Booked one of the cabins for a long weekend with some friends for a relaxing retreat from the city. This place exceeded all expectations. From the start, the staff was friendly, helpful, and attentive. The manager, Layla, personally greeted us at check in and gave us a lot of great advice for the local area (where to eat, rent boats, etc). Whenever we stopped by the main office on our way in or out, she remembered my name and checked in to make sure everything was going great. We didn't run into any real issues, but I could tell they would have diligently solved them. Once we got to the cabin, the breathtaking view of the lake from the cabin and balconies was so serene. There was even a little private beach (only about 20 feet long) which we share with a few of our resort neighbors but was mostly empty. Perfect to dip our feet in the water and jump on the boogie board -- literally 2 minute walk from our balcony. The food options are a little limited, but the remote nature is one of the perks of this place, so I can't complain. What I ate from the local pizza joint and grocery was all tasty. The kitchen was well stocked with cooking and eating utensils so you could definitely take care of yourself with ease. The beds were comfortable and AC strong (both musts for me). Overall I can't really think of anything I'd change. Except maybe staying 2 nights longer. read more

My family and I have been coming to Lake Nacimiento for over 25 years. We've stayed in the lodges, trailers and for the last 10 years in the cottage across from the general store. This trip was a huge disappointment. When we got to the cottage, there were several things that were missing and of course there's no cell service so you have no way of contacting anyone to tell them about it. The worst part was the general store was closed for two days in a row, which is unacceptable. They should've told every single person entering at the gate that the store would be closed. Who does inventory in the height of the season? We had to drive to the store down the hill outside of the resort to get more ice, etc Since we got cell service down the hill, I called and told them what was missing and I never heard back. To top it off, the boat slip that we were given had another boat in it. Next year when we go to Lake Nacimiento, we will be renting an Airbnb and save ourselves a big headache! The only reason I'm giving two stars instead of one is because they put the fire pit on the grassy area with pavers around it, which was a huge improvement and got a new barbecue so you could cook everything at the one time. read more

The cabin itself is very updated and the ac works great but the parking is horrible. A generator is parked directly in front of the parking spots on a very narrow one way road which a full size truck cannot get into. We tried calling the desk and no one answered. Earlier in the day no customers were in there yet the message says "we are busy working with other customers" after several rings. We drove down there to mention the generator and were told to park in some other spots close by, which was about a 1/4 mile away. We tried that and other people were parked in them already. We come back around the one way road and find someone else parked in our spot. Apparently no one here cares about parking. We had to park down in the boat trailer area and had to hike back up because the stairs to get here are all blocked off with caution tape. We tried calling the desk again and surprise, no answer. No one answers the phones or returns calls which is very frustrating to say the least. The ire from the room is amazing though which is so far the only plus read more

Lake Nacimiento Resort - The lake - Campgrounds Near Me - Bradley, California

Yes, I would recommend this place. We just stayed in the small Lodge but it had everything stove big refrigerator. Nice sink big sink, big dining room table. Nice couch king size bed. A nice balcony wasn't large, but I had a couple chairs and we brought our own looking right out at the lake. read more

Great view of the lake and the lodge was very clean too! The walls are paper thin so we heard the neighbors until midnight. Otherwise this place was GREAT! I hope to visit again. read more

The good: -You can book a site pretty last minute. -There's a pool you can use for the day for $5 per person (up to 50 people). Each person has to physically go to the camp store to buy the passes, you can't just buy them for your family. The pool was small but cute and had nice lounge chairs. The lifeguard was nice. We spent the majority of our trip here. -There's a lake. -The showers are free. -The camp store was great for last minute items we may have forgotten. The bad: -This campground is NOT good for family camping. People come here to party hard ALL night long. Loud, crude music and screaming all night with no regulation from the camp host at all. -The lake is not relaxing, it's also party central. Super overcrowded and loud music, everyone is sandwiched on top of eachother. It's really rocky and mossy so bring water shoes. -Even though we paid $1200 for the campsite and had the receipt for that, we threw away the pink ticket they gave us upon entering so they refused to let us out at the end of our trip unless we paid another $47 to get out. They never told us we had to keep it to exit. The man at the exit booth was so rude. -The showers are disgustingly dirty- full of hair, tampons, trash. -The campsites are filled with trash. We're big on leaving our campsites cleaner than we left them and always have the everyone pick up 10 pieces of trash- bottle tops and can tabs etc. before leaving. But here, each person picked up 20+ pieces (not ours) and there was still more. -The entire campsite was on a slant, so that was tough for tent camping. -Everyone drives fast around the campground so the kids did not scooter around like they normally do camping. -There's a water spigot at the campsite but the water from it runs right through the campsite at site 10, creating a big muddy river. This is our 6th camping trip in the past year, and by far our worst. Thankfully, our friends we came with and the pool helped make the experience better. We'll definitely never camp here again and do not recommend it. read more

