Tuttletown Recreation Campground

Tuttletown Recreation Area offers 161 campsites across three loops (Acorn, Chamise, and Manzanita) on New Melones Lake with a boat launch, RV dump station, and fish cleaning station.

The campground features flush toilets, potable water, fire rings, and picnic tables, though RV hookups are not available and sites accommodate up to 8 people with 2 vehicles.

Note that boat launches are currently closed due to invasive golden mussels; hand-launch vessels like kayaks and paddleboards with no gas motors are exempt, and motorized boats require a 30-day quarantine program through Glory Hole Recreation Area.
