Long Ravine Campground

Poorly ran facility !
Campsites are small, and on top of each other.
The blonde at the front check in desk was so rude… even after asking for a map (1^st time there) we never got one. We were given directions to our site set up camp, come to find out we were in the wrong site. No big deal, mistakes get made, easy fix. Even though I confirmed with the maintenance guy and the gal at the front on 3 yes THREE separate occasions that were in the right spot. Again no big deal to move, but the manner in which we were treated was unacceptable.
Bathrooms were a mess
They close the store for employee’s to take lunch.
The wait times to get gas on the lake were a joke, as we had to wait for employee’s to come back from lunch.
The lake is beautiful but small.
Save your money and go elsewhere!

First time visitor. I loved the short drive to get here from Sac. The lake was nice (once you found parking) but overall I was not impressed. The bathroom close to us had one operational stall and the showers were broken. And our site did not have a BBQ as advertised.
The worst part was the other campers. I wish the only problems we had were the marijuana that was being smoked around us. I am hoping we just ended up in the ghetto section. The people across from us were so drunk by 6:30pm on Saturday that the girls were screaming at each other then crying.
The hilarity was when the «security patrol» came to tell us they could hear voices (at 10:30pm). Apparently we were talking too loud with our teens as we sat playing cards. Maybe if we were drunk and had our music blaring it would have been ok.
Security had told the people across from them to turn the music down which lasted for about 5 minutes. About 12 am people starting complaining to other campers about their music and the offenders decided to crank up the base so loud we couldn’t sleep.
At 8:30 the next morning two campsites came inches from a fist fight after screaming profanities for a few minutes (despite being screamed at that there were kids around). Apparently the rowdy drunk people broke something at the site next to them. Complete trash!
We will be back for a day trip but not where I want to bring my kids. Hope they clean up the guests!

Had to write a review because I have camped here two times in the last three years and just booked our third trip.
I have camped Lakeside and in the regular sites. Both were nice sites, yes Lakeside sites were small. Evidently the new ownership realized that too and combined the lakeside sites to make them larger. The price went up to $ 75 for the lakeside sites but that worked perfect as we have two families going anyway and usually get two sites together.
Never had any issues with noisy neighbors, although you can hear some crazies in the distance while going to sleep. Pretty normal as far as camping goes…
Restrooms were hit and miss, could use a little extra attention from time to time, but overall not horrible. Again, it is camping. I’ve seen some pretty dirty bathrooms in Yosemite, so for the most part, these were ok. better than no flush toilets that I grew up camping with.
Hard to get a hold of for reservations. Better calling in the evening. However, once I got in touch with them, they were VERY friendly.
Great little store, nice sand (ish) swim area. Kids love the dock and slide. Great place to bring kayaks, kids and friends. If I could get ahold of them easier and the restrooms were sparkling clean all day I would give them 5 stars…

How do I hate thee? Let me count the ways. Picnic bench at site broken so could only use ½ of it. No grilling capabilities, only a fire ring. Water spigot to fill campsite bucket broken, so had to go to another one. Restrooms (3 for 100 campers/​guests) were cleaned/​stocked only once a day. Shower (1) was coin-​operated, though nothing in their website indicated such. Wait for the one shower exceeded 3 hours at the end of the swimming day. «Strictly enforced» quiet rules were ignored by staff, allowing one idiot to sing LOUDLY until he passed out around 2 a.m. Not enough parking near campsites. I have never been so close to neighboring campsites as this one, so if you don’t want your neighbor to hear you whisper something to your tent mates, do NOT go to Long Ravine at Rollins Lake. The campsites are on rocky slopes that even sober people have trouble staying upright on. They are clearly making money hand-​over-​fist because none of their fees are going into the upkeep of the joint. I have been using Unilocal for a long, long time and I think this is the first time I’ve actually posted something. Incredibly disappointing! If I hadn’t been invited there as part of a family gig, I would not have gone. I will NEVER make that mistake again.

Tried to rent a boat from them. Booked it a month in a half ahead of time to find on the day of my friends 21^st birthday it was «overbooked» and there was nothing they could do. That’s the reason we went there to camp was for the boat and it was gone last minute. This place SUCKS

My family of four just back from a miserable stay at this campground. Rollins lake is really nice for swimming and boating, but don’t stay here unless you want to party (all night long)! The campsites are on top of one another and the noise went on long into the night. The campground is not locked at night, so drunken people come in to swim and carouse. There were bands playing until midnight and the partying continued until at least 3am. The entrance was not staffed when we arrived, so we had to drive around until we found our camp site. The bathroom doors slammed all night long and were filthy. Do not stay here if you have young kids or you want to sleep at night!!!

Well aside from nearly dying from an ATV. And a watermain break. And the drunken staff.
Actually this place sucked.

Too many ghetto people, too many people period! Worst camping experience ever! Don’t go here unless you want a sleepless night. Absolute crap. I want my money back!!!

OK, let’s start with the basics…
The employees were nice and the location (the lake itself) was nice but…
…price gouging is not my thing…
Campsite $ 33, we got a site with electricity (ok, that was nice), but if we had known that there was no per site maximum regarding people and cars, we would not have spent the additional $ 30 per night for a second campsite…
…let me rephrase that, there is only 1 car included in each reservation, and we weren’t told about the $ 15 PER NIGHT extra car fee
In Summary…
Campsite $ 62 (we got an additional site, because of our larger sized group)
Extra car fees $ 30 (2 cars)
total six nights $ 492 (extra cars were only 4 nights)
wait…$ 500 for a weeks worth of camping… NOT!
It certainly wasn’t luxurious, all our neighbors had 6 or more tents on one site! Some sites had as many cars as they had tents! Save your money and camp off site and just pay the day use and launch fee if you want to boat here. It’s WAY over crowded on weekends, and the lake is not that big, given all the boat traffic!
Anyway, we were thoroughly disappointed, but as we were told, «That’s how the owners make money»…too bad they won’t get any more of ours… ok, I’m done ranting!

We stayed at Long Ravine camprgound at Rollins Lake because we were invited by friends. We were able to reserve a lake front campsite for $ 29 per night. The site had a view of the lake, but also of the other 6 campsites cramped into a very small area. We were lucky to have room for a two tents.
The grounds are privately owned, so they tout strict enforcement of the rules. I am by no means a quiet person camping, I enjoy sitting around the campfire and playing music etc, but the neighboring campers were up past 3 am both nights.
On the positive side, there are free showers and flush toliets. All in all, I would rather spend less money per night for more room and privacy and to support our national parks.
