I don't know why anyone would ever want to stay here. The smell from the dairy is horrible if the wind is blowing the wrong way. The electric amperage on a hot day is 108 or less. Low enough to damage RV components. Staff is friendly, but the smell is pretty bad. The stream water doesn't smell much better either. We camped here in a Motorhome.

O.k...Here's the deal folks. I live next door at the Tierra Shores Homes across from the dairy. The smell you smell when you stay there is not from the cows. Cows don't make that smell. I have lived on ranches and I have lived near dairies and the smell you smell is from YOU the campers! Oh yes, I have investigated this matter, and there are times I can't open my own windows or go outside due to the toxic smell. Wilderness Lakes will not address the inadequate sewage treatment center that is there in the back of the property. They are not tied into the city sewer and haven't been for years. I can't understand how anybody could camp there,let alone drink the water or go fishing and be confident they aren't within toxicity levels of polluting themselves. I never smelled it until after I bought my house and I never would have bought here had I known. We are in a serious dispute in the matter and have signed a petition to fight this. Wilderness Lakes should be re-named to God-awful-smell-camp-here-at-your-own-risk Lakes and should really take some responsibility for their waste-treatment system and get with the times, get green, get it fixed or get out. I can handle cows, hell, I can handle chickens, you know what, I can even handle the flies, but I cannot or will not handle the smell of you people who camp here and the negligence of Wilderness Lakes any longer. We are going to the papers, we are going to the city mayor, we are going to the EPA and the Santa Ana Regional Water Quality District, and we are taking this as far as we need to go to get this resolved for everyone. Happy camping! We did not stay at this park. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Very nice park. Get a streamside space! There are activities for the kids including crafts, a hayride and a train as well as miniature golf. Fishing in the streams is ok, not great. Staff is very helpful and if you are here as a "guest" you have to sit through the sales pitch. It is not that bad but if you are tempted to buy please barter with them. Our sales pitch started at $22k and by the end of the conversation it was down to $4k. That is not a typo. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We stayed here using RPI. The dairy farm smell was overwhelming on several occasions. There are a large number of birds here enjoyed by many of the guests. Herons and red-tailed hawks were nesting on the preserve while we were there. Adult swimming pool is closed in the winter but there are adult only times available in the family pool which was sufficiently heated. Washrooms and showers were adequate. At least three laundromats around the site but the total number of machines seems inadequate for the park when it is busy. Wi-fi was available but reception was not very good. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a great preserve in the Thousand Tails system. It is very busy this time of year. All site are well kept. Maintenance is ongoing including upgrades to the Country Store and new fitness center. We will stay here again when traveling in Southern California area. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

I read the previous reviews and found I do not agree with some. We did not smell the dairy nearby or experience any more flies than you would at any other park. The park has a lot of activities that will keep any visitor busy. We had our 3 year old grandson with us and kept him busy the entire time we were at the park. We found the park to be very clean and extremely quiet at night. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We stayed for a week in a motorhome. We enjoyed the park so much, we will return in May for another week stay. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Stayed here as an ROD member for free. Very large, clean park with canals for fishing. RV are laid out side by side with adequate spacing. May be too big for some people with so many activities and so many people active all the time. Wifi is only good near the office. Good area next door in field to walk dog off-leash and areas along canals with leash. Main complaint is the smells from the diary next door and the chicken ranch next door. When the wind blows from the Northeast, be prepared! Lots of noisy ducks, geese, herons, etc (including their excrement). It adds to the "wilderness" enviroment. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Park is located next to a dairy farm. Bad smell from the cows when the wind is blowing the wrong way. This park is not really in the wilderness, nor are there any lakes. The Lakes are actually man made channels. Fishing is permitted for a price and they have a program that will pay you to throw back the fish, but there are catches. Numerous trees in the park. Many trees were removed due to disease. Two swimming pools. Propane is available. Wi-Fi is available at the clubhouse only. There is a general store that charges outrageous prices. Pool is closed in the winter. This is an older park. RV storage is available. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a very busy and popular park with lost of activities. The sites are wide and level and very easy to navigate in and out of. The dairy farm has taken action to remove the odor. We will definitely return to this park. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Large park with ample space between sites. Due to the close proximity to a dairy farm, flies can be a problem during certain times of the year, but we did not have a problem during this stay. The canals running thru the park are home to some nice sized catfish. They also permit washing of RV's and autos on your site. Nice place to stay although limited to Thousand Trail members or RPI members. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Someone forgot to put in the brochure that it sits next to a cow farm with a horrible smell. Also, don't follow their directions because the road to the campground is closed and has been torn up. It looks like they may repave it but it will take at least a year. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This was the worst place I have every camped. Don't have a clue why the last reviewer was so sad to leave because I and the 2 other families camping with us couldn't get out of there fast enough! It is located next door (no exaggeration) to cow farm and the flies are out of control. I won't even go into the smell. We stayed there free and had to sit through a nasty sales pitch that never ended. Here's what I did like: lots of family activities, great country store and rec room facilities. I just couldn't get past the flies and the stink and I wouldn't eat a fish out of that green swamp if you paid me! We camped here in a Motorhome.

Great place to stay if your kids like fishing. They will actually catch a fish. Nice pool. Miniature golf area was nice. Site was level. Stream was right behind our site. Store was nice. We were sad to leave this camp ground. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
