s. During this Labor Day long weekend, we camped at Turlock Lake campground with great excitement and enjoyment. Our group had 16 people and the entire time period was very animated.We entered the park with temperature soaring at 100 degrees. We got the site 59 and 60. The sites were almost at the end of the park. We pitched 5 tents on the 59 site and used the site 60 only whenever shade was required. It was very hot day to start the camping. The 66 acre campground located on the shady south bank of the Tuolumne River about mile from the lake. Our campsites were located near the river. The night-time temperatures dropped to the high sixties and were comfortable for sleeping. Quick relief from the heat was available from the cool waters of the Tuolumne River. The river was full of rocks, so was not comfortable for swimming. Inflatable boats are suggested to have a quick ride on the river. We spent the first day cooling ourselves in the river.
On day 2, we played volleyball and again went to chill ourselves in the river. Kids had lots of fun in the river. There was heaps of chicken, corn, pineapple and cat fish to barbecue in the pit. The campsite had lot of room to play shuttle badminton for kids and adults. Kids had lots of space around the campsite to explore. The temperature was slightly reduced compared to the first day. The night sleep was chilly. We were prepared for the cold weather.
On day 3, we had a nice Indian breakfast, slowly packed our stuff and left the camp site to the Turlock Lake State Recreation Area. It is a perfect place for day outings. We pitched ourselves under a tree with the stove and had our lunch. We left the area with delightful memories.