The site was nice and clean. The trailer itself was very well appointed. The staff were friendly. Three issues; 1. The propane was not turned on when we got there and so we couldn't light the stove. No instructions were given about turning it on (and there were plenty of other instructions) - the AC was on when we arrived (yay) so we assumed that all that was needed was on. When we called to get some help - it was the after 4:00 maintenance emergency line - no answer. We left a message and no one ever called us back. So good that it wasn't life or death. Having an emergency line to call was great. Having no answer and no call back was not. 2. There was a critter in the trailer - never saw him/her (thank goodness) but food was gnawed on. 3. The pool was closed and frankly looked like I would not want to be in it anyway but it should have been known that the pool would be closed. read more

Lake Nacimiento Resort - Nice lake view - not walkable from trailer. - Campgrounds Near Me - Bradley, California

Filled out a form for less than stellar review for them to private message me right away as they said. It's been several weeks without any response. So sharing my experience. This was our first camping experience at the resort, and unfortunately we left disappointed due to repeated noise issues, freezing showers and lack of enforcement of quiet-hour policies. The posted rule states that amplified sound must come to a complete stop no later than 10 PM. This was not the case for the majority of the weekend. One large group had a massive speaker mounted on a tripod playing music loudly for the surrounding area, not just their own campsite. The music continued past quiet hours while they played volleyball late into the night, with the ball repeatedly rolling into our campsite. Another posted rule states, "No equipment shall be operated in such a way as to interfere with any other person(s)' quiet enjoyment of the resort/park." Unfortunately, this also was not followed. In addition to the large group, our direct neighbors had a large JBL speaker playing loudly despite only having three tents. We woke up to loud music and went to bed to loud music. It became difficult to even enjoy a normal conversation around our campfire. By the end of the trip, we left feeling overstimulated and unable to fully enjoy what should have been a relaxing camping experience. My spouse walked over to the security booth to report the issue, but no one was there. Since we had no cell service, we were unable to contact patrol when we had finally reached our limit with the noise. We also learned we were not the only campers affected. On Monday, a neighboring tent camper borrowed a hammer from us and mentioned they had not stayed at their own campsite after the first night because the partying and noise were too much. They instead slept at a friend's quieter campsite. I understand that staff cannot be everywhere at once, but I wish patrols would monitor the campground more proactively instead of relying solely on complaints. When extremely large speakers are visibly being used to project music beyond a single campsite, especially past quiet hours, it affects the enjoyment of many guests and creates an unpleasant environment for those seeking a peaceful camping experience. We were excited for our first camping trip here and truly hoped for a more enjoyable and relaxing experience. read more

Absolutely blown away (in the worst way) by our experience at Lake Nacimiento Resort. We spent hundreds of dollars to camp there and even rented a pontoon boat for the day--so not exactly low-effort customers. Everything was great... until we tried to leave. At the exit, we were STOPPED and told we could not leave unless we produced a small paper camping tag that had been sitting on our dashboard. If we couldn't find it? We would be charged AGAIN for our stay. Yes, seriously. We offered to show our reservation confirmation email, proof of payment, and anything else they needed. Didn't matter. We were told it was "the tag or nothing." No flexibility, no common sense, and apparently no ability (or willingness) to look up a paid reservation in their own system. So let me get this straight--you can spend hundreds of dollars with them, have a confirmed reservation, and still be threatened with duplicate charges over a flimsy piece of paper? And the best part? No one tells you at check-in that this tag is required to EXIT the property or you risk being charged again. According to staff, it's written in the fine print on the back of the tag. Because yeah, everyone reads the fine print on a parking slip while setting up camp. We eventually found it crumpled in the truck, but by that point the damage was done. The whole interaction felt less like customer service and more like being held hostage by a bad policy. We camp all over the place and have NEVER experienced anything like this. Entry verification? Totally normal. Exit enforcement under threat of double billing? Completely absurd. For a place charging premium prices, this kind of treatment is unacceptable. If you're planning a trip here, just know: guard that little paper tag with your life... because apparently it matters more than your actual reservation and payment. Needless to say, we won't be back read more

