Medeiros Campground

Sweeping views of O’Neill Forebay, wide open spaces, and the simplicity of primitive camping define Medeiros Campground in Gustine, California. Located along the southern shoreline of the forebay within San Luis Reservoir State Recreation Area, this first-come, first-served spot offers a tranquil escape ideal for anglers, kayakers, and those seeking a no-frills outdoor experience.
