"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."
"Wicked August heat, BUT there’s the lake! 5 Stars — were it not for the SLOBS who preceded us!!"

"Fabulous lakeside camping.... We’ve been in March, May, July and September..... July, just too hot but we love being able to just get up and fish... The lake is stocked with Trout, Bass and Catfish."
"Our site was awkwardly slanted (so I thought we would trip and fall into the lake) but on the lake so that was nice. 4 wheel drive recommended since I saw people struggling to get in and out of sites."
from $25 - $45 / night
"We did a lot of kayak fishing and relaxing by the lake. We were able to walk the kayaks down with no problem."
"This campground is located in Lake Pardee. Some sites have a beautiful view of the lake. Lake View also has several RV sites but reservations go quickly. The lake is for fishing and boating only."
"Electric, water, sewage hook up all easy access. Each site comes with fire ring and picnic table, all also in the shade."
"There is no shower and only a couple outhouses so it’s definitely only if you want to use your camper/rv bathroom."
"Great location and full hook ups. Open year round, planning on coming back during the Winter!"
"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"
"It is very dry, the Lake New Malones was down quite a bit. We swam in the lake the water was great. However, we did not bother with the Kayaks. It’s really not a kayak lake more of a speed boat lake."
"New Melones was not a top destination but it was close to a very special place for us, Natural Bridges."
from $150 / night
"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!!"

"Super nice, close to the bathrooms. There's a community outdoors kitchen with stove and sink. Small hiking trail that had some horse nearby that cam and said hi to us. Will definitely be coming back."
"Close to lots of cute towns and wineries."
Beautiful area, full hookups, not parking lot camping, well maintained. New owners very friendly.
Four nights, warm days and cool nights. Rustic and plenty to see and do.
The campsites are so big and it's right on the river. The bathrooms are clean, hiking is forever and it's 8 miles up from the highway so most people don't know about it. It's quiet and there is a big sandy beach.
I had a great time! I definately went on an off time as I think there were only a few other people at the campground. Some sites would be really close together if it was full.
It was a great retreat out in nature! Many bathrooms and they were all clean. No cell service however a five minute drive down the hill can have you at full bars if needed. There was lots of shade as every campsite was absolutely surrounded by trees.
The campsite is set along one side of the middle fork of the Cosumnes River and is quite lovely. It is a popular campground on weekends so reservations are recommended. There are outhouses and fresh water available. Cell service is very spotty (we have Verizon) but drive up the road a half mile and you'll get a signal. There are places to fish and swim in the river, with several day use areas in the campground.
Showers are clean, lots of play area, for kids.boating
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.
Ok, but you guys need to improve lots stuff. Pool was out of order, stuff were not that friendly, I would suggest if you can concrete sites, hard for in and out
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.
New Hogan Lake sits at approximately 700 feet elevation in California's Sierra foothills, 30 miles east of Stockton. The reservoir spans 4,400 surface acres with 50 miles of shoreline when full, creating varied camping environments from exposed hillsides to partially shaded sites. Summer temperatures regularly exceed 90°F between June and September, while spring and fall bring milder conditions.
Kayaking and paddling access: Multiple campgrounds offer direct lake access for non-motorized watercraft. "We got in our kayaks for an awesome day paddle around the many coves of this reservoir. Since the lake level fluctuates there aren't many good beaches, but you can pull off to have a picnic lunch," notes a visitor at Acorn Campground.
Disc golf courses: The area features multiple courses for disc golf enthusiasts. One camper at Lake Amador Resort explained: "As disc golfers, of course we love camping here, having 3 courses to choose from. But there is something for everyone in the family here, there is amazing fishing, boating and swimming."
Fishing opportunities: New Hogan Lake supports multiple fish species with varying seasonal patterns. "The lake is stocked with Trout, Bass and Catfish. Tackle Box Cafe is really good, weekends only, and the staff is kind and helpful," shares a regular visitor to Lake Amador Resort.
Wildlife viewing: Campers frequently mention wildlife encounters near campsites. "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," reported an enthusiastic visitor at Lake Amador Resort.
Stargazing conditions: Clear night skies make star viewing exceptional. A camper at Tuttletown Recreation Area noted: "It was so dark that I was able to do some great astrophotography." The area's distance from major cities creates minimal light pollution.
Swimming options: Several campgrounds offer designated swimming areas. "Acorn Campground is great for tent and RV camping. Warm weather so great for swimming. Good for fishing, boating (they have a launch), kayaking, paddle boarding and you can bring bikes and scooters for the kids," explains one reviewer.
Variable lake levels: Water levels fluctuate significantly throughout the year affecting shoreline access. "The lake level varies wildly throughout the year, sites that are right on the lake can end up being hundreds of feet from the lake if the water level is low. Early summer is the best time to go for high lake levels," warns an experienced camper at Acorn Campground.
Limited shade at some sites: Many campgrounds have minimal tree cover. A visitor to COE New Hogan Lake Coyote Point Campground mentioned: "Lot of people nice place no shade." Consider bringing shade structures during summer months.
Campsite spacing varies: Site proximity differs significantly between campgrounds. "Acorn campground is a great campground for boaters, or anyone looking to camp near a lake. Located on New Hogan Reservoir, there are multiple boat ramps, and large sites, many of them right on the lake," notes one camper.
Dedicated swimming areas: Some campgrounds feature kid-friendly water access. "There is a water hole with a fun slide, which is all kept nice and clean with tables you can sit at. I would recommend a pop up tent for shade if you go to the water hole," recommends a regular visitor to Lake Amador Resort.
Playgrounds available: Several campgrounds offer play equipment. "There is an old school playground for the kids. The staff is super friendly and always there to help. I take my kids at least 3-4 times a year and enjoy any of the seasons," shares a family camper from Lake Amador.
Bathroom considerations: Facilities vary widely between campgrounds. "The main bathroom building had clean flush toilets and showers, but there were a few extra vault toilets scattered around. Fresh water taps and recycling/trash bins were plentiful," reports a visitor to Lake Tulloch RV Campground and Marina.
Site selection strategy: RVers should research specific site dimensions. "The campground offers a range of pull-through and back-in campsites along the slopes of the rolling hills, but most of the individual sites were flat and could accommodate a wide variety of rig sizes," notes an RVer who stayed at Acorn Campground.
Sewer hookup configuration: Some campgrounds have unusual sewer connections. A camper at Monument RV Park observed: "The hookups worked good but the sewer hookup is elevated so you will probably want sewer hose supports to lift your hose."
Luxury glamping close to New Hogan Lake: For RVers seeking upscale glamping accommodations, several options exist. "We stayed in the cabin that sleeps 6. Super nice, close to the bathrooms. There's a community outdoors kitchen with stove and sink," reports a visitor who enjoyed luxury glamping near New Hogan Lake at Angels Camp Campground and RV.
