Beal's Point Campground sits right along Folsom Lake in Granite Bay, offering 69 family campsites spread across grounds where dogs can actually move around and explore. The campground takes RVs and trailers up to 31 feet, plus tent camping, so whether you’re pulling in with a full rig or pitching a tent, there’s space for you and your dog.

The setup here is straightforward and functional. You get barbecue pits, grassy areas for hanging out, and direct access to the lake’s beaches—which is the real draw if you’ve got a dog who enjoys water. The beaches let dogs splash around, though water levels at Folsom Lake fluctuate significantly depending on the season, so what’s swimmable in summer might be very different in fall. The main camping season runs May through Labor Day, which is worth knowing if you’re planning a specific trip.

On the RV side, sites 50-69 have full hookups, plus there’s a sanitation dump station and piped drinking water throughout. The restrooms are wheelchair-accessible with shower facilities, which matters if you’re staying a few days. The general feel is practical rather than fancy—this is a working lakeside campground, not a resort.

Keep your dog on leash around the campground itself and clean up after them; that’s standard and keeps things pleasant for everyone. The appeal here isn’t amenities or frills—it’s the lake access and the fact that the grounds give you and your dog room to move. If you’re looking for a straightforward camping experience with water access for your dog, this delivers that. You’ll want to check current water levels before you go, since they really do affect what the beach situation looks like on any given day.
