A very clean and fresh park. It had great shower/restroom facilities. The grounds were well maintained. Large, mature trees provided shade: necessary in the hot summers of Chico. Not picturesque, but its downtown location was convenient. An oldtimer next to us commented that this was "the best park in the region." We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This is a nice park. A level pull-thru with some grass in between and welcome shade on a 100-plus degree weekend. Wifi was good and cable was fine. The owner stopped by and made sure we were enjoying our stay. We sure were! If we're passing through this way again, hopefully when it's much cooler, we'd definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This park was a surprise, very well maintained, nice grass areas and mature trees in the city. Wi-fi didn't work, but I don't think this is an ongoing issue. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We spent easter weekend here hooking up with some other family members. As others have stated, the location of this park is perfect. It is close to the highway from a drive time perspective, but far enough away for the highway noise to not even be heard. The RV park is in a suburb area of Chico. The 'Convenience store' has very little in it. No other retail establishments within walking distance of the RV park. There are a couple of grocery stores within about a 5 minute drive of the RV park. The WIFI seems to work fine and the Cable TV has over 50 channels to pick from. There seems to be a two class system going on though in regards to the way the RV park treats those with dogs. There are two rules in regards to dogs. Dogs cannot be tied up outside the rig and dog pens are not allowed. Well, we did make the mistake of tying up our dogs (we don't carry dog pens on board) and we got scolded for being in violation. However, there were others with Dog pens that they did not say anything to. We don't mind so much being told we were in violation, but it was the way the lady handled it, especially since they don't seem to say anything to those with dog pens. There is a dog park near the elementary school at Esplenade and Eaton. It is a great place to take your pooches to run. The sites are very clean and well maintaned, however the pads and the law areas are pretty narrow. The pool area seemed to be well maintaned as well as the other buildings within the facility. We would stay here again, but more than likely if we return to the Chico area, we will try some place else first. Happy camping! We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Small, quiet park, not far from shopping. We used as overnighter during trip south. Appeared clean with necessary amenities. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
A nice park; close enough to the freeway to be convenient but far enough to be quiet. Easy access to long pull-throughs, full hook-ups, nice pool and club room. The grass patches were small but well maintained. If you are towing, it’s only a five minute drive to Chico’s interesting downtown. The office has a reasonable small store, but if you want something unusual, you better bring it along if you aren’t towing. We will happily return to the Almond Tree. We camped here in a Motorhome.
While this is a lovely treed park in Chico, my negative review is a reflection of our personal experience there, as local residents who were forced to evacuate our home because of a devastating wildfire. The managers showed a disappointing lack of compassion and understanding as our community was held hostage by a massive wildfire that claimed 25,000 acres and 74 homes. During the 3 days we held the fire at bay at our home, we were able to get our coach to the RV park. While the community banded together and other RV parks and hotels opened their doors to the massive evacuation of almost 10,000 people, these managers were completely oblivious to the situation and were annoyed when we didn’t show up for the spot we had called to reserve the first night. Even though we paid for the spot we didn’t occupy and spent the night with hoses making sure our home didn’t burn down, their only comment was that a phone call would have been nice to let them know we weren’t coming. Unbelievable. Rather than showing an understanding that we had left our home with almost nothing except our pets and our young daughter, they made sure that we understood the rules about dogs and children. It only added to the negative experience when their lawn sprinklers in their extra parking area sprayed water all over our custom collectors car and when they watered our campsite at 9:30 at night (how about watering after midnight??) turning our spot into a swamp. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Very clean, nice, and small camp ground. I had hard time walking my dog because there wasn't enough grass area and the camp ground was tiny. However, there facilities were on great condition. Nice and clean pool area (music playing), bathroom, shower, and laundry. They only have 2 laundry machine so, you have to chose a right timing to do your laundry otherwise you will ended up spending whole day waiting. It's very much like KOA. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Nicely landscaped with long pull throughs. Good cable TV and strong Internet connection. Wife was not impressed with small laundry which had only two washers and two dryers. Rate quoted is Good Sam. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Very nice RV park, super clean restrooms, and well tended grounds. Staff is very nice. The sites were gravel with an eight foot wide grass area and patio with picnic table. The park is close to downtown Chico and all it has to offer. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This is a nice park. Wide paved roads and wide sites. It was winter and quite cold and we did get some gaseous smells from the septic when it was full. All and all a nice clean park. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This campground has wonderful owners that are very accommodating. Stayed for 3 nights and enjoyed ourselves. Do wish it would have had fire pits though, but the green grass at every campsite was very inviting. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Almond Tree is a great park. All the facilites are immaculate. The huge shade trees at each site were great for the hot summer afternoon we camped there. The pool area was great. The owners were wonderful. Will definitely return there. WiFi was being installed the day we left. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
The campground picture on Almond Tree RV Park's web page must be old. The campground now has good wide paved interior roads, nice lawns between sites and the trees are more mature. Sites are level hard packed gravel and drain well in the rain. The park is very well maintained and the clubhouse and pool looked new and were very clean. The managers were very friendly and helpful. Easy access from highway 99 yet far enough away that the campground was quiet. We look forward to camping here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
