    Literally the worst camping place ever and since I chose it I had to hear family and friends complain how bored and lame the place was the entire time. Campsite itself is small and slanted on a hill. No campfires or charcoal allowed so there goes half our trip and food options. Showers take quarters and is a quarter per minute so bring cash or coins. Showers were dirty and worn down with big spiders in them. The lake is low so the "beach" is just mud and more mud. I left a day early with refund because it was that bad. Never again.

    It's amazing. Nice spot and can connect with internet which is good. I go often. I recommend it

    Pricing

    I can't believe this campground is $62 a night for lakefront sites +$7 for dogs per night (you have to book double nights on weekends apparently) The bathrooms were dirty, full of old spider webs, and showers are coin operated! After $62? Really? We stayed in site 54 which if we wanted to go in the lake, we had to walk down to 53, through their campsite and down some steep steps. Which btw there's really only 2 flattish areas you can bring chairs/cooler to. One of the 2 days we stayed, people were down on the only lake access area so we literally had nowhere to hangout down there. Unless you were in the water the whole time. Super disappointing. The walk down is steep and slippery so be careful. This side had vault toilets which were also dirty and didn't lock. Site 45 had good lake access as well on the other side. If you're ok with the price point, the lake is super nice. If you get to get a spot down there. They also have a beach area but no dogs so booooo! lol

    This campground is okay, kinda small spots with very few level spots. We had a large group and didn't have enough space for parking. We paid for a "double spot" and a 23' camper Filled it up, it was definitely not worth the extra $$. There is a boat ramp and dock too. They do have pit bathrooms and regular bathrooms with showers too.

    06/14: The new on site caretakers were much better than last year! The sites, beaches, and bathrooms are clean. The staff were kind and helpful. We'll be back next year. 06/ 2013 : Beautiful lake and campground, horrible new management! We've been going to this campground for 4 years and have always loved it. This year it was under new management and we were very disappointed. The restrooms were very very dirty and were not attended to or stocked regularly. The store was not stocked well. While the women living on site was nice and seemed to be trying very hard, other staff was impatient at best, rude and inhospitable overall. They seem to have very low standards and no pride in their work. Coincidentally (?) there seemed to be a lot of riff-raff in the day use area when there hasn't been in years past. 01/14 Update: Decided to give them another try this year and am already disappointed. Their reservations were managed horribly!!! I hope they figure things out soon.

    We spent our 4th of July at this place. When we approached the gates we met a few staff members Karen, Sam & Diane there was also a young lady a and guy didnt get there names. The staff was very friendly and informative and helpful we felt like part of there family. Thank you for being so nice . We got the spot #54 ( the point) which is the best campsite and it surely was. Breath taking views also there is a little walk way to the lake also across there is a man made stairs. The bathroom in this area is almost a porta potty no lights but it didnt bother us. There is a shower but we brought our own.The weather was perfect and so was the water. Other campers were also there and they were all nice and very respectful. We really enjoyed the nights , scary stories and smores. Unfortunately we had to leave on Friday the 5th because my son from the Navy came home so we decided to leave early so we can see him. We cleaned our space for new campers to enjoy that spot. We hope to come again and to the staff thank you so much we appreciate what you guys do and Ms. Karen thanks for the input about the puppy class and say hi to your fur baby for us.

    Campsite was nice and spacious. Garbage pickup was helpful. Only complaint was duck poop all over beach area. That was gross.

    The owners are very adamant about keeping their campground clean so they provide a trash pick up every two hours.

Four entry locations situated around this large lake. Friendly, helpful staff. Awesome views and several boat launches at the various points of entry. Very nice individual and group campgrounds. A little pricey at $22.00 per car, but they have reduced rates weekdays after 4 pm for $11.00. Additional charges for boats and canoes. There is also a free to park spot, but we locals generally don't give out that location as it quickly gets crowded.

    We kicked off our 4th of July bright and early with a fishing trip to Rollins Lake before heading…read moreto Ripley to catch the parade--and it couldn't have started the day off better! The whole fam-bam was out there by 7 a.m., lines in the water as soon as we could get them in. About 30 minutes in, our middle child--who ALWAYS seems to be the first to catch something--reeled in the first fish. Not long after, our youngest caught one too, literally right after releasing the first! Then I got in on the action, followed by my husband. Our oldest was getting tons of bites but just couldn't land one. With only about 30 minutes left before we had to pack up for the parade, my husband gave him a tip and sent him to his go-to spot. Boom--fish on the line right away! He let that one go, cast again, and caught another within minutes. It was a perfect ending to our morning. Rollins Lake is such a fun spot to fish as a family. Bring chairs, sunscreen, hats, and don't forget snacks and drinks. The port-o-potties weren't bad at all, and there was plenty of parking too. We had a blast and will absolutely be coming back soon!

