Nice campground. It was March, so it was green and too cold at night, so no mosquitoes. There is some traffic noise from across the creek, but I didnt find it bothersome. (Hwy128?) I was in site 27 which was longer than it looked on the map or in the photos. I could see the creek from there. I'm not sure there is a bad site there...some had more shade, depends what you like. There are levels...I don't think you can see the water from the upper campsites, but more sun and partially sunny sites up there When alerted to a broken and stuck branch that could have been a problem, the rangers had it taken care of within half an hour or so. Staff was friendly and drove through regularly. The peacocks were fun... fearless, too, so we got a good look at those gorgeous birds. Quail, woodpeckers, a variety of birds. A great place for naps. read more

We had a work event at the park and the Lake Solano County Park staff were incredibly supporting and organized. They helped us with getting about 40 people into boats and on the water in a super efficient way and were so helpful in making sure everyone was safe and comfortable. We also used the nature center and everyone was so helpful and accommodating. Very fun spot to hang out! read more

Disappointed. I recommend trying a different campground. Stayed mid June 2026. Construction was occurring. Water was out intermittently. After paying full hookup fees you have to pay an additional fee for their dump station use. ​ read more

Beautiful park. Clean sites, (except for campers next to us, oblivious to all their trash blowing from their site). Nice staff. read more

We stopped to eat a sandwich and stretch our legs on a road trip. It was a great stop. The bathrooms were clean, the water was lovely to watch and listen to during lunch. A pretty cool kid area. There is a small boat ramp and a campground right here. Hands down the best part of this park are the peacocks!! Peacocks everywhere! read more

Great location for group day picnics. Our church has used the grounds many times. Pad C is very accessible.

This place sucks balls! They have a curfew at 9:00pm so if you need something at the store, you are screwed, you got to spend the night outside. Then the workers are so rude, answering questions very sarcastic with no care. Bathrooms are ok, dirty but at least there's a toilet. Also in the morning i saw the ranger flirting with a 12 year old girl. Im not even kidding!!!!! read more

THIS CAMPGROUND IS NOT SAFE FOR QTBIPOC. We were constantly harassed by the sheriff, rangers and campground host during our stay. Sheriffs claimed the campground host had received complaints from neighbors and that we had too many cars as an excuse to constantly surveil us. Not once did the campground host tell us themselves that there was a problem, they went straight to calling the sheriff or rangers. We received reminders from the sheriff about quiet hours even tho neighboring sites played music well into the night and we were just sitting around the camp fire talking. On top of that this campground has nowhere to swim and they claim you can but the water is super still, green and gross. Not ideal in 90+ degree weather. Please don't bother with this place and steer clear!!! read more

Racist! Discrimanatory,Harassed, Overcharged, and Covered in Ticks Visited: June 28th Imagine trying to relax during a brutal heat wave -- only to end up on an uneven, tick-infested patch of dirt that somehow qualifies as a "campground." That was our experience last week, and it was beyond disappointing. The red flags started early. While the staff were polite enough, that's where the positives ended. There's no longer any overflow parking, so we were told we had two options: pay an extra $50 just to park an extra vehicle, or risk parking in town and getting towed. That was literally the staff's suggestion. Not exactly guest-friendly. But the worst part? We were harassed by park rangers and sheriff's vehicles every single day, and every few hours. On the first day we were met by 3 sheriffs and one plain clothes officer. They kept showing up at our site, circling us, watching us closely, and creating an atmosphere of intimidation and unease. It was intrusive, excessive, and honestly felt hostile. The land itself was poorly maintained and full of hazards. The ground was jagged and uneven, shade was minimal, and ticks were literally falling from the trees. If you're bringing dogs or kids -- beware. This place felt more like a health hazard than a retreat. If you're hoping for a peaceful escape into nature, this is not the place. Unless your idea of fun is paying extra to park, dodging parasites, sleeping on uneven  dirt, and being harassed by law enforcement for no clear reason, look elsewhere. And if you're a person of color, beware -- the undertones of racism weren't subtle. read more

Went back again, got a spot higher and away from the lake, in the middle of the week. No noise this time from the road. Very nice. My only complaint would be, is that they charge $15.00 for dump fees in addition to the campsite fee. Most places the dump fee would be included. read more

