Sacramento River / Delta KOA

Our RV Club went back for this year’s holiday party and everything was CLEAN!
The Recreation Room was soooo much better! We were so impressed that we left them all of our ‘Sugar and Spice’ Christmas decorations (Hot Pink, Silver and Purple). We hope they enjoy all these decorations!
Kudos to the following for cleaning up this place so nicely!
* Kim, Manager
* Bob, Maintenance Person
* Jackie and Rob (new people that cleaned)
We were all very impressed with the transformation and cleanliness.
Below is what I wrote three months ago!
Thanks,
Free-Monteer’s RV Club

Reynolds Resort (RR) owns this KOA, and they have the KOA name to suck you into this campground. Don’t go there!
First off, they can’t keep good workers there for long. Secondly, the main management sits at a little table in front of the grocery store ALL day long. They need to get up and CLEAN and WORK.
=======The RECREATION ROOM=====
++ DIRTY, dirty mess.
++ Kitchen sink is filthy and soooo stained, needed replacing. We had to scrub and scrub to be able to use the sink.
++ Sofas are so stained and dirty. You simply ‘can NOT’ bring yourself to sit on these sofas. We had to cover the sofas with sheets, so our club members could sit down.
++ Need new tables and chairs badly! Not enough tables for a group.
++ Windows need a good scrubbing.
++ Floors are horrible looking. This whole room is just nasty, looks so tired and dirty.
The one thing they have going for this place is the huge, Mulberry trees, which make a great shade in hot summer.
Reynolds Resorts is a money-​making machine! They don’t put a dime into their properties. Their Motto: WHO CARESI
I seriously doubt KOA realizes how filthy and poorly run this facility has become!?!

This place has potential with any kinda of effort, otherwise it is a ROYAL dump, Garbage’s filled to the brim, bathroom not cleaned. Common room filthy and rundown. One big weed patch. the road there is one big pothole. The pool green and probably a hazard to pets. what a mess. Son and I stayed here one nite to try out our vintage Shasta… never again.

we stayed in the group area 9,10 and it is ideal for a group. there is an area of rv storage which has some broken down rv’s that look as though they have been there for years, but it’s storage. If someone is paying, nothing you can do. maybe consolidate the storage spaces at the end so they are not an eyesore? i went swimming in the pool. not a very large pool but ok to get out of the heat. there were leaves and some bugs in the pool, but i think the skimmer is broken so some of the skimmed items come back out with pool activity.
We were there for 6 days and had a VERY peaceful time there. relaxing. we don’t have a boat or go on the water, so we went to Isleton, Rio Vista, Galt fleamarket for day trips. the KOA has it’s own fishing area on the marina which is across the street. There are also 3 kayaks you can use. A general store is across the street so very convenient.
For a group it is ideal. A few neighbors left after our second day, and we spent most of the time alone in that area. we could play music loud, talk until late, without disturbing anyone. the only detriment is there is a creek along that side and there were a lot of little mosquitoes. TAKE BUG REPELLENT AND BUG CANDLES to ward off the bugs… The delta wind came down one night and it was real windy so you have to tie everything down, bring your awning in, etc… We used the bathrooms near the pool and they were very clean. the place needs some TLC in the rec room, but we don’t spend time in rec rooms, no big deal for us. The road in is a levee road, and is uneven in a lot of places. i would drive in during the day, not at night. no lights and the river is on one side… a missed turn and you are in the water. We drove down the road and had drinks at one of the restaurants down the road. nice view of the River and activity there. We will definitely come back again!!!

Friendly staff, fun place to take the kids!

So after going to this campground about four years ago. It was marginal then at best for a KOA then. We decided to try it again for the Fourth of July weekend. It is sad to say that it’s gotten worse. The bathrooms said they’d be cleaned daily I wanted to put a sign on that says every fourth Thursday. But the wife stop me. The gift shop/​store, I hope you brought everything is all I have to say. It’s sad that it’s hey day it was probably one of the best but now I wonder why it still is a KOA. if you have something with all the amenities by all means great place to stay and play around the area I don’t plan on doing anything there.

