Blue Oaks Recreation Area is nestled in the rolling foothills adjacent to Don Pedro Lake is Blue Oaks Recreation Area. Campers awake to scenic views of the central valley or the sunrise over the water of Don Pedro Lake. The campground offers campsites with either partial hookups (water and power) or without hookups – perfect for either RV’s and/or tents. The facility also has a boat launching ramp, fish cleaning station, sewage dump station, a group camping area (for up to 200 people) complete with covered dining area and electric hookups for RV’s, restrooms with hot showers (no additional charge), and a hiking trail.  The campground is located on a hill above the lake.  Access to the water from the campground is not that good.  Although, you could beach your boat below the campground.  Its just a long walk from most of the camp sites.  Fleming Meadows Campground is a little better for shoreline boat parking and it has a marina.  Blue Oaks has a launch ramp but no marina.  Most camp spots have large oak shade trees.  Campbase saw some wild turkeys in the   during our visit.  See the photos tab for a few pictures.

Two additional campgrounds are located in the Don Pedro Lake recreation area, Fleming Meadows Campground and Moccasin Point Campground.