We had an amazing time on the lake, which was lovely. However, we did learn a lot about the site and unless you have T-Mobile and or AT&T, there is no cell service unless you're in the visitor center with things like Verizon. And even then it's only two bars. There is no Wi-Fi anywhere and the showers though clean did not get very warm. The staff were amazing. The store was lovely. The boat rental Marino had some amazing People working there. I loved everything about the location and I had to switch due to hookups to normal, which was my favorite new campsite area. I highly recommend. read more

Lake Nacimiento Resort - View from the lodge on the top of the hill where I could get two bars for my cell phone - Campgrounds Near Me - Bradley, California

Had a great time, one of the team members named Brian was very helpful and very nice. he seemed very sincere and happy to help.

Just wanted to give a shout out to the reservation desk. Our family has been camping at Naci for well over 50 years. Even though my parents moved to Paso in '89, we still make it a priority to spend at least one week at the lake every summer. Just a couple of weeks ago my husband started a new job and can't make it. As a result, I won't be needing our larger trailer. Bringing the baby trailer instead and wanted to give my site to another family member with a larger rig. The staff was so accommodating and allowed us to move our sites so that we will still be together for the week. Thanks Naci Staff - as usual - you do not disappoint! read more

We had a great stay at this newly renovated lodge near Lake Nacimiento. It was very clean, private, and had a cozy deck to relax on. The king-size bed was spacious and comfortable--perfect after long days at the lake. There's one parking spot directly in front, and the lodge is on a steep hill, so we were glad we brought our electric bikes to get around easily. Overall, a peaceful and comfortable retreat to return to each evening! Be prepared for the ultimate escape as there was minimal cell phone reception (Verizon), we enjoyed it! read more

I owned a lake cabin in one of the the communities on the other side of the lake so I never had a need to camp at the resort. We had our family annual reunion with about 70 people at the resort this year. The people that helped with the reservations were really great. Contacting them early in the year we were able to reserve almost a whole loop with plenty of room for everyone to be together. The spaces we nice and level. For those who didn't want to camp they were able to rent one of the RVs available or a cabin. The lake is a low but still within walking distance or a short drive if hauling stuff dawn for the day at lakeside. Overall a great weekend for our whole group. Thank you Nacimiento Resort! read more

we love naciemiento we go every two weeks during the summer and the pine knoll sites are great and a short walk to the water. All the staff are very friendly and look forward to our next trip read more

We stayed here the weekend of May 14 for 3 nights. First time coming here as our son in law wanted to camp here for his birthday and his mom lives very close so she could visit. First night people across from my daughter and son in law were very loud with music and voices and disrespectful. this was way past the quiet time. My son in law went and talk to the camp host but nothing happened. The next night same thing, when they were asked to be quiet, by my son in law, not a host because they don't come around, they moved to across from us. At 2:00am we were woken up by loud talking and laughter, they were literally standing right outside our RV. My husband yelled at them to be quiet at 2:30 and told them we were trying to sleep and we had kids sleeping. They yelled back "Then go to sleep". Next morning music was on very loud with every other word being the Mother F...ing word and facing our campsite. My son in law finally went over and asked them nicely to please turn it down as we had a 4 yr old with us. Our last night there before dinner my daughter and I searched out the host and explained what had been happening and could they please drive through at 10pm and after to make sure people are quiet. The said they would be on it. And they did . Finally some quiet in the campsite! The camp host never came around at night during quiet time to check to make sure everyone was obeying the "Rules". They drive around in the day when basically no one is at the sites because everyone is down by the water. They have signs all over the campgrounds stating the quiet hours and chance of being kicked out if you don't follow the rules , but no one does anything about it. And when you make the reservations you have to put out a $200.00 deposit per site and don't get it back if you don' t follow the rules etc. I Personally do not think the people across from us should of gotten the deposit back. If you are not going to enforce the rules why do you make them. We will not be going back to Pine Knolls. read more

It was rather difficult to reach any customer service. It always went to voicemail. When we arrived late at night, the whole streets were too dark so we got lost. We called the emergency after hour, it went to voicemail. The person never returned the call The marina is closed so we couldn't rent anything. The system was down so we had to drive 16 mi to the nearest Walmart/Big 5 for w fishing license and purchase of fish poles. So no kayaking no boating without having your own stuff The lake was dirty gray unlike Lake Cachuma. The cabin was nice though, kinda expensive in my opinion. They didn't give us free charcoals for grilling. read more

