Awful, unhealthy environment. Dirty, nothing but pavement, redneck kinda place!!! Owners and management are unprofessional, rude, and a bit lazy!!! If you want everyone in the park to know your business… spend 3 minutes talking to Denise, the manager, who professes to be a christian… hummmmm. Really, take your money to a better place!!! They are out there! Do I really have to pick a star???

My brother lives in Lodi. We thought we’d take the trailer this past Christmas 2014. I probably should have asked around before staying here. This is JUST, a place to drop your hat. Not a place to recreate or enjoy anything other than the inside of your rig. The staff was VERYFRIENDLY and when the office was open, very helpful. Made the reservation by telephone two weeks in advance. Went well. There is no general store nothing to buy other than propane(a plus) and well, it was just, very spartan. The campground is really just a parking lot with lots of full timers. The full timers have kind of taken over to the point of making the RV parking lot look just well, junky. Not secure and near a very swampy looking sort of river which try’s to flow under a highway overpass. I couldn’t quite see myself kayaking anywhere near this place but, people have said they do it. Go figure. When my Bro found out where we were staying, he kind of chuckled. Said homeless people always setup camp just down the dirt path and under the highway bridge. It felt that way although we didn’t see it personally. There was however, a lot of junk down there by the rivers edge. Looks like a great place to film a show about a murder. Bathrooms, clean and unusual. Nothing else to report. I wont be back because there are certainly better, more secure places where I’d surely feel a lot safer. Sorry guys, as nice and pleasant as you’all were, the park just doesn’t get it.

I’m a fan because we found a spot to put our kayak’s in on the quieter saner leg of the Mokelumne. Don’t get me wrong, I love Lodi Lake, just not all the loud folks that blast their music and take away the peace and serenity of the beautiful nature. I certainly wouldn’t call the park a «resort». When I hear the word resort, I think of a high end place. Moke Beach RV Park is just a place to park your RV by the 99, get a hookup and have river access. We were able to get right down to the river which is good cause we don’t have wheels on our kayaks; so no carrying them for 100’s of feet, just pulled the truck down the dirt path and dragged them right into the water. If you have a small boat(emphasis on the word small) you can launch it from the park as well. This part of the Moke is not for speed boats(due east) there are many impediments such as fallen trees and very low waters… which in my opinoin, is what keeps the place peaceful. We did see a couple of jet skis but once they saw the conditions, they headed back towards the lake. Cost to launch, $ 5 per vessel. Not a bad deal. They do have a restroom with plumbing, but there’s only one person in the office and if she’s not there you’re outta luck! Oh, and really, there are few places where you can pull your kayak or canoe ashore as most property this neck-a-the-woods is private. The proprietor is friendly(yes she was there) and informative about the area. The only other choice for river access is to know someone who lives on the Moke or to go to Lodi Lake… which I’ve read on their website, has added kayaks to the types of boats they rent at their boathouse. There are also kayak companies that bring their rigs out to the lake to rent-it’s about time! Lodi Lake would be the perfect place for learning to kayak on a calm waterway. The thing we learned by our peaceful kayak experience;you don’t have to drive miles and miles somewhere else to enjoy nature and the beautiful waterways; they’re right in our own backyard!
