I wanted to take a better look in the riverside west park but it was closed up for the season.
The area in riverside west that I picked out is site numbers 14-25. Sites 5-10 and 26-28 are very close and can be used as overflow if needed. Reservations are open on December 3 on Recreation.gov.
El Dorado Lake was alright and had some really nice areas. The nicest ones were very close together but at a gathering I wouldn't mind. I wouldn't want to camp next to strangers that closely though. Overall IMO there are better locations to have a gathering but it would be fine for a stopover or fishing trip.
