Several RV parks near Lathrop provide full hookup capabilities for motorhomes and travel trailers. Flag City RV Resort in Lodi features 180 sites with 50-amp electric, water, and sewer connections on level pads. Kit Fox RV Park in Patterson accommodates big rigs with full hookups and pull-through sites. At French Camp RV Park and Golf Course, RV sites include picnic tables, trash service, and both water and sewer connections, while Sugar Barge RV Resort on Bethel Island offers waterfront sites with 30-amp service and marina access. "Some sites are pretty close together. We have a nice site right now, but decided to park the truck at a nearby on-site lot due to the size of this space."
Most RV parks in the region require reservations, particularly during summer months when Delta waterways attract boaters and anglers. Access roads to several parks can present challenges—Rio Viento RV Park visitors note "the road in is very bumpy, so take your time." Cell service varies significantly between locations, with Sugar Barge reporting poor WiFi and cell reception even near the office. Dump stations are available at most parks, though Thousand Trails Turtle Beach has drawn mixed reviews about their hookup reliability. Pet policies differ between facilities, with Flag City offering a particularly large fenced dog area that allows off-leash exercise. Many parks in the area accommodate extended stays, with French Camp RV Park hosting numerous full-time residents in a well-maintained setting.

Lots of sites with privacy! Bathrooms are clean and they have coin operated showers. Dumpsters and water in various spots. Right on the river, a small beach access. Saw some cats. Bear box, picnic table, and fire pit at each spot.

Very quiet campground at night. See stars clearly. Use the fire pit after 730pm when the wind has calmed down.

Del Valle Campground — East Bay Regional Park District
East Bay Parks - IYKYK
Like most/all east bay parks, this is well appointed for the masses. It’s also surrounded by rolling hills and close to suburbia. For many, these are positives. As an east bay resident they are for me as well. Del Valle is a bit more removed than many east bay parks. From my location in Fremont, it’s a one hour drive. A pleasant drive for the most part. I camp to get away for a bit and almost always to mountain bike. As such, I seek parks that have trails. Del Valle has a map of many trails. They also appear on many of the mapping services used by mountain bikers. Review those and digest them if this is also your intention - these are east bay parka style trails. In other words, mostly steep and loose fire roads, with many “social trails” sprinkled between. If you are compelled to stay legit/legal trails, bring an ebike. Now on to the camping. I picked a spot as far removed from any booked spot on the map. I triple checked this up until the day before I arrived. I want solitude! When I arrived Thursday afternoon, I was surprised to see the sites just 3 spaces away, on both sides, occupied. This is a fairly compact area. And while I’m sure they’re lovely folks, this isn’t what I expected on a Thursday. Saturday? Sure. Anyway… be aware that these reservation services aren’t completely reliable in that regard. The bathrooms and showers are amazing! Clean, smell good, cared for. Noteworthy is the hot showers in the camp grounds are free and your one push of the button provides water for two minutes I'd guess. Very nice! The space, 135 for me, is okay. A couple trees for shade, a nice table and fire pit. It’s now dark and the noise is minimal - mostly from the group campsite just down the hill. I’ll update this with more details in the coming days since it’s a 4 day visit.
Update 1: it’s my first morning here. Using starlink as there is no cell signal to be found. What I noticed last night was that this park is directly below the flight path to the local airports. Every couple minutes last night, a plane would fly overhead. According to flight aware, they’re at about 10,000 feet. If this will ruin your getaway, you’ve been warned.
Update 2: On Friday night, the majority of the spots were filled. Many large groups of people with varying degrees of consideration, but to their credit almost all (except the barking German Shepard) were quiet by 10PM. It was a bit more crowded come Saturday morning. Some friends came to visit for a mountain bike ride, and we set off at about noon. I had been complimentary of the facilities and bragged that I'd be taking a nice shower after our ride. Unfortunately, upon our return, there was no hot water and no lighting in the showers. And, sadly, someone decided to remove the tags and hangers from their TJ Maxx haul and leave them all over the floor of two of the showers.
Verdict: I'd only come back here in the springtime when it's likely to be green and have some water in the arroyo and only during the week. The density and composition of the people here was akin to being at Costco on a Saturday, and I only did that once.

