Amazing lake with incredible clear blue water! Felt like we were in the Bahamas. Great for camping and has store for supplies in case you run out. Truly a hidden gem! read more

Rented an 8 person ski boat for a Sunday in the middle of Summer. The process was super simple, I called the day before our rental to ask a couple questions and the staff was super friendly and helpful. On the day of, the check in process was seamless. The lake is beautiful, the boat was wonderful, and we really couldn't have asked for a better experience. We will definitely be back to rent another boat! read more

Beautiful reservoir. Most of the shoreline is steep. Marina staff very helpful. Tons of wildlife in the area.

What a great place to boat with friends and just cruise on a warm summer day. With turquoise water, plenty of area to cover, and numerous coves to pull in to and cool off with a swim, it's no wonder why Bullard's Bar is a popular destination for boating. There's definitely more pontoon boats over wakeboarders and jet skis, but you'll still see the occasional wavesurfer. Houseboats can be rented here as well. The marina is small, and so is the boat launch with just a single dock, so be prepared for a wait at loading time. Also, it's a trek from the launch to the parking lot, so be prepared. Restrooms are at either end of the parking lot and there are a couple of floating ones at key places on the lake. There's not much in the way of beach, so if you're not on a boat this place isn't really for you. But if you're ready to cruise with a stocked cooler and some jams on your sound system, you're in for a chill day on the lake. read more

This boat rental company is located and is the marina in Emerald Lake. Friendly ladies helped us with boat info and contracts. The friendly and helpful men guided us away and back on our cool boat! Very professional outfit. Beautiful wooden furniture waiting area. Friendly owners dog. There is a well stocked provisions store. Beer, clothing, ice, drinks, ice cream and CARP FOOD! There is complimentary fish food for the big mouthed large dark gray carps that wait open mouthed for their treats. They hang around right outside the store, right outside in the water! Had an exhilarating time and marvelous experience. read more

Love the beautiful lake! Camp grounds are close to the water! We all enjoyed are weekend there ! Need to come again!

My in laws have a vacation home near by here. Threw the years we've rented small boats from emerald cove marina. Always a great and easy experience. Reservations and check in process all flow well. We rented a sweet water patio boat for Fathers Day 2021 and had a picture perfect day out on the water. Lance checked us in and out. Easy process, clear instructions and overall great customer service. read more

This boat cost $10,000.00 for the 7 days and nothing worked. We have rented this boat twice in the last 2 years. The AC never worked. It was terrible. The oven and the stove was so hot and stunk like gas. The boat is junk. I guess I will stay at the Four Seasons next year. read more

Its okay. dark day campground 2d Yes lots of mosquitos even saw a scorpion did not see bears but went on loud 4 th july weekend they probably stayed away bathrooms are porto potty type with deep vault toilets that smell like death beach access is small but there is one sandy beach to walk down to luckily we had a boat so made the weekend fun other then that it was ok if you have a boat its worth it I guess OH- the thing I hated about our double site is you cant park in your site. literally tent only blocked off by wooden planks you have to drag all your camping stuff down to the site so dont plan on bringing a camper or a truck tent other wise you will sleep in the parking lot like some of our group had to this is why I give 3 stars. if you can park in site would have given 5. read more

I don't enjoy the winding drive, but the minute I hit the water it's all worth it. The water is warm and it reflects every shade of green from the surrounding trees. I love it. I just went out for the first time this season, and the reservoir is high but be on the lookout for floating logs and tree limbs in the water. read more

