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 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. Here you will stay in 16ft deluxe tents with real furniture, cozy bedding, and all the amenities you need for a relaxing and fun filled stay. This setup includes 2 tents each with 2 full beds and amenities for up to 8 people. Close by the site are public restrooms with running water, drinking water, and showers. Hiking trails are found all around. Rent kayaks, visit the snack bar, or take a dip in the lake- whatever suits your needs can be found close by!

The setup was very comfortable and cute! We loved all of the thoughtful details. We brought our own propane cookstove and firewood, and they provided the rest! We camped with two little dogs and they were right at home too.

Convenient and restful
The tent was clean, the beds were comfy, the cooking area was nicely set up, the oak-pine foothills were full of woodpeckers, the lake was just cold enough to be refreshing on a hot September weekend, and we had a great time!

Camp site was set up and ready to go all you needed to bring was your food and a camp stove. Tents were awesome. Only complaint was the distance from the bathroom was a bit of a hike and the other glamping sites weren’t close by (where the rest of our party was but we made it work!) Otherwise 10/10!

Glamping with kiddos
We loved glamping at the Folsom site! The hosts made everything such a smooth and enjoyable glamping experience. Our hosts kept checking in on us during our stayed which we appreciated. Our daughters loved this glamping experience. Already planning on returning. Thanks so much to our hosts!

Got to love a little glamping
We have a wonderful time camping with Creative Excursions. The tent as large and lovely. Aside from food and clothes we didn’t need to bring much (though out mist fan was a life saver in the hot afternoon. It’s near the bathrooms and showers which were clean. There is a nearby road and other campsites but noise was not an issue. We are already planning to stay here again. Very much recommend!!!

glamping near the lake
Tents were setup nicely as promised with beds along with neatly arranged tables under a canopy. We also found many items for convenience like lights, board games, paper plates and cups, fire starting wood, lighter etc. Campground was well maintained and had very clean bathrooms and showers. Folsom Lake was very near to the campground and had options for swimming, kayaking etc with a restaurant and rental place.

Kid friendly fun yurt camping
Loved staying in the yurts! The beds were very comfortable and there was enough room in it for a pack in play. We ran out of paper plates, but after texting the host we had a new load within less than 15 min! There are camp chairs, and shade over picnic tables which was great. The cooking stuff they provide is minimal so plan accordingly. I would suggest they add coffee cups in there if possible. They have cute fairy lights in the tent and around the picnic area. You can make a fire. The water is super low, but our host suggested a drive to Nimbus Flats and it was perfect for swimming and paddle boarding with the kiddos. Would totally recommend!

Glamping for the Win!
We loved our stay at Camp Beal! It was so close to Folsom Lake and we enjoyed hanging out at the lake to cool down. We loved how convenient everything was. Our host prepared our tents with games, lanterns, a cooking pan, hand sanitizer, and so much more. There was a large garage can next to our site and a water spiket. The kids slept well in their beds, allowing the adults to hang out at the picnic table late into the night.

So easy to camp and enjoy no set up
This place was fantastic! They had everything set up for us! Even when we needed new batteries they came over to deliver in the AM while we were gone! Customer Service was amazing! I would highly recommend this place and company.

Amazing grounds and will do again
Absolutely wonderful stay. Everything you need and more. From the tent, the bed, to anything you need. Costs include the state park fee so you can go to many parks including the park to drive down to the lake. The only con is there is no parking right next to your space,, it’s across the small one way road, but it’s so close to the tent, it doesn’t matter. Would so definitely this again. In all my experiences of camping, this is the best!!

Glamping, Easy like Sunday morning
This place is magical and quaint. They put a lot of thought into what should be there and all the amenities that could make your stay easy from the electric fan and battery pack to all the cooking supplies and salt and pepper. They thought of everything. We loved it.

Awesome spot!
We had a wonderful stay! Practically everything you could need is provided, which is just the way I like to camp! We enjoyed the free-standing hammock and the fact that it didn’t tip over when our 3 year old laid on it. The beds were comfy and the tent is surprisingly spacious! Right now the lake is really low, so the walk down to the water was long, especially with two littles and all the gear, but still totally worth it. We had a blast!

We couldn’t have a better experience with stay at Glamping at Folsom Lake Site C! I stayed with a three other of my friends to celebrate their birthdays and we had such an AMAZING time hanging out at the campground and swimming on the lake. Our host, Brennan, went above and beyond to make it a unique and fun experience for our group. He was accommodating and provided us with... well, PRETTY MUCH EVERYTHING you would need camping/ glamping! You really don’t need to bring much but alcohol and drinks and we definitely overpacked! We had also added on a stargazing package and a small fee for the grill master package. We could really tell all the efforts and passion our host went into making it the perfect little getaway. Really looking forward to going back here for more glamping adventures!

Lovely campsite
We stayed here a couple weekends ago and had a great time! This campsite was great! Yes, the site was kinda close to the roads like another reviewer said but that didn’t bother us. Plus it was a lot closer to the bathrooms than the other sites. They provided a couple board games which was nice. The tent and campsite were clean and comfortable. I would definitely stay here again and recommend it to everyone!

Good experience. A bit noisy due to the campground being next to the San Juan Water District. Tent was spacious and clean. We used our own cooking utensils as the ones provided looked a bit dated.
