beals point

Has a sandy beach, big area. Needs more grass areas. Boat launch for Jet skis, canoes, small craft would be great. Great place to picnic with family..

Wow, ot was hot when we were there, there is some shade but don't count on it. We were in an RV and sites are ample. Bathrooms are updated and convenient, the showers were very clean, $.50 for 4 minutes and $.75 for 6 which was plenty for me, lots of hot water (though there weren't that many campers there. Lots of walking, biking trails...no water sports this tome of year with the drought!

This is a beautiful park/ recreation area. Plenty of picnic tables, restrooms, walking areas, parking. Lots of trees for shade in the summer. You will love it.

Even though the Folsom lake level is currently low and eliminates the swim area, Beale's point is still a good recreation spot. Great for campers in tents and RV's. Large grassy areas with tables and grills for picnics and play. Great area to cycle too. Lots of areas to hike and explore! Flush toilets are always a plus!

Because of all the water issues, this lake dries up EARLY and it is all DIRT. You will hike a LONG WAY with your picnic lunch to get anywhere near water. And be careful - we drove in there to find it a reset, turned around and left - they will NOT refund your entrance fee despite how quickly you have turned around to leave! And they WON'T share with you that it is a yikky dirty desert. One of our guests was nine months pregnant, we could not subject her to the long dirt walk to MORE dirt. Staff at the gate could not care less about that. AVOID!

This is a great place to go have a picnic with your family or to just relax. It has a good view and a good beach.

We stopped in one evening fir one night. The cost was $59 for full hookups. That is more than double of most state park camping fees.

Beals Point has to be the busiest place around Folsom Lake. Boat docks, lots of parking. The designated swimming area and facilities are here. If this is your first time visiting Folsom Lake, this is a good place to start. If you want more privacy, wander around. There are lots of places around the lake to discover. People also stake out a good spot for picnics and shade, so get there early!TIP: Bring an instant canopy. The water's edge is a good walk from real shade.

Camped with a group of 6 families over the summer. The campsites are nice and clean. The Folsom lake recreational area is fun with lots of activities.

I used to love Beals Point. Nice beach, great place to walk dogs on the exposed lake bed when water levels are low. However since the fee increases earlier this year, combined with the fact that these increases were supposed to cover the parks system's budget shortfalls to keep the facility open. That was before we learned the State Parks system was hiding 50+ million dollars from the public and other agencies while crying broke. This park used to be $5 for day use. Then it went to $7, then to $10, and now they want $12. Outrageous. Even though I loved going here, I will not return again unless fees are reduced.

Beals point is a nice recreation area for kayaking, playing in the water, bbq on the grass. It is $12 to drive a car in, but if you are just going with minimal stuff you can walk in for free.

this park sits out on a penninsula, so there are beaches on all three sides of the parking lot. The north beach is the sandiest and has life guards, while the other two sides are natural decomposed granite and require a little hiking, but feel less structured. The north beach also faces into a little bay and is shallow quite a ways out, so the water there is usually pretty warm, nice for swimming. There is a concession stand, but I've never eaten there. overall, very good for family visits to the lake. Plus its a state park, so its clean and well run.

This is a great family spot with a ton a tables and a nice kid friendly beach.
