Snug Harbor is a privately owned resort  located in the "historic region" of the California Delta.   In 1997, the property was purchased and has been undergoing substantial improvements.  Due to its unique setting, we  were awarded the designation "2001 Best Small Park" by the California Travel Park Association, the top honor we can receive in this state!

Snug Harbor Resorts, LLC,  is located at 3356 Snug Harbor Dr., Walnut Grove, CA  95690  but we are physically closer to Rio vista when using the ferry on State Route 84, also known as the Ryer Island Ferry and Real McCoy Ferry.
Note:  street names of Port Lane, Starboard Lane and Marina View Circle are all located within resort grounds.

     Snug Harbor is a peninsula situated off Ryer Island, about 10 minutes from Rio Vista.  From Rio Vista one would use the Rio Vista (also called Real McCoy) Ferry to reach us by crossing the Sacramento Deep Water Channel, or the J-Mac Ferry on Steamboat Slough.   For those with very large RV's who visit us,  or those shy of using one of the two ferries serving the island, there's a bridge onto Ryer Island at the north end, accessed by Courtland Road off Hwy. 160.  Our physical address is:  3356 Snug Harbor Drive (On Ryer Island), Walnut Grove, CA  95690

     Snug Harbor is a family-friendly park perfect for those in our midst who love to fish, water ski, swim, boat, canoe or PWC.    As we get many visitors with children of all ages, we have a good supply of "loan out" games such as volleyball, croquet, bocce' ball, badminton and horse shoes for  family entertainment.  We have a nice small-child play gym near the office area of the resort.  Bike riding is fine in the park, but we ask that no very loud motorized bikes, cycles or scooters be used in the park to maintain our quiet, peaceful setting. 
Our motto: "There are no strangers here...only family, old friends and newly-found friends"

The peninsula on which Snug Harbor resides has a colorful past.   It was an original and natural island when the region was all wet marshes and no levees were yet built.  During the Gold Rush days, 49ers traveling from Sacramento to San Francisco on the Delta King or Delta Queen Paddlewheels would take the "midnight run" down "Steamboat Slough" and right past our shores.  Those with their own boats would stop and camp along Steamboat Slough, no doubt spending peaceful nights on our "island".  In the later 1800's the Blake family purchased a small island on Steamboat Slough. 1906 Survey Map.  It was sold, eventually  became a peninsula attached to much larger adjacent Ryer Island when the USACE used the north end of the island for a dredge sediment dumping site.  Starting about 1949, the Martin Family, who owned the whole peninsula, started selling off parcels to friends who wanted to have summer homes along the peninsula.  In the meantime, a popular camping resort cropped up.  In the 1960's got its present name, "Snug Harbor" because "Snug Cove" was such a perfect name for the cove created when the peninsula connection was made.  

     Snug Harbor has about all the amenities you'd want for a peaceful, relaxing and fun vacation.  And any amenity we don't have is very close by.  On site are rental "cabins" we call "Snuggle Inns".  We have a small store, gas dock, boat launch, dry storage, covered berths, open slips and side ties, shady waterfront RV sites, a few tent sites as well, guest docks, lend-out video and book library and very friendly staff.   For park layout, go to park map.

     Nearby (15 minutes or so from Snug Harbor) are 25+ quaint little restaurants you can get to by boat on the waterways,  or by vehicle traveling the Delta's "asphalt sloughs".  There's also 3 golf courses in the Delta, the largest being in Rio Vista, near us.  There's grocery stores, sundries, churches, medical offices in Rio Vista and Walnut Grove as well.   More information available about the Delta, Delta "Loop" tours, Delta restaurants, etc.  Use navigation bar to the left for more info.