View was awesome! What's lacking are small details. We stayed in a one bedroom and there were 3 of us. The small little closet had no hangers, the shower toilet area doesn't have any hooks, which is an easy fix...a hook to hang a robe would be thoughtful and inexpensive. The bedroom needs a door, folding or just something to have a little privacy, you may be traveling with a teenager who is sleeping in the sofa bed...Better chairs for balcony. Metal chairs are hot in summer and extremely cold in winter. Just pay attention to the small details that makes the person(s) staying you, the business owner thought it through. read more

The reservation staff was able to find us a rental trailer over the holiday weekend at a decent price, and accommodate our last minute needs. The trailer we rented, (T-723), was a ways from the water, which was a drag, but overall camp ground area was clean, fellow campers were cool, and laid back. Special shout out to Jacob and the crew at the marina. They turned a good trip into an amazing trip. We appreciated their hard work and willingness to go the extra mile. 10 out of 10 we will be back! read more

I'm really upset and plan to leave negative reviews. When we first arrived we were sent to the wrong spots we drove around with the wrong tag looking for the incorrect spot had to turn around because I knew it wasn't our spot. They asked to look up my reservation by my last name which is Martinez and it was under a different last name. Then when we were leaving my tag blew off my car when I was checking out. I told them there at the exit gate. We had our second car tag but they made me double pay just to leave. I'm low income. We litterally took all the money we had to bring my kids and have family time and the gate people were so rude about it. I'm a single mom to have to double pay for our stay just because of a piece of paper when I left at the time I was suppposed to and made effort to keep our camp site prestige for the next camper was ridiculous. And I still don't have my deposit back yet. We would have had the best time if we didn't have to double pay!! read more

I've been coming to this lake since I was 10years old almost every year and im now 43 years old and I gotta say even though they have remodeled the condos their management of them is not up to par, we had mice in our condo with mouse droppings all over the condo floor the kitchen table, the chairs and the top of the couch (see attached pictures) this is unacceptable and how ypu contract haunta virus. The phones don't work up there so there is no one you can talk to after 5pm when management leave because you don't get service. Also this is the second incident I've had there this year, the first one was when two guys stole my parking spot for two days that was my assigned parking I paid a premium for and I was told that somone would look into it but they just gave me $100 to shut me up, no follow up nothing on the incident. read more

Biggest thank you to Layla Decker who clearly sets the bar for her team's hospitality focused approach that made the place feel like I was visiting family. You guys are lucky to have her and she can't be a day over 30 so if you want to keep her til she's 35 and beyond, don't be cheap when the time for raises or bonuses comes around! I don't often write reviews and I definitely don't make sure I post them in multiple places but after our family stay at the Lake Naciamento Resort, not only am I doing both,l'll also be singing their praises to anyone who will listen for a long time. I was coming to the area to work over the weekend but we made a last minute decision to bring the family and make a little vacation out of it. We must have called a million times with a million different questions and honestly I felt so unorganized and like a pain in the (you know what) but the staff, especially GM Layla Decker, made us feel like family and I commend them all for having the patience of a 1,000 saints. By the time we arrived we felt like we already knew Layla and her staff thanks to all our phone calls. I cannot begin to say just how helpful they were. Not only did they answer all our questions and calls but they went above and beyond and called me to advise how the foggy weather could affect my early morning departures for work as I'm unfamiliar with the resort. To say we are sad to leave after such a wonderful experience is the understatement of the year. It was such a great feeling leaving for work knowing my family was there in such wonderful and helpful hands while I was away. Thank you, Lake Naciamento, Resort! We'll be back!!! P.S. there are many amazing things to say about the resort itself such as the renovated cabin we stayed in, the beautiful property and fun things it has to offer, or just how easy it was to enjoy every moment of our time there. But nothing stood out as much our appreciation for the staff; as we were blown away by their hospitality and thoughtful interaction's so I focused on that for this review. read more

