My son Ethan enjoying a break on the dock!

I took some family/friends out to Bullfrog today for kayak fishing and i must say we were pleasntly surprised. Awesome location on the Ca Delta along with great folks to accommodate us. Met Dave (owner), Carl (operator), and Bear (dock dog) today and they are a trio of coolness. Super friendly and personable. We will be back soon!

Great gas station. Home of the infamous Bear. The pineapple sorbet they sell is refreshing.

Cool Drawbridge. Not the up and down kind tho:(

This place is full here although it's been only 25 years since I started fishing this area. So many great places to fish in the California delta. I got here a bit early, I mean 4:30 AM is late for some fishermen's. Really neat lil place in the middle of the delta, quite a drive to get here but the thought of no hustle and bustle of the urban environment. Only the tranquility of birds singing, crickets chirping and waves crashing as boaters go by. Anyways if this place is open please go in and buy a pop or fishing tackle and enjoy a day out here.

I was stranded on a boat with 4 other girls on the Delta after 9 p.m. so it was dark, cold and we were completely lost, somehow we managed to paddle our way up sh $! Creek, to Bullfrog Marina gas station and Dave Ressa reopened the pumps for us and invited us in for dinner music cocktails and loaned us some blankets, talk about above and beyond service. I'm so lucky to have run across people who still believe in doing random acts of kindness for strangers, thanks again Dave friends for life!

Colton and a bear 4years later!!!!

This is Colton and Bear... almost 4 years later. Karl and bear have been one of best parts of visiting bullfrog marina. Thank goodness for Karl and his gas and bear and his hugs. Every time we come to visit, bear greets Colton and it's like the good ol days! If it is as t for th friend faces at bullfrog and bear, our gas and sour patch kids wouldn't be the same!!!

Colton and his new buddy, Bear!

Carl is very friendly , and knows the waterways like the back of his hand. They sell a locally made pepperoni stick that is very tasty.

I had such a great experience at Lake Camanche, and I wanted to give a special shout-out to Aryan…read moreand Madi! I had to stop by the front gate twice during my trip, and both times they were incredibly friendly, patient, and helpful. They answered all of my questions, made the check-in process easy, and genuinely made me feel welcome. Aryan especially went above and beyond. Great customer service can be hard to find these days, and he deserves to be recognized for how kind, professional, and helpful he was. Madi was just as wonderful--both of them really set the tone for a great camping trip. Thank you both for making my visit such a positive experience. Employees like Aryan and Madi are a huge asset to Lake Camanche, and I hope they get the recognition they deserve. I'll definitely be back!

My family has been camping at Lake Camanche every year for the past 12 years. What started with…read morebabies, including one who was only 3 months old, has become a cherished family tradition. We typically camp with 40-55 family members, reserving multiple campsites and group sites to accommodate everyone. Many of our children have literally grown up camping here, and this annual trip has always been something our entire family looks forward to. This year, our group included nearly 60 people of all ages. We reserved multiple campsites and a group site, stayed within the occupancy limits, and paid for additional vehicle parking. We expected another fun weekend together, but instead it became one of the worst camping experiences we've ever had. On the first morning, we made a mistake. We woke up too early while preparing breakfast, and our music was too loud. A ranger responded to a complaint, and we immediately apologized, accepted responsibility, and made sure it would not happen again. Unfortunately, after that interaction, it felt like we were under constant scrutiny. Rangers repeatedly drove past our campsites, slowed down to watch us, and frequently stopped to tell us we were too loud even during daytime hours when quiet hours were not in effect. We were not throwing a wild party, we were simply spending time together as a large family. We lowered the music whenever asked, did our best to keep conversations down, and complied with every request. At no point were we told what specific daytime noise standard we were supposedly violating. The second night, we observed quiet hours after 10:00 p.m. and the next morning we remained quiet until after 8:00 a.m. Despite following the rules, the repeated drive-bys and warnings continued. Had the ranger simply asked us one final time to lower the noise, we would have gladly complied as we had throughout the weekend. Around 7:00 p.m. on our final evening, one family member was setting up a camera for our annual family photo. We had not yet gathered as a group. As a ranger drove by, the camera happened to be pointed in his direction while the angle was being adjusted. He stopped, accused us of recording him, claimed we were still too loud, and informed us that we were being evicted because we had already received two warnings. The sheriff was called, and we were given only 1 1/2 hours to gather nearly 60 people, pack multiple campsites, and leave or face arrest. The way this was handled was heartbreaking. We hadn't even eaten dinner. Our children overheard repeated statements about being arrested, became frightened, and several were crying. Instead of remembering our final night together, they now remember being rushed out under the threat of arrest. What hurts most is what they interrupted. The children and young adults had planned a surprise dinner for all the parents, aunts, and uncles. After years of watching the adults cook, they were finally old enough to take over the kitchen themselves. It was supposed to be a milestone after 12 years of family camping. Instead, it became a memory of fear and heartbreak. Beyond our experience with the rangers, we also noticed that the campground itself has declined. The restrooms were dirty even after staff had supposedly cleaned them. Two sinks remained clogged, toilet paper was left on the floor, and the restroom floors were still filthy. While cleaning the restroom, a staff member loudly yelled at several of the women in our group instead of speaking respectfully, making an already unpleasant experience even worse. We understand that campground rules exist for everyone, and we accept responsibility for our mistake on the first morning. However, there is a difference between enforcing the rules and making guests feel targeted throughout their stay. If large groups are expected to remain nearly silent during the day, then perhaps the group campsites should be located farther away from individual campsites. After 12 wonderful years of making memories here, it is heartbreaking that our family's tradition ended this way. We will not be returning. Thank you, Lake Camanche and EBMUD, for turning what should have been another joyful family reunion into an experience our children will never forget... for all the wrong reasons.
