  Greenhorn Capground at Rollins Lake

  family lake day trip or camping

  Campground off the 80 heading toward Lake Tahoe from Sacramento. Can't hear the cars on the highway but close enough to stores if you forget something, although there is also a small shop to rent boats or buy sandwiches. Perfect for families (hence, there's a lot of families) for day trips or camping. Beautiful lake but no places to hike. If you want to splash in lake water, that's fine, but this campground is more fun if you have a boat because there are beaches to boat to that you cna take over and enjoy.

  Lake Clementine Boat In — Auburn State Recreation Area

  Charming primitive campground!

  Came to Mineral Bar in late September and loved it. It's only about an hour from Sacramento, including that windy road down into the canyon. The river was VERY low, but it was still fun to play around and float away the hot early fall afternoon. 

  The sites are fairly small and the campground has a funky layout. Squeezing two cars in most sites looked impossible. There is also no water, so be sure to bring enough for yourself.

  Sly Park Recreation Area

  Best camping trip ever !

  This is a well-kept and forest-dense camping spot. There are tons of activities to partake in: relax and do nothing, hike (entire lake is 9.5 miles with a waterfall!), kayak, fish, sun bathe, swim, play games at your camp, if you have a horse- camp with your horse in one of those sites). It just really is amazing that this gem is only (approx) 1 hour from Sacramento! I cannot wait to go again!

  Rancho Seco Recreation Area

  All types of fun !

  I love this place because it is about 45 minutes from the house.  There's plenty to do with lots of great sites.  The first time we went, they didn't have any annual passes because they lady was out that day. But the other day, we were able to finally get a season pass.  You can fish, hike, or swim here. The campsites are spacious and you don't feel over crowded if there is a family next to you. It's pet friendly. The store was recently redone and they offer a wide variety of items, from keep sakes to any necessity you may have forgotten ( lighter, logs, clothes shoes, etc... )  There also boat rental that are a fair price, plus you get them for an hour or so. ( You will have to check the prices and availability. ) There's a dog park for the dogs to roam free off the leash, which also has access to water/ beach area for the dogs only.

  SacWest RV Park & Campground

  Perfect for what it is.

  Perfect for what it is which is a basic parking lot RV park. The amenities are pretty great, lovely pool, petting zoo and my favorite the fenced dog park. Oh and they have a dog wash with leash clip!!! So many parks miss the opportunity for dog friendly features. They have the cleanest bathrooms i have ever experienced at an RV park.

  My only disappointment was the wifi connection specifically in communal spaces close to the office where it makes sense to have strong connection. Their rec room would be a perfect place to hey some work done if only the wifi was powerful enough. Since i was working on the road I was specifically in need of this amenity. I heard certain RV spots had great reception but unfortunately not ours.

  Vineyard RV Park

  Plug in and recharge!

  Took a last minute reservation. Call even if online says booked. Hot showers, great laundry facility, fenced dog park. I needed to recharge my camper van and relax from a couple weeks of city vanlife. Felt tucked away but close to every store you could want.

  Love it here

  We love how clean it is, and the staff is friendly. The surrounding areas are woodsy and our dogs love the dog park!

  SacWest RV Park & Campground

  A cute stay in the city

  We stayed here on our first foray into van camping. We were so surprised how clean the restrooms were. So far its been the best we’ve seen. My dog loved the off leash dog park. I waited until there was no one around because she’s a little skittish. Would recommend!
