PLEASE TAKE NOTE: THERE ARE 2 DIFFERENT CAMPGROUNDS AT 2 DIFFERENT LOCATIONS ON FOLSOM LAKE: ONE LOCATION IS BEALS POINT CAMPGROUND IN GRANITE BAY. (HAS BOTH BASIC AND LUXURY GLAMPING) THE 2ND LOCATION IS PENINSULA CAMPGROUND IN PILOT HILL (ONLY HAS BASIC GLAMPING) Located at the base of the Sierra foothills, the lake and recreation area offers opportunities for hiking, biking, running, camping, picnicking, horseback riding, water-skiing and boating. Fishing offers trout, catfish, big and small mouth bass or perch. Visitors can also see the Folsom Powerhouse (once called "the greatest operative electrical plant on the American continent"), which from 1885 to 1952 produced 11,000 volts of electricity for Sacramento residents. For cyclists, there is a 32-mile long bicycle path at Beals Point that connects Folsom Lake with many Sacramento County parks before reaching Old Sacramento. The park also includes Lake Natoma, downstream from Folsom Lake, which is popular for crew races, sailing, kayaking and other aquatic sports. At both locations, you will stay in 16ft deluxe tents. Each tent has 2 full beds in them. At Beals Point we offer "Luxury" Glamping with real furniture, cozy bedding, and all the amenities you need for a relaxing and fun filled stay for up to 8 people (AT BEALS POINT ONLY!). At both Beals Point and Peninsula, we also offer "Basic" Glamping, where we bring the tent and mattresses, and you bring the rest. This means that you need to bring your own sheets, pillows, sleeping bags, blankets and other camping essentials. Close by the sites are public restrooms with running water, drinking water, and showers. Hiking trails are found all around at both locations. At Beals Point you can rent kayaks, visit the snack bar, or take a dip in the lake- whatever suits your needs can be found close by!

1 night at Camp Electra in Mokelumne Hill

We loved our stay on Ryan’s land in his VW Vanagon under the cedars and pines. Loved the simplicity of the set up, along with the great outdoor shower/toilet he designed. Ryan was a great host, we loved chatting with him about our love for Volkswagens. If we don’t have our bus going next trip, we’d definitely love to be back!

Our boys spent hours playing together right outside our tent.

Lucy the retro trailer had everything we needed for a great weekend in Napa Valley. Very comfortable bed, they have an incredible outdoor shower and the land it sits on is secluded and quiet. The stand out to us was how incredibly nice and communicative David and Guy were. We hope to book with them again in the future.

All around great experience. Everything was provided as listed. There was a bbq pit, fire pit, table, cabana and a spacious tenet. The walk to the lake is near, but you can also use your parking pass to park near the lake.

1 night at Camp Electra in Mokelumne Hill

Camp Electra is the perfect place to hhangout after a day exploring in and around Mokelumne Hill. Your host, Ryan, has built an incredible outdoor bath house with a hot shower and a tankless toilet. The VW van makes for an easy accommodation and night outside under the stars. If you're looking for a place with a communal feel definitely checkout Camp Electra! We enjoy hanging out with Ryan's two friendly dogs, too. Pro-tip: Ryan has a second VW van available that he can drive down to the site for a little more room for groups or kids (Available as an "extra" during the booking process on Hipcamp)

Weekend Trip to Camp Electra in Mokelumne Hill

We stayed Friday night and Saturday night. There was a group staying at the campsite too. They were close by, but really respectful of noise and were similar closeness as you would find at a state campground. The van does not have a working stove, but Ryan has an outdoor double burner propane stove you can use. He has a couple pans you can use but share with the other camp if there are people there which he says this was the first time both sites were booked at the same time. The cast iron he offered needed seasoning, so I recommend just bringing your own pans, spatula, plates, bowls cups and utensils. You can hear noise from the highway, but that is often the same as state campgrounds too. The bed was soft, and more comfortable than sleeping in a tent. My partner is 6’3” so his feet dangled off the end as expected, but he said it was fine. I do not think it could fit more than 2 people. Ask Ryan ahead of time if you’re bringing a dog and want it to sleep in the van, because I don’t think he wants that if your dog sheds a lot. It was fun walking to Renegade Winery Friday night for dinner and dancing to live music with the older crowd. We drove to a hike in Stanislaus on Saturday and stopped at Posterity Cider house on the way back. The Vaught Beach swimming hole is great and only 15min drive. It seems like Ryan is still getting into the swing of hosting, but he’s really friendly and will bring you what you need from his house. We bought firewood from him which was plentiful.

We loved staying on Jamie's land! It was a wonderful get away that started with a cool ferry ride. He truly thought of everything with access to an out side grill, wood for buring, pots pans/ bowls and plates even extra toothpaste and tooth brushes which was needed b/c we forgot ours. So thanks Jamie! The lights at night were both practical and beautiful. It made the night feel like a "fairy land" as my daughter put it. It made it easy to locate the RV in the dark and trees / tables without needing a light. It was awesome! Thank you! We can't wait to plan another trip here!

We slept in Ryan's VW Camper which was very comfortable. I'd be happy camping out on his lawn without a tent as the weather gets better. Nice easy walk to Mokelumne Hill. I like hanging out in hotel bars in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada. Ryan's outdoor shower was good with plenty of hot water. Nice gas burners and fresh water from a sink. Too bad we didn't notice that Frank's Cafe is closed on Sunday. We waited until Sunday and blew it. The sound of traffic wasn't bothersome and his dogs are super friendly. Plenty of firewood. We brought our own cookware, but there was stuff there. I'd camp there again if I'm spending the night in Moke Hill.

We loved staying in the VW camper- it was very restful. Short walk to the town, and Ryan was very helpful. Bathroom and small kitchen were clean and functional. Had a blast having a campfire, something we never do anymore. Thanks again Ryan-I hope will be back. I recommend this hipcamp 100%!

Great private campsite, Jamie is awesome and responds very quick and is very accommodating to special requests. Took a boy scout troop there and had a great time canoeing, fishing, and even swimming. The RV is a nice extra, and is clean. Falling asleep to the sound of crickets and frogs was an added bonus. Well worth the effort to get there. This campsite was perfect for our troop adventure!
