Our family had a campsite here this week - in June. We've been camping all over the Eastern Sierras…read moreand Yosemite, so maybe we're used to nicer campgrounds. It took a LONG time to get entrance into the park - like a 20-30 mins. It had potential but some problems that need to be addressed. No camp host on site, which I think is why the restrooms aren't cleaned regularly. The bathrooms are also quite the walk from most campsites. Also know it'll be warm and buggy in June. There are lots of invasive vines in the oaks, so you can't really admire the trees. Bring bug spray and your floats. Our kids liked the slow float down the river in their inner tubes.

Nice little river area but lots of mosquitos, small sites, charge for the showers. We booked two nights, left a night early - bathrooms were disgusting, p*ss everywhere, people had phones plugged into chargers in the bathrooms, and one site set up a full PA and karaoke stand which they blasted non-stop and off-key the first night until midnight. Had little kids with us otherwise would have just rolled with it. Giving the park 2 stars because while the river is nice, the experience was brutal and trying to get a refund has been a headache.

Bathrooms definitely were not maintained. I understand some cultures throw used toilet tissue in the trash, but the signs clearly stated flush the tissue. It seemed the bathrooms were only cleaned once or twice a day, and there was always piles of used tissue on the floor along with feces and urine. Maybe larger trash cans in the stalls can help contain the mess.

This is the biggest general park in Ripon. It is a pretty large scale park with an upper and a…read morelower area. The upper area has 4 horseshoe pits and bocce ball courts. There is a small kids playground by these courts. Another part of the upper area consists of a large lawn area, which is plenty big for several different sports. There are two baseball diamonds and a medium size playground. The bathrooms are located by the baseball diamonds. Near this area is also a butterfly garden. When you walk to the lower area, there is a large gazebo which is nice for parties. There are two volleyball courts that consist of sand. The remaining area is fairly large and consist of lawn. The park parallels the Stanislaus river and there are several access points to enjoy the water. This park can get fairly busy on the weekends.

When the water is low it only comes up to your knees in most places and deep areas up to your waist. This part of the river is mostly sandy instead of rocky. The city keeps the park well maintained and there appears to a community center along with public restrooms, a butterfly garden, a large gazebo area and a volleyball area. Went on Labor Day and was surprised there were no crowds, especially since there is no entrance fee. You can either park in the park and walk to the river or you can park in a city parking area with paved trails leading towards the river. No BBQ grills or tables near the river but they do have lots of garbage bins so bring your dog, camp chairs and a picnic basket and soak in the natural beauty.
