GenieSummary
. New Melones Lake Recreation Area is a great spot for a peaceful and socially distant getaway. With the lake at a low level, the campground is not crowded at all. The roads are in good condition and the facilities, including toilets and showers, are clean and well-maintained. The trees around the campground make it difficult to see the lake, but the stars at night and the excursions to other local wonders make up for it. Unfortunately, some sites have been left with garbage, so be sure to clean up before settling in. Portable toilets have been set up in front of the restroom areas, and the rangers drive by only occasionally. Many sites do not have shade or places to set up hammocks, so plan accordingly. There is no firewood for sale onsite, but Walmart is not far away. The campsites are small and close to your neighbor, but there are not many bugs. The lake is great for swimming, but the water dries up during the summer. There are no electrical hookups, but some sites have them every few feet. Overall, New Melones Lake Recreation Area is a great spot for a weekend getaway.
