Located east of Lodi, off highways 12 and 88, Lake Camanche is the perfect destination resort for year round recreation. We offer places to stay and plenty of recreational opportunities on and off the water, whether you're staying for the day, the weekend, or even longer. Plus, we're located in the heart of California's Gold Country.

Full body contact is allowed on our lake and we are a popular destination for summer jet-skiing, wakeboarding, and boating. Please review our Watershed Rules and Regulations.

There is also a fully stocked trout pond at our South shore. Marinas on North and South shores offer boat rentals, slips, fuel, bait, tackle and supplies. Full RV hookups, shoreline camping and lots of campsites with barbecues, tables, hot showers, restrooms and laundry facilities make Camanche one of the best recreational destinations in California. Fully furnished cottages at both shores and motel units at our North shore are also available for a unique resort experience.

The Camanche Recreation Area is a public facility operated by agreement with the East Bay Municipal Utility District by the California Parks Companies.

Due to the growing presence of the invasive Zebra and Quagga mussel in California, we will be conducting mandatory boat inspections and interviews prior to entry. Please click here for more information, tips, and a list of prohibited counties.
