Campgrounds near El Dorado Hills
El Dorado Hills sits in the Sierra foothills of California, between Sacramento and the Highway 50 corridor leading to South Lake Tahoe. The town is bordered to the north by Folsom Lake, a large reservoir that anchors most camping in the area. Two state-park campgrounds on the lake, Peninsula and Beals Point, are part of Folsom Lake State Recreation Area and serve as the main public options for RV travelers staying close to El Dorado Hills.
Beals Point sits just north of Folsom Dam, with developed sites including a full-hookup RV loop. Peninsula is on the lake's north arm and is more remote, with seasonal access. Closer to town, Ascension Ranch offers private RV-style stays in the El Dorado Hills area. Further east toward gold country, Placerville RV Resort & Campground provides a full-hookup base near Highway 50. Loomis RV Park lies west of the lake near Interstate 80, useful for travelers approaching from the Bay Area.
Things to do near El Dorado Hills
Folsom Lake drives most outdoor activity in the area. The lake and recreation area offer hiking, biking, picnicking, horseback riding, water skiing, boating, and fishing for trout, catfish, bass, perch, and kokanee. Beals Point has a wide beach used for swimming and paddling on hot afternoons. Cyclists can ride the paved trail that connects Folsom Lake with Sacramento County parks before reaching Old Sacramento. Boat launch ramps are spread around the lake, with rentals and slips at Folsom Lake Marina. East of El Dorado Hills, Highway 50 climbs into the Sierra toward Apple Hill orchards, Placerville's historic main street, and the South Fork American River for whitewater rafting. Old Sacramento and the state capital are roughly a half-hour drive west.

El Dorado Hills follows a Mediterranean climate, with hot summers and cool, wet winters. Summer is the busiest camping season at Folsom Lake. Daytime highs frequently reach the mid-30s Celsius, and shoreline campsites with shade fill quickly on weekends. Water levels are typically highest in late spring and recede through summer and fall as the reservoir is drawn down for water supply and downstream flows.
Spring brings green foothills, wildflowers, and comfortable hiking weather, with occasional rain. Fall offers warm days, cool nights, and lighter crowds, making it a strong window for RV travel. Winter is the wet season, with most rainfall arriving between November and March. Beals Point is open year round and subject to reservations, while Peninsula is a remote campground which can be subject to winter and/or road closures, with reservations made only during the on-season and first-come, first-served availability in the off-season. Wildfire season in the surrounding foothills generally peaks from mid-summer into early fall, and fire restrictions can affect campfires.

This is our first family trip in an RV. It was a long trip but we all had a great time along the way. The RV was very clean and spacious. It was perfect for our family. Renting through RVezy was very easy and Margo and her husband just made it so much easier for us. They were friendly and very attentive. We've texted along the way with questions we had and they were answered so quickly. Thank you so much for making our first trip extra special.

Booking and reservations for El Dorado Hills campgrounds
Reservations for Beals Point Campground can be made through the California State Parks reservation system, ReserveCalifornia, with inventory becoming available each day at 8 a.m. PST. The public can reserve campsites and lodging six months in advance from the current date on a rolling window. Peninsula uses the same ReserveCalifornia system during its on-season; outside that window, sites are first-come, first-served when the road is open. Summer weekends and holidays at Folsom Lake fill early, so booking as soon as the six-month window opens is recommended for hookup sites at Beals Point. Private parks in the area, including Ascension Ranch, Placerville RV Resort & Campground, and Loomis RV Park, take reservations directly through their own websites or by phone, and they often have shorter lead times than the state park system.
What to expect at El Dorado Hills campgrounds
Sites at Beals Point accommodate a mix of tents, trailers, and motor homes. Beals Point has 69 family campsites that will accommodate tents, trailers and motor homes up to 31 feet long, full hookups are provided in the RV loop of the campground (sites 50-69), and a sanitation dump station is available. All campsites have fire rings and picnic tables, shade is limited at some sites, and restrooms have flush toilets with showers available. Cell coverage is generally reliable near Beals Point and weaker at Peninsula. Summer days are dry and hot, and oak woodlands provide some cover. Pets are allowed on leash. Private parks in El Dorado Hills, Placerville, and Loomis tend to offer full hookups, Wi-Fi, and laundry, with closer spacing between sites than the state-park loops.
