Nice secure park but electric rates are the highest I've ever paid anywhere in the country. By just running a small electric heater occasionally it cost over $300/month. Won't except nothing but cash, so never coming back into California ever again.

My friends and I had the greatest time staying here! There’s a laundry room (washing machine + dryer), full hookup and a local pub. Edward was a great host and was super patient with giving us instructions. The campground was quiet yet near the highway exit. The sunset and sunrise view was amazing as well. 11/10 will visit again if there’s a chance! Thank you for hosting us, Edward! ☺️

Very rude staff they only want to rent to contractors and people without children. I called to find out rates and was refused a quote because we have 3 children and she claims that a family of 5 is to much for their RV park as their power and sewer clogged when they had 3 kids in an RVs before. Perhaps they need to consider the age of their systems as we have traveled full time in RVs since 2018 a... Very rude staff they only want to rent to contractors and people without children. I called to find out rates and was refused a quote because we have 3 children and she claims that a family of 5 is to much for their RV park as their power and sewer clogged when they had 3 kids in an RVs before. Perhaps they need to consider the age of their systems as we have traveled full time in RVs since 2018 and never had issues like she is describing. If you value the wiring in your RV don’t stay here. If a 50amp RV with slides is causing outages they need to have an electrician come and update the wiring.

Super nice park. Nice neighbors during our stay, the on-site manager and the owner were both really helpful and made themselves available. When in the area this is where we will stay, for sure!

This place was beautiful and the 3 mile walking path was easy with two small inclines. You should bring your lunch and have a picnic as halfway through there's an area with picnic tables.

Couldn't ask for a more lovely, quiet place in early February. And greeting me at the kiosk was the friendliest, most helpful attendant I've ever met - Lawrence!! Thank you so much for a wonderful introduction to the park, Lawrence. I'll be back!

I thought it was relaxing, peaceful. however suddenly a business pulled up out of a van selling ice cream off a cart like a swat meet, beeping a loud horn. Since when is this the city? Crying children screaming and running through camp sites after the sugar, who even permitted a business to run out of here? That's wrong.

Lovely park. Well maintained and clean bathrooms. The only complaint is there is a dog that seems to be trapped in one of the boat slips on the other side of the jetty. Barked all night which prevented any sleep. But that’s not the fault of the park. Some boat owner doesn’t care about its dog.

This is my second time here. I enjoyed the experience and being far enough away from other campers. The pros: inexpensive ($36 a night), a lot of space for tents. Great for kids or adult kids to ride scooters and bicycles. A great swimming area. Cons: There was a sign stating no campfires (no wood and no charcoal), which to me defeats the camping experience. The shower water was extremely ho... This is my second time here. I enjoyed the experience and being far enough away from other campers. The pros: inexpensive ($36 a night), a lot of space for tents. Great for kids or adult kids to ride scooters and bicycles. A great swimming area. Cons: There was a sign stating no campfires (no wood and no charcoal), which to me defeats the camping experience. The shower water was extremely hot. Almost too hot to shower. Almost every restroom door was locked because guests did not check the locking mechanism, so when they shut the door upon leaving, the door would lock. The owners should invest in better locks. Overall, I would definitely recommend Brannan Island. And, make sure to bring quarters for the shower. $.50 and the water runs for about 30 minutes
