Lake Solano County Park Campground

I have stayed here many times. It is my go-to for nearby camping. The staff is great. On weekdays you can often have the place to yourself. Gets busy on the weekends. A state park feel.

Data is limited but not impossible. I work remotely and can pull it off with a good cell setup. Sites 50-61 have data. I stay in sites 24 and 26 where I can get data with a tall antenna.

This park has some beautiful spots with hookups, many are under great shade trees and some by the water. Avoid spot 61, right by exit, no shade and view out our back window was of camp host container-work yard. Very warm at the time we were there (beginning June) but cooled off nicely at night. Decent amount of distance between sites (some, not all). Sites might not be level so be prepared. Water and electric only. 3 camp hosts on site. Gates close at 9pm. Several peacocks roam the property so if their noise disturbs you, camp somewhere else.

With our senior discount, dog fee, and registration fee, no hookups, we paid $24. Hook-up sites are available. Some sites, right on the lake are an additional $10 premium fee. With our T-mobile coverage, we had no cell at all. However, with our booster we could use cell and set up a hot spot; service was slow but adequate.

The county park is divided in half; one side is the campground, the other side is a very nice day use area. I've been to the day use area many times. Great for kayaking, hiking, nature study, picnicking. There is a nature center on the campground side, though I've never been in it.

At the campground, there was a fair amount of street noise (Hwy 128) but in the evening it really quieted down.There was poison oak on some of the hiking paths; our campsite did not have any.

Campground was very clean; hosts were available and pleasant.

This was our first time to camp here. We wanted a quick getaway; we live only 1/2 hour away. I don't think we'll be back for a short trip but the campground should be fine for overnighters or kayaks. That said, I do have a friend who loves this campground and comes as often as she can.

$21 w/senior discount for hookups and one dog.
Beautiful spot on Putah Creek with lots of trees, a shoreline trail, paved RV site pads with electric and water, dump stations. There are plenty of dry camping sites as well but no generators are allowed. It was winter so my one solar panel wasn’t going to be enough and I opted to plug in. Non-utility sites are $13 for seniors. Dogs are only $1. Forgot to get the non-senior prices. Camp hosts Bill and Libby were very friendly and helpful. It is just a few miles to the town of Winters.

The day use area is right next next to the campground. It has a non-motorized boat launch, many picnic areas and an aerated pond that, at some point, was used for fishing by kids and folks in wheelchairs (might still be during warmer seasons.) There is an area specifically for wading on the creek.There is also a playground there and bathrooms.

I got to see many types of waterfowl and songbirds, a real highlight for me (see below.) Also got a 3:00 a.m. serenade from the coyotes. There is a bit of road noise from across the creek but there are so many positives for this place I would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Birds:
Belted Kingfisher, Black Phoebe, Great Blue Heron, Great Egret, Snowy Egret, Common Goldeneye, Bufflehead, Hooded Merganser, Mallard, Acorn Woodpecker, Oak Titmouse, Golden Crowned Sparrow, California Scrub Jay, Red Tailed Hawk.

Our host was really nice, Gilbert. He gave me a good luck peacock feather. Peacocks are everywhere on the campground. The city near by was great with some awesome food options. We went to Chuey's Tacos. The campground had a great lake, a small trail. The park is super huge! Lots of shade. Like 100 spots to choose from. Full hookups! Camp fire rings were clean. 20 for all hook ups plus 10 for a vehicle and then extra for the dog. But overall really great! but in a dead zone for internet...

Love the upper spaces, fully shaded. Water & elect to all spaces with atleast 2 dump sites. Asphalt pads. Rangers, staff, & host have been very helpful and gracious. Front Gate closes at 9pm and opens after 7am.

Smoke Free Solano County Parks Smoking or use of e-cigarettes is not permitted inside or on the grounds of any Solano County park.

Watchout for the wondering peacocks!

Only downside is you can only stay 14 days between this and its sister park in rio vista (Sandy Beach), then you have to be gone for 30 days to reset. Verizon was touch and go inside rig. Outside it was a solid one bar.
