So welcoming, friendly, helpful and the little store has all kinds of things one might need, i.e. sodas , water, beer and wine, snacks, personal care, souvenirs etc... There's a patio deck overlooking the marina/docks on the river, its old and definitely could use some attention, maybe a little facelift, and even some music? We were going to pull into a riverfront site but the ones on the end were the only ones open, and the grass was covered with so much duck poop - BAD! We chose a site across from them instead which was perfect! No duck poop there... As beautiful as it is to see all the duck's congregating there on the grass on the ridge, it truly is a disgusting mess. Still, it's a beautiful place and I'd recommend camping here.

The road to get in and out is terrible. They have painted blue/white lines on the grass to outline your site and god forbid you accidentally run over the line with your rig Jim the "owner" will come out and lose his s#*t. Laundry room/ bathroom smell terrible and could be maintained cleaner. The whole campground is crusty... the "owner" Jim is an ass.

You need a gardener to clean the whole property, add the second bathroom! And clean and paint the other one. Fix screens and replace the disgusting sink. Add outdoor lighting for safety. GEEZE, a big trip hazard at night. Forbid campfires at 10pm so we don't smell smoke all night. Label the bathroom so we can find it, map is not accurate as it shows 2 bathrooms. And make the walkway safe! Stock the store too. This place looks like a dried up dust bowl and is not worth $95 per night. This property is a run down wreck and we will never ever stay there again.

They fill up the gas for you (only place around that doesn't charge you for gas) and if you run low while you're out on the water they come fill you up. I want to especially shout out Tessa and Jennifer in the front. We ended up changing our reservation and they were so accommodating and helpful. Jeremy and John/Jessie made me feel so comfortable with all of my questions and really cared about my family and so being safe and comfortable. Will use them next time we come out!!!

Extremely disappointed with this rental company. The customer service was unprofessional and they…read morehad no idea how to deal with customers respectfully. The tube they gave us was already torn before we even used it. As soon as we got on it, it ripped completely, even though we used it normally. Instead of taking responsibility for giving us damaged equipment, they blamed us and tried to charge us for it. They first demanded $230, and only after we argued with them did they suddenly lower the charge to $170, which makes no sense if we were actually responsible. I would not recommend renting from this place. Poor customer service, damaged equipment, and unfair charges. Save your money and go somewhere else.

The four stages are spread out all over the park with the first one literally underneath a freeway overpass. The other three are tucked away deeper into the park. The bar and food setup here are stellar. Finally a festival where the bars lines are almost existent and the food offered is more than just frozen pizza and hot dogs. My only complaint would be the entry and exit situation. It's two lane road that is part of the bridge over the river. So, it can take a while to leave since this is the only one main location to get out. It was so crowded, that we had to walk pretty far down the road just to catch our uber. Plenty of open grassy areas with tons of places for shade. Put on the suncreen!

We were gifted a beautiful day on the river with multiple sightings of wildlife including fish jumping, ducklings, geese, and even a bald eagle! The best part was getting to see the kids do something, get scared, have a blast doing it, and then ask to come back for more intensity next time. I really appreciated the guides for their hospitality, humor, and kindness. However my main piece of feedback would be a friendly reminder that nature and outdoor recreational activities are a form of escape and respite from our every day life, so being more mindful of the topics of conversation brought up during the ride is very important to the atmosphere.

It does travel down the dirt road, drive slow no dust signs around too. Becareful has its loaded with walkers/homeless around there. They have a big conservation/office. But do to covid not sure when open or what it offers. Was gonna go to he front door but it had a few peacocks around and Dilantin to bother them. They will walk Farley close to you if you let them. They also have a few native gardens around and some seating. They did have a sign up to help take care of the gardens. If you follow the trail it will land you on a small beach like setting around the American River. Around the office they have a big yard and its well kept up too. Park ranger were around and employees keeping up the place. Over all pretty good spot for a quick trip to let the kids run around or a spot to fish. Ans you can see some local WILD LIFE. There was a spot to leave a requested donation for $5 parking/visiting, not sure if someone took it or of it was removed. But not fully required too.

As I drove in, there were two park ranger cars leaving, I didn't see any homeless camps and there aren't any garbage in, out, or around the entire area. And as you drive further into the camp site, you do see wild peacocks along side the road. I didn't get out to venture on but it seems like a good easy hiking place. They do have picnic tables right out front. It's nature so of course there's a lot of trees and bushes and I think there might be pathway for a nice walk. I'm just not sure if it's a good place for younger kids to hike because if they go off the path, there could be prickly grass etc that could be unsafe. I wanted to leave an updated review for those that are considering a visit. From the pictures on yelp to what I saw, the park has changed drastically and also patrolled by park rangers more. If I do get to chaperone, I'll update this review more with photos.

I went with a group of 10, last July, and it ended up being such a chaotic (in the best way) and bonding experience. We still talk about it to this day. They also offer a group discount, which is worth looking into and made it feel like a really good value for everything included. All of us were first-timers, so we were definitely a little nervous going in, but the staff made it feel really welcoming right away. They gave a quick crash course/overview on how to navigate the water and what to expect, which helped ease a lot of the nerves. I'd say it's very beginner-friendly, just keep in mind it is a Class 2-3 course, so there are still some rocky and more exciting sections. The rafting is self-guided, so there's no guide on your raft, but there is a sweeper raft at the end making sure everyone gets through safely. There was also one section where the rapids got pretty wild, and staff were there helping anyone who got stuck, which I appreciated. Overall, everything felt organized and ran smoothly. We did the 2-day experience, and I'd recommend it if you're comfortable with camping. The overnight stay is outdoors, so just something to keep in mind if you're not used to that. The campsite had a really social vibe with a happy hour, group activities, and just people hanging out, which made it even more fun. The food was honestly better than I expected. We had steak and baked potatoes for dinner, and a breakfast burrito station in the morning. During the rafting, there were also a lot of scenic spots along the way where you could rest and take everything in. I remember passing by what used to be a volcanic site, which was really cool to see. Each raft comes with a waterproof bag for your belongings and lunch, but I'd recommend bringing extra snacks, water or electrolytes, sunscreen, and good water shoes. Overall, I'd definitely recommend this for friend groups, especially if it's your first time rafting. It's a great mix of fun, a little bit of challenge, and just a really unique experience. My friends and I are already planning to go again this year.
