Spots in Mid Cal

map viewlist view

  • El Campo Casa
  • private business Jackson CA
  • quiet, faux Spanish style, very restful

  • Manzanita Campground
  • Bureau of Land Management (BLM), Tuttletown CA
  • One of three large campgrounds on the south side of New Melones Lake. I've also been to Big Oak on the northern side.

  • Silver Surf Motel
  • private business San Simeon CA
  • Convenient place to crash on a stretch of highway with not too many options. The first reasonably prices place you will find after failing to find a place in Big Sur. Close to Hearst Castle and the Sea Elephant Mating Ground!

  • Big Oak Campground
  • Bureau of Land Management (BLM), Angels Camp CA
  • One of two large campgrounds on the north side of New Melones Lake. This side of the lake is apparently the poor relation, because they've locked the bathrooms for the season. One must drive 20 minutes back to Tuttletown for the advertised shower facility.

  • Dos Reis Regional Campground
  • San Joaquin County Parks, Lathrop CA
  • A very handy, odd little campground. Two miles off of I-5, right up against the (quite tall) levee on the San Joaquin River. You can see and the interestate far off in the distance across the farmland.

  • Valley Inn
  • private business Fresno CA
  • boring but cheap
