This jumping-off point for NorCal adventure offers options to RVers.
Situated near Folsom Lake and just under two hours’ drive west of Lake Tahoe, Lincoln makes for a solid basecamp for RV campers who want to avoid the crowds of these areas. Camping in an RV or campervan is popular in the area thanks to Lincoln’s proximity to Northern California hot spots like Auburn State Recreation Area, the American River (known for its rafting), and Eldorado National Forest. Campers can look out for lake and riverside RV campsites, as well as pull-through sites on area farms and ranches. Mountain and forest retreats are also within reach, as Lake Tahoe is one of the most visited destinations in the region. Most RV sites come with basic amenities like potable water, bathrooms, and shower access, while others are more off-grid RV stays for complete serenity. Those looking for electric and water hookups, barbecue grills, and dump stations will also be able to find Lincoln RV parks that fit the bill.