Stayed 2 nigths, it was perfect
We stayed 2 nigths, 10$ per night. The staff was very kind. The place has showers and bathrooms clean enough for being it the middle of towns. Each space has a fire ring and a table. There's a little bit of noise in the morning and afternoon because of the cars that avoid the highway and pass nearby. It's first come first served. Overall, it's a very safe and good place to camp

Beware rat infested
Stayed at this camp for a few months,then storages my basically new fifth wheel through the winter. When the hauler went to pick it up,there was significant damage done in which he took date and location stamped photos of while still parked next to the same RV we parked it by. When it arrived,it was even worse we had an active rat infestation that cost me over$3k repairs to all of my water lines and gas lines they had chewed through. Not including the mattresses,bedding ect we had to replace. I contacted the park,they ask for the photos and then said get an estimate and they would pay for repairs. It took me over a month to get an estimate,in which I had to pay for. For them then to decide they were not responsible now. Please do not store your nice items at this place! They do not care about you or your stuff. My insurance will be suing for all damages now.

Guide to Lathrop
Many RV parks near Lathrop, California sit along the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta waterways, where summer temperatures routinely exceed 90°F between June and September. The flat terrain surrounding Lathrop ranges from 20-23 feet above sea level, with most campgrounds positioned along waterways for fishing and boating access. Winter camping offers mild temperatures in the 50-60°F range with occasional fog.
What to do
Fishing at the Delta: Windmill Cove RV Park provides direct access to Delta fishing, with a waterfront location 15 minutes from Lathrop. "The beach to play and swim is about a 10min walk from your camper. But you will more than likely come across some great people that will have you hop on their golf carts and give you a lift," notes one camper.
Golf courses: French Camp RV Park and Golf Course combines camping with golfing access just 5 miles from Lathrop. "Nice place to stay. Was passing thru from south California. Very clean. Staff was pleasant to work with at check in," reports a visitor who enjoyed the proximity to golfing.
Wine tasting: Several Lodi wineries lie within 20 minutes of Lathrop area RV parks. "We wished we'd spent a few more days to explore the area, especially the wineries," notes a camper at Flag City RV Resort, which sells local wines in their small convenience store.
What campers like
Clean facilities: Campers consistently mention cleanliness as a standout feature at Thousand Trails Turtle Beach. "Stayed on large grass site next to the water. Very nice. Few amenities and staff was scarce but more than adequate. Lots of room to roam for people & pets," shares one reviewer who appreciated the spacious sites.
Large pet areas: Several campgrounds accommodate pets with designated areas. "AND HUGE fenced area to walk your dog OFF LEASH," notes an enthusiastic Flag City visitor about their pet facilities, adding "I'd give this place 6 stars if I could!"
Waterfront sites: Proximity to water draws many campers to Delta RV parks. Duck Island RV Park offers "Large open view to Sacramento River," according to one visitor who found it "one of the best for the money campground."
What you should know
Road conditions: Several campgrounds warn about access road issues. "The road in is very bumpy, so take your time," cautions a Rio Viento RV Park visitor, while another noted, "The only issue I had which has nothing to do with the park is the road leading into the park is extremely [rough]."
Connectivity challenges: Prepare for limited internet access at many Delta campgrounds. "Wifi and cell reception is really poor, even when you're right outside the office," reports a Sugar Barge visitor, while another campground reports "They have Wifi and you can upgrade for a price to streaming quality."
Reservation requirements: Summer weekends fill quickly at waterfront campgrounds. "Gets really busy weekends and holidays," warns a Duck Island RV Park reviewer, making advance reservations essential during peak season from May through September.
Tips for camping with families
Kid-friendly swimming: Some campgrounds offer direct water access for swimming. "Although we did have a water view space, the actual spot was very tight and small," notes a Windmill Cove visitor, adding that the swimming beach requires a short walk from camping areas.
Pool access: Several RV parks near Lathrop feature swimming pools for family use. "Comfortable and easy in and out facility. Restroom and showers are well kept. Store and check in area very nice," notes a Flag City RV Resort visitor about their pool and facilities.
Fishing ponds: Monument RV Park offers easier fishing for children compared to river access. "There is a fishing pond directly next to the campground and access to the lake just a few minutes away," explains a visitor who appreciated the multiple fishing options.
Tips from RVers
Hookup positioning: Check hookup location before setting up. "The utilities are on the back quarter of the pad. We needed 15' of sewer hose," notes a Flag City RV Resort camper, while at Monument RV Park "the sewer hookup is elevated so you will probably want sewer hose supports to lift your hose."
Site spacing considerations: RV parks vary significantly in site spacing. "Some sites are pretty close together," mentions a Rio Viento visitor, while Kit Fox RV Park provides "sites level, The Park staff are helpful" and reasonable space between units.
Wind preparation: Delta areas experience significant wind. "It can get really windy though," warns a Duck Island RV Park resident, suggesting RVers secure awnings and outdoor items during their stay.
