Woodward Reservoir Regional Park is in Stanislaus County, 6 miles north of Oakdale. The 2,900-acre lake and its surrounding park have long been a popular family camping destination. Visitors to the park enjoy great boating, water skiing, sailing, sailboarding, and fishing. Swimming is popular because of high summer temperatures. The park also includes a go-kart track and a model airplane airfield. During peak summer times the park can be hot, crowded, and lively. Those seeking a quieter camping experience with milder temperatures might consider visiting in the spring or fall.
Woodward Reservoir Regional Park Campground offers 180 campsites for RVs, trailers, and tents. All the sites at Egret Cove (Huckleberry Flat and T-Island) and at Muir Point have full hook-ups. Many of the campsites are pull-throughs. Some sites are lake-front while all are close to the water. A number of campsites are on the tip of a narrow peninsula known as T-Island, which is connected to the mainland by a causeway.
While campsites at Egret Cove and Muir Point can be reserved, many other more primitive camping locations are first-come, first-served. These include camping at Fischer Point, Charlie's Point, and Mountain View Point. Restrooms and showers are provided at Muir Point (sites 128-147) and Mountain View Point (sites 148-187). Equestrian camping is permitted in undeveloped camping areas (A - FF).

Bodily contact with the lake's water ends every season, usually in late summer or early fall, and continues until mid-spring. The restriction is necessary in order to meet state regulations to preserve drinking-water quality. During this period most boating is permitted, but swimming, wading, water skiing, kayaking, and similar activities with bodily contact with the water are prohibited.
