This is a California State Park on the western edge of Colusa CA, on the Sacramento River, right where it takes a left turn.
Post COVID it is being managed by the City of Colusa rather than the state, and it has a much more mellow feel to it.
Anyway ... pre-COVID it wasn't inviting to me. Now it is. Go figure.
Bathroom has a key code, shower requires quarters. Over 65 gets $2 off.
We are right inside the levee, which is cool.
There is a really sketchy trailer park right on the other side of the levee, which is not cool.
ATT cellphone reception was good.
I've done drive-bys on this place for probably ten years and never stayed. Now I am!
Site 2 is quite nice. Close to the bathroom, nice grass, nice table.
I love the location. Walk as far as you want along the river in either direction.
Walk to the (NOT) bustling downtown of Colusa, and have a drink or get a meal. Unless is is Sunday night, when absolutely everything is closed. That's cool. It was a nice walk, and I've got stuff in the fridge that needs eatin', and I would probably get in trouble with the locals anyway.
