Lake Amador Resort

Since I am not able to respond to your reply Lee, I will need to post..I feel like you are trying to save face with your reply. You know very well what occurred because you were the one that put things in motion and did not care what we had to say. If you really want to rectify things, you can call us. Our number is on file with the camp. It's a shame that you try to seem like you care but you don't. Thanks for ruining our kids vacation

We have an RV up there long term and it is our home away from home. Look forward to going every weekend and eating in the clubhouse and visiting with the residents..Great camping spots for campers as well. The lake tends to get low as the summer moves along but after the rain it's full and beautiful, not to mention the great fishing!

"If you know anybody that hasn't found Jesus, go fish lake amador." Is what I tell my friends at work. I'm about to head up there now. This place is my trout fishing heaven. They stock more trout than Camanche and Pardee, but the lake is about 1/8 the size. The trout meat is oily and pink, delicious. They are so healthy and fight so hard. Everybody at the cafe has always been super nice to me. I thank my lord every time I see that rod tip moving. Now I'm all amped up to go fish. Let's go!

We had a wonderful time in spot 89.Checkin was easy. We ate breakfast at the Tackle Box Cafe and food was WONDERFUL.Our campsite was VERY QUIET.Restrooms were clean and so were the showers.We rented a boat and the staff was very helpful and even gave us a half day price because we brought it back early .We felt very secure with the security driving around hourly .Keep up the good work and Thankyou for a beautiful campground!

I still have questions about this lake. It can be a hit or miss. Im not just talking about fishing. We have been here about 5 times so far to camp and to go fishing. The first experience was good, and it made us want to come back. The staff was really nice the first time, and they even encourage you to drive around to find some good spots for your next visit. After our first stay, before we left, we decided to look around for a spot that is near the water because we love to just relax and go fishing. We ended up finding a spot at dry camp that was numbered 123. It was perfect! We took time looking for a spot like this because we have an infant, and we needed a good spot where we had easy access to the water and a bank to set up our playpen. It also had a trail with steps that led down to the lake. It was the very last spot on the corner, and there were no numbered sitrd after that one. We went up to the front before we left and reserved it for 2 nights for Thanksgiving weekend. When we showed up that weekend, we checked in, drove to the site, and noticed there's an RV in the site we reserved. When we pulled up, we noticed the facility ended up spray painting numbers on the sites with orange spray paint and added site 124, which was 123.We were so disappointed because we were really looking forward to fishing with our infant for the first time. We drove back to the office and asked for a refund because they were the ones that ended up switching the sites on us. There was not a site 124 when we were there the last time.They apologized and said that the owners will not budge at all on a refund. They only offered to let us drive around again to switch sites. We did drive around, but there was nothing available close to the water that had easy access. There were maybe 2 other campsites, but the access was too steep to take a chance with our infant.I asked again about a refund, and they still said no. We ended up having a terrible disappointing weekend and could not go fishing, which was our main reason for going. Then, I was a little upset after a few days of reading these reviews and seeing there were other people who were refunded for other issues.Because Lake amador is so close to us, we figured maybe that was just a fluke, and we'll try again. We have gone back a few other times, but overall, it has been okay. They have a live band on the second Saturday of the month. It's kind of nice to sit in the cafe with the locals and just relax. We have fished there about 4 different times and have not caught anything. But if you just like to go fishing, it's still nice to just sit back and relax.I think they do need to work on the customer service when it comes to situations like second stay. We only ended up staying that weekend because we didn't want to waste our money. It was not our fault that they decided to add in another campsite number after we already booked our site.

When I first called and made a reservation I was told the first car is free and the rest of the cars would cost 30 dollars a night. The prices on the website are completely different from that. I called a week before my trip to make sure everything was good. When I called they had me booked for the wrong days. The lady who answered was nice and helped me fix it no problem. When I actually got there the lady up front said each car including the first one would cost 40 a night. I asked about the free car and said no all cars will be charged. She gave me a receipt with a bunch of numbers scattered around it. Super confusing to understand. I didn't argue I just went to my campsite to start setting up. I went to the lake and shortly after being there a couple of my friends noticed that they had small leeches on their feet. It was really disgusting. They seem to hangout in the muddy shallow areas. So wear water shoes.

