Manzanita Campground should be on the shoreline of New Melones Lake but, like all the lakes in California, Melones is showing the effects of the drought and the water level is very low. At the time of our visit most of the campgrounds in Tuttletown Recreation Area were still closed for the season and, except for the host and one other RV, Manzanita Campground was empty. None of the sites have electricity and the dump station is not free for campers.
The campground is built on a steep hill and many of the sites are just a parking area along the road with the table and camp area accessed by steps. The accessible sites have a paved parking pad and fine gravel for the camp area which includes a table with an extended top and a fire ring with high sides. Most are close to a restroom. The site pictured above (# 92) has a paved path to the restroom and is next to the sign-in board and dumpsters. The parking area is fairly level but since the road is one way the entry door of your RV will open to the road instead of the camp area. Campground
