Woodward Reservoir and Modesto Reservoir provide full-hookup RV sites with paved parking pads and water/electrical connections. Both reservoirs feature camping loops specifically designed for motorhomes with shore power and water hookups at each site. "Located just outside of oakdale, very similar to that of Modesto reservoir as it is managed by the same people. Has paved looped campgrounds and has all necessary hook ups for rv/motorhome camping," notes one visitor. Lake Tulloch RV Campground and Marina accommodates larger RVs with lakefront sites, though some areas have limited shade. Thousand Trails Turtle Beach offers level sites with 50-amp service for big rigs, maintaining clean grounds year-round.
Throughout the region, most RV parks remain open all seasons, though summer weekends fill quickly at lakeside locations. Several facilities provide sanitary dump stations, with French Camp RV Park maintaining particularly clean dumping facilities according to user feedback. Cell service varies considerably between valley and foothill locations. Pet policies differ by park—Lake Tulloch permits dogs but requires leashes at all times, while Olive Lane Mobile Estates limits campers to one dog per site. A recent review noted that Woodward Reservoir experiences seasonal water restrictions: "There are a few months during the year that they restrict the human contact with the lake water due to all the waterfowl poop in water." Advance reservations are recommended for weekend stays between May and September.

RangerOasis West RV Park
Convenient location - on 152, just west of I-5. The majority of the 115 sites are residential RVers, but there are a few sites available for short term. Clean and heated bathrooms, although dated; covered area with ping ping, pool, and tables and chairs. Pool, laundry, dog run area, and playground (closed for maintenance while we were here). No stray or feral animals; saw several people with dogs - all in a leash and behaved. The RV Park itself is very quiet - as essentially a residential area. The highway noise is fairly loud, thus the 4.

GuideDel 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.
Guide to Oakdale
Camping opportunities near Oakdale, California extend throughout the Sierra Nevada foothills at elevations ranging from 150 to 3,000 feet. The region experiences hot, dry summers with temperatures regularly exceeding 90°F and mild winters with occasional rainfall. Many camping areas maintain year-round accessibility, though water levels at reservoir sites fluctuate seasonally with irrigation demands.
What to do
Fishing access: Rainbow Pools offers a natural swimming area popular with families. "Yosemite Pine's proximity to Rainbow Pools is part of why we stay here. The kids can jump and swim there and that's all they really want to do anyway," notes a visitor at Yosemite Pines RV Resort.
Wine tasting tours: The campgrounds near Lodi provide convenient access to regional wineries. "This CG is mainly a short-term stay place but there are what seem to be permanent parties plus transient workers with site areas clean and organized. We wished we'd spent a few more days to explore the area, especially the wineries," reports a camper at Flag City RV Resort.
Gold panning lessons: Historical mining activities are preserved at several campgrounds. A visitor at 49er RV Ranch mentions, "Free gold-panning lessons on the site. The office has a good-sized bookshelf with plenty of good books and magazines. Cool '49 theme throughout the camp site."
What campers like
Riverfront camping sites: Several campgrounds feature water access directly from campsites. "We lucked out with a pretty big and shaded riverfront spot (site 73) and could not have been happier. Full hook up, VERY well maintained facilities," explains a camper at Thousand Trails Yosemite Lakes.
Spacious concrete pads: Higher-end rv sites near Oakdale, California often include well-constructed parking areas. "Very well maintained. The grounds are clean, nice level concrete spaces with lots of grass around them. Easy to social distance," notes a visitor at Jackson Rancheria RV Park.
Petting zoos and animal encounters: Family-oriented resorts provide additional attractions. "Petting zoo animals were adorable. Nice location to Yosemite. Friendly interactions with staff," shares a camper about their experience at Yosemite Pines RV Resort.
What you should know
Cell service limitations: Connectivity varies significantly between locations. "There is no cell service and the 'pay WIFI' did not work for us...but there is complimentary WiFi at the laundry to check in on things that works just fine," reports a camper at Thousand Trails Yosemite Lakes.
Propane availability: Several campgrounds offer on-site propane sales. "The CG has a small convenience store that sells ice and propane plus wine," mentions a visitor at Flag City RV Resort.
Sewer connection challenges: Some sites require additional equipment for proper hookups. At Monument RV Park, "The hookups worked good but the sewer hookup is elevated so you will probably want sewer hose supports to lift your hose."
Noise considerations: Proximity to highways affects ambient sound levels. A camper at Thousand Trails Turtle Beach notes it has a "Brilliantly located asking I-5 is this park. We paid $58 for the night, a clean concrete patch, small trees with little or no shade but full hookups."
Tips for camping with families
Pool facilities: Several parks maintain swimming pools for guests. "With a pool, petting zoo, a corral where they have a fire and s'mores followed by a movie, this is a great place to camp with the kids," shares a visitor at Yosemite Pines RV Resort.
Walking trails: Dedicated pathways provide recreation opportunities. "There's an awesome walking trail around the park. We had our 6 year old with us and she loved to scooter around the walking path with us," explains a camper at Jackson Rancheria RV Park.
Camping-friendly educational activities: Historical sites offer learning experiences. "Nearby attractions include Columbia state park, which is a preserved miners town, Moaning Caves SHP, Railtown, New Melones lake," reports a visitor at 49er RV Ranch.
Tips from RVers
Large rig accommodation: Several parks specifically cater to bigger vehicles. "Squeaky clean and organized. Nice pool and hot tub, nice laundry facilities (more than one!), moderately sized paved and level sites," notes a visitor at Flag City RV Resort about the rv camping options near Oakdale.
Security features: Some parks provide enhanced protection measures. "They have security patrol day and night. The pool and spa are under renovation but should open soon," shares a camper at Jackson Rancheria RV Park.
Seasonal considerations: Water levels affect recreational opportunities throughout the year. A camper at Monument RV Park notes, "There is a fishing pond directly next to the campground and access to the lake just a few minutes away. Great location and full hook ups. Open year round, planning on coming back during the Winter!"
