First time at this park and didn't know about the heavily sloped sites. I was curious as to why they don't park rigs first in the flat area, or at least offer it. It was never mentioned to me. Aside from the slope, I found the RV park to be quite suitable. I liked that it was beside the river park, and I was able to go for an enjoyable bike ride for a whole afternoon, and still not see half of the park. I would return to this park, but I would ask for the flat area. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We have stayed at this park many times when visiting family in the area. It's only a parking lot, but the sites in the gravel section are level, the utilities excellent, and the location convenient. Many sites in the paved section are quite sloped and quite a few there have the sewer connection at the very rear of the site, at the uphill end of the site. The laundry only has three washers and four dryers, and no place to fold clothes, so I always use a laundromat a few blocks away. Most of the sites are pull-throughs, and any size rig can easily fit. The staff are always pleasant. Be sure to call for reservations if there is a chance that there is an event going on at Cal Expo (the state fairgrounds). They will leave directions to your site on the bulletin board if you arrive after they close up at 5:00. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This park has two sections: a large paved lot with a mix of 30 amp and 50 amp full-service sites, and a large gravel lot closer to the fairgrounds and stables, also with full-service sites. Site spacing is very tight (difficult to deploy slide-outs and have room for the toad parked next to the rig). In the paved lot, most sites are sloped enough so that leveling could be an issue. Mostly satellite-friendly. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is an older park, but it is being maintained adequately. The campground host was very helpful. There is some disparity between the name in TrailerLife directory and the campground's website versus the park signage you actually will see when you drive up. Either it is *becoming* "Sacramento Shade RV Park", or it *used to be* called that, but as of today's date (4/2008) it is "Oak Haven RV Park". Although the park is close by the highway, the park is actually pretty quiet. VERY convenient access to downtown Sacramento, Old Town, and Arden Mall. This park seems oriented more to full-time residents than transient RV'ers. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Nice, clean, back-in RV park located near the Capitol and Old Sacramento. Lots of shade and a nice pool which is really needed during Sacramento summers. Nice people. We only stayed one night as we were travelling northbound. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This was our first time at a KOA. The campground was clean, well maintained, plenty of friendly staff and lots of kids activities as well as a huge field to let the dogs run. Sacramento just happens to be hot hot hot in August, thank Dog for the clean pool. The only thing I would recommend is maybe a sign at check in advising to use mozzy repellent at dusk. We got eaten alive and I met another family that had the same problem . We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Nice place, kids enjoyed the pool very much. People were very friendly. Would stay here again. We stayed at four "KOA's" in two week and noticed the same thing with each one. At night you need lights to find your numbered space. I noticed there were solar lights but they were not working? We camped here in a Motorhome.

The positives: The store was really nice. The people who worked there were really nice, and seemed to be working hard to plant more flowers and fix up the place. We actually elected to leave sooner than our reservation and they very politely refunded my money. The negatives: Unlike many KOAs, this was not really a family friend place. It is a giant, gravel parking lot with no trees or bushes between sites. There is just a picnic table and hook-ups between each site. There are no fire pits, nothing that would suggest camping. The pool is very small and was closed for repairs when we arrived (in mid July). It is very close to the interstate. Usually KOAs are nice places to take families with small children, this place is simply a place to hook-up while you are staying in the Sacramento area. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We stayed here twice, once on the way to and once on the way back during our trip, as an overnight place. The north/lower side of the site is excellent, RIGHT up against the water, lots of huge trees and shade. You are parking on grass. This side has water/electric only. The south or upper side of the park where the full hookups are is not so great - spaces are super close together, trees block the view of the water, and at the far end there's one or two fairly seedy permanent tenants with a dog. It's also hard to get in and out of the spaces at the very south end as it gets narrow. The dump site frequently has a sprinkler running near it, soaking your car and RV, and the questionable full timers are near it. I would skip it and dump elsewhere. If you just need an overnight without full hookups or have something big enough to go without dumping for a weekend, this is a great place as it cools down more in the evening than elsewhere in Sac due to the proximity of the water. Just watch out for Mosquitos at dusk. The spaces at the very north end are very private and surrounded by trees. The people in the office are friendly and cordial. I was able to receive good WiFi from my trailer a few hundred feet from the office. The park is very quiet at night, no road noise as it is well off the highway on a river frontage road. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

I would give this park a 0, be sure to ask about their dog rules. When we were there they had Pit Bulls on the site and these dogs attacked a black lab and bit it's owner and the lab's owner. We left immediately and for this reason we would not camp there again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Excellent campground on the Sacramento River. Close to all Old Sacramento. Sites are all grass and large. Bring your own water if possible as its well water and has a strong smell of sulfer. (perfectly okay but it stinks) Owner and staff are very friendly and leave you alone. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

It was a pleasant surprise to find a park where we had adequate room to back into a space without fear of hitting anything. All hookups were in good condition. The Wi-Fi worked great. Spaces are rock with a concrete patio with table. It would be a little dusty for long term stays. Shade is only on long term sites. The people here were very nice. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Rough part of town, farming day labor pick up right outside gate, restrooms hot, office staff not friendly, good paved roads but sites narrow and "pull throughs" should really be "back ins." Sacto doesn't have many choices, kinda wierd. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Only reason to stay here is that you need to be close in to Sacramento. It's a pretty good location to get to the state capital and other area attractions... But it is acutally an old, small mobile home park half of which has been converted to RV sites. It is located in a pretty tough part of town and you're glad for the coded security gate. There are a lot of long-term RVers in the back-in sites. The pull-through sites are so close together slide-outs almost touch & awnings are out of the question. Must disconnect toad before trying to jockey anything 29 ft or longer into or out of the so-called "pull-through sites." One guy's toad which was parked in front of his MH got creased by the swinging rear corner of a MH making the very tight turn necessary to pull out. Restrooms & showers were old & rickety but were kept clean. Managers were not rude but quite stern. Made us feel like interlopers. Actually wrote on our receipt "we prefer not to have to remind anyone of the rules!" Believe it or not we've stayed there twice! Won't go back. We camped here in a Motorhome.
