We stayed at this RV park for a week and found it clean, well maintained, and with a very friendly and helpful staff. The park has a rustic flavor perfect for the area. Wine grapes grow on site and are quite tasty. The location is convenient to the old historic district in Angels Camp, CA. Water pressure on site was good and voltage was adequate. There's no cable TV, but we were able to receive an amazing selection of digital TV channels (some HD) over the air from Sacramento and presumably Stockton. Each site has a picnic table and a fire ring (with cooking grate). Due to the layout of the sites, the fire rings are located a tad close to the RV's for my personal taste. For example, you wouldn't want to have a campfire with your awning out as the fire would be under the awning! But on the positive side, the layout lends to a cozy private feeling. One downside to this park (and not the fault of the owners) is busy CA Hwy 49 is located right in front of the park. This highway features constant road noise during the day, but thankfully is relatively quiet at night. The Wi-Fi signal was frustrating and I hope the owners will upgrade it! We found it weak and intermittent even when using a high-gain externally mounted Wi-Fi antenna on the top of our travel trailer, which normally pulls in the most troublesome signals... not here! Thankfully AT&T wireless had good coverage here with their Edge data so we could keep in touch with the outside world. We wouldn't hesitate to stay here again when visiting the area.

Friendly owners with a commitment to upgrading and expanding. It was clean and neat, had a small store, propane and group facilities. Gazebo was a great place for a party. Solar powered. Close to historic and natural areas. Tent sites were very nice. Some cabins available. Partial hook-up sites quieter and farther from highway. Convenient to, but not in, town. A few long-term residents and a fascinating Emu! I'd go back. We camped here in a Motorhome.

The staff was very friendly. Receiving WiFi was trying at times. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Nothing fancy but an economical alternative to other parks in the area. Sites are grass, utilities are in the back with one pedestal shared by four sites. When the park is not full it is simple to pull thru and have utilities on the side. Cell signal was good and no obstructions to the satellite. The $18.00 rate reflects a senior citizen discount; standard rate is $22.00. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We stayed at Glory Hole Rec Area / Big Oak Campground for 3 nights while attending the Calavaras County Fair/Frog Jumping weekend. The campground is about 15 minutes from the fairgrounds. The camp sites are fairly good in size (we stayed in site 111) however, there is little to no shade. The weekend we spent there it was over 105 F. and could use a few trees. AC and a good generator allowed us to stay. There are no full hook-up, and water connections are not very friendly for filling your rig. There is a nice new dumping station but, it is closed until sometime in 2009. As of May 2008, the water is very low at the lake and the swimming areas is basically dirt so, there is no place for kids to swim. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This is a lovely BLM campground at New Melones Lake Recreation Area between Sonora and Angels Camp on Hwy 49. Boat rentals are available for fishing and there are several places from the shore to fish as well - we caught a couple of nice trout. There is a free dump station at the sister campground called Tuttletown Recreation area which is a few miles south on Hwy 49. Camped here in a Class C. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is operated by the US Bureau of Reclamation. New Melones Lake has two recreation areas as the lake spans two counties. The Glory Hole Recreation Area in Calaveras County has two campgrounds Ironhorse and Big Oak. The sites are big and paved. Each has views of the lake and surrounding hills. This is a very popular lake for boating and fishing. It has a large marina and many boats and jet skis for rent. There are also 18 miles of mountain biking trails. We would stay here again.
