From Sacramento/North: Take I-5 South for approximately 30 minutes. Turn Right (West) on Highway 12. Continue on Highway 12 (West) for approximately 20 minutes. Turn Right (just after second drawbridge) onto Brannan Island Road. Follow Brannan Island Road for approximately 3 miles. Turn Right into Lighthouse Resort & Marina.
We were there for a large event l, had a great time with everyone. Due to the management changing plans and shutting things down, I HIGHLY DOUBT the the Event organizers and all of their following will EVER return. Especially after charging $100 per night. This was a big mistake financially, considering the organizers were excited about possibly booking their annual weekend long music festival there next year, which people from all over the country travel to attend.
Way to go Lighthouse Resort!
The campground has nice large flat spots. Lots of shade, however, the trees are extremely low for taller rigs. The entrance is a steep slope and we hit our 5th wheel with the back of the truck coming in. Not sure what they can do about that part since the campground is on the other side of the delta. The grounds are pretty well kept. Bathrooms were not as clean as they could be. No fire pits unless you bring your own. We did not go into the little store so I cannot speak to what it carries. We would possibly stay here again if they trimmed the trees but it is a little pricey for what you get. The pool did not work for the week while we were there but we were here to boat so that wasn't a huge deal.
Stayed one night in my RV. Nice and quiet. Enjoyed the Lighthouse Bar river side and right across the street.
Had a Great Experience staying here! Called in to set reservations, the staff was friendly, I got the gate code the day before checking in and when I arrived I drove in and parked at my spot. We stayed here the beginning of October and the park was not packed. I hear summers are the time of year this place is packed. But it was nice that it was quiet, My wife and I stayed here to visit some friends that have a boat about 5 minutes away. We spent our days out on the water and our evenings here. They have a pool that I wish we would have planned for but had no time. They have miniature golf and volleyball courts too. Lighthouse bar/restaurant is across the road and a great place for food and drinks! During the summer I recommend getting a shaded area as I’m sure it gets hot. Our area was nice and level and the grass was green and made for a great spot to hangout in the evenings!
Upon arrival, we waited 15 minutes as they couldn't find our reservation. Should have been a clue! Our reservations were booked and paid through our Coast to Coast membership but the clerk at the front desk demanded an additional $35 per night which she said was for electricity. So we ended up paying $85 per night which didn't include any internet (another additional charge). This place is a dump. It is more of a trailer park of almost homeless residents living here full time. Everything is in need of repair. I took a shower this morning and had to turn on the hot water full blast without using any cold water just to get it warm enough to take a shower. Bathroom looks like it was built in 1950. One of the two men's restrooms did not have any hot water at all. The restaurant is run down, too. They didn't have any propane so our choice for dinner was either hot dogs or hamburgers. Service was good, burgers were good but served with potato chips. Again, everything is scaled down to the minimum and absolutely no ambiance on what you would call a "restaurant". I don't know where they get the idea to call this place a resort. It's more like a "last resort". Keep driving and find another place that actually cares about their clients and what they offer.