    Went camping w/ the boy scouts last weekend. It was great once I got over all the scouting…read moreactivities. Having said that, it was very low key and enjoyable. The camp was right next to Rollins Lake. A fairly decent oasis amidst the trees in Nevada county. Water was cold which was heaven sent since the outside temperature was averaging around 90. The sand bar was a great hangout place. We took an aluminum boat out to the "bar" which was the only mistake. Can you say "ouch." Aluminum and heat don't mix y'all. Regardless, a good time was had by all. If you need to get away from the heat of SAC, go to this lake.

    WONDERFUL NEWS!!! I found a lake that isn't a small muddy pond(yes I am looking at you Folsom Lake…read moreand Camp Far West) late in the summer. The winner is Rollins Lake! Hadnt been here in, oh, I would say 20ish years. So I didn't recognize anything which means I came in with a fresh, open mind. First off the drive up to the lake is really nice. My wife even commented how she loved the trees and the view of the lake was gorgeous. The price was pretty decent, boat and truck was $13 for the day. We put the boat in at Long Ravine Campground which was called Cecil's Cove I believe. The young men at the gate were SUPER friendly, big thumbs up for that. The ramp is a little small and the two parking lots are set up kind of funny turning up a hill, but manageable. While cruising in the 5 mph zone you drive by the marina, the Store/Grill, swimming area, a cool slide that sits in the cove which you can slide off of it into the water, gas station(afraid to know how expensive it was) and boat rentals. I admit I liked the view of it all. The lake is a little on the small side but it also has huge fingers that weave deep into the mountains which are fun to drive into. Many of us commented on how clean the water was and the views were gorgeous. And get this, the water level was seriously 10 feet from maximum capacity. It looked like early summer. I really couldn't believe how full the lake was. We beached up all day and all of us had fun, including the dogs. You have a new fan Rollins Lake. A new fan indeed and I will see you soon. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TmCcq4yhrMY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Siwto_JvBkY

Proceeded to unload everything and got all set up. Employee drives down, talks to the 2 fishermen and says , "were closed but since youre already here, you can stay". Then proceeds to come over to my 2 young children and I and tells me that we "have to leave, they are closed". We tried paying the $22 for day use for a couple hours and put it in the payment slot thinking she would allow us to stay as she did the fishermen. Nope! Extremely rude and hostile, threatening demeanor in front of my kids. Left immediately, won't be back!

    Our family has been camping here for at least 10 years, every summer. It's a beautiful lake and a…read moredecent campground, but over the last few years, Nevada Irrigation District has become so greedy and that we are, sadly, now looking for another place to camp. Here's why: 1) We were just there at Long Ravine, and the campground was EMPTY, but we had a third vehicle for 4 of the 7 days we were staying. We were forced to pay over $200 for another campsite (which we NEVER used) just to park the third car even though the parking area right across from site 26 was completely empty the entire time! We were willing to pay the $20/night for the car, but this was ridiculous! They stated fire marshal rules, but there was NO evacuation danger! But then on Friday, when the camp filled up more, there was a car parked in the extra parking area with a camp tag! There was also a truck allowed to park on the dirt area between campsites! 2) Upon arrival, one of the stalls in the women's bathroom was taped up and noted out of order. We were told it was being fixed but it never was and the smell only got worse through the week and when we left on Saturday, another toilet was stopped up, leaving only one stall to use on a busy weekend. 3) We paid $68/night for another electric site even though we use tents. We have a boat and not only were we charged the $13/night extra charge for having a boat, but we were also charged a launch fee for each day of our stay, even though we didn't launch the boat every day! That should be part of the camping fee! 4) We went there a month early this year as we were told that they would be releasing the water starting July 1 due to repairs needing to be done, but upon arrival, the lake was already way down so there was no day beach or Great Lake access beaches as they were all in sludge! And they were still charging people $20/vehicle for their day use when it was so steep and rocky that you couldn't even get to the water easily! We get that fees go up, but then we should also see improvements to the camps! And to impose such restrictive and excessive fees is a total turn off. State campgrounds are hands-down much better than this and we'll only use them now.