I heard that Lake Nacimiento renovated their lodges and I was really interested. I booked the lodge for 2 nights 05/31 - 06/02 and although a bit expensive the renovation was well worth it. However, there were a few hiccups upon check-in. 1st- The outlet in the kitchen wasn't working. I called maintenance line and they came and replaced it, but it still didn't work. Not the end of the world, but for a lodge that was just renovated there is no exceptions. So, coffee maker had to be moved to the ground to another outlet. 2nd- The propane grill out on the patio was not igniting and it turns out the battery was missing. We called maintenance AGAIN, and they were prompt to come and fix the issue and add the missing battery. At this point, I was getting tired of calling the maintenance hotline. I was hoping this would be my last time I called for assistance. 3rd- Upon check-in, we noticed ants crawling all over the floor and kitchen counter tops. We have not brought any food into the lodge yet and there was already ants all over the counter and floor. Lucky for me, I get to call maintenance line for the third time! Maintenance returned to spray raid and left us the can in case we needed to spray again. 4th- Refrigerator was acting up a bit where it would not run cold for a few hours then run cold again. Not sure what's going on, but did not want to call maintenance. 5th- It took two weeks for the refund deposit to return and that's with me calling them to REQUEST the refund. Also, their reservation line is IMPOSSIBLE to get a hold of someone. So, good luck! Otherwise, beautiful lake and great amenities, but the lodge needs a lot of touch up. Parking at the front of the lodge is super tight so, be careful up there. read more

Thank you Rich !!!!!! I would like to take a moment and say how grateful and appreciative I am of how my situation was taken care of. I had a very big weekend planned and was not able to launch my boat due to the mussel issue , but Rich was very helpful and did all he could to make my vacation not a complete disaster. I was angry and not very receptive but Rich took the time for me to calm myself and his calm demeanor was commendable. I'm again grateful for not only his help with the resort but his kindness to see I was frustrated and he wanted our stay to go well. Needless to say my family had a great time at Lake Nacimiento Resort and we will definitely be back soon. Thanks again Rich your amazing. read more

We stayed as a group at this resort. It is beautiful and nested nicely between hills and the lake as a back drop. Location: 5 * Cabins: 3.5 *, as I think, need a few upgrades to make it the best.

Do not stay at the resort lodges. If you don't have time to read, simply look at the pictures. The lodge was in unacceptable condition. ~ The smell - OLD, musty, mixed with a highly potent and inappropriate use of scented laundry detergent. ~ The furnishings - from the 80s? (Pictured) That pink faux wood stuff. But it was clear that some of the pieces in the set needed to be updated in the past 40 years, and these were replaced with OUTDOOR FURNITURE and what felt/ looked like a home-used couch.. with tea-themed throw pillows. ~ The carpet... it seemed like there were more stains than there was actual carpet (pictured) - but they don't make that color anymore, either. A mauve also not seen since the 80s. They bleached every stain, so there were white spots of various circumferences spotting the floor throughout. ~ The sheets were barely being held together. As a kid (90s), I was obsessed with the soft middle light brown blanket in every genetic hotel room and wanted to bring one home. What a horrifying experience it was to find this same brown, once soft sheet in this bed (pictured). The sheets were at least consistently white but as I mentioned above, they use an extremely strong, cheap laundry detergent or softener (and too much of it) and it's not the neutral, clean smell you expect and want from a hotel stay. They were also crispy, like from over washing. And the mattress was very creaky, and the lamp on the bedside would only turn on if you toggled the knob in between on and off and sometimes it would flicker. ~ The age of the bathroom wallpaper ... the colors are 80/90s, it's shrunk, peeling off, and cracked all over (pictured). The "old" smell is particularly concentrated in here. Here's one plus: the shower pressure is lovely. But locking into the right temperature for your shower is a nightmare. ~ Stains all over the towels (pictured). On more than half the towels we were given. But all the towels had been so used and washed that they barely absorbed any water. They were rough and scratchy, thin and disgusting. Like what you'd use as a misc cleaning rag at home. ~ There are no TVs. None. I've never been in a hotel without a TV. Can't decide if this was a choice or if someone walked out with it and they just haven't noticed yet. ~ The dual porches would have been so nice, and would have been where we spent the majority of our minimal time in this room but ... (pictured) look at the state of them! The wood is splintered, chipping, lying in pieces and (my favorite part of our stay): the sign warning visitors not to lean against railing. ~ Holes drilled in the ceiling where the fire sprinklers were put in (pictured) ~ There was a weird adjoining door situation and we never figured out if it actually locked because our end appeared not to.. we slept with chairs against the front door and the adjoining door. ~ They use real keys, not keycards. ~ Location - the lake is beautiful but you're not exactly lakefront at the lodges. You can't walk out your door and down to it, it would take quite a big circle to get there. And that would be overlooked, if the accommodations weren't so depressing. ~ Geography-wise, the road to and from Paso is winding and it takes about 22-30 minutes to get to the heart of town. The drive would be confusing and possibly dangerous after dark your first time. And you would never be able to find your room anyway - but aren't you lucky? ~ The Wifi worked fine the first night, it didn't work at all the second. Why did we stay? In hindsight - I should have booked another hotel. In the moment, I was on a tight budget. Don't make the same mistake. Do not stay at Lake Nacimiento Resort. read more

