Park has paved roads and gravel sites. Host was very friendly and helpful and went out of the way to help. Campground was not full when we visited so every other site was used. If full, this would be very very close camping. The back of our RV was just about a foot away from the RV behind us. Hook ups at back of site so you may need extra sewer hose etc. We needed 30-foot of sewer hose to connect. Rates are as follows: back-in 30 amp $28., 50 amp $33. Pull throughs 30 amp $43., 50 amp $48. It's a good place to stay to visit SF Bay area via BART about 5 miles from campground. Wi-Fi was very week. Could be the area we were in. We used our Verizon air card and cell phone and they worked very well. There is no shade. Big grassy area in front of the park to walk dogs. No road noise but we did hear trains in the distance, very faint. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

On the property of fairgrounds: but just a dusty parking lot with spaces marked in chalk on gravel/dirt. Wi-Fi was very slow and seems to block some sites/addresses (such as U.S. National Park Service ?!) Hookups are at the back of back-in spaces so some might need longer power cords and hoses. Only virtue is the location: one of the very few campgrounds in SF Bay Area, with a BART station a few miles away, plus a mall and all major retail chains. Several nice restaurants in quaint downtown Pleasanton. There's a ton of potential, but apparently the City of Pleasanton and County of Alameda are not embarrassed enough to do anything to improve their only RV park. I'll return only because there are no other options. We camped here in a Motorhome.

It is a perfect place to spend a night or two. It is easy to get in and out, and fairly inexpensive. There are grassy sites. We arrived mid-day on Saturday and no one was in office and no one answered phone number that was posted. Another camper told us they encountered same thing and just parked in any spot, so we did the same. Security was present at night (after 5 pm or so) and told us we were in wrong spot, but he just changed the number on the papers he had for us and didn't expect us to move. Our only problem: we couldn't get the cable TV hook up to work! We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

The best aspect of this campground is its location. It is one of the few places to camp in the Tri-Valley area. The campground itself is very basic. Mostly mud and gravel, but with full hookups. Many of the hookups aren't ideally located and may require extra long hoses, power cables and sewer lines. There is little supervision and it is relatively easy to gain access to the campground by non-campers. Lots of grassy areas for pets. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We actually parked our 5th wheel here for storage while visiting relatives. The sites are very tight and difficult to back into. Our site was very muddy with large mud puddles. Camp host checked us in and was on a personal call while we waited for check in. This park was okay just to store our RV, but would not stay here if we were occupying the 5th wheel. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We stayed in park while visiting family over the holidays. It is pretty much a gravel lot and was well maintained and inexpensive. It's a good place to stay for an overnighter but not a "destination" park. Would definitely stay there again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This is the only real RV place in the area. It is located on the fairgrounds near downtown Pleasanton. Nice restaurants and abundant shopping near by. They have added Wi-Fi to the park which had a nice signal. This park has no restrooms or showers that we could see but we didn't need them. The RV park is not much to talk about but we are happy that it is there because it fit our needs when we have to be in the area. They have added an online reservation service which is nice. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We camp in a 32' vintage Airstream. We have dry-camped, and we have paid top dollar for ocean-view sites, too. Never have we found poorer value than here! $50 to dry camp in a dirt lot; one that smells of unremoved horse droppings and buzzes with the sound of newly hatched flies! $65 would have bought hookups, but you cannot find out until you arrive if you might upgrade your paid reservation to a full-hookup site. None were available at the time of our stay. And at this government-run facility don't expect a refund, or sympathy, from the apathetic girls from the 'hood the county has "working" here. Unless you want to dish about nail polish or loser boyfriends, they haven't the time of day for you. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

The park was nothing more than a gravel parking lot. No showers, no bathrooms, no pool, very small spaces. When your slide is out, it almost touches the next door neighbor's slide. The sewer and water is at the far back of the rigs. We needed an extension on the sewer and water. The office is very far away. This park needs a major overhaul. The area is pretty nice and with a much needed update with paved streets, paved sites, add a few rest rooms with showers, a little pool, a small office with a little mini mart would keep this park full to the max. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This park is nothing to write home about, however it is well located and one of the few options in this area. The spaces are quite close together and basically the campground is nothing more than a gravel parking lot. We camped here in a Motorhome.

There are very few RV sites in the Bay Area, and they are all just asphalt parking lots with little or no space between sites. So we tried out the Alameda County Fairgrounds site as the only other alternative. This is basically just a no frills place to park the RV and sleep. During the day, you better have other plans to keep yourself busy. There is lots of space for a tow vehicle. There are two separate RV areas, we preferred the new area which is level gravel with new hookups (although no cable TV). The fairgrounds have manned security gates to enter the site. There are no bathrooms/showers at the site. Pleasanton offers several nearby nice restaurants. This is a decent place to make a base camp with easy freeway access to Oakland, San Francisco, or San Jose. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Pros: For California, this park is inexpensive for a full hookup (sewer, water, electric). BART train to San Francisco is nearby. The town of Pleasanton is a good town to visit with plenty of restaurants. The long term and short term RVers are separate campgrounds. Cons: This is fairground camping and does not have any "atmosphere" and is more parking-lot style camping. However, it is great for a stopover or if your destination is San Francisco. The place is quiet. We camped here in a fifth wheel. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

They recently added a number of sites -- they are far superior to the older sites. (Ask for sites in the low 100s) New hook ups were very nice. But the overall campground is very, very basic -- there are no bathrooms, no showers, and gates are not attended on a full-time basis. This is a very convenient location to SF but there is absolutely no other reason to stay there. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Good place for an overnight stay or a couple of nights. Back in spaces are $25 and pull through is $40, however we were able to pull through into the back-in space. They are small as mentioned in the previous review. Watch out for mud during the rainy season. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

The only thing going for this facility is location. If you are visiting this area, places to stay are few and far between. The RV area was redone last year, I hoped they would bring it up to todays RV needs, they didn't. My 40' MH with 2 slides just fit in a back-in site, not enough width for my toad, forget the awnings. Hookups were OK, needed extra sewer hose to reach. For extra length, pay $10. more for a pull through. Fair grounds are in a nice area, and gates are guarded at night. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This park is located at the Alameda County Fairgrounds. It can get crowded based on what events are happening at the time, but otherwise you will easily find a space here. There are no amenities here. You won't find bathrooms, showers, a clubhouse, etc. There is a golf driving range and a satellite racing facility near the entrance gate. The guard station at the gate is often vacant during the daytime. This park is great if you are visiting family or friends, attending an events, or just looking for a place to park for the night on your way through. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