Bullards Bar - Boat surfing the lake - Boating Near Me - Dobbins, California

If you like real camping.. this is the perfect place to start. I for one, love glamping so it was a bit much but it is a must do! This place looks like paradise, the water is beautiful and the scenery is breathtaking. We camped in Dark Day 1D-3D with a large group with kids. It's about 4 miles from the Emerald Cove. We arrived at 2pm and met Meghan and her awesome crew. They were so nice, informative and great with the kids. They definitely set the tone for the whole trip. We saw them daily, especially Meghan, who always was there to help with any questions and advice. Each site had 2 picnic table with benches (bring your own table clothes), 2 bear lockers and space for large tent (we have a 3 room tent that connects) Also one vault toilet and filtered water pump(no hose connection) for the whole site to share. The nearest shop/gas station is a bit away and expensive fyi. One really wise advice was really use the bear lockers. Leave no food out and always lock them up and take the keys out, the bears are smart. We left our coolers in the van. We did encounter the 3 hungry bears but no food was left out for them by us, they did rummage through the large garbage bin provided by the camp. Trash pick up is Monday, we arrived on Sunday so we were lucky to be able to have an empty bin for the week. Trust me, no hacksaw or knifes we had made me feel safe (I had anxiety every evening) but the bears did move on. All food and paper items were burned in our fire to minimize bear rummaging. It's not much of a hike down to the water per say but it is a dangerous 200-50 foot slope to get to the water, no matter what trail you take. So wear good shoes(I broke 2 rubber flip flops) down and bring water shoes for the sharp rocks. We back packed and brought our camping wagon to carry everything. It was pretty empty as far as people for us, we loved that. We popped up an easy tent and picnic tent, threw down blankets and put up camping chairs right up against the water. Btw, they have chopped up wood everywhere and we just picked it up when we walked and used it for our fire pits. We enjoyed the company, and the beauty ...we missed having a real toilet, electricity and a shower. We had no phone reception either, it was nice to unplug. The vault is kinda like a porta-potty but the crew keeps it clean daily. We did bring our own DIY (bucket, $1 store noodle, cat litter and trash bag) toilet for the night and quick pee. Nothing to wash up, so make your own washing station with water cooler, hand soap and paper towles(which you can burn up in your fire) Bring powder for around your tent for the monster ants, however, the indestructible flys, yellow jackets, spiders and mosquitoes... no bug spray, fly trap, yellow jacket bag, lavendar spray, or mosquito light gets rid of them but a netted tent around the picnic table helped. For some of the unlucky ones(almost half of us) ..Calamine lotion and sage water will be your best friend after day one. We carried a fly swatter to get'em if they made it in lol. We did find fat juicy ticks, but none on us.... So I guess they ate and moved on. As we packed up and was getting ready for our 2 pm check out, it was bittersweet but we were ready to get back to reality and of course, a shower. read more

Growing up I went camping multiple times a year. Now that I'm older I haven't had the carefree lifestyle that my grandparents apparently had to take so much time off to go off on adventures in the wilderness. Thankfully I have met an amazing man that loves to camp as much as I do. We had the opportunity to come with some friends who had a boat on the water and we just had to get our own camping spot. We brought our new to us pop up trailer and our four kids and plenty of food to cover a 4 day weekend. Our spot was called Schoolhouse 14d. It was right at the entrance of the campground. It had a spot to park our trailer and a pull through driveway. Some of my other family members came with us too. We had room for 3 more vehicles actually we could have fit 5 cars. The spot had plenty of room for tent camping too. The website really doesn't give how perfect this campsite was. Once we were there we thought it was a spectacular camping spot. The fire pit was awesome and comes with a grill grate that can be moved over the fire. We used it to cook so much stuff. Coffee, chicken wings, hot dogs and some other meat items. There's a hiking trail through the woods. Its very beautiful and I don't really know how long it is because we had 4 kids with us and only went so far. It was great to be in nature for the afternoon. There wasnt beach access from the campground. There was a part where you could get to the water but forget about swimming. The mud surrounding the water is like quicksand. My son lost a sandal and he had to wear my flip flops back to camp and I hiked barefoot through the woods. Not the best moment of the trip. We did drive to a local swim hole about 2 miles away. The host of the campground let us know about it and how to get there. That was so well worth it. So ask the host where it is because I can't tell you how to get there. The reservoir was beautiful. My favorite place on earth is Lake Powell on the border of Utah and Arizona. This lake came pretty damn close to that. There was a moment when I was sitting on the beach in the sun watching the water and I was completely happy. It was wonderful. Back to the campsite, there were no showers. We did have toilets and a spigot for running water. We brought our bikes for the kids and they were able to ride their bikes around the whole campground exploring. Bring 5 cans maybe more of bug repellent. The mosquitos were oppressive! They attacked you like we were in the amazon jungle at night. It was terrible. On our second to last night we were in the company of a bear. We were cooking dinner and I heard a noise out in the woods. I thought it maybe some deer wondering by. I stood up to look and see what it was and staring back at me a black bear. He turned around when he saw me and ran away. He wasn't very big but I'm sorry I don't care how big the bear is, I have 4 kids running around and I can't take any chances. This was probably one of the most scary moments that I've experienced in my life. I went and told the host and he said there had been a juvenile bear wandering around but he hadn't seen him in two weeks. He was back apparently, and scaring the crap out of me and my kids. We will be making this a regular camping destination for our family. It's not that far from the bay area. If you have a boat, bring it here and play. It's so worth getting the kids out to enjoy the wilderness. Bears and mosquitoes and all. read more

