Although this CG got bad reviews, I really liked it here. I was in the Peninsula CG, which was on the other side of the bay from the big (Blue Oaks) CG, and it was quiet and peaceful. I am not a fan of crowds, and this place looks like it would be a zoo in the summer and weekends.

I was in the Peninsula CG, which was on the other side of the bay from the big (Blue Oaks) CG, and it was quiet and peaceful. I am not a fan of crowds, and this place looks like it would be a zoo in the summer and weekends. However, in October the north side of Camanche seems to be very quiet. Hiking was always peaceful, no one else in sight. For one of the nights, however, there was a loud group across at Blue Oaks. Real loud. Then that bomb cyclone came in and chased them away...I tried fishing, but didn't catch anything - but that won't stop me from trying again.The water was low, but an easy walk to the water's edge. One warning - there's no water (or electric) on the Peninsula...get some before you get there. Only porta-potties on this side also...no showers.If you are into 'unrestricted' dry camping, there is a CG on this side that is basically dispersed camping, but was not open at this time of the year. Too bad, it sure looked nice.
Worst experience ever

Whatever limit there is for people at a campsite is non-existent. There was easily more than 20 people at certain sites. If there is a curfew, nobody follows it. I think I saw a park worker once the entire time. Nobody is enforcing any rules. I actually heard gun shots at one point. Never again
Okay in Off Season

Off season rates are $80 a week, so the price is right. I stayed in Blue Oak Campground. It has primitive camping. You either back into or pull beside your grassy site. All seem to have picnic tables. Water is in a communal area. Where I stayed, the bathroom facilities were brand new and nice. I did not try the showers, since I had my own. There are pay showers in the new bathroom site and free ones in the older bathroom site, but the bathrooms are not heated. The laundry facilities provided are not clean, though. Just the opposite of the bathrooms. I had no trouble getting cell phone service with ATT. The lake is huge and the water is clear. The shoreline is over 50 miles around. This makes access to anywhere for your groceries about 25 or more minutes. It was quiet while I stayed there, and there were few campers. There is security that patrols all night, which I liked being so close to the San Joaquin Valley and Stockton. It really is a fair price. I am rating them a bit lower, since I don't like low elevation sites, and due to the nasty laundry room. Other than that, I think it is a good, budget, off-season destination for primitive camping. There is a trail that you can pay for (why when I have already paid to camp?) that follows the Mokelumne River that I will try next time. There is also an RV park with full hook-ups for more money, but I did not try it.