I made 4 nights reservation but due to them not having water at the campground (broken well pump), we checked out after the first night. When I asked, they agreed to refund our 1 night stay because of the no water issue. We couldn’t use the showers, laundry, etc.
The campground is run down. Not someplace I would stay again, and as an avid KOA lover, this place should not be a KOA campground. Permanent run down trailers with wheels falling off take a prime area. The roads are dirt so kids don’t bring scooters. The restrooms, although we didn’t use them are clean, but very old and not well maintained (broken doors, old and needing paint). The pool can fit about 6 people. 4 ft at the deepest. There was a deflated jump house sitting in a fenced in area. Our RV was in a spot backed up within 3 ft of a stagnant sludge filled creek area. There is a West Nile virus warning paper displayed at the front office.
Broke down camp and are on our way someplace else with our 4 grandchildren in tow. Not a happy camper.

Despite other bad reviews, this place is fine. Very relaxing. Not too crowded. Bathrooms were Very Clean & showers too. RV hook ups were great. The pool is small but nice. They even have a jumpie house for kids.
There is a dog park, ping pong, tennis, volleyball, air hockey. What else do you want? It is a bit rustic but so is everytjing in the Delta.
I totally endorse this place & will return.

A real disappointment, very unkept grounds and pool with filthy restrooms, really? and its a KOA! Cheap camping fees, good only if you plan to stay overnight because you need a quiet place to rest with little amenities. Plan to go back to staying at the Tower park KOA up the road a bit

Sacramento-​River Delta Koa is great. We had a really good time.
It is quiet spacious and very pretty. The grass must be a drought proof or evergreen grass as we are in the middle of a drought and the area of the campgound we are in is green everywhere. The restaurnt which is right next door is great. There are many places to walk and the water is right across the unbusy road. All of the utilities worked great. They are very dog freindly. The rates are fantastic… where else can you find full hook ups for $ 35.00 a night even on the weekends. The only thing I wish they had was cable hook ups. Looks like they did at one time as you can see the cable on some of the hook ups. Maybe they will get it back. I will definately come back and I recomend this place to all.

Im a teenager and if you just don’t trust anything i would have to say, stop reading but I’m telling nothing but the truth. Im writing this review while sitting on the dock at 8:52 on my last night here. Ive had a great time. Staff was friendly, the only downside is the noise at night but in my opinion it wasn’t that bad. I really enjoyed my time here, caught 90+ fish, striped bass, no joke, a great fishing place, you can fish right off of the dock. A little dirty but thats to be expected, pancakes were good, they tried to have fun activities, they were decent, something for the kids to do.

Stayed 3 times each times staff not pleasant they don’t clean grill each time we had to clean spider webs inside and out grill was dirty but we keep returning because fishing is convenient looking for another site for next year

I was a little apprehensive after reading the negative reviews, but we were pleased with our stay here. If you are looking for some kind of five star resort, what are you doing in the Delta??? Everything in the Delta is rundown… that’s the charm ;)
We were in the mood for camping over Memorial Day weekend but couldn’t find any available sites, so our cabin stay here was a nice step up for us. This particular KOA doesn’t have any tent camping or pets allowed, only RV camping and a small number of «cabins.» (The cabins are actually modular homes.) We stayed in number 16, which is at the very end right next to the levee road, so it was incredibly quiet and peaceful at night, with the sound of some nearby sheep baa-​ing away. The only downside is that this was the only cabin not heavily shaded by trees, so it got pretty toasty during the day, even with the AC running. The set up is very adequate, small but efficient. You get a living room with a futon facing a small television, small table with four chairs, a little kitchen with stove, oven, double sink, refrigerator and stocked with dishes for four, a small bathroom with a tub and bedroom with a queen bed. Outside there is a little deck with a barbecue. Everything was very clean! The sheets and towels were fresh and fluffy and the bathroom floor and sinks were all spotless, if not a little aged. The futon was pretty uncomfortable, but I think you could get away with letting the kids sleep on it. (There was absolutely no spider infestation in our unit like another reviewer reported, so hopefully that’s been taken care of.)
The site has a tennis court available and what looks like a portable mini golf set up. We also took a few dips in the pool, which is not large and only about four feet deep, but perfect for kids. We didn’t purchase the $ 8.95 Wi-​fi but didn’t have any trouble getting service for our phones. The site is right next to the water and just a few minutes away from some fun spots on W Brannan Island, like Pirate’s Lair and Moore’s Riverboat.
I never dealt with the staff but when we checked out we just cleaned up after ourselves and dropped the key off. We left a little after the 10am checkout and nobody ever hassled us. The whole experience was quiet and relaxing. I would go back.