Houseboat and dock staff was efficient, professional and would go the extra mile. The lake is warm and clean

I stayed at School House campground (site 39D), this past weekend. The site is gorgeous, tons of trees and semi-private. We chose this campground because it had flush toilets. The bathrooms were pretty clean for the most part except there wasn't any soap, sure sure to bring your own. Also, for whatever reason the mosquitoes were going crazy this weekend. None of us have ever been camping with so many mosquitoes. Hourly doses of deet bug spray, a campfire, and tons of citronella candles wouldn't stop these bugs. All of us had a few dozen bites each. I'm not sure if the location had something to do with it but it might keep me from going back anytime soon. Just a note, there isn't really any spots to swim at the reservoir, its more of a boating spot. We had to travel about 20 mins out to Oregon Creek to find a spot to swim. read more

Camping is Crowded, Loud, Generators, Bears and Mosquitos. Their are many other places to camp in California that are still idyllic.

Most amazing lake around. Love this place. It sucks that it is far away from me, but worth the drive

Spiders, man. Lots of 'em. I'm not sure if it's just that we were there when all hell broke loose or if it's a usual thing, but the spiders were alive and kicking' and goddamn everywhere. We'd go to sleep at night having rid our cooler area of webs and colonies only to wake up the next morning with a friggin' Marine Corp level impenetrable canvas of webbing covering everything once again. The more high-maintenance folks in our group were shrieking (yeah, the dudes too). It was a nice menagerie of species too, all of them jumped, all of them looked menacing, but none were poisonous and no one in my party came home with bite marks. But still...spiders, man. Other than that, this watering hole is great! Warm water, generally calm, very picturesque, and seems to be a fabulous fishing spot. Get here early on the weekend if you want a place to camp that isn't on a 30+ degree slope. With the drought as bad as it is, the water line is down ....WAY down. Bring drinking water and umbrellas/shade tents, there's zero natural shade near the water. And binocs, Bald Eagles have taken up residence in the area..... so cool. read more

Our family loves Bullards Bar!!! Every summer we come up for boat in camping and never want to leave. The water is always clean and beautiful and it's always fun cruising around the lake to find a spot to camp. The lake has a nice atmosphere and is family friendly, which is great since our son is four. Whether we are just relaxing on shore or out on the boat exploring the lake, we are always having a great time! The marina is great too! They always have what we need, and the girls who work there are very friendly. Last summer we rented the MB sport and a pontoon for the weekend. After we had everything loaded up, someone came up to inform us that the pontoon had been double booked, instead of shorting us, the let us take out the party cruiser for the weekend instead and for the price of a pontoon. This party cruiser was amazing!!! It had a BBQ, toilet, stove and a patio on top!!! Bullards Bar has always treated us great! We leave with smiles on our faces and tons of great memories!!! Can't wait to see what summer of 2014 brings! read more

