This wonderful old park is really starting to show its age. The new office is nice but money should be into the park. Also the golf course is drying out and amy not make to the winter rains. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This park has a lot of potential. The golf course is a plus, and it has nice size sites with concrete and grass. The down side is lack of upkeep. The spa seldom works, the pool does not look clean, the WiFi does not work at all sites and management is not friendly and lacks in customer service. We were in the park for over a year. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This park has been going down hill for over a year, we stayed here for all most 7 months and have seen over a third of the full timers leave either because of the increases in rent or the poor management. Well never go back again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We camped here over Thanksgiving 2007 and were pleasantly surprised. The sites are concrete, level and clean. Though there were many nice rigs in the facility, it was very quiet. The golf course looked like it was nice as well. It's a nice place to stay, conveniently located right off of the Hwy 99. I would stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Have used this campground several times. Great place to stay and visit Sacramento and Jamestown. Sites are very nice, wide, level, and concrete. Will stay here again on our trip to Oregon. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Except for some road noise off of Highway 99 this is a great spot. They just added WiFi, the store is well stocked, the cafe is good and the golf course if not great is fun. The restrooms are always clean and the park is well maintained. The only draw back is a very limited cable system. We camped here in a Motorhome.
First off, they do not have cable TV, they have a cable antenna system which receives a few local channels very poorly, I recommend coach antenna if TV is required, reception is very good. There are many newly planted trees and probably an equal number of old trees providing shade. Pull-thru's sizes are fine, they have grass and cement pad for picnic table. Now the bad news, $45 per night for weekend is just way to high for this park. When I pay this kind of money, rest rooms should be top notch and up to date, WiFi should be in place, spa should be working all the time, etc. There is nothing in the area to deserve this cost (no Disney Land, water park, etc.) The golf course is currently 18 holes but I understand plans are in place to reduce to 9 holes so park size can be increased. The course is average in upkeep but fun to play, main reason we go there. This time we also had to pay for pets, $2 per dog per night, this is really a rip off. There is one dog run which is filled with pea gravel with a short fence around it. Nothing to warrant the additional charge. We most likely will return but will plan our visits Sunday thru Thursday. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This is such a pricy park with few amentities. Granted there is a pool and very noisy hot tub. You can't carry on a conversation because of the racket. Pets are allowed, but expect to pay extra for them. My electric for last month was $163.00. Voltage is low and expect to have some power outages from time to time. No internet or modem to connect to internet. For such a nice park and not many modern amentities. Their excuse is that people are "camping" and don't want or need internet. Geesh. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We have stayed here several times and do so for the convenience and location on our travel route. I continue to be disappointed with the so called "cable TV"... we get more channels with the roof top antenna. There is no wi-fi. For this price I expect more. There is a new park a few miles north on I-5 that we will try next time We camped here in a Motorhome.
Front desk was very unfriendly when we called for reservations and when we arrived. Very large park with a lot of potential But??? A lot of permanent campers with a lot of junk around their RV's. The grass around our RV needed cutting very badly. Mud in the area of the hook-ups, not fun to hook-up. They advertise that they had cable but that was a JOKE! Unhooked cable and had OK reception. No Modem or Wi-Fi. It does have a golf course but they need to spend time on upkeep. Roads and sites are paved and each site has a table. Wanted to stay here for 3-4 days but left after 2 (with no refund). This place has a lot of potential but it needs management. We don't plan on returning here. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Easy on and off of Highway 99. About 4 miles east of I-5 (French Camp exit). Has 18 hole exec. golf course. Clean paved roads, concrete pads with table and grass around. Nice wide spaces. Stay on east side of park (long term RVs on west side, a little tacky. Cable very poor, better with antenna. Odor from winery located about 1 mile south. Good buy on some California wine. We'll stay there again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Park is clean, has spacious sites in nice location. Newer park, with lots of grass at each site. Clubhouse, pool and laundry all seem clean. All sites have cement pad for parking and for picnic tables. The only negative was the smell of sewage in the morning air. This may have been a 1 day thing as we only stayed one night. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This place is clean and well laid out, but they nickle and dime you on everything. We had to be there for a couple of months, so we had to pay $20.00 extra a month just to park our extra vehicle, had to pay .02 cents a minute for the phone service and since at the time they only had dial up service for the internet, this got costly. We paid $40.00 for the phone then .02 a minute as I stated above. They charged extra for pets (fortunately I didn't have one with us). At night when the wind was blowing just right, you could smell the winery next door and it smelled just like fermenting gym socks! We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Very low voltages for such a newer park! Was told they had "instant" phone hookups, but when I arrived was told none were available for "just 1 night" and blamed it on the phone company. Office staff had a take-it-or leave-it attitude. Trees are all very young and small. Lots of permanents and their children all congregate around the pool most of the time. Horrible sewer connections that stick way out of the ground with a "T" and you have to use the side of the "T"?? Does anybody that designs or owns these parks ever use an RV? Obviously not! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Where to began? We pulled in this park dubious about all the trash, old trailers, and general skid row look to the place. We were shown our site on the water and decided to try to make the best of it. While hooking up we kept getting whiffs of a funky smell and assumed it was coming from the uncapped sewer hookup. After hooking sewer up and still getting a smell we called the camp host over to have a look/sniff. Well he ran some water down the line but afterwards told us the smell was most likely from when the wind blew the wrong way from the cesspool 100 yards farther down the road. Do I have to go on? We tried to ignore it and hoped it would be only momentary, but during the night we (my wife and I) were both woken by a horrible overwhelming methane odor. We hauled out the next morning after paying 1 week in advance. The camp host said "NO" to our refund request. We wouldn't camp even near here again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