Just what we needed! Was going to stay for a month, but instead was given the option to pay for 2weeks then. Saved us money to drive to our new jobs. Thank YOU KIM.

Old, dirty bathrooms, non-​existent garbage cans, no regular attendance in the front office.
Need I say more?
Only saving grace is a wonderful delta breeze to cool off the heat of the day.
That’s it, unfortunately. Won’t be back.

This is not a bad KOA. Clean, nice bathrooms and has a pool and tennis court. Staff is friendly.

My family has been trying out different koa campgrounds. My parents have a camper and we usually stay in the cabin.
I was very excited to try out this campground. They talked about the great cabin and right on the delta. When we got there we found out dog were not allowed in the cabin. I was thankful my parents were camping and my dog could stay with them. All other koa’s allow pets.
The cabin was infested with spiders and we were continually killing them. We have a newborn so that was concerning. At one point we looked under the bed and there were a bunch of dead spiders and other insects. We ended up sleeping in the living room. Unfortunately we will not be returning to this koa. It was very disappointing.:(

I think downtrodden might be the best word to describe this place. Maybe it was once a good place, and had frequent visitors. When we were there, it just seemed a decade past its day. On the plus side, they provide a stereo with a turn-​table. Unfortunately, it would only play 45s.

If you’re familiar with KOA Kampgrounds, they’re kind of kitschy and kampy. Pardon the overuse of «K’s,» but I’m afraid I’ve drank the Kool Aid. However, of the many KOA“s I’ve ever visited, this is the most un-​KOA-​like campground I’ve ever been to, not that there’s anything wrong with that.
I think it’s been about three years since this became a KOA branded campground and ever since I’ve been going there for the past eight or so years, not much has really changed during the transition. Only now, they have those ubiquitous yellow KOA signs all over the place.
The campground has full hook-​ups and the grounds on one side of the property is nicely kept, but the other half seems neglected. Maybe it’s because there are some full-​timers in that area or that there are so many trees in that section, the grass doesn’t seem to grow and most of it has declined into a dusty dirt lot.
The best thing about camping here is to experience life on the Delta, going with the flow of the river gliding by just about everywhere you go. There is an easy going tempo in these parts, and about the only thing in a hurry is the cool breeze that brushes your face on a hot summer day.
There isn’t a lot of nightlife or places to hang out, but if you visit for a day or two, there are enough spots to keep you occupied. There are bar & grill establishments (used loosely) here and there. The heartbeat of this whole region is Rio Vista, and if you go there, go to Foster’s (Google it). Just down the road is Isleton, a downtrodden hicksville that has seen better days in its past, but if the walls of shacks could talk?
So to camp at this KOA isn’t really about camping at the campground, it’s all about putting together little pieces here and there to create your own personal adventure, whether it’s boating, jet skiing, kayaking, fishing, biking, taking leisurely walks or checking out the nearby dives. It’s a part of California that is unique and one of a kind, the bayou of the West!
Perhaps, the best way to describe it is, its sum is greater than its parts.

Holy cow what a bunch of dicks… There one guy running around yelling at people driving due to the dirt… Well … This is a dirt road… Note… The racial slur was not needed. Don’t spend your money here. They have the worst costumer service. Also they have a open sewer that smells so bad. They allow loud and drunk individuals party all night. So disappointed. The cabins are dirty and they have a pool that is green. Also note to management… Buying a mini golf kit from Target does not constitute a mini golf course.

I’m not really the KOA-​type (I’m more inclined to make my own site in the national forest), so I didn’t have high hopes. But this was an overnight camping trial run on the motorcycles, and options were limited since we didn’t feel like just burning across the valley. The campground hosts were super-​friendly, and it had the amenities I’d expect at a KOA. Birds sang in the morning, gorgeous views of Diablo over the river, and of the rising sun over the fields inland. Ate dinner at the walking-​distance Spindrift. You could see highway 12 in the distance, but it was quiet.
