Camp host didn't interact with us, just did his job and verified that we paid for our campsite. The campsite was very nice and clean, we were at a perfect distance to walk with our kayaks to the lake. The only bad thing were the bathrooms...they are SMELLY. There's definitely better bathrooms out there but these will do lol. Definitely coming back!!

The camp host double booked a spot possibly. A spot next to us had opened after a young gentleman had been sitting on the back of his jet skis at the spot next to us at 4pm. just a car and jet skis nothing else. No tent no food. No nothing!!. once they left, we went to the kiosk and paid for the site next to us nooooooooo problem! campsite was not reserved there was no ticket on the post saying it was reserved and no personal items left from the previous guests(kid and jet skis)...this was also about 4:00 in the afternoon where check out is much earlier. About 10min later a lady came and started argueeing with my husband that they had reserved the site.... but we had paid for the site and they had no ticket to prove it or reservation confirmation. If the guest did have a reservation the host never posted on the post which is not our fault the ticket should have been posted on the post before the new guests arrived. Mind you its 4pm way past check out time!! Arguement insued with this lady anf she insists and WE pay her 36 dollars for the camps mistake! The host never offered to refund. We had a ticket and sh3 had no proof of anything!!!! We handed $36 to a lady who may not have had a reservation and scammed us! could have been the camp host friends since the camp host didn't seem to want to help!

I do all my cooking that way (www.cookingwithcampfire.com) and planned all our meals that way. Thankfully my family rented a RV otherwise we would have starved. The site was #14. They should REALLY call that out on the website! Otherwise a great trip. One note, sadly the drought has really dried up the lake. You have to walk about a half mile in to get to it and the beach is not where it was a year ago. We even could see where the water receded in one day. So sad!

Hands-down, the best campsite is number 20, which we were lucky enough to secure ahead of time fantastic views with access to the water suitable for paddle boarding and swimming, although the water is quite chilly even in summer. this campsite is dog friendly. there's a beautiful trail that goes all the way around the reservoir. I also saw many people with their fishing poles, and a few other Neighbor campers said there's some really good fishing spots in the area. A great experience and being there with family made it even better.

Also if you are at lot 20/21 you are RIGHT by the entry for off roading people who are on the way to do the rubicon trail. On our camping experience here they would make loud noise starting at 11pm- 1 am so it was not quiet by any means and felt like the cars were right next to the tent. Despite that the camp itself is nice, bathrooms are well maintained, shade comes in the evening, and off the beaten path from Tahoe

The vault style restrooms were clean, well stocked, odor free. The overall campground could of used a few more trees here and there as it was a little difficult to find shade. Only a few sites provided ample shade. Most sites offer RV parking, tent camping is available, but difficult if placing for two tents. Overall I would be back and would recommend.

Icehouse Reservoir is one of my all time favorite local lakes. It's a 700 acre Alpine lake in the…read moreEldorado National Forest located 20 miles east of Placerville off Highway 50. Elevation is about 5400 feet. Gorgeous lake! Spectacular views. Big ole majestic Ponderosa pine trees. The lake area has nearby camp sites including RV sites (by reservations), hiking trails including a mild 3 mile loop around the lake, day use picnic areas (first come basis), boat launch, and restrooms around the lake. Day use parking fees are enforced. $10 which is payable via an app. No more cash payments accepted. If you have no internet connection, they allow a one-day leeway. Also it is no longer free to park on the side of the road, if you do, you can get ticketed and towed. Yikes. The lake shoreline is sandy and rocky. Easy enough to access and wade into the waters. The water is beautiful, not Lake Tahoe beautiful but nice nevertheless. Fishing is allowed with a permit. The picnic areas have tables and a bbq pit and are near or near enough within quick walk to the shoreline.

Located off highway 80, about an hour and half from Sacramento, Icehouse Resevoir was so serene and beautiful. It cost $8 to park a car at the boat launch parking lot. There were a variety of watercraft there but it was NOT overwhelming (like it is at Folsom Lake). The boats and jet skis were small and everyone was very courteous out on the water. There were other kayakers, sail boats, and paddle boats. Lots of families and dogs swimming (there are campsites on the reservoir). The water was cool but not as cold as I anticipated. There are lots of spots to pull up on shore and jump in the water or enjoy a picnic. Just remember: what you bring in, bring out. There are trash and recyclable bins located in the parking lot near the boat ramp. An absolutely beautiful afternoon out on the water, surrounded by the towering trees and clear blue sky.

What a hidden gem! Would come again!…read more We camped for 3 nights and loved this camp site. Clean, spacious, close access to walking trails, and lake. There are hot showers (coin operated), clean bathrooms, tent and RV sites, water faucets. Showers are coin operated, bring quarters! $0.50 for 4 minutes, and $0.25 per 2 minutes thereafter. We stayed at 1 of the 2 glamping sites, with a 2 bed/ 4 person tent already set up. All sites have a max capacity of 8 ppl, or 2 cars. Cooking- fire pit. But check the website as some days are "no fire", you can bring a propane stove. Good cell phone reception. Kids and dogs friendly :)

Attention Yelp moderators: This is NOT the same campground as the Peninsula Campground near Rollins…read moreLake. That is a far away, completely unrelated, privately owned campground. This is also NOT the same as Beals Point, which is a DIFFERENT campground over an hour away. This campground is one of three campgrounds owned and operated by Folsom SRA. (The others are Black Miners Bar in Folsom and Beals Point in Granite Bay.) The campground is HUGE, with well over 100 spaces. They normally have a lot more availability than the other Folsom campgrounds. It's about an hour away from Folsom, at the end of Rattlesnake Bar Road, which is at the end of Salmon Falls Road. In order to get to the campground, you have to drive down an 8 mile rustic, narrow road. Be forewarned that some people speed down this road with huge trucks and boats. There are two boat launch ramps at Peninsula. One is in the day use area, and the other is in the campground area, for campers only. Campsites 70-100 are closest to the boat dock and mooring area. Sites 1-40 are quieter and further away from the lake. Before booking a site, I would highly recommend doing a drive through if possible. I stayed at several different sites, and they are all very unique in their own ways. Some are isolated under trees up on a hill, some are crowded near the shore. Some have stone fire pits, and some don't. Oaks Nature Trail runs entirely inside of the campground, and can't be accessed from anywhere else. Darrington Trail runs about 8 miles from the campground to Salmon Falls Road. The staff will usually recommend making reservations online, which you can do if you're at least two days out. Peninsula is great because, if they still have spots available, they'll sell them to you, even if they're blocked out online. When in doubt, check with the staff. It's too hot for me to camp here in summer, but it is a really nice campground, and the fees are not too bad, especially if you have an access pass.