I have NO complaints, and many compliments to the Staff, the clean bathrooms and showers, the great security measures, and the beautiful, well groomed, but still abundantly natural campground! The campgrounds are spaciously positioned beneath such a great variety of trees along Putah Creek with bathrooms/showers near each grouping. The PEACOCKS are stunning, and it's so great to watch the quail, chipmunks, squirrels, lizards, bluejays, geese and other critters thriving around the grounds, and popping out the trees and shrubbery. Such a peaceful, clean and very well secured campground just below Lake Berryessa that runs along Putah Creek with Paddle Boats & Canoe rentals, Fishing in Putah Creek, or taking the kiddos to the playground across the street as options. I just stayed 3 days, came home and booked another 3 day stay for September! A special SHOUT OUT to all of the STAFF! Very friendly, very ATTENTIVE and they maintain the grounds & restrooms/showers and keep it all "Very Clean". read more

I had no idea this place existed until I finally went. It's so close to home since it's only 15 minutes away from me. They have a Campground on one side and across is the Day Use area. The area is so peaceful and grounding. Lots of beautiful peacocks roaming the lake the area. Tons of duck families near the Lake. You'll also come across cute Quail families walking in a bunch. Lots of bathrooms in the campground and day use. The rangers are nice and staff is nice. There is only a handful of them so I understand They do the best they can to keep it clean and safe. Some parts may seem run down or need attention, but it's still a place to relax and soak in the sun and nature. FYI- Pay for Parking at office or in Payment Box at Day Use. Fishing is only Catch & Release read more

I have been going here since the early 80's. I buried my mom's ashes in site 37. I was disappointed this last week when I went there. Things don't seem as guest friendly, even though the staff was pleasant and nice. There is no overflow parking anymore so I had to spend $50 extra just to park an additional car. Otherwise, I would have had to drive the car into the local town of winters and park it in some random spot, not knowing if it would get towed (the staffs advice). The shower water the first night was only extremely hot. I had to take a shower by water bottle because the water was only coming out on extreme hot. I get it, we had a heat wave but it is what it is. The day use has only volleyball fields for fun and they are pretty over grown. The net is in good condition though. I had about 6 kids with me and they were bummed that the nature center is only open on the weekends. During this heat wave, the stay inside a cool place would have been a welcome retreat. I did get to feel the very cold air when they opened the door to tell me they are not open. The water fountain would have been great for my kids because the water in the day use was only coming out hot. Made me feel like they are the rich people looking down on us poor people, like we were peasants. Again, they were not rude. They were nice but man, only open on weekends????? Maybe I should only come on weekends. It will be a long time before I come back, only because my mom is there will I return for that reason. read more

I liked that this place is so close to home, and we had no problem at all with the other campers, but unfortunately the constant surveillance by the staff/sheriffs was weird and unsettling. If their intention was to make sure everyone was safe and having a good time they missed the mark. It didn't feel friendly and we didn't feel very welcomed at all. read more

If you are QTBIPOC DO NOT STAY HERE... unless you have a harassment kink. From the moment our group pulled into our campsite to visit we were visited by 3 sheriff's patrol vehicles. They interrogated us about how many people were staying in our site. Mind you, we booked two sites. According to the website, a site can comfortably fit 8 people. We had 9 people split between two sites. Last time I checked, gathering around a campfire while camping was not considered suspicious activity. That was the first interaction. In addition to that we were visited at least 4 other times being asked questions like is everyone accounted for, how many people are in our party, is this your car, and whatever other fake friendly check in excuse they could come up with. They parked across from us and snooped around our cars as if they were searching for something wrong, and as if we weren't there. In addition, the campsites are supposed to fit 3 tents comfortably yet there was no space for more than one tent unless you like sleeping on tic infested ground that is far from level. It's understandable that sleeping in the outdoors you will come across critters but tics were falling onto us from the trees at our location. Our site was also right off the highway so you could hear traffic constantly. So if you are looking to get away from it all and find some peace in nature AVOID LAKE SOLANO CAMPGROUND AT ALL COSTS. read more

It's a pretty park. It's not really a Lake but a wider part of the unfortunately named Putah Creek lol. I don't think you can really swim here, though there's cool spots up the road where we've floated on inner tubes and waded (the lake Solano part is muddy and looks full of duck poo lol). I haven't camped here or rented a kayak but I'd for sure like to do the latter. Lake berryessa is close by, there's beautiful wildflowers on the drive here from Vacaville in Spring. Though pleasant valley road is lovely year round. And winters is a cool town with swimming holes and fishing spots and some cool bars and restaurants. Lake Solano is a cool cheap spot in combination with an itinerary exploring the area. Oh, and of course the peacocks! read more

this is that perfect campsite for when you want to get away for the weekend. They have canoe and kayak rentals across the street which are reasonable and a good activity. Make sure you select your spot with some thinking going into it. there are definitely two or three different crowds here at all times depending on where you are in the park . read more

