Pipi Campground
Wooded, set along a small river with a boardwalk along the entire length
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.

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.

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.

Ghost Mountain RV Campground
Ghost mountain is a perfect family place
Our family loved it here. Great staff. The poo was clean and heated. They had volleyball, karaoke, clean bathrooms and open showers.
There is even a cute pond to fish out of.
Theirs an old town that has two stores open. One is ice cream and the other is breakfast and lunch. Everything is affordable.

Very misleading Website
Website says Luxurious sites, spacious sites. Our site was extremely narrow, sat on a hillside, unlevel, difficult to hook/unhook a 5th wheel because of the downhill. We booked a site for a 30 foot 5th wheel. After my negative review, they posted that LARGE trailers and 5th wheels might have issues??? 30 foot is not large. Our lawn chairs were literally 6 feet from our neighbors sewer hook up and our picnic table sat at about a 30 degree slope. They also said the staff tried to resolve my issues, which never happened. They have a lot of amenities, laundry, pool, etc. But the sites we saw were pretty much like ours. Make your own decisions, form your own opinions, but we'll never go back, nor will we recommend it to anyone.

Peninsula Campground — Folsom Lake State Recreation Area
Peninsula Campground
I wanted to find a spot somewhat close by and came across this one. I think it was because I went on a weekday but upon entering there’s no one at the front so there is no check in so you just go straight to your camp site. I wasn’t expecting there to be a distance from the campsite to your parking space but if you’re looking for a spot for van/SUV camping it’s a little difficult to find a spot. Some spots are better than others of course! Camp host was really friendly as well! Spotted some turkey, deer, and quail!
Guide to Wallace
Lake Camanche South Shore spans across the hills near Wallace, California at an elevation of approximately 200 feet. The area experiences hot, dry summers with temperatures often exceeding 90°F, while winters remain mild with occasional rainfall. The camping options around Wallace range from basic tent sites to luxury accommodations with varying access to lake activities and amenities.
What to do
Water recreation: Paddle sports and fishing at Lake Camanche provide family-friendly activities throughout most of the year. "We camped twice at this campground on the South Shore. The lake has a North Shore Campground as well. We were the only ones camping on Christmas Weekend and we had a few neighbors when we went again in mid January... We liked the site because we can launch our kayaks from our campground down to the lake. Fishing is awesome!" according to Ed E.
Wildlife viewing: Observe local fauna around Lake Tulloch RV Campground. Visitors regularly encounter native wildlife throughout the camping areas. One camper noted, "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."
Disc golf: Play multiple courses near glamping sites. Lake Amador Resort provides extensive disc golf facilities for all skill levels. A visitor shared, "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."
What campers like
Varied water features: More than just the lake. Lake Amador Resort offers additional water recreation options beyond the main lake. "The man made pond is nice for the kids. It has a slide they can use," reports Mike L., highlighting alternatives for families with small children seeking controlled swimming environments.
Offseason tranquility: Visit during non-peak times for a quieter experience. Camping outside summer months provides a completely different atmosphere. According to The School for Y., "We stayed at the lake for one night, mid-week, off season. We were only one of a few handful of RVs in the RV section of the campground. I could imagine it being a loud party-scene in the summer. But in the early spring, it was full of bird songs and a gorgeous sunset."
Spacious sites: Room to spread out at select campgrounds. "Nice spacious spots. No power or water hookups. Water spigots close by. Bathrooms with flush toilets and a single spacious shower," noted Martha H. about Acorn Campground, emphasizing the practical layout that allows for comfortable camping setups.
What you should know
Water level fluctuations: Lake conditions vary seasonally. The reservoirs around Wallace experience significant water level changes throughout the year. One camper at New Hogan Lake observed, "We did a lot of kayak fishing and relaxing by the lake. We were able to walk the kayaks down with no problem... The lake does have sharp rocks and the local CVS has [water shoes]."
Temperature extremes: Summer heat requires planning. Daytime temperatures frequently reach triple digits during summer months. A visitor at Tuttletown Recreation Area shared, "We camped out for 2 nights in spot 96 in the height of summer and just before all the fires started. It was something like 107 when we were setting up the tent and most of the day time but on the lake itself, the temperature was perfect."
Limited shade: Many sites lack natural coverage. Several campgrounds feature exposed sites with minimal tree cover. "Some sites have plenty of shade, some none, which would be killer in the heat! Great, QUIET time. When the lake is down (like now) it's a bit of a haul to the water — cart/wagon recommended, as well as a shade pop-up AT water's edge," advised Larry W. about his stay at Lake Camanche.
Tips for camping with families
Kid-friendly amenities: Look for dedicated play areas when booking glamping close to Wallace, California. Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park focuses specifically on family experiences with extensive recreational options. One visitor described, "Great family fun. Lots of greats amenities for families. Lots of people however the park is huge and didn't feel like it was too busy... Very roomy and not as crowded as the sites by the water park area."
Water safety: Bring appropriate gear for lake activities with children. Beaches may have hidden hazards that require protection. A Lake Tulloch camper mentioned, "The lake is gorgeous and at night there were several deer walking thru the site. The bathrooms weren't so awesome but the campground did offer showers by the store and those were very awesome! This is hot weather territory but you can take a quick swim to cool off."
Seasonal programming: Check activity schedules before booking. Many campgrounds offer organized events during specific times. "For October, we did an outdoor movie, magic pumpkins, costume contest, trick or treating, hay ride, and haunted house. My daughter loved everything except the haunted house, which she said was 'too scary!'" shared a visitor about their experience at Jellystone Park.
Tips from RVers
Site selection: Research RV pad conditions before reserving. Monument RV Park provides dedicated RV facilities with varying amenities. "This was our first time here. It was quiet and the sites were clean. There is no shower and only a couple outhouses so it's definitely only if you want to use your camper/rv bathroom. The hookups worked good but the sewer hookup is elevated so you will probably want sewer hose supports to lift your hose," advised Courtney C.
Utility connections: Check hookup specifications when planning glamping stays near Wallace in RVs. Electrical service varies between campgrounds and sites. A visitor at Lake Tulloch noted, "Clean, fairly spacious RV sites" but warned about "Poor" internet connectivity, an important consideration for those needing to stay connected.
Site spacing: Consider proximity to neighbors when selecting locations. Some RV areas provide more separation than others. "Sites are packed in tight. Def geared for tent camping although I was lucky enough to be here when it was dead empty and picked a good site for my 27' toy hauler. Fire pits and picnic tables at every site," explained Hunter P. about Tuttletown Recreation Area.
