Peninsula Campground

Amidst open woodlands interspersed with blue oaks, foothill pines and lupine or Indian paintbrush in the fertile spring wildflower season, you can sleep off the delicious exhaustion of days spent in the saddle, on a pair of jet skies or dipped in a warm summer lake! No matter where you pitch your tent at Folsom Lake State Recreation Area, you’ll never be too far from the refreshing song of water. Campsites here tend to be especially kid friendly, with easy access to boat ramps and picnic tables that border the lake’s splendor. In this well-loved recreation area you have more than one camping option to choose from. Peninsula Campground, a more secluded spot between the north and south forks of the American River, provides 100 family campsites and can accommodate trailers up to 18 feet and motor homes up to 24 feet. There are no site hookups, but there are flush toilets, hot showers and piped drinking water. You also have your pick of two launch ramps and a day use area.
