over night boat storage on the Delta

I'm coming from Willows to spend a couple of days on the Delta. Ideally, I'd like to fish one day, leave the boat and trailer, drive to San Jose to see grandkids and return the next day and fish before heading North. Any places where I could return and everything would still be on the boat? Any help...

Re: East Park Reservoir (near Stonyford)

fishing has been slow, but, should be improving. There are campsites on both sides, the problem is, this time of year the lake is only open on weekends. Any rain and they close the roads into the lake. Before going call the Stonyford Mkt. to find out if it's open
