Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park Tower Park
I’m so sad
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.

Debbie L.ScoutLake Amador Resort
RV camping among the residence.
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.

Beautiful in Spring
Beautiful. Not crowded. All the RVs are on one shaded hillside. Nice to park in the trees. Electric, water, sewage hook up all easy access. Each site comes with fire ring and picnic table, all also in the shade.

Great spot!
This is a nice little place on the edge of town. A maverik next door that can be noisy-as any gas station can be- but even closer to it it's not too much.

Guide to Stockton
Glamping options near Stockton, California can be found along the Sacramento River Delta and surrounding lakes. The terrain consists primarily of wetlands, waterways, and low-lying islands at elevations between 0-50 feet above sea level. Summer temperatures regularly exceed 90°F from June through September, while winter brings mild days averaging 55-65°F and occasional fog along waterways.
What to do
Frisbee golf access: Lake Amador Resort provides multiple disc golf courses for visitors. According to one camper, "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."
Boat rental and watercraft: Ko-Ket Resort on the California Delta River offers paddle board rentals. "They have paddle boards you can rent and go out on the water in the morning. They have cute little cottages people can rent too. Very peaceful and fun atmosphere," notes one visitor.
Wildlife viewing opportunities: Campers at Brannan Island State Recreation Area regularly spot numerous wildlife species. One camper reports, "The wildlife was 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."
What campers like
Live entertainment: Ko-Ket Resort features weekend performances. "They had live music on the Saturday we were there. Highly recommend!" says a recent visitor who enjoyed the entertainment options beyond typical camping activities.
Water recreation: The Sugar Barge RV Resort & Marina offers direct water access with boat launch facilities. A camper notes, "Sugar barge is right on the delta. They have a boat trailer parking lot and a boat ramp. They rent kyacks and have a restaurant that looks right over the water."
Family-friendly waterparks: Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park Tower Park includes extensive water features. A recent visitor described, "Rv campsite and water park was clean and very nice. Water park is open 11 to 7 but Lazy river closes at 5 not sure why."
What you should know
Variable water levels: Lake levels fluctuate significantly based on season and drought conditions. A visitor to Lake Amador Resort explained, "The water levels drastically change due to it being a privately owned lake. The employees that work there are always really sweet and helpful."
Booking windows: Many sites require advance planning, particularly for holiday periods. At Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park, one guest advises, "We've been camping here for 10 years now. Always 4+ campsites for 4-5 days around July 4th weekend (reserve at least 6 months out)."
Temperature considerations: Summer heat can be intense in the Central Valley. A Brannan Island camper warns, "This place is noisy, hot and windy (seriously, it's like being in a super hot wind tunnel), and full of grasses like foxtails (that are quite dangerous for dogs, especially when they're dry!)"
Tips for camping with families
Supervised water activities: Acorn Campground provides designated swimming areas. "This is a large campground with sites generally well spaced apart, you don't feel right on top of your neighbors. Even without a boat or any lake toys we had a lot of fun hanging on the shore and letting the dogs swim, and even took a dip ourselves."
Entertainment options: Many campgrounds offer structured activities for children. At Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park, "We go with several families with kids 5-13 and they all have a blast. The price per night is very expensive but there are a lot of amenities. Nice playground, basketball court, volleyball, bouncy pillow, outdoor movies, pool, lazy river, water park, bumper boats, laser tag."
Child-friendly sites: Some locations specifically cater to families with young children. At Lake Amador Resort, a visitor notes, "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."
Tips from RVers
Site selection considerations: Brannan Island State Recreation Area offers various site types. "Nice park. Very quiet in late Nov. Bathrooms were closed. Couldn't Find any trails. Good for one night," reports one RVer about off-season camping.
Hookup availability: Many sites offer full RV services. At Sugar Barge RV Resort, "The office helped accommodate us for an extended stay during a busy time. 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."
Seasonal differences: Crowds vary dramatically by season. According to a visitor at Lake Amador, "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. Tackle Box Cafe is really good, weekends only."
