EcoCamp Berryessa is a spectacular group camp site along the peaceful northern shoreline of Lake Berryessa. It’s a place where children and adults can disconnect and learn to build a fire, paddle a canoe, or catch a fish. All in a setting that’s clean, comfortable and environmentally friendly.

Consisting of approximately 10 acres, the camp is characterized by blue oak woodlands, open grassland, and chamise. Several pair of osprey nest at or near the camp and it is not unusual to see bald eagles, river otter, and a resident grey fox.

Features & Camp Design:

EcoCamp was completed in 2015 and funded through a major grant from the State Coastal Conservancy. In keeping with its name, EcoCamp Berryessa was designed with an eye to energy-efficiency, use of natural and/or recycled materials, and resource conservation.

It features solar power, showers feeding into a graywater system, environmentally friendly composting toilets, permanent tent cabins, a stone amphitheater, a canoe/kayak launch, a beach, and countless paths and trails connecting our visitors to the beauty of Lake Berryessa, which surrounds the camp on three sides.
