Camping near Ripon, California
Ripon sits in California's Central Valley along Highway 99, roughly halfway between Stockton and Modesto and about a 90-minute drive from both the Bay Area and the Sierra foothills. The surrounding San Joaquin County area gives RV renters a practical mix of state-park camping along the Stanislaus and San Joaquin rivers plus full-hookup commercial parks built for highway travelers.
Caswell Memorial State Park, just south of town off Austin Road, preserves one of the few remaining stands of native riparian oak woodland in California's Central Valley, with 64 campsites set beneath towering valley oaks along the banks of the Stanislaus River. For full-hookup RV stays, French Camp RV Park sits just off Highway 99 in Manteca and serves both overnight travelers and extended visits, with sites that accommodate larger rigs on full hookups with 30-amp and 50-amp service. Turtle Beach RV Resort sits on the San Joaquin River and offers RV campsites and shady tent camping areas close to the water. Kit Fox RV Park LLP in Patterson and Riverpoint Landing Marina-Resort on the Stockton Deepwater Channel round out the nearby options.
Things to do near Ripon
River recreation drives most trips. Caswell Memorial State Park offers hiking, fishing, bird watching, swimming, and seasonal tubing from the campground to the day-use area, with wildlife viewing along the Stanislaus River, which supports endangered species such as the riparian brush rabbit and riparian woodrat. Anglers find bass, catfish, bluegill, and other warm-water species in the river. At Turtle Beach RV Resort, the boat launch and riverbank work well for anglers casting from the San Joaquin. From Riverpoint Landing Marina-Resort, campers see water skiers and ocean-going freighters traveling from the Port of Stockton, with Stockton's restaurant row close by. Day trips reach Yosemite, the Gold Country, and the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta within 60 to 90 minutes.

Seasonal info for Ripon camping
- spring
March - May
72° / 48°F 30 mmMild and comfortable; rivers run high from snowmelt
- summer
June - August
93° / 61°F 1 mmHot, dry, mosquito-heavy; riverside sites fill weeks out
- fall
September - November

December - February
57° / 41°F 88 mmWettest season; mild days, tule fog common at night and morning
The Central Valley has a Mediterranean climate, so timing matters. Winters are mild and rainy, summers are hot and sunny, and tule fog often forms at night and in the early morning during winter; summer brings strong diurnal swings, with cool nights and hot days.
Summer is the busiest season for river camping but also the hottest. Daytime highs typically run in the 90s, and stretches above 100 from June through September are common. Mosquitoes become particularly active during summer months due to the river and dense vegetation, so insect repellent is essential. Riverside sites at Caswell Memorial State Park and Turtle Beach RV Resort book up first.
Fall is the most comfortable window. September through October typically delivers warm days, cool nights, fewer crowds, and stable river levels. Spring offers wildflowers and mild days but also the tail end of the wet season. Winter remains mild, though Caswell sees little activity in the cold months and tule fog can sharply reduce highway visibility on Highway 99.

This was our second time renting from Patrick and his family. He is excellent at communicating with you and everything was a smooth process. The RV is clean, cute, and cozy and has everything you need to have a perfect trip. We had an amazing trip with lots of memories and will definitely rent from them again for our next RV adventure.
Lindsey B. - Sep 2026
Couldn’t have asked for a better host! This was my family’s first time in a camper trailer and Patrick was able to answer all of my questions patiently. He delivered the camper right at check in and had the AC running for us which made for a very welcoming introduction to Jellystone park. I highly recommend Patrick for anyone wanting a clean and cozy rv!

How to book campgrounds near Ripon
Booking systems split along ownership lines. For Caswell Memorial State Park, reservations are available through ReserveCalifornia up to six months in advance on a rolling daily window, with the entrance at 28000 South Austin Road off Highway 99. Summer weekends fill quickly, so set a reminder for the six-month rolling window, which opens new dates each morning at 8 a.m. Pacific, and check ReserveCalifornia for cancellations near a target date.
The commercial parks book directly. French Camp RV Park, Kit Fox RV Park LLP, and Riverpoint Landing Marina-Resort all accept phone and online reservations through their own websites. Turtle Beach RV Resort operates as a Thousand Trails property, so it is bookable through the Thousand Trails system with member and non-member rates.
What to expect on-site
Expect a clear split between rustic river camping and full-service highway parks. At Caswell Memorial State Park, RVs and tents are permitted but no hookups are available, and the campground is designed for tent camping and smaller RVs, with a maximum length of 24 feet for motorhomes and 21 feet for trailers; facilities include restrooms with flush toilets, hot showers, and drinking water. Larger Class A or fifth-wheel rigs will not fit, so choose a smaller RV for Caswell or book a commercial park.
French Camp RV Park's sites accommodate larger rigs with 30-amp and 50-amp full hookups, plus restrooms and showers, laundry, WiFi, and a pool. Kit Fox RV Park LLP offers full-hookup sites with cable, WiFi, a playground, and clubhouses for group use. Riverpoint Landing Marina-Resort's waterfront sites are popular but limited in number, so book early for summer weekends.

Frequently asked questions about campgrounds near Ripon, CA
How much does it cost to rent an RV in Ripon, CA, and are there ways to save on your trip?
RV rental in Ripon is affordable when you plan ahead. Travel trailers and campervans typically start around $95 to $140 per night, while motorhome rentals in Ripon average $170 to $260 per night depending on size, age, and season. To save, book midweek or in the fall and winter shoulder seasons when demand drops. Sort by price on RVezy for a cheap RV rental in Ripon, and consider pickup over delivery to lower costs. Local tip: visiting during the Ripon Almond Blossom Festival in late February pairs off-season pricing with a fun community event.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Ripon%2C%20CaliforniaWhat license do I need and how old do I have to be to rent an RV in Ripon, CA?
You only need a valid regular driver's license to rent an RV in Ripon. California does not require a special license for standard RVs under 40 feet. On RVezy, approved drivers are generally 25 or older, and ID verification is completed before your trip begins. International guests are welcome and should bring their home country license along with an International Driving Permit when applicable. That is all it takes to start planning your Ripon RV trip.

The full policy, including timelines and refund tiers, is shown during checkout and in your booking confirmation. You can manage your Ripon RV rental directly from your RVezy dashboard, and the support team can help if your plans shift unexpectedly.

For a round trip from Ripon to Yosemite Valley (about 220 miles), plan for roughly $70 to $110 in fuel based on current California gas prices. Stations along Highway 99 in Ripon, Manteca, and Modesto are typically cheaper than those closer to the parks.

State park reservations open up to six months ahead through ReserveCalifornia, and San Joaquin County regional parks can be booked through the county parks site. Private RV parks often have more last-minute availability, and spring and fall shoulder seasons offer the most flexibility for spontaneous trips.
reservecalifornia.com/What is driving an RV like around Ripon, are there any local tips?
Driving an RV around Ripon is beginner-friendly thanks to flat terrain, wide roads, and generally light traffic. Highway 99 and Highway 120 are the main routes for getting in and out of town, with clear signage and large shoulders. Watch for slow agricultural equipment on rural roads during harvest season and check Caltrans QuickMap for any low-clearance or construction alerts before you head out. Early morning starts help you beat both summer heat and Bay Area commute traffic if you are heading west.
quickmap.dot.ca.gov/What kind of hookups or amenities can I expect at campgrounds near Ripon?