They wouldn't take our money for a boat rental because the lady working the tackle shop/restaurant was bsing about it being too late even though boats were still allowed out for 3-5 hours.

one starIf you like dust, noise, music, talking and yelling till 3 in the morning ... this is the place for you. They have strict written rules but they are not enforced. I had a campsite with electricity, but was not told that the electricity was shared with 3 other campsites so I could not run my air conditioner until I was at the site and the air conditioner would trip the circuit. It was 108 degrees!!!!The lake was beautiful the pond was crowded the bath rooms were horrible. If you like staying awake all night book your campsite now!!! I will not be using this campsite again!

We enjoy the tranquility of the area. Non commercial. Although the drive is only 50 minutes away, it feels remote.

Want to be Racially Profiled? Discrimanted? Degraded? Price Gauged? Lied too? And Evicted with No Refund?....... CAMP AT LAKE ALMADOR! June 27th-June 30th (Thursday- Sunday) we went on our annual family camping trip. We purchased 4+ camping spots (89, 90, 92, 93) around a cove at Lake Almador. Thursday we got there and was charged more ($300+) on top of our $600 already pre-paid for the four sites. When questioned it we were told call on Monday! Just a way to price gauge and get more money. They also had us pay for a fifth site ( Site 91) and then came over on Friday stating they over booked and we needed to move out of that site and we need to call on Monday for reimbursing - not we made a mistake let us correct it now. Friday we went to the Lounge for Ice. Where the Manager (Cherie) and employees were rude and seemed inconvenienced that they had to stop their conversations to assist us. Friday while the kids were playing in the cove other campers from other campsites (#91 and #104) began to walk through our campsites to get to the water. (We had security (DC is his name) even advise us to tell campers to walk to the water entrance (Between sites 89 & 90) and not through the sites) We ask them to please not walk through our camp and to walk to the water entrance which was one campsite over. Site 91 understood, Site 104 began to cuss at our families, called particular family members the N word, wanted to fight, flat out being belligerent and even pushed my cousin. 2 of the 3 people were DRUNK & underage the age of 21. We de-escalate the situation as fast as possible. We immediately went to the office/lounge to advise of what occurred. They said they would come and have security there in about an hour to an hour in a half. NO ONE EVER CAME! We even called 3 times. When the campers walked by the remainder of Friday and Saturday they would whistle, make comments, yell, just flat out letting us know they were walking by and trying to get us riled up. We ignored them! Saturday morning around 8am security patrol (DC) stopped by our sites and let us know that Friday night there was a noise complaint. We asked how when quiet time is 10pm and we were all in our trailers/tents around 10:30 and it was dead silent in all four of our sites. We let them know that the site right above us (91) however was playing music, night fishing & swimming in the cove, and being loud while drinking and walking through site 90. However we weren't going to file a noise complaint as it's camping and they are making memories. The sheriff even reported when they came by at 11:30 due to a noise complaint all lights were out and no one was around.... Ya we were SLEEPING! Less than an hour after the security patrol left he returns with two sheriffs. They proceeded to let us know we were being evicted due to noise. We of course asked how as we literally haven't been talk to one time since Thursday about a noise complaint till less than an hour ago and it wasn't even us. After about thirty minutes of discussing with the sheriffs and them looking at our tables and didnt see any signs of alcohol or the grounds being thrashed they stated they would call the owner (Sandy Lockhart) and talk to her and return. Not even twenty minutes later the two sheriffs return to state the manager said we had to leave. The sheriffs stated they understood and weren't saying they agreed with the manager and owner but since it is private property they have to enforce their request for us to leave. So we cleaned up and left. I personally went into the lounge with my cousin who is of color, and Cherie (Manager) spoke to me very differently than my cousin. When I went in after being evicted she was very sweet and understanding but when a person of color went into the office she was blunt and rude. After looking through reviews this appears to be a very common issue for the campsite. After we were on our way out I stopped by the office and spoke to CheriI let her know that the sites were cleared and that the situation was not handled properly that there was no prior noise warning and that the noise wasn't us. She flat out said I understand that other campers were in the cove and so the noise was pinned on you guys when it wasn't you. That we can call on Monday to discuss refunds and such. I was very polite when I spoke with her.It clearly was racial profiling and just wanted us out!
