Beyond comfortable accommodations, the delta glamping experience includes numerous water-based activities unique to this region. Paddle boards are available for rent at Ko-Ket Resort, allowing guests to explore the calm morning waters directly from their glamping site. Families particularly appreciate the structured activities at Jellystone Park, where safari tent and yurt rentals provide eco-friendly alternatives to traditional accommodations.

Lots of greats amenities for families. The park is huge and didn't feel like it was too busy." Seasonal events including outdoor movies, Halloween activities, and Christmas celebrations enhance the glamping experience throughout the year, making these sites popular for repeat visits.

TravelerI wanted somewhere not too far to go and stay when my 5-6 year-old had 5 days off from school. This was perfect in so many ways.
Positives
- Amenities! I love how everything was themed, from the street names to the signs. Two nice playgrounds, ball courts, pool and hot tub. Watching your kids play red light/green light on the jumping pillow put a smile on every parent's face.
- Seasonal programming (weekends only). 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!"
- Clean, comfortable facilities. Lots of ways to stay. We car camped and found the hook ups really easy to use. Water, drain, 3 types of electricity, picnic table and firepit at every site. We used their bathrooms and showers and was impressed by how clean they were. Most of the time we had them completely to ourselves and they were even climate controlled.
- Restaurant. I cooked breakfast and lunch most days at the campsite, but for dinner we splashed out at the kid-friendly Waterfront Grille. Friendly staff, good food (lobster and prime rib, yum!), amazing views of the sunset.
Negatives
- Water park was closed. Call ahead to see if it is open when you want to go. I heard that it is never open because of some issue with permits or drought. If so, the promotional video is misleading and I almost deducted a star for this.
- Expensive. For camping, it is expensive, but think of it more as a theme park/resort, than true camping. We saved on the cabin and RV, and spent on the optional activities and the fancy meals.
Bottom line, I would totally go back and stay as long as I could. I hear it is super crowded in the summer, but it would be worth it if the water park is open.
GuideI like the place pros would be doing just water and electric hook up so your away from the croud,clean and quiet, great wifi, cons next to freeway, expensive,no firepit but have a communal fire pit,but if that's dosent bother you it would be a 5star
TravelerPerfect 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.
GuideGorgeous place to camp and tons of dragonflies,butterflies and bees. We did a lot of kayak fishing and relaxing by the lake. We were able to walk the kayaks down with no problem. The only 2 down falls are...... you can’t read the tiny sign that says your campsite number. I think it should be on both sides of the sign and bold. Also they’re sooooo close together. It’s great for families and they can buy a couple next to each other. Tho we were celebrating our 1 year anniversary and we would have wanted more space between campers. Other than that it was a lot of fun and perfect weather. They don’t have showers so heads up. We just got naked and did it cave man style in the middle of the night. It was warm enough and made it that much more special. They do have water spouts to wash your dishes and bathrooms walking distance. A picnic table, bbq and fire pit at every location. Make sure you get water shoes because the lake does have sharp rocks and the local CVS has them. It was really nice and convenient and worth the money. It did get really hot , so my fiancé and I went to the local ice cream parlor. It was about 5-7 minutes away from the site. It’s a cute little mom and pop ice cream shop and the customer service was amazing. We went their Friday afternoon when it was over 90 degrees and it was the best ice cream. It’s called Country girls ice cream shop. Look for the pink picnic table and red corner sign. I recommend this place and also right near buy is a little gas station to get gas, bait, firewood and etc. Well hope this helps future campers and have fun.
GuideThe lake has receded quite a but that one of the docks is about 100 yards from the actual lake now (California drought). The campsite was well maintained. Each camping section seams to have it's own restroom within 2 minutes walking distance. The wildlife was " people friendly" to say the least. I had a family of deer pretty much monitoring my whole trip plus they couldn't seam to wait until I went to bed to come check out my camping gear 😊
TravelerThere was no formal check-in system to the campground, and finding the location of campgrounds 120-130+ was confusing because of the signage. Otherwise, a very serene lake and good site.
