Detailed Reviews
Had a great trip with my best friend. We thrift shopped in jackson and valley springs and stayed in North Shore in the ADA cabin due to my friend being handicapped. Pam, the house keeping worker, was very.kind and courteous. She came by daily to see if we needed new toiletries and showed us where the light on the stove was. Such a great help to us. All of u at lake camanche must be proud to have such a cheerful amazing person on your team. Beautiful day gorgeous view. Perfect stay. I give the lake 5 and Pam 10! Keep up the good work family camanche!

Wanted to share with you the marvelous family get together we had at Lake Camanche-South Shore. In particular, we wanted to share with you the great service that Pam provided our group. She attended to all our inquires and helped us with all our questions. In one of the cottages, the air conditioner was not functioning during this heat wave so she provided the swamp coolers to help lower the temperature. There were instances in each of the cottages that needed clarification, i.e. how to turn on the stove hood fan and light in the ADA Cottage. Also, helping us with the door locks and door knobs that did not function. There are some items that need the attention of the maintenance staff. In Cottage 5, the light on the stove for the oven remains on even though the oven is not in use; and the living room blind that faces the parking area is unable to close completely. Management may wish to include a box of facial tissue in the units.

It was $25 per car but you can drive right up to the shoreline. No lugging things to and from the cars. Pop up tents are permitted. Bring your table and chairs. There are some picnic tables and grills but some are under water this time of year. Easy walk into water. No shifting sand or drop offs. Toddlers can play in the shallow area. Lots of geese but not aggressive. Port-a-pots well cared for and nearby. Water was just right. Several different areas to visit. There were some party boars out floating. Bring your cooler, water, sunscreen, hat, bathing suit and towel fir a fun day.

Worst customer service ever, people had been turned away claiming the camp sites are full while they were not, due to lazy Rangers on site that are not updating the employees at the entrance of the available sites that got vacant. And the employees at the entrance are not helpful at all because they were not allowed to issue permits or let any car in not even to drop off people and there stuff. we had to leave one of our cars parked on the road outside the lake perimeter while there was plenty of space available. If it was not for one of the employees who let us use one car that already had a permit to re-enter without recharging us again, to pick up the people and there stuff who came in the car that was left on the road. Otherwise they were saying to walk with the stuff to lake site which was a very far walking distance. I gave it one star due to the help of that employee other wise it would be a zero star.

$18 entrance fee for day use I thought was very expensive especially considering we could only stay 4 hours because of the heat. Dry and lots of bugs, limited power for charging phones etc. Bathrooms needed maintenance. Saw lots of staff driving around but no one stopped to clean bathrooms. Weather was very hot and minimal shade. Dry, weeds everywhere.

We had a blast coming out to stay at the campsites this year. It was just beautiful. Our family all came down to stay for the weekend, take the new boat out, and do some swimming and fishing. When we ran into some issues with the engine, one of the lake staff, Matt, towed us to the beach and managed to get it running again then pointed out some areas where the fish were biting. My husband caught an 8lb rainbow trout! We're already making plans to come back and stay again soon.

Stayed at Monument RV park in my motorhome. The RV pad was large and electric close by. Water and sewer were way at the back of the RV pad. There were low hanging branches so I did not use sewer at site. I used the RV dump site. The ground surrounding the RV pad was full of burrs. Be careful and frequently check your dog for burrs. The dog parks were very nice, there were burrs but less than at the RV park. It was quite during the week but extremely crowded and NOISY after 10 pm the weekend.

When we were there, it's a beautiful place. But when the lights went out, the cockroaches. Come running way too much. You need to do something with this. We probably won't come back scared.To bring the cockroaches to the house.You need to get this under control because it's way too much

It is a beautiful place to just get away from the hustle of the Bay Area.
We love Lake Camanche. We only go during the week as the weekend crowd is too obnoxious. And beware of the gnats… they are in full abundance.
Only a few issues that are frustrating…
1. We have been there 3 times (2-June and 1-July) and TWICE have we lost all power for several hours during the day.
2. Fishing in the trout pond, I, nor has anyone else I’ve seen EVER caught a fish.
We will be back to relax and remember the friendships we have made there.

No, a reservation is required. Our Primitive campground is not divided up with Ballards so once a reservation is made a guest is on a first come first set up basis.