Went camping here over the weekend, had a pretty good time. The lake was very clear the water was awesome. Pretty steep hills leading to the water at most of the swimming ares and the beaches are mainly quartz and pretty rocky so wear your water shoes unless you dont mind cut up feet. keep in mind this is a boating campsite - so with that it's going to be a lot more noisy than regular campsites due to the mass amounts of bro-at parties going on. They do have sheriffs that patrol pretty regularly but one of them was kicking it for like 30 minutes partying with these loud obnoxious group of people who were yelling and running through peoples campsites till 3am so I don't think enforcement is that big. Not a calming place to stay...more like a drinking place to stay - so come with a party and bring your beer pong table. They have bear boxes and firepits... nice little spot. Kinda expensive - as camping sites go but not bad. read more

Loved this place! Not too far from Sacramento, but far enough to feel like we were nowhere near "home"! Campgrounds were clean & camping fee's were fair. The staff drove around the camping areas regularly and they were always polite and smiling! They were happy to answer any questions we had also! Bullards Bar is gorgeous! The dam is spectacular! The lake is beautiful and wonderful to swim in! This is my favorite place to camp! We all had a blast and will be back again soon! read more

The water was amazing. But camping at Dark Day Campground is like sleeping on a treadmill. All of the campsites are on a horrific hill. The maps make the sites look like there is a paved road through the campsites, this is WRONG. There are dirt trails. We could not even park our cars near our sites. We were in sites 5-9. It was a nightmare. A week later my entire legs are burning from the constant up/down hill battle. We had kids which made it that much harder to enjoy the trip. The mosquitoes are pretty brutal but bring good repellant. The women's bathrooms are disgusting. If I try Bullards Bar again it will never be at DARK DAY AGAIN. Please adventurer's beware. We were all disappointed with the campground. Again, the lake and the water was absolutely beautiful. read more

I'll still give this place 5 stars despite the water is receding, it's not the places fault. I was very glad we came here instead of the Delta for Fathers Day. This place is perfect in many ways. The mass of trees that encircle the water makes my solitude complete. The many many many places to fish, wide area to swirl the kids in tubes in circles, go water skiing, just chill in the corner & chill & do nothing, eat sammiches in the middle of the sea foam colored green transparent water, this place is wide & huge enough to do all of that. As Hubby says, in comparison to Collins Lake you for sure cannot see end to end. You won't bump into drunkards or ghetto unfabulous rap blastin folk while squeezing past boats..that is unless you purposely get that close. I have only been here once so perhaps my words may not be entirely correct, however Hubby has gone here multiple times & says he loves this place cuz he says it's this peaceful every time he has came. Can I get a Whoop whoop for a place that consistently offers peace?! And if you wanna make a baby, this place just may be perfect. Just sayin'. Especially at night. Think stars at as your only light & no one around. WOW. This is just random, but that dam whose top is a road is just amazing to me. It is like as tall as a sequoia tree or taller & maybe as wide as Godilla & his wife & kids standing side by side. It is that wide, & it is pretty stinkin amazeballs to see. I was thinking while we were fishing so close to it you can hit it with your lure, how in the world did they build this thing? I mean it is HUGE?! Like, how did they make it so smooth & so wide? As I naively imagine thousands of peoples little hands forming this monumental creation, as they smoothed out the wet cements sides from far east to far west meticulously. Little by little I presume, but it really is amazing to see a man made structure so behemothic & amazing. Maybe what I would feel seeing the Golden Gate up close & personal. Besides this, the general store, gasoline filler uppers, boat rental, floating toilys, boat docking rentals will bring you back to a semi civil feel. Store sells ice cream (a Dibs, 2 orange sherbet pops, a Magnum & Snickers ice cream cost $13 & some change), shirts, plastic pirate swords (so kids can fight off & raid opposing ships of course), snacks & random schnuff. Outside, at the adjacent 7 or 8 tent covered tables people or dogs can enjoy their grub & shade. You can pet the resident Labrador mixed dog, Rosie. She may chase your 2 year old if he/she is holding food though, but she appears harmless. Call her & she may come to you. Upon docking we seen 2 gas pumps, which kinda floored me cuz I was surprised this place seemed to have everything. A random dude heard me say to my 3 rambunctious littles, "Ooh look at the fish!" Literally, 30 huge carp or catfish near the docks, swarming in our direction. Obviously, they were pets or frequently fed, they were so fearless. Random dude told me about the coins inside that we get for free to use on the machine to get free fish food. That was super nice of him. Before we left I had to tinkle & the several floating bathrooms reminded me of Fantasy Island. It was clean & stocked & I was very glad it wasn't smelly like State Fair portopotties. These may have just been cleaned before I went in. The lady cashier & I exchanged casual convo. I wondered how stinkin far she had to drive to get to work today? No houses in sight on the way there. Did she live in a tree house? Or maybe a houseboat. Either way seemed like a fabulous way to live. Parking & unloading the boat was easy & non-rushed despite that the parking was full. I couldn't figure out who all the cars belonged to considering there were so many cars. But that's the nice thing about this Lake..it's so big you can't find anybody! Hubby loves this place to camp but I was like no way..not this city girl..no hook ups, u must be smokin crizzle. Maybe one day when I am an avid camper. I give it this though..for being out in the wilderness, it is clean! Especially that cool looking floating potty way out in the water. They also have 2 level houseboats for rent, circled floatation devices & other stuff. Definately would come again. Next time I would leave the kids at home. Kids & peace just aren't a suitable mix. The end. read more

