Discounts available at SMUD’s Rancho Seco Recreational Area

Getting away from it all doesn’t have to mean going far. Enjoy the last lazy days of summer at SMUD’s Rancho Seco Recreational Area – a complete vacation destination that’s just 25 miles from downtown Sacramento. And for a limited time, the longer you stay, the bigger the discount. Now through October 31, 2011, tent and RV campers staying three nights will get the fourth night free.

The park includes a 160-acre stocked lake (including Florida-strain largemouth bass), a variety of day-use and camping sites, a 7-mile nature trail and a general store. Windsurfing, fishing, horseshoes and bird watching are favorite activities at the park. Additionally, the park can accommodate group events and camp-overs. New this season are additions, upgrades and improvements to the recreational area including a fenced-in dog park, expansion of the tent camping sites, hot and cold water showers and refurbished portions of the rest rooms.

The Sacramento Municipal Utility District (SMUD) owns and operates the nearly 600-acre park. To see more of what the park has to offer, visit smud.org. For more information, call (209) 748-2318.  Reservations are required at least two weeks in advance for RV, tent and group camping and picnicking.
