A wonderful place to spend a few hours. In August, there are a number of people swimming but there are plenty of picnic tables in the afternoon shade. Nice area for fishing, rafting and just kicking back. They have cleared a number of entrances to the water. You could pay for spots that wouldnt be as nice.

Very nice little hidden gem. Not a big place and not a whole lot of parking, probably about 20 parking spaces. There was a couple spots to get in the water. The water is very cold and fast moving, life jackets are required. Very beautiful place, very peaceful and tranquil.

Great for walking around. The views are amazing. It has a camping ground for bbqs with friends and family. And riverbanks for you to swim off of.

Easy river access. Most recently kayaker from Knights Ferry to Oak Valley park. The first beaches have steep banks so be prepared to get a work out when you put out.

Beautiful Campsite in the shade which is 10 to 15 degrees cooler than in the Sun. We had lots of space with a small river access. The camp host Ralph is delightful and kept it nice and tidy for us. The one negative is the walk from the parking lot to the campsite, definitely bring a wagon and minimize your stuff!

Open sunrise to sunset. Boat in camping with reservations through army corps park in knights ferry, i believe. There is park hosts on site, for information. Great place to stop and go for a nice long quiet hike along the bank of the Stanislaus River. Put in or take out your raft, canoe or kayak. Limited parking.

This is a lovely area to enjoy the Stanislaus River - a well-maintained river park with a mile long trail dotted with wild grape and trees.

There are city parks in the neighboring areas that cover more ground. It might as well be a city park with houses on all sides. Im also not too thrilled that whoever working there called the game warden on me as soon as I got there. If I wanted to be questioned by law enforcement at a park I could have went to a city park. If it wasnt for Geocaching I wouldnt have even gone there. Definitely wont go back

I liked going there to take a walk and sitting by the river for awhile enjoying nature. A nice place to visit and get away from the city.
