Cabin accommodations near New Hogan Lake can be found within a 45-minute drive radius, with options ranging from rustic to modern units. The foothills location at approximately 600-800 feet elevation creates mild winters and hot summers, making cabin rentals appealing year-round. Water levels at nearby lakes fluctuate seasonally, affecting the proximity of waterfront cabins to shorelines.
What to do
Fishing opportunities: Lake Amador Resort offers excellent fishing access with their cabins positioned near stocked waters. "Fabulous lakeside camping.... We've been in March, May, July and September..... The lake is stocked with Trout, Bass and Catfish. Tackle Box Cafe is really good, weekends only, and the staff is kind and helpful," notes one camper at Lake Amador Resort.
Water activities: Rancho Seco Recreation Area provides cabin rentals near swimming areas with beach access. "It has free showers there and the campground are awesome and you can camp right on the water. They have boat rentals and a fishing derby every year too. It just great and has a beach and they lake is nice size," explains a visitor to Rancho Seco Recreation Area.
Wildlife viewing: The cabin areas around New Hogan Lake offer opportunities to observe local wildlife. "The wildlife is RIGHT THERE! We saw a tarantula near the tee box on 2. I woke up with 4 deer casually strolling through our campsite, a huge group of turkeys were cruising around the whole weekend," shares a camper from Lake Amador Resort.
What campers like
Seasonal promotions: Some cabin facilities offer discounted rates during off-peak periods. "We even received a Spring Flash Sale (40% off) rate which, although more than we usually spend to camp, was reasonable," mentions a visitor to 49er Village RV Resort.
Pool facilities: Several cabin-offering campgrounds maintain swimming pools for guests when lake temperatures are less appealing. "The kids loved the stocked fishing ponds, and even better was the immaculate 2 swimming pools and playground! Everyone was busy having fun the whole time and the grounds were perfectly kept," reports a family who stayed at 49er Village RV Resort.
Outdoor kitchens: Community cooking areas supplement cabin amenities at some locations. "Small hiking trail that had some horse nearby that cam and said hi to us. Will definitely be coming back. Love that this place is open all year long," shares a visitor about Angels Camp Campground and RV.
What you should know
Shower facilities: Shower availability varies significantly between properties with cabin rentals. "The shower had good water pressure and hot water," notes a camper about 49er Village RV Resort, while another points out about Lake Tulloch RV Campground and Marina: "It's true that bathroom / toilets / showers aren't clean, they are quite old."
Reservation windows: Booking ahead is essential during peak periods. "We were lucky to have a spot at the dead center of the top of the mountain looking out at the lake (site 13) with a big shade tree," explains a Lake Tulloch visitor who secured a prime cabin location.
Wildlife considerations: Local wildlife may interact with cabin areas. "Deer are fearless & majestic, several 'packs' walked through our campsite all throughout Sunday night when everyone else was gone. They walked up to us to smell our campfire & our food," reports a camper at Lake Tulloch.
Tips for camping with families
Family recreation areas: Gold Country Campground Resort offers specialized facilities for children. "It has nice big pull through spots, park with pool and mini golf. Lots of stuff to keep kids busy. It's an older sport but feels like camping and not glamping," explains a visitor to Gold Country Campground Resort.
Swimming options: Several cabin locations feature swimming areas designed for children. "Amador is a laid back camping spot that never disappoints. Great for families. Not a party destination but you can still have a great time! They have a water hole with a fun slide, which is all kept nice and clean with tables you can sit at," notes a Lake Amador Resort camper.
Cabin capacity considerations: Check cabin occupancy limits when traveling with larger families. "We stayed in the cabin that sleeps 6. Super nice, close to the bathrooms," mentions an Angels Camp Campground visitor about their accommodations.
Tips from RVers
Site positioning: When booking cabin accommodations, consider the orientation for sun exposure. "We were advised on our arrival that the site I picked was in full sun, and we were moved to 'Shady Lane', site 18," explains a 49er Village RV Resort visitor who benefited from staff knowledge.
Wildlife precautions: Take measures to protect food supplies from local wildlife. "Nice quiet campground good fishing lake to fish just make sure you put your food away at night raccoons will get your food and snacks," advises a camper at Camanche Lake Blue Oaks Campground North Shore.
Camp store supplies: On-site stores stock varying levels of provisions. "Good sunsets! Lake water level was super low at end of summer & lake is hard to access. Unless you got a boat. Saw deer & wild turkeys. This park is huge. Can drive around & find a good spot to access the lake & go swimming," reports a Lake Amador Resort visitor describing the extensive property.