We stayed at School House campground for 5 days/4 nights. The environment is gorgeous. The grounds we're clean and we'll maintained, bathrooms stocked with TP every morning. Even the bears love the campground lol! Every night we were visited by bears, and these giant scavangers are not afraid if people at all. They were never aggressive, but they came right up to our campsite while we were all sitting there less than 10 feet away. We tried to shout and scare them off, but they just looked at us. Other than stealing some marshmallows and two boxes of wine, they didn't cause too much trouble for us. The reservoir was beautiful, we rented a boat and jet skis at the marina and had a great time in the beautiful water. The Marina staff were all very nice. The rentals we're pretty beat up and dated though. One jet ski's seat was falling apart from age. We felt the deposit was excessive for the rentals too. It's not a great body of water for swimmers without a water craft though. It's a reservoir, so the "beaches" are steep hillsides that are difficult for families with young kids and older grandparents to climb up and down. The floor of the "lake" is covered in soot so once you get in the water it kicks up and makes the water cloudy and muddy. You get out, and realize your covered in dirt. For us, the down falls we're minimal and the perks far out weighed them. We had a fantastic camping trip and will very likely be back again. read more

Bullards Bar is a great spot for boating, rowing and swimming. Early in the season with the water high you are exposed to new channels and wildlife, and when temps warm and water lowers it is time to be pulled behind the boat or swim in the chilly but refreshing water. There are boats to rent, a slip to dock, a store open on the weekends and several docks to park at. read more

Houseboats and wakeboats this is the perfect lake to go to. Very quite and relaxing. I'm not sure the price, but thoroughly enjoyed the weekend that I spent on a friends boat up here. It was labor day weekend and yet was still not too busy. I was learning to wake surf for hte first time and had calm waters to learn on as there weren't too many boats creating waves. That being said it isn't completely abandoned, still people around. Make sure you stock up on supplies for hte weekend so you don't have to worry about trying to find stuff through the week. read more

Bullards Bar - Boating Near Me - Dobbins, California

Went on a group "Party Cruiser" trip with 10 friends staying out on Garden Point. The Lake: Beautiful, warm, you wont want to get out of it. Garden Point: We had a large group, with the water levels low it was a bit of a trek but not too bad. (about 50 yards from the boat and uphill) Great solitude and space, my only issue was the group site was tough to find since there is no map of the campground provided. The boat: Party Cruiser was awesome for 10 people, had everything we needed, we brought camping stoves and should have left them at home, 3 burner RV stove with a full size grill at the aft of the boat. Marina: Staff was very friendly and accommodating, helping load and unload and showing us about the boat was awesome. My only gripe was no map of the campground or where to beach the boat. Also we had to have the boat back by 8AM, I didn't set up or reservation but it would have been nice to take it back around 11 or 12 and not get charged another day. All in all a great place, we will be back mutiple times for sure! read more

This lake was absolutely gorgeous! It was so pretty all over. Water is warm and aqua color.my kids loves it.

