Camp Sacramento
City of Sacramento Youth, Parks & Community Enrichment · Private
Camp Sacramento is a family camp and conference center run by the City of Sacramento in the Eldorado National Forest near Twin Bridges (about 89 miles from the city), operating since 1920. Families stay in rustic 1930s-era cabins and enjoy organized activities along the American River, with a dining hall, sports courts, arts and crafts, campfires and children's programming while parents relax. It runs three-night 'mini-vacations' and week-long sessions from spring through fall.

★★★★★Aubrey JaySo much fun! There us actives every day, and never time to be bored! Separated into age groups with activities for there fun!
★★★★★Alexander KwongThis was our first time at Camp Sacramento and we loved it. The staff was super friendly and helpful and the food was very good. They had archery, hiking, and tie dyeing for the kids to keep them entertained. And inside the lodge was a pool table, air hockey table, and a fooz ball table. There were also lots of books to read as well. Then right outside the lodge there are playgrounds, a basketball court, and a volleyball court to play at as well. The living quarters were pretty decent. Our cabin was a bit worn down where the windows did not close properly, but it was still pretty clean and comfy. There are a few communal bathrooms with showers and hot water, which was nice. A few of the living quarters also are adjacent to a nearby creek, which provides nice relaxing water sounds. All in all, if you are looking for a camping experience similar to Yosemite without the drive from Sacramento, then this is a great alternative. 😊
★★★★Aaron M MannCamp Sacramento is currently closed I do believe it will be open in the summer I work for an underground utility company we just put a new septic system in for the whole campgrounds the fire burned up the last one I stayed here for a week no one else is here but us I got to say it's pretty nice I think it's worth it the price it cost to stay here for a weekend it's really nice beautiful place it even snowed the other night the whole Mountain was covered in white so this summer look forward to seeing the newly opened Camp Sacramento.
★★★★★Emily MicaliI went to Camp Sac every year growing up, and now it's really fun to bring my kids here. it's a really great family vacation. It's not club med or a five star resort, but the staff is awesome, and there's good old fashioned fun:)
★★★★★Brian DavisGreat place for family fun and relaxation. Or you can exercise your tail off hiking and swimming. Very friendly staff and campers. Don't expect grand quarters or meals, but you won't go hungry. Bring lots of wine, beer and marshmallows.
