We have been camping for a few years now and I’ve never had an experience like the one my fiancée and I had when we called to make reservations at Sherwood RV Park. Right away before we even asked if they could accommodate us the Owner «Jim» started in on us while slurring every other word. We couldn’t make out if he was the right person to talk to but he tried to assure us that he was the man and he was the only man we needed to talk to. He also told us he was the man that would call the sheriff to have us towed out of there if we caused any trouble. We could almost smell the alcohol through the phone. We decided we didn’t want any part of this place and choose another campground that didn’t have a drunk owner dictating to us before we even got there. I wouldn’t ever go to this place as long as this drunk is the owner. He was rude, obnoxious, and actually an asshole. I am shocked he is still in business and don’t know how he’s made it this far. Do yourself a favor don’t even waste your time with this idiot. Find another place like we did.

Nice view and access of/​to the Sacramento river. On the other hand the bathrooms are crappy, water stinks severely of sulfur and the owner is a high «D» person that at times is unreasonable. Like a dictator. The mobile home sites with hookup are very tight like sardines and they sometimes dictate which site you have to camp at. I’ve camped all over the United States and never before have run into a situation where the owner dictates which campsite you can use. Usually it’s a choice of the ones that are open. They have been flexible as of late and the girls that handle the office/​store are pleasant and helpful. The bathrooms are nothing to write home about but are cleaned daily and it’s OK.

We have a nice spot next to the Sacramento River. The Grass was nice and green and with all the large older trees, shade was nice. The campground was a little off the beaten path but not far from stuff that is was quite and nice. Would stay again if in that area.

I am very picky and alway check on my I pad before we decide on a campground. The prior review was right on and it is the reason we choose this place. It was on the water, which was charming. It was close to downtown, a Target and other stores if you needed something. There were long term residence and some shabby trailers however we ignored them and had a great time. One of the shabby trailers was kind of fun to watch… she had at least six cats, a chair under a tarp that she sat under when she was hiding.
I would recommend this place… it is nice and convenient. Our dog enjoyed it. Haven’t slept that well in a long time.
We stayed for three nights in a motor home.

So far so good, we have a long term site we plan I stay for a few months for work, we managed to reserve a site in less than an hour notice with full hook ups and a nice big space surrounded by grass. Very quiet and peaceful. The manager seems very friendly and stayed open late to wait for our arrival, which was great of her. Only one complaint; we get no wifi in our spot at all! If we had wifi I would have given 5 stars. Otherwise, I do recommend this park.

Some real pluses and minuses here, so read up.
We stayed here in a travel trailer for three days. I picked this place due to good reviews on an RV site. It seemed to be the best in the area and was out of South Sacramento, where I am told one should not go.
Reservations were hard to coordinate. They often did not answer the phone and did not return messages in a timely manner. I got a hold of someone who told me to call back another day when a different person was working as they did not know how to make a reservation.
The sites are all the same price. Not all the sites had sewer. It appears only those closest to the office do. I made a reservation for a site with sewer on the river. We arrived after hours, picked a site and found out in the AM that there was only a non waterfront site open with sewer. We opted to stay where we were.
The park has a lot of year round residents. This was no surprise to me. The park was small and there were a lot of open spaces. There is a marina as well, full of boats that appear to be people living there year round. We were on the riverfront one night and were treated to one of the men on a boat waltzing around nude and oblivious inside his boat. Our site did not have a picnic table, but we carried one from an open site and no one objected.
But, there are many pluses here. The park was very quiet. The park sits right on the Sacramento River. We were allowed to pull in and park parallel to the river. The wi-​fi did work and was good, but not great. The park is close to freeway access and within 10 mins of downtown Sacramento. It was very close to civilization, but about ¼ mile out on the levee, so we got the best of both worlds. There is a Target just down the road and an excellent supermarket in the same center. The park also has a small store that had a nice variety of things.
In all, we had 3 days of relaxation on the river in a peaceful setting. So, in spite of some shortcomings, we were very happy here.
