There were millions of goatheads. Lots of cliffs. On the trail that's On the opposite side of the boat dock. The water was beautiful, great place to swim. In the river normally you don't want to swim in the river.

Nice place to spend some time outdoors. The river is cold and beautiful. The oak trees are huge and impressive.

The campground is nice and spacious between sites. It was hot when we stayed in May and with no electricity, it was kind of a sweaty night, but in the morning it was nice. Access to the river is a bit of a hike through the trees and tall grass, to the neighboring park. There may be access at different times of the year but when we were there, the river was up to the banks.

Good for one or two night camping, campground is decent and not very crowded. The host and the rangers were very good. There's a small beach on Sacramento river where you can swim, kayak, otherwise there's not much to do. No proper hiking trails. Showers facility available.
