Turtle Beach RV Resort in Manteca, CA

Great park. Pretty busy in early March already so get your reservations in as early as possible. Great camp hosts and personnel. The 2 lane road coming in and out is pretty tight so beware.

This was our first opportunity to stay at this absolutely stunning park. Lyra and her staff are amazing. Will definitely be back.

We came to Turtle Beach for a short 21 day stay while we had doctor visits. I was informed I needed cataract surgery before I could drive anymore. We used up our 21 days and didn't know what to do for the next 2 to 6(?) months because we are full timers. I though we would have to do an annual space. Lyra and Pat suggested we stay month to month which I didn't know we could do. Durning our 4 month stay we had a most wonderful Christmas party with a lot of the other campers at Turtle Beach. Pat and Lyra were there during our crisis and were a GREAT HELP. Mike who also works there helped with setting up the Christmas party and cooking the turkey. He keeps the park in top condition, we'll groomed and clean.
We want to Thank the crew here at Turtle Beach for being there, when we need them.

Great facilities, clean restrooms & hot showers, plenty of available spaces, and fairly close to major grocery stores & fast food outlets. We have a monthly plan for all Thousand Trail sites and stayed at this one for 3 nights and will definitely come back again.

Staff is very accommodating we only had water and electricity. but they were able to get us full hookups after just a couple of days.

We were asked to move after being fully set up for hours because staff gave us the wrong site. The staff member then tried gaslighting my husband into thinking she told him the correct site, when in fact she had directed him to the wrong one and even colored it in on the map they provided. Furthermore, they didn’t apologize nor take accountability for their mistake and simply offered a fake apology for us having to move.

The campground itself was okay, but the service was unprofessional and disappointing. Bathrooms reminded me of the Joint Andrews AF Base Famcamp — which, if you know, you know.

Overall, the experience left a sour taste, despite our many positive stays at other Thousand Trails locations across the country.

We had a really great stay at Turtle Beach.   The staff is amazing.  Deb, Lyra, Pam & Mike will help you in anyway they can to make your stay comfortable.
The property is a hidden treasure.  We will return again on another one of our adventures.

Great location on the Sacramento River.  Had a great stay at this Thousand Trails Resort. The weeds were a little overgrown on the beach areas, but other than that, it was great. Definitely bring a pop-up because there is no shade. They have various sites for RV and tent camping. Amenities include restrooms and showers, parking area for watercraft, free wi-fi, and a lodge. No laundry facilities. I will be staying here again.

This is an RV and camping area alongside a river. Folks come to tent camp, fish in the river, and enjoy the calming sounds of running river water. Our stay was initially disappointing due to the unavailability of a space with any RV hook-ups. However, we were able to park next to the river and let the dogs romp in the water. The staff went out of their way to accommodate our needs to the absolute best of their abilities. We did cut our planned 2-day stay short to 1-day but it was an enjoyable night's stay.

Really nice and beautiful camping side by the water. It’s day and night. You can also rent it for weeks and months. But if you have kids, there’s no playground or pan area for the kids.

Had a great time at Turtle Beach RV Resort. Stayed for five days. Staff was exceptionally friendly and helpful. Site are large and level. Was really nice to have green grass and not dirt. Downside, not enough water due to California drought conditions. Also if there were more available full hook-ups for members of Thousand Trails and not so many sites taken by Annual users. Only had one night when one group decided to make noise until 2:00 in the morning. Overall experience was positive, will most likely go back again.

Nice little campground.  Lots if space between sites so you are not sitting right on your neighbor.  5 MPH is strictly enforced and if they catch you speeding you will be made to park up by the gate and walk to your site.  Only seen 1 staff member and she was friendly.    Only reason I didn't give them a 5 star was because there is no pool or play place for the kids