This campground is amazing. Spots are also beautiful! That creek is the best to float in this summer heat. I've been camping here with my family since I was a child, now I come here every year with my wife and family! The last two years we have been harassed by the camp host Fred. Friday afternoon when we arrived and are unpacking a sheriff and Fred approached me with some confusion about a campsite my family friend booked who couldn't show because of a family emergency, I show them the reservation email for his site and Fred was not happy. He starts asking weird question about how I know this person and if I'm sure "he's a friend" because his last name is Hispanic. Fred was not happy that we still used that campsite even though we had the confirmation with us in hand. (mind you our family friend had called Lake Solano a week prior to try to refund his site but it's a two week minimum cancellation so he couldn't, so he sent us the reservation and told us to use it.) I'm not sure if Fred is profiling my family because when my wife and I camp here alone(white female and male) we never get harassed or bothered like we do when my (darker complexion) brother and cousins are around. Fred informed us we need to go back up to the front and try to fix all the confusion. So I drove back up to the front and showed them all the site receipts (4 total sites, including mine) and who they belong to because they just cant seem to get organized themselves. Following that, Fred constantly walked his dog by our sites staring over never waving back. At this point we all felt uncomfortable, we just wanted to enjoy our camping trip in our favorite camping spot without being judged. The park rangers always seem to change the "rules" to fit their agenda. The last couple years we were able to park in the overflow parking after checkout on Sunday and paddle board the creek, we live 30 minutes away so we typically enjoy our last Sunday in the sun instead of driving home because we're so close! My mother came up to enjoy paddle boarding with us on Sunday to be told by the front that we were not there anymore so they couldn't drive in and stay, they drove in just to make the loop to the exit and found us on their way to the exit. They were followed by the ranger and we were informed we need to leave the campground all together unless we pay for another night, mind you guest who have not been staying at the campground have been coming and going all weekend including Sunday parking cars in overflow. I'm so disappointed by this visit, our peaceful lake Solano trip was turned into constant harassment. If you have POC in your family or friend group do not bring them here, they will be harassed and profiled. Do better Lake Solano, maybe get rid of what most of your bad reviews are about. Fred. read more

Very discouraging and discriminatory place because my sister contacted the campsite to reserve but they stated they're not able to due to needing two weeks in advance and there's available space but all of a sudden there's no space. read more

Nice, a little hot. We'll be back. Love the lake. Electric and water there too. Clean rest rooms.

Had a great few nights at the campground. Site near lake and bathroom. Just be ready for a few things: 1. only 2 cars per site. I wish there was a place for a 3rd car for day use. Our son was visiting as a 3rd car and planned to head home at 8P. Day use is only open till 7p. We ended up having to pay for another site just so he wouldn't have to rush out at 7p. 2. Water pressure in bathroom nearly non existent. Be ready to use sanitizer after you wash hands with soap and water. 3. Lots of rules and lots of policing. Rangers very nice but circled around frequently making us feel like we could be breaking a rule. 4. Highway noise. While site was beautiful and had quiet feeling, there was constant noise from hwy 128. We were just fine with this but wanted others to be aware. I still give rating of 5 stars because my comments above are just to tell everyone what to expect. We mostly hiked around and went in water with kayak and had a great time. read more

It is hard to get a camp site last minute anywhere in the summer without a reservation months in advance. This lake had some openings but we were not able to reserve it since it was less than 2 weeks out. They only take reservations 2 weeks out. Luckily we got a spot. The guy on the phone was very helpful in providing information, but the girl at the counter was not as helpful. (Was friendly enough but basically got one or two word answers). The campsite itself had a picnic table and a bbq pit/ring. There was a water spigot near by. The bathrooms and showers were decent by camping standards. There was no obvious litter or potty mess in the bathrooms. The bathrooms were stocked with toilet paper. Handsoap not provided as many site do not. The showers had hot water. Other campers were respectful of the campsite. Quiet time is from 10pm to 7am. It was pretty quiet overall. Sheriff and Rangers patrolled very often. They have kayak and boat rentals but it would be better to reserve one the day before because they run out. A lot of people jump in the lake to stay cool. It was hot! Dogs must be on leash at all times. I didn't see any free roaming dogs. Pet parents cleaned up after their pets. The activity park on the "day use" side doesn't allow pets. I don't consider this site to be a great place to bring the dog since there are limitations, but at least he got to tag along. He slept most of the time at the campsite. Wildlife at the campsite was a little bothersome. There were a lot of bugs and insects. There were a lot of small spiders. There were little balls on the chairs that move around at any given time even after they were removed from the chair often. You can count on yellow jackets invading your food when you're eating. Squirrels invaded the bread that was still in the bag when we stepped off site for a short time. (Cooked food was put away) The peacocks loiter around. Saw a few toads. I was woken up by a bird squealing and another pecking at a tree. There were signs that warn campers on rattlesnakes. I didn't see any during my stay. Pest are not unusual when camping but this site had a little more than other sites I've been to. Overall we had a good time. One more thing, there is no cell phone reception. Plan and coordinate accordingly. Or you can drive right outside of the campgrounds to use your cell phone. I usually take a lot of pictures but I was really off the grid this weekend. read more

