ABOUT THE CAMP

EcoCamp Berryessa is an environmental education camp located on the peaceful northern shoreline of Lake Berryessa. The camp 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 the visitor to the beauty of Lake Berryessa, which surrounds the camp on three sides. 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. The camp is located at 7850 Berryessa-Knoxville Road, just north of the Putah Creek Bridge. Consisting of approximately 10 acres, the site 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. In April, the site should be particularly attractive.

HOW TO GET TO THE CAMP

From Woodland or Davis

  1. Take Highway 113 to the West Covell Road/Road 31 Exit
  2. Turn west
  3. Continue on West Covell Road/ Road 31 toward the city of Winters
  4. The road will become State Highway 128
  5. Continue on this highway through the town of Winters, up into the foothills, and past the Monticello Dam
  6. Highway 128 will become Capell Valley Road
  7. Remain on this road until you come to the 3-way intersection of Capell Valley Road, Sage Canyon Road and Knoxville Road
  8. Turn right onto Knoxville Road and continue on it until you come to a fork in the road where you’ll see a lot of signs on your right for Oak Bottom and Spanish Flats and other recreational opportunities. Choose the RIGHT fork to stay on Knoxville Road and continue up along the side of Lake Berryessa. (If you miss this juncture, Highway 128 will take you up into the foothills, through some wineries, and away from the lake. You’ll then need to turn around and come back to the juncture to continue.)
  9. On Knoxville Road, you will cross two major bridges and go up past the Smittle Creek and Dufer Point day-use areas.
  10. EcoCamp Berryessa will be just north of the Putah Creek Bridge (the second of the two major bridges) right after the Dufer Point Visitor’s Center on your left.

There is a gravel road that will take you into the camp. You can drive your vehicle all the way into the camping area, but will need to move your vehicle back up into the upper parking lot after unloading. Parking spaces directly adjacent to the camping area will be reserved for the handicapped, Foster Calm staff and Tuleyome staff.
