We stayed overnight on the way back from Easter, in Northern CA. Campground is several miles off the highway. Self-registration was in progrees and reservations are non-site specific. Campground not very well marked for ease of site identification in the dark, but ample and level. We pulled in around 10 PM and found a site where the nearly-full moon shone on the water, directly across the camp road from the toilets. Pit toilets, very clean. Hookups for water and electric only. Lovely in the springtime, probably quite hot and dusty in the summer. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This campground is one of three in the San Luis SRA and is the most developed. It did not, however, have showers but did have pit toilets. Space 20 was shaded on both sides and had a view of the lake. There was a walking trail that ran through the campground along the shoreline. Dump station provided for two vehicles at one time. Self-registration was in process. Part of campground closed down. Other than not having Rest Rooms with running water, showers and flush toilets, this is a very nice place. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Like someone mentioned, the sites are short, so you park kitty-wampus across two of them, but for us in a 26' trailer it was no big deal. At the time we had a half-ton pickup and a 1-ton van -- there was room to park both of those AND the trailer in the spot. The park has no frills, but the bathrooms and showers were nice and clean. It's also right across the street from a Starbucks (my office on the road). The dog walk area has some *huge* climbing trees the kids loved -- they lived in that area for a couple days. We ended up staying for a week and decided not to stay longer because our teenage son was taking just a little too much notice of a teenage girl who was also there. =:) Time to hit the road! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Older park, clean and easy access. The pull thru's are all too short by todays standards and they know it. Was told to use two side by side sites and park diagonally, still had to unhook to get off the road. Not what I wanted in a overnight stop. No TV service provided and nothing over the air locally. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Stayed in this park for one night while heading to Oregon. Pulled in very late, after-hours procedure is find your own spot and pay in the drop slot. There are pre-marked envelopes for each available spot. We pulled into a nice level site with full concrete pad. 50 amp power did not work, ran the cable over to the next spot and it did work. No cable TV or Wi-Fi. Shrubs between each spot. There were plenty of sites available, so we did not have anyone on either side of us. I liked the park, can't say that I would ever stay there for an extended period as I just wouldn't have any need to be in Santa Nella. But, it worked great for an overnight park and I would stay again for sure. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Older park, probably built in the 1950s. Sites were rough and not level at some spots. Looks like some people live full time in sites near the back. Bathrooms and showers were very clean. Staff was friendly but not very knowledgeable about surrounding area. Would stay there again if in the area. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
I didn't know this park was here until I found a sign On Hwy 5 going north. I stopped and found the staff to be very friendly and knowledgeable. Their facilities were very clean and the park was very well groomed. I will stop here again and recommend it to others. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Pull through site was not very level. Hookups all worked. Office staff was not very knowledgeable about location of nearest public phone. None available at park. We camped here in a Motorhome.
An older park with adequate pull-throughs. The maintenance man had just given notice and wasn't keeping the place up (no paper in bathrooms, trash bins filled up, etc.) but this could be temporary. Permanent residents make up a portion of the park to the north, and to the west is a questionable manufactured housing area/neighborhood. OK for overnight, but we were ready to go in the morning. We camped here in a Motorhome.
I use this park as a one night stop when traveling I-5. Sites are clean, concrete, with full hookups. Convenient to truck stops for fuel, restaurants and fast food. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Well, you get what you pay for. At $25/night, the price is about right. We stopped here because the 2004 version of Trailer Life gave this a 9 for aesthetics. I had to check the rating twice. I'd give it a 6. This is an older park in need of some work. It's clean and everyone is friendly but we're inches from our neighbors. Concrete pads. Scrawny trees. On the plus side we are about . 5 miles from a cute 9 hole golf course and Anderson's Pea Soup. Unusual sewer hook-ups. We camped here in a Motorhome.
For us it was a place to overnight while enroute on I-5. Park has 85 sites but only 35 available, with all 35 paved pull-thru (42' max) with full hookups. Some freeway noise. No cable or internet. Friendly staff. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