Decided to do a bit of kayaking before work and this location was pretty close. I have kayaked most of Northern Cali and Nevada and rarely saw a rinse station which this location provides. The launch site is only wide enough to launch 2 kayaks side by side max so if its in the summer expect lines. The scenery and wildlife is breathtaking and from what i saw of the campsites they are kept up as well. The only reason for not giving full stars is mainly due to safety. There was a sales person of stolen goods (putting it nicely) waiting right where you launch showing his merchandise. Since the host\office of the park is up the hill and hidden, the parking lot for the water launchers is NOT visible from the office. read more

Came here to camp last minute with our family over Easter weekend. We live about 35 minutes away so made sure to call ahead to have all questions answered before making the drive so that we didn't miss a thing. We were told over the phone that because it was same day we could only reserve our spots by driving up and paying for them in person because it was first come first serve. They said all we had to do was pay for the spots and they were ours.... Cool. we get there with two cars to reserve our two spots around 4pm so that we had enough time to drive back home to pick up the kids and load up our cars with food/ tents / camping essentials . We were told by Fred we could not reserve two sites unless we left both cars or a tent at the site so we were forced to leave one car and only reserve one camp site even though this was not explained on the phone as they said all we had to do was show up and pay. We paid with $100 and the site was $35 but Fred had no change so we asked if we could pay for the second site with some of the change he owed us and he was persistent on no because the park ranger Jamie was very strict and would be very upset if a grill and storage containers were the only thing left at a site instead of a tent. We drive home, load up what we can in one car (what should've been in two) and head back before the gates close. Fred kept making weird comments like "you girls better behave here" "you girls better be good" MULTIPLE times. It's me , my mother , my teenage sister and my brothers all under the age of 10 he's saying this to. I was wondering if he said this to all visitors or was it just our appearance? It was weird and uncomfortable to say the least. So we go set up at our sites and let Fred know that we have other family arriving around 9:15 (gates close at 9pm) and we were fully aware that they would just have to park in front of the gate and walk down to our campsites and it was no problem (one of the questions we had answered over the phone before initially driving up) . He told us that we had to purchase $10 parking passes for each car that would come and park in the overload parking lot or they would receive tickets from the sheriff. Our guests arrive at 9:10 and Fred comes out of his trailer upset and yelling at my older sister " no you can't come here I don't know what you guys are gonna do down there you guys might do something absolutely not" I don't know what experiences Fred has had with whatever type of people in his past but it was a really weird feeling for him to keep saying these unsettling comments when he was never given a reason. We are respectful visitors who were in tents at 10pm (quiet time) and never had any problems / anybody come to our site for any reason so everyone was confused as to why Fred was so unwelcoming. We had stopped the sheriff as he made his rounds around the park and asked him about the parking passes and he told us that we did not need to pay for a "parking pass" for the overload parking near the front office and that if cars didn't have one they would NOT be ticketed as Fred said. I'm wondering what we spent an additional $30 on that Fred told us was mandatory for cars parked in the lot? I don't think we'll be returning here when Fred is the camp host but we would love to come back when he is not on shift. read more

