Beautiful shady campground a little off the beaten path and worth it. No hookups but we used a spigot to fill trailer water tank. Some sites riverside, all with beach / swimming access. Most sites won't accommodate trailers - parking "pads" too short. Coin ($.25) operated hot showers. $1.50 for 4 1/2 minutes did the trick for me. Very reasonable state park rates. Great overnight stay in transit from SoCal to Washington. Will stay here again.

Lovely views of the Stanislaus river which wends it's way thru the park. Lots of interesting nature, including elderberries and rose hips. This flat walk is marred only by the aggressive mosquito population.

Camp 🏕️ grounds & day use areas are fantastic 🤩 - wish there was more overflow parking 🅿️ for both the campground and day use areas; car fees are $10 dollars. Tent camping sites are 30 and include one vehicle 🛻. $10 for extra vehicle, two spaces. The river is wonderful! 😅 You may see cows 🐄 , chickens 🐓, turtles 🐢, cranes 🦢, etc… along side the waterfront while you float.

Such an amazing campground. Beautiful spacious spots with lots of trees. When kids are out of school its really busy. They have regular bathrooms with water. No water at the spots but there are spickets near. The beach isn't huge but its nice. They kept it well maintained as well. Don't come here to be loud and party. Game warden and sherif patrol often. There are showers also but cost a little bring quarters. Nice picnic tables and fire pits. Enjoy

This state park, which features a lovely flowing river and offers options for camping and day picnics, including a group picnic campground (tent only) where RVs are also permitted, although without electric hookups at the campsites. We have enjoyed camping at this park for the past two consecutive years. Overall, we find it to be a good park. However, during our recent visit, we did have a few concerns regarding the upkeep of the campsites. This time, we experienced a significant presence of red ants and spiders at our campsite, and there was also a noticeable amount of windblown, cotton-like material throughout the area. Additionally, we found that the fire rings were positioned very close to the wooden benches at the campsites, making them somewhat impractical to use. The campsites themselves also felt rather small. Best part is its availability to reserve 😊

Lots of little spots to bbq. The water was a little hard to get to, but same is said with going to some beaches. Overall it’s a really fun place to go enjoy nature, water and have a bbq.

Great for new hikers, flat with many opportunities to lengthen or shorten your loop. Well maintained and clean..

We visited to get outside before sunset. We visited during the dry season, so the smell is a little strong. Overall, the trail wasn’t crowded and it was a soothing walk

My family did a day visit. We found a great spot with trees 🌳 for shade and picnic tables and close to the bathrooms. We bbq and played football and board games. We did not bring our dog there due to a lot of cats that run free. We had 5 that just waited on the side for scraps, but we didn't feed them. One thing I would recommend is taking a mosquito repellent. There are a lot of mosquitoes there🦟. The restrooms are clean. Parking was no problem. Just get their early. And all day pass $10 a car, but Seniors $9 and military I believe are free.

Great spot for camping and floating on the river! Bathrooms and campsites were well maintained for the most part. I don’t think they sell firewood here but fires were allowed in the pit at the site. We were there on a weekend and it’s a party spot for sure - expect music and noise well into the night. And if not that, it’s the sounds coyotes and feral cats all night.