Wow...what an amazing beautiful view this place. Everything about Bullards bar, makes it the best place to go around here, It beats Collins Lake 10 times. The best part? its FREE to take your boat out on the lake for a day. This lake is so big that even though you see alot of cars parked, it look to empty when you are out on the water. The lake is big enough that you can get lost if you don't give yourself some mile markers when you on the way to the dock. There are so many small coves and places to explore here. If you actually pay attention, there are also waterfall that you can see. You can anchor the boat, and hardly see any boats near you. The water is amazing, I just love to park the boat and jump in. They also have house boats that you can rent house. People usually come together and help rent out a party boat. If you love the lake, this is the place to go! read more

We stayed at the Schoolhouse Campgrounds for the weekend. Previous Yelpers were right about the place being for parties. Enjoyed my time with family however the mosquitos were awful. I think they were no-see-ums. You can look that one up! Everyone got bit up really bad, mosquito repellent or not. I have close to 100 bites on lower legs and arms that itch REALLY bad. Bathrooms were dirty and REALLY smelly; there was only running water in a few of them. With all the campgrounds around, we won't be going back to this one. read more

Stayed at Schoolhouse Campground the last couple days. Check-in is made short by paying ahead and printing your receipt...you can go straight to your campsite and attach the email to the site post. After reading the last review, I brought plenty of lavender and sage to burn, that and the bug spray kept the mosquitoes at bay. Didn't have any problems with bears. There is poison oak within the campground-- be careful taking shortcuts. State parks drivee through quite a bit and a sheriff came through a couple times. The other campers were respectful, I heard the odd loud laugh and a baby cry at night, but not much else. My sister "camps" in a 34 ft RV and, though her site had a 40 ft pad, low hanging tree branches blocked her RV from fitting. I had to give her my tucked away site that fit her RV and camp in the middle of the main loop-- not my cup of tea as a tent camper who prefers privacy. It's my only complaint and it could be much worse, but I'd be sure to check ahead if you're bringing an RV. The bathrooms are clean and well-placed, so most sites only have a short walk. Most of the sites aren't very private, but those back on the loop by site 21 are away from each other and the main loop of the campground. There is zero water access at Schoolhouse. There is a hiking trail to Dark Day campground, where there is water access. The website says the trail is 1 mile, but it's more like 2 miles and then a long steep incline down to the water. Overall, I think those who prefer flushing toilets and more active campgrounds would enjoy this place and it's short proximity to Bullards Bar. Those who like the no-host, less populated, maybe a vault toilet if you're lucky type of campgrounds...they might feel a bit crowded and controlled here. read more

My family and I stayed at the schoolhouse campground 6/18-6/20. We had reservations through the 21st but after two nights we had to leave. Upon arrival the first day the camp host told us to be mindful of our trash because they had seen a "little bear". I was there with my husband and 2 children as well as my best friend, her husband and their son. The first night 6/18 we encountered a large brown bear rooting through our site at around 12:30am. We were able to scare him off easily. The following night 6/19 at around the same time We were again visited by the bears. This time it was the little bear the host had mentioned. Cute little baby cub. The momma was also there. They were close. So close in fact that at one point I heard her breathing right next to me. These bears didn't scare near as easy as the one the night before, and continued to walk through our camp and around our tent for over an hour. We left at dawn the next day. It was an experience I will never forget and extremely scary. The area is beautiful but I Do Not recommend tent camping unless you want to chill with Yogi and his family. We were in site 24. read more
