Beautiful landscape, perfect for a fee hours of peace or taking your kids and/or your dog. You need to pay a fee to enter ($12 in 2024) that also gives you access to all the other Folsom areas for the day. No bathrooms or snack available off season.

I stayed for a week at Beals Point Campground. I was in handicap space 67, and it was fabulous. It offers shade in the afternoon on hot days,it was completely flat, very roomy, and right next door to really nice, clean handicapped restrooms and showers. The campsite was big enough to pitch a huge tent besides holding at least three vehicles and a trailer. The campsite is located adjacent to the bike trail so it's real easy to access for your bikes or trikes. The camp host was really nice and helpful. The cool thing about camping in your hometown is your friends can come and visit you, you know where everything is if you need to make a food run. Plus there's food within about a mile in case you don't want to cook. I highly recommend handicapped space 67 at Beals Point Campground

Nearly perfect! It's gorgeous here! They have campsites, bike trails, swimming, boating, kayaking, all the other fun stuff! There is a snack bar, but it was closed when we were there. Lots of bathrooms (including but not limited to port-a-johns), and the only reason I gave this park 4 stars instead of 5 is because the bathrooms were filthy. Mind you, it was a packed summer day at the park but the bathrooms tore up. The cost for our day pass was $12. Well worth the price, especially if you come out for the whole day.

Beals Point State Recreation Area on Folsom lake is an excellent place to visit for a relaxing day of outdoor activities. Swimming, fishing, sunbathing, hiking, and bicycling are just the beginning of the many things that await you at this beautiful, easy to access location. There is also a year-around campground, with reservations required, that has 69 spots for tents, trailers, and RVs. Full hook ups for your RVs are also available. And this campground is one of only two on Folsom lake. One visit and you will be "hooked."
