Winter discount for camping at Englebright Lake

Published Jan. 9, 2015

SACRAMENTO, Calif. - From now until April 30, it only costs $4 to camp at Englebright Lake near Smartsville.

Camping areas at the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers recreation area are reachable only by boat, which offers a truly secluded experience. Each spot has a picnic table, fire pit, lantern hanger, level tent spot and is a short walk to indoor restrooms. Drinking water is available at each boat launch.

It may be a bit chilly, but you can enjoy one of the region’s most unique camping experiences for one-fifth of the normal price. The lower rate is available until spring. Prices go back up to $20 a day on May 1.

Englebright Lake's camping areas are booked on a first-come, first-served basis. Group picnic areas must still be reserved ahead of your visit and are not discounted during the winter.

The Corps of Engineers is the nation's number one federal provider of outdoor recreation, with over 400 parks nationwide.
