This is the third time we have stayed at this park. The first time was in 2000, then again in 2003 and this year. There were about 20 campsites still available when we arrived here on Friday. Most of the sites are lined and well covered with trees. They are well trimmed so as to not get in the way of your rig, yet many provide full coverage of your rig from the sun. So, if you have satellite, you'll need to have a tripod to get the signal. Though they have a limited staff, it looks like they try hard to keep things clean. This is an older park. The restrooms are clean, but need a little TLC. The Laundry room looks fairly well maintaned. There is a large presence of 'Permanents' here. It looks like the permanent encrochment has continuned, but for the most part, it looks like management is trying to keep the park clean. We enjoy this spot 'cause it is an oasis in the valley. They work hard to water the grassy areas around here. The ball fields are exceptionally green for as arid an area as this is. The river is really low this year because of limited snow pack, so they may not have that water for a watering source much longer, though site water is from the city. We probably will come here again, but the hot summer months make this a pretty warm place, even in the shade. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
The sites were close together, so close we could not have a fire. The pool was not as clean as it should be and the area around the pool looked like a dump. Other than the pool area the rest of the campground was fairly well maintained. The bathrooms were old, outdated, and needed some bleach. We camped here in a Motorhome.
While closed to only "monthly" renters in June 2005, I found out in early February 2006 that the park had been upgrading their electrical system to 50A service at that time. That may be, but the voltage was still on the low side. There were some improvements on the access roads, i.e. widening and scraping, but most of it was washed away with the rain while we were there. Bottomline, this is the only RV park in the greater Turlock, Merced, and Modesto area that even comes close to acceptable. We camped here in a Motorhome.
After staying at this park numerous times over some 5 years, we were very surprised this past June to find that this park is no longer taking overnighters or daily campers. They are now ONLY taking monthly renters!!! To my knowledge, this was the only full hookup RV park in the vicinity of Merced and Turlock, so make your plans accordingly. We camped here in a Motorhome.
The managers weren't the friendliest. The campsites are shaded but there's not much grass;
mostly dirt. The Merced River runs adjacent to the campground and some people were fishing. A large family was having their reunion while we were there.
This is an older campground but the showers and restrooms were clean. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
