Woodward Reservoir RV Camping | Oakdale, CA

Well, there is two dead geese in the parking lot right by the boat ramp. Also, we got there super early. No one was there but around 9:30 10 o’clock a couple people started showing up. It was not bad at all. We saw fish jumping, but not a single nibble not a bite nothing.

Great place for family camping, specially in the unincorporated area or undeveloped.No limit, as far as how many people you can have.How many cars it's first come first serve Great place

Our family had a fantastic time here at this section of the Woodward Resivior we enjoyed all the cute little ducks what I liked was that our campsite was close to the water that was very enjoyable

Pretty nice lake, nice áreas for camping fishing and they also have a "beach like" area for the kids. Currently still closed for swimming till mid April.

I live 10 minutes away from the reservoir. I go at least twice a week. It is so beautiful and peaceful this time of year.

We went on Sunday, Labor Day weekend after 5 pm to spend a couple of hours with family.  We came in three vehicles, a total of 8 people and paid ridiculous admission fees of $75.  The park is littered with trash and garbage.  Water sprinklers went off on us causing everyone sitting in that area to pack up and leave.

Very nice staff. Clean restrooms, we were near a small store they have onsite. This reservoir does not allow kayaks. Water was refreshing and good atmosphere.

Local reservoir with lots of full hook-up sites as well as tent camping.   For the price it's a good option if you want to get away.

I am a disabled resident, when I came in let the guy know about it, at the time of pay. His name on the receipt is CBlack. He was rude with his replies, in his words, "Well, it's $20." I told him if he can take $18, since we always pay $15. And to which he responded,  "Well, it's $20, prices went up a year ago, you can pay with a card."
I called today on my way out and I was told to let them know at the booth on my way out and they were going to reimburse me the $5. A guy was about to give me a reimbursement form and the same guy that charged me the day before was there and told him not to give it to me that I can go to the website if I want to, which to which the other guy did listen to him.
The way he spoke seemed a bunch of lack of customer service or discrimination. To better picture him would be, Caucasian, very long blond hair with a northern country voice.

I love this place! Amazing for a weekend or a long weekend. People are friendly, the water is clean and it’s warmer then San Francisco!!!! I always go with friends and enjoy the atmosphere of this place!!!!

Had a great vacation. Fun to swim the horses & spend time with family & friends

My dog love this place and I did too.
Is good to know the name of this time we're planning to go back

Enjoyed Memorial Day but I won't come back next year. Had a neighbor who loved their Mexican music. We were tolerant but the family was bilingual. We had a couple friendly but heated loud music wars. My son in law let them think they won until he after an hour blasted so loud they had to turn off their music. We prefer English lyrics. Fun because it's been awhile since I had been around loud happy folks. I am a quieter happy person. Anyhow if you enjoy"peace" better choose a different weekend experience. If ALL types of loud music is your thing you will enjoy this place over a holiday weekend. Boating got a little crazier because that's way more dangerous. When jet skis overrun and fly past your tow of kids on a tube it can be dangerous for everyone. Happy to announce there were no accidents with our parties. But it did get heated on the water. Our solution was park the boats cause it's not worth getting a child or someone hurt over speeding and cutting on the water. Next year a quieter spot for sure.

Used the RV campground here. Beautiful park. Sites fairly level, full hookups and plenty of room between sites. Waterfront site we had was so nice, we could walk right into the water. Dog friendly. Great place at a great price. Only complaint was loud party campers playing music until 1 am. Would’ve preferred to be able to sleep with my windows open to enjoy the peace of nature.

Huge park, with LOTS of shallow sandy beaches for kids..... Places for fishing quietly away from everyone.
Well equipped re bathrooms, faucets, picnic tables and fire rings.
Easy to find some shade even though you're not in forest.
Well kept and we'll managed....miles of trails to ride bikes.
Great for kayaks and motorized boats. We were very impressed

I've been going to Woodward Reservoir almost every summer since I was a kid, and it holds so much more excitement to me now as an adult. Obviously for kids there's so much to do, and what kid doesn't love the water activities like fishing and water skiing? Even now, I let my nieces and nephews go crazy for those, and they have a blast each time. Now that I'm a little older, I thoroughly enjoy the campsites and the amenities at each. I've been to one at T-Island and one at Hackberry Flat and both have had picnic and barbecue areas, and even fish cleaning stations. The facilities are clean and pretty modern and I've never had an issue with anything there. I plan on exploring more sites soon; hopefully heading to Charlie's Point next! - Review provided by RV Park Recommendations & Reviews Facebook Group
