Riverbank Park Reservations: Group Camping Is Restricted to Organizations and Nonprofits

RIVERBANK — November 2, 2026. Riverbank’s park rental rules distinguish picnic tables, the Jacob Myers Park wedding gazebo and the McRitchie group campsite.

What group camping costs

The city’s posted fee schedule gives a $100 deposit and a $50-per-night or $200 day-use charge for McRitchie Campground, which is limited to organizations and nonprofits and has a capacity of 50 people. Overnight use requires insurance.

Picnic and wedding sites are different

The Riverbank booking list sets separate rates for Rotary and Oak Grove picnic areas, while the wedding gazebo has a larger rental fee. Bounce houses are explicitly prohibited at several named facilities.

Parking fees may still apply

Guests attending a reserved event may still need to pay Jacob Myers Park seasonal vehicle parking fees, which the city says are not waived by a park reservation. Check the fee schedule and obtain confirmation before collecting event money.
