This was our first time here. The spaces were gravel and level, we were given a space that was large enough for the motorhome, car, and still had 10' to spare. The sites had fire pits and full hook ups. Since it was the off season, we did not have cable TV or pool but there was Wi-Fi. The park is being remodeled and the owners were on site. The restrooms were freshly done and very clean. We had forgotten our coffeemaker and the staff pulled one from a rental cabin for us to use. The staff was very helpful. This campground would have received a 10 but the Wi-Fi was a little weak in our space and the mini-golf needs to be fixed. We will be staying again soon. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Very nice family campground and RV park. We were there on the Friday before the 4th of July and had the area we were in to ourselves. The Pool was nice but not heated. My children loved the water park it was the best I have seen and very clean. The mini golf needs some work but my kids had a great time with it. The playground is new. Very quiet. The bathrooms were completely redone. My kids are already talking about going back. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We have been to this park a few times and gladly return any chance we get. They have recently redone the bathrooms, store, game room, roads, and graveled the RV landings. Also just added was a children's splash park. Our kids, ages 7-16, totally loved it; as well as the old favorites of the extra large pool, mini-golf, volleyball, full basketball courts, and swings. Larger fire pits were among the recent upgrades which was good news for my pyro husband. The staff is beyond courteous, always ready and willing to help. They even have activities planned for the kids every weekend whether in season or not. The park is super quiet, very well shaded, and has paved roads. Stay here and you won't be disappointed. We love it! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This RV campground was very clean, very quiet, and a total pleasure to visit. The staff is helpful, and the amenities are clean. The restrooms are clean and some are completely remodeled with huge showers. Lots of trees for shade. We would recommend this to anyone who wants to "camp in the woods" and still be within driving distance of Jackson Rancheria and the gold country. We even took one afternoon and drove over to Lake Tahoe. Not a bad drive at all. Definitely a 10. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
Over the Memorial Weekend we stayed in Gold Country Campground, in Pine Grove, CA. This is a beautiful, older campground that is going through many renovations. The roads are newly repaved, all of the buildings, including showers/restrooms, are redone, and the pool area has been refurbished. They just built a great splash park, and are replacing their mini-golf course. A new playground structure will be there in a couple of weeks. The Rec-Room was redone, and was busy all weekend with crafts and games for the kids. The staff was very nice and helpful, and they made sure that our whole family had a great time. It was great to see so much effort put into this campground, and we will definitely return this summer. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
It all kind of depends on what you are looking for when it comes to campground reviews. Our family likes a nature sort of setting as opposed to the concrete slabs of some RV resorts. That being said, we have enjoyed many of those too, but this Jelly stone park is a real gem! :-) We were here about 4 years ago and at that point there were over 20 single wide mobile homes in the RV spots and the place was a real dump. We swore we would never come back here. Some friends told us that Jellystone had bought the park and were working on cleaning it up. Well, they have done a wonderful job. The park is spotless. Though the sites are not as wide as some of the Concrete slab parks, this one has character (in a good way) that many parks do not. We had no problem getting our fiver (with two slides) in to its spot. Though things were a little tight on the sides, there was a spacious area to the rear of our rig with a Picnic table and fire ring that allowed us that secluded feeling that we can't find in most other parks that we go to. Yes, the sights are dirt, but we don't mind this. They have installed all of the latest features in this park. The WIFI is wonderful, very reliable and fast. The pool area has been completely redone the Pool looks great compared to the algea filled mess from 4 years ago. Yes, there is still work to be done, but what a face lift in just a year since the ownership changed. The price was a little steep for our liking, but I guess it was in line with some of the KOA's in the central California Region. We will camp here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We had a back in site. If there are pull-thrus, I didn't see them. We have a small trailer and site was fine for us size wise. Sites are dirt and not level. Hook-ups are on wrong side. This was curious to us, because obviously recent work has been done on hook-ups. Maybe just too much effort to switch to correct side. Didn't appear particularly friendly to big rigs wit slide-outs. Pleasant setting. Staff fine. Kind of rustic, which is fine with us. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We have wintered in this park for the last four years. It has always been kept up and the price was right for what you got. Well now they have changed it to a Jellystone park and have raised the monthly rent close to $950.00 which does not include your electric or cable, it will work out to close to $1000.00. The nightly rate is going up also, they are not sure but it will be close to $50.+. They don't have the amenities for these prices. I know the showers and bathrooms are locked due to vandals. There isn't a playground for the kids, the mini golf course is tore up, there isn't a laundry room, and the rec hall is locked too. The grounds are overgrown and everything is dead, even the grassy area by the pool. They have construction going on where the cabins are, which isn't too bad right now. They are turning off the electric to all but 30 of the sites on September 1st so they can upgrade. They have been going to upgrade for the last two years. I'm very disappointed in this park now, it has a very unfriendly feeling and even though they got out most of the rif raf, none of the rules are enforced. You let the managers know about a problem and they say they will take care of it, but don't. Before this place was sold it was very busy all the time. Tenters and RV's every weekend and all summer long. Now it's lucky if you get a couple a month, very sad. So overall if your running late and want to pay a lot for an overnight spot, stay here, or travel down the road and find a nicer place. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Park is not big rig friendly. Sites are not level, very narrow, and no pull-thrus or WiFi (they advertise they have pull-thrus and WiFi but they do not). This park is more for small RVs or tents. Beautiful area, staff nice. We will not camp here in the future, and can't recommend it for large rigs. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This campground has new owners and they have really cleaned out alot of the old riff raff. We have spent the last four winters here and the last year we didn't travel at all. The campground is an older one and does need some work but the new managers are doing the best they can as fast as they can. The sites are fairly large they have plenty of room for slides, even a screen house if you want one.The overall area is beautiful if you like trees and wildlife, no noise, and no unruly kids running around. Every one who RV's or tent camps has a great time here. The pool is seasonal and its clean and large, big patio area. Large rec room, but who wants to be inside playing pool. The only draw back is no laundry room, but they may put one in. Overall this is a really nice hidden jewel We camped here in a Motorhome.

This park is nice. The employee's are friendly. Very clean park. RV area at top of hill has
pull thru's but no privacy more like a parking lot type of set up. Alot of permanant old trailers,but its clean. No laundry which they could use, but there is one in town. Lower area has back in spots. I have seen better parks and worse parks for the money. Its quiet,lots of wild life,we stayed here in the off season winter 2003-2004 in a Class A 36'. They also have tent sites away from the RV area. Lots of trees. We camped here in a Motorhome.