Great vacation. Really good staff patrolling the park. Keeping noise down and looking out for the patrons. Will be coming back again

We pulled-in late evening mid Oct2025 to spend one night enroute north on HWY101. It was our 1st time at the lake. It was down to 36% full. The front kiosk woman who checked-us-in was very nice and helpful given late arrival and starting to rain. She found a campsite near the high lake level shoreline (#15 Pine Knoll) for us and we enjoyed a clean, rainy campground stay. There was not one other camper in this CMG and I give 5 stars to the overall one night camping experience. However, the next morning we took a tour of the empty CMG. I must report that the resort executives must've been very greedy when designing and constructing Pine Knoll given the extreme crowding of camp sites. In addition, many sites have become eroded and have settled so much that most of the asphalt drive-ins are ridiculously tilted, such that even the most capable RV will not be able to level their rig without 6-12" of jacks&lifters and/or blocks. Tent campers will not enjoy the crowding at Pine Knoll. Thus, I highly recommend that the executives&management spend the money to mitigate the settling&erosion evident at Pine Knoll and decrease the crowding of sites before some camper hurts themselves trying to camp there. It's a liability issue. read more

We stayed at Oak Knoll campsite, this is so we can charge our batteries on our boat. Last year we stayed at Oak Knoll, same time April. They were redoing the restroom/ shower. Nobody said this when we booked the site. So no shower, no restroom. Stayed 1 night and left, pretty bad by not saying anything. Decided to book it, this year, new restroom and shower, wow! So the change was for ADA, that's nice, but whoever did the work - ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE (I WOULD ASK FOR MY MONEY BACK), THE FLOOR FLOODS OUTSIDE THE SHOWER. THEY DON'T DO A VERY GOOD JOB CLEANING! THE SHOWER WAS NASTY! Booked 2 nights, stayed 1, left. My fishing partner and I had been fishing there for the last 7 years, in April. After this last fiasco, we decided, we will not be back. I hate to give 1 star, because the employees at the front gate are very nice. Problem ask a question, they don't know how to answer. Unless I here something, Drastically has changed, don't think I will ever come back. read more

The lodges at Lake Nacimiento were definitely appreciated compared to tent camping or being at a busy campground with an RV. Beautiful views! The lodge has a small kitchen, but you'll need to bring the essential utensils and pots and pans if you want to cook anything specific. The supply is limited and probably inconsistent from a stay to stay. We stayed in the smaller lodge that accommodated four people. We had to share both sides of the walls with other lodges, and it was quite noisy with the other lodges being above us and on each side of us. The entire facility needs work. It's very outdated, quite stained, and worn. Please get a new pull out sofas! The springs are so uncomfortable for the kids!! Also, we had to walk past our car and down the hill to use a grill that is commonly shared with other guests. It is fine, but it would be nice to have our own private grill outside of our lodge, dedicated for our own use and next to our kitchen. there's not much warm water, may be good for one person to take a 10 minute shower if that. The pipes under our unit had a pretty good leak going on, I'm sure that will be addressed. Bring your own soap and toiletries. That being said, there's not many other choices and we did want our own private space so we will book again, but try out a larger lodge next time. And hopefully there will be a few updates. read more

Lake Nacimiento Resort - Small Lodge - Campgrounds Near Me - Bradley, California

See all

We were allowed to check in early (for a fee), the house was clean and the view was spectacular!! Although, we didn't mind the conditions, the lodge can use an updated layout, which I believe is already in the works. My only complaint would be the slight smell of pet odor as you walk in (lodge 15). Everything else was conveniently located. Can't wait to revisit this beautiful lake again soon!! read more

Lake Nacimiento Resort - Our view from Lodge #15 - Campgrounds Near Me - Bradley, California

the process of reserving a campsite lets you view an overall picture of of the area Sandy Point, but not the actual campsite itself. After staying there I can see why. The campsite was horrible and dangerous. There as one small spot flat enough for a tent. Where the table was located there was barley room to walk around the table one side the hill started and cliff on other side of the table. We had two children under five and it was dangerous for them to be at table. There was no shade at all like in the pictures. For a hundred bucks a nite I expected it to be at least safe. read more