Been going to this camp site for years and it used to be a fun time for all of our family and friends. Never the nicest camp ground but was convenient being close to home and the lake. Just took a trip and rules over rules over rules! My kids came up and we have always did dinner and hang out. To find out their first hour there we tried to find where they can park without having to leave by 7 pm! Keep in mind this camp ground was completely empty! Had to purchase a campsite for my kids to stay to hang out. There is a 2 car max per site and 8 people max. Also keep in mind our trailer sleeps 10! We counted the rangers drive by over 7 times and also the sheriff. On our last night it was just my wife and I sitting by our propane fire because the site that we were in that is all that was allowed at this time which was completely understandable but had a camp host and a ranger pull up on us to verify once again! Found out through the nice host this was because they have had a lot of homeless people. Staff needs to learn how to read a crowd and not continually harass their guest! They were all rude besides the the 2 host I spoke with. Keep in mind our taxes we pay is for places like this for families to enjoy. We will never be back and I will never recommend to anyone again. Lake solano do better! read more

What a great place ! You can do just about anything here. Bird watching, Kayaking, Fishing, Camping, Hiking okay you get the picture. I like this place because its easy to go kayaking. Im not the worlds best kayaker but with little current, Lake Solano is the perfect spot. During certin times of the year they rent out canoes and kayaks. The area where you launch your kayak is a very well kept spot. Restrooms are nearby, are very clean and.spacious LOL. There is also a kayaking washing station. One side of the park is day use and the other side is for camping. They day use side is a big open area with volleyball nets, kids play structures, picnic tables and BBQ's. The camping side is pretty nice. From what I can see there really isnt a bad place to stay with electrical and water hook ups. Restrooms are close by too. Here is a litte info about the day use area that you may want to know. Its cost $6 per vehicle and dogs are not allowed in that area, No glass or loud music (No partying) Hours: Off Peak Season Oct 1-March 31 Thursday-Tuesday 8am to 5pm & Wednesday 8am to 4pm Peak Season April 1 - Sept 30 Wednesday 8am to 4pm, Mon, Tues, Thurs, Fri 8am to 5pm Sat & Sun 8am to 7pm WARNING Lake Solano has a New Zealand Mudsnail problem, So be careful if you are doing anything in the water. The snails are about 1/8 in long and are black or brown, You wont have a problem spotting them in the water cuz there are tons of them there. Be sure to clean off anything you put in the water. FYI one snail can produce more then 40 million snails in one year !!!! read more

Retirement community or camp ground? Make up your mind. Would be a nice little place except the high number of ten​ant/camp hosts who are hell bent on making their presence known and being absolutely sure not a single rule is broken on their watch. Don't plan on any privacy because they will be swinging by your site several times a day to make sure everything is in order. I'm surprised they didn't pull out a tap measure when they came by to tell me that my 3 log campfire was too big. Ii found the ranger Jamie to be very pleasant and easy to deal with but seeing as she is the only ranger on duty you will be forced to deal with the overbearing presence of the camp hosts that love all over the part like retired vagabonds. It was not a relaxing experience. More like staying over at your in laws who don't really want you there. read more

Had a great 3 nights at the campground. We didn't have reservations but had plenty of choices for a hookup site. One of only four other campers during the week.

We had high hopes about Lake Solano Park Campground, we'll it didn't pan out. Bathrooms and Showers were disgusting, in need of a lot of maintenance. Wasps, yellow jackets, flies, Nats etc. And getting in the River/Creek for someone with physical limitations is impossible. All it would take is some stairs down the riverbank or a ladder Something. Not made for Seniors or handycap people. Their are park rangers but I guess all they do is drive around the camping area. A maintenance guy was their this AM but only removed trash from the bathrooms. The cobwebs and bugs were still there. BUMMER BIG TIME. But the Peacocks were fun to watch and we're not afraid of people. read more

We came in a Friday without reservations. The camp host was located just as you come in and near self pay area. He suggested we unhook our truck from RV drive around and find a site we liked. The first sites (we were looking for 2 together) we found that didn't have reserved signs, did not have power. The camp host was driving around and saw that we had found sites he pointed out they didn't have power and I said that's fine we have a generator. Oohhhhh they DONT ALLOW generators. Oh that might not work. He said there are no sites in the upper level that have power? No I said they all had reserved signs. What I didn't realize and really wish he had pointed out that the reserved signs are put up reserving the sites for up to a week away. So we could have chosen a much nicer site. I've never seen a park put reserved signs up for future dates. So we move on. We ended up at sites 4&5 with an overflow parking spot in between which worked out great having extra space for our grandkids. The sites were narrow and stepping out of RV was a little tricky. Was on a steep slope so caution was definitely needed. Plenty of peacocks walking around and very noisy but not to the point of irritation. A few bees but not bad but plenty of mosquitoes and gnats. We had a great time kayaking. There is a playground but it was closed the weekend we were there. We will definitely go back. read more
