There are over 100 sites within the Acorn Campground, and I chose site #107 because of its view and proximity to New Hogan Lake.Īs soon as we arrived, we popped our sunshade tent over the picnic table and found a spot to place our tent.

Site #107 at Acorn Campground View from site #107 at Acorn Campground We had to make a few quick loops around before we found the way to our site #107. Keep an eye out for the brown placards sharing site numbers you’ll see one-way signs posted throughout the campground. Instead of going straight down Highway 99, we had to re-route to Interstate 5 and cut across to Valley Springs.Īs noted by many reviews online, once you make it to Acorn Campground, it can be confusing when driving around and hard to find specific sites. It’s only an hour’s drive from our Oak Park home to New Hogan Lake, but we hit a car accident on Highway 99 (State Route 99). When others cancel, it’s an excellent idea to swoop up a reservation.įor the first time in a while, we traveled south from Sacramento to reach our camping destination. It was a last-minute trip to Acorn Campground, and we found our site open on the website. Spending a Night at Acorn Campground at New Hogan Lake I also want to see Mercer Caverns and the Moaning Caverns Adventure Park in Calaveras County. I’ve spent some time in the county visiting places like Calaveras Big Trees State Park outside Arnold. New Hogan Lake is located in Calaveras County. Coyote Point Group Campground is a bit past this area, and you can see the camps out on the point across the small alcove when at Acorn Campground.

Within the Acorn Recreation Area on the North side of New Hogan Lake sits the Wrinkle Cove Day Use Area, the Hogan Reservoir Boat Ramp, Fiddleneck Day Use Area, New Hogan Dam Disc Golf Course, Acorn Campground and Oak Knoll campground.
