthia H.
Proximity to urban amenities: Sites like Cal Expo RV Park balance outdoor access with city conveniences. "Inter city RV Park at Cal Expo. Great Bike paths adjacent along the river into Downtown or up to Folsom. All Full hook up sites on gravel or asphalt," notes Paul N.
Tent-specific areas: While many sites focus on RVs, some offer designated tent camping. At Sugar Barge, one camper mentioned, "The tent-area was a clearing, fully backed up to the levee, with some shade and a water spigot. Appears to be only 4 'sites,' which are defined by picnic tables, GENEROUSLY spaced."
Winter camping options: Unlike many seasonal locations, some Hood-area campgrounds remain open year-round. "Our go to campground for Winter Camping and Fishing," shared a Lake Camanche visitor. "We were the only ones camping on Christmas Weekend and we had a few neighbors when we went again in mid January."
What You Should Know
Seasonal crowds: Summer months bring significant visitor increases. "Weekends are filled up and busy, but during the week days it's nice and quiet," notes a Lake Camanche reviewer.
Wind conditions: The delta's geography creates consistent wind patterns. At Brannan Island State Recreation Area, a visitor warned it's "noisy (lots of traffic on the main road bc of all of the boating traffic), hot and windy (seriously, it's like being in a super hot wind tunnel)."
Reservation timing: For peak seasons, plan well ahead. "Always 4+ campsites for 4-5 days around July 4th weekend (reserve at least 6 months out)," advises a Lake Camanche camper.
Yurt camping availability: The Hood area offers limited yurt camping options with most structures requiring advance booking. Structures range from basic canvas wall tents to more substantial cabins.
Foxtail grass hazards: Pet owners should note potential hazards. At Brannan Island, one visitor cautioned the area is "full of grasses like foxtails (that are quite dangerous for dogs, especially when they're dry!)"
Tips for Camping with Families
Youth-focused activities: Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park Tower Park specializes in family programming. "This was a nice campground that focuses around child/family activities. There is always something for kids to do. Campsites are nice. Restrooms are clean," reports Stephanie B.
Weekend entertainment options: Some sites offer scheduled activities. A Jellystone visitor shared, "We go for Halloween and there is trick or treating through the whole place, a haunted house and a decor and costume contest. Our kids really enjoy the freedom to go play while the adults sit back and relax."
Safety considerations: Family sites often have specific rules. "Caution drive slowly there are little kids everywhere!" warns a Jellystone Park camper.
Budget planning: Family activities may incur additional costs. "There are plenty of things to do for your kids but be prepared to spend a lot of money for a site for the weekend," notes a Jellystone visitor.
Tips from RVers
Site selection strategy: At Delta Shores Resort and Marina, location matters. "Very nice flat green grassy cover camp sits. Like your camping in your home backyard. 30 and 50amp campsite," notes one RVer who adds advice about water management: "Praticeing good water management. Dish pans in sink to dump water out on grassy lawns."
Hookup positioning: Some sites have challenging utility layouts. A visitor at Sugar Barge mentioned, "My only complaint, the water spigot is really close to the ground and really close to the sewer drain. Scrub with bleach before booking up your water and you'll be fine."
Noise considerations: Urban proximity means potential noise issues. A Cal Expo visitor noted, "It is quite noisy at night with traffic, sirens and other noise."
Off-season advantages: Consider scheduling outside peak periods. "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," reports a Lake Camanche visitor.
