came here in early October as part of a touring/bikepacking trip. To be fair there was some construction, but saw almost nobody there on saturday night, kinda crazy...anyway host was friendly, showers were hot and free, working outlet in the bathroom to charge my power bank, and very cheap $5 hike-and-bike spot. Be aware though, the hike-and-bike spots are pretty much the least desirable spots: right next to the entrance, so probably a bit loud and bright when it's busier and more people are going in and out, and absolutely no view.

Love this spot for family camping that is easy to get to. Only ~45 mins away from Sacramento, right on the river, friendly staff. If you forgot anything, Winters is just 8 minutes back into town. Sites all have night picnic tables and fire rings with cooking grates. Unfortunately we had a red flag fire warning when we were there and couldn't take advantage. Bathrooms and showers (with hot water) were clean. Oh, and don't forget to look for the peacocks!!

Enjoyed a wonderful day paddling on the water. Weather was perfect to dip in the cold water. Pay to park for the day and set up a spot at the picnic area. Great for a family day trip to fish.

Went to visit the native plant garden, which was started and planted about a year ago. This are was burned in the huge LNU complex fire of 2020 (the one that led to the famous orange day in San Francisco.