Has a fire pit and a small cooking stand, a pole with a hook on it for tents and tarps, and the bathrooms were pretty decent, with showers. Maintenance cleans the bathrooms and restocks them every morning.
ScoutStayed 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.
ScoutWe have everything we need here; FHU, laundry, clean showers and bathrooms, great dog park, friendly staff. They pick up trash. Sites are pull- through, gravel and fairly level. Sites are close, but it wasn’t too crowded while we were here.
The Sacramento River Delta creates a unique waterfront camping environment in Walnut Grove, California, with interconnected waterways spanning over 1,000 miles. The area maintains relatively mild temperatures compared to inland locations, with summer highs averaging in the 90s and winter lows rarely dropping below 40°F. Water levels fluctuate seasonally, affecting campsite availability and boat launch conditions.
Water recreation access points: Brannan Island State Recreation Area offers designated boat launches for exploring the delta waterways. According to Mike C., the recreation area serves as a "Gateway to the Delta. Lots of fishing and boating activities. Campsites are spaced out. Easy access to the water."
Seasonal outdoor activities: Fall and winter camping provides a different experience with fewer crowds. At Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park Tower Park, Katie B. notes they "go for Halloween and there is trick or treating through the whole place, a haunted house and a decor and costume contest."
Biking opportunities: Several campgrounds connect to regional bike trails. At SacWest RV Park & Campground, one camper mentions, "Camp site is clean. You can order food and they will deliver. Wonderful ada bathroom/showers with a fold down bench."
Waterfront site access: Many campers value direct water access from their sites. At Sugar Barge RV Resort & Marina, Larry W. describes the tent area as "a clearing, fully backed up to the levee, with some shade and a water spigot. Appears to be only 4 'sites,' which are defined by picnic tables, GENEROUSLY spaced, no fire rings."
Kid-friendly amenities: Family campers appreciate structured activities for children. One camper at Jellystone Park notes: "This was a nice campground that focuses around child/family activities. There is always something for kids to do. Campsites are nice. Restrooms are clean."
Off-season tranquility: Visiting during weekdays or non-peak seasons provides a quieter experience. At Brannan Island, Rita C. explains: "Since easy access it is busy, sometimes more noise in evenings to my liking. It's a great option for beginner campers as well as veterans."
Site spacing and privacy: Sites at many delta campgrounds offer limited privacy. At Jellystone Park, Daniel M. reports: "You can easily see into your neighbors site. There was a trail but it was not like the other campgrounds, more of a behind the scenes of the campground and other sites."
Weather considerations: The delta region experiences significant wind, particularly in spring and early summer. At Brannan Island State Recreation Area, one camper warns it's "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!)"
Reservation requirements: Most glamping sites near Walnut Grove require advance booking, particularly during summer weekends. At SacWest, Leah L. advises: "If we come back will choose site 10 of 12. River was dry in july."
Water safety precautions: Keep life vests for children when camping near waterfront sites. At Ko-Ket Resort, one visitor notes: "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."
Activity planning: Many campgrounds offer structured kids' activities, but schedules vary. At Jellystone Park, Jill P. shares: "There is the activities in club house, mini golf, lasher tag, playground, bounce pillow, basketball, volleyball, dodge ball, hayride, parade wit's Yogi which the kids all follow him on their bikes."
Shade considerations: Delta camping often means limited natural shade. At Lake Camanche, one visitor recommends: "Great for just floating around, having a beer or 3... 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."
Level site selection: Many delta campgrounds have varying site levelness. At Skyline Wilderness Park, Rich J. notes: "RV Campsites are nothing fancy and close together. But the park itself is nice...hiking trails, views, nature, and close to Napa."
Hookup variations: RV sites offer different hookup configurations depending on location within each park. At Delta Shores Resort, Christine M. cautions: "My only complaint, the water spigot is really close to the ground and really close to the sewer drain. Scrub with bleach before booking up your water and you'll be fine."
Gate closure times: Several campgrounds have strict entry gate closure times. At Skyline Wilderness Park, Moriah M. advises: "I definitely recommend getting there well before the gates close because there were issues getting a hold of the camp host."
