In over 20 years of RVing this is the strangest park we have encountered. The guy working as the host acted like he didn’t want to be here. Instead of giving us a map with directions to our site, he drew them on a laminated map of the park that was taped to the counter. The directions were minimal. Because of the poor directions, we ended up in the wrong site. I had trouble connecting to the utilities and contacted the host. He told me that I hadn’t pulled up to the “red line,” but didn’t say anything about being in the wrong site. He hadn’t mentioned the “red line” when giving directions. We discovered that we were in the wrong site when a fellow camper arrived. We apologized and moved to the correct site. This site had a 50 amp plug, but only had 30 amps. When I asked the host about this he said that I’d have to talk to the owner about it. The pull-through sites are laid out in tandem, with one behind the other. It you are in the rear site, your tow vehicle is blocked in and you may have to back out when leaving. The utilities are located at the far ends of the sites instead of being in the middle. Depending on where the connections are on your RV, you may have trouble connecting. The interior roads are narrow and lined with large boulders which makes maneuvering a large RV difficult. Also, the many trees hamper satellite reception.

Despite its age, this is a very nice park. Although, it was obviously built before the evolution of “big rigs”, it has plenty sites that will accommodate 40+ ft. / quad slide coaches. The layout in the older section is a bit weird. It appears that the original designers were trying to avoid the parking lot look. However, it works. The facilities are clean and it has all of the required amenities; pool, spa, exercise room, meeting rooms, etc. The office staff is courteous, professional, and helpful. It’s a short walk to the Trolley stop, which will take you almost anywhere in the area. I deducted 1 star for the extra cost WiFi. Any park that calls itself a resort, WiFi should be included in the rental fee. I also deducted a star for its worn look, road noise (I-8), lack of rules enforcement, etc. Although it’s not cheap, but it’s more reasonably priced than others in the region. The rate listed is based on the monthly rent. We will be returning for each winter holiday season.

This is a great park! The staff truly understands customer service. They're always friendly and accommodating. They have a small pool and spa, which is nice. It's fairly new, so the trees are small and don't give much shade. There is a wide range of site sizes and locations to meet individual needs or requests. The park is well maintained and clean. We stay here a couple months in both the spring and the fall as we transition between the desert and the coast. Good cable TV and free Wi-Fi. Only one small problem, some of the river sites have trees blocking the satellite TV signal. Otherwise, all is good.

Over the past few years we’ve enjoyed our stays at this park. Prior to retirement we would stay for a week at a time either visiting family or attending training conferences in the area. It was a nice park, but is losing it. The last two visits (Labor Day week, 2009 and the months of August and September, 2010) have been plagued with problems and it seems to be getting worse. While the office staff is generally friendly, most of the clerks can best be described as loopy or dizzy. They refer even the simplest decisions to the manager. It seems that only she can make these. There have been multiple problems with the water supply and the electrical power. Overall the power grid is weak. The voltage is low and there are frequent outages. We had three during out last visit. Water pressure is also low and we had four episodes of no water or very low pressure. There weren’t any adjustments or compensation for these problems! The dog run and many of the common areas are over run with burrs and puncture vines. Not a pleasant experience for pets, children or bike tires. The were several guys riding around on golf carts, but other than picking up a few bits of trash and sorting out the recycles, no one could figure out what they did. During our early visits they had a great, but additional cost Wi-Fi service. In later visits this had degraded to a pathetic hot spot near the office. At the end of our last visit, the service was expanded to park wide, but was still weak and inconsistent. When we went to check out, they had a tremendous amount of trouble calculating our final bill. Apparently the electric meter was not read at the end of the month and since we stayed five days into the next month, this confused the office staff. When I tried to suggest as simple solution, the manager got defensive. With all of the infrastructure problems this park has they need to be more attuned to customer service. We may return if staying there fits our plans and needs, but won’t be staying long term. Daily rate is based on monthly charge.

We stayed here for a week last Thanksgiving and had a nice site on the upper level. When we inquired about long term (monthly) reservations, the manager curtly told us that she starts taking the next year’s reservations at 9:00am on January 2nd. She said this was first come – first served. You could come to the park and stand in line or call in. She claimed that she alternated between the two groups. We found this hard to believe. We played her game and started calling in at 9:00 on the 2nd. It took us 40 minutes to get through. We wanted the months of June, July and August, but she said that August was already full. So we took what we could get. At this time we asked about the billing for the partial month since we would not be arriving until the 5th and were told it would be prorated. Although she knew the size of our motor home, we arrived to find that we were assigned a marginal site which next to a dilapidated RV on a trash cluttered site. Our site was on the lower level across from the office which is a high traffic area. When I asked for a different site on the upper level, I was essentially told, "No Way!" I then asked about the possibility of extending our stay into August and her response was a rude, “NO!” When I went to pay for the 2nd month, I was charged for the full month and when I asked about prorating, was told that they only charge by the day, week or month and don’t prorate. This would be an OK park if it were not for the manager’s rudeness and her having no concept of customer service. It’s amenities are limited (no pool or spa or playground), WiFi costs extra and the grounds are sorely in need of maintenance. On the positive side; the laundry and restrooms are clean, it’s reasonably priced for the area and very quiet. Too bad the manager is such a w***h.

Relatively new park with little shade but extremely clean and uncluttered. Probably not a good place to be in the summer. We were looking for a winter retreat site and found it pricey and pretentious. Long-termers are relegated to the perimeter sites next to a busy road. The traffic noise didn't bother us, but our coach is well insulated and due to the cold weather, we weren't outside much. Lots of planned activities if you desire that sort of thing.

This is a very nice and clean newer park along the Kern River. There are several long-termers, but most of their sites are uncluttered. Some of the restroom/shower facilities needed repair, but were very clean. Since it's new, the trees haven't grown enough to provide shade. Not sure we would want to be here in the summer. The only problem was the long-termers speeding through the park in their pick-ups. We will stay here as a full-timer in the future.

This is a decent, no frills park just up the hill from the city of Morro Bay. It's next to a mobile home park, but they do not share any services. No pool, no spa and just gravel sites. Mostly neat and tidy due to a six month limit on long-term stays. Weekend staff was friendly, but the manager is not so and has a weird way of doing reservations. It quieter and more spacious than the parks in town. It's also considerably cheaper.

Betabel is still one of the best on Hwy 101 in Northern California. Friendly, helpful staff managing a clean well organized park with great prices. The others in the area are either dumps or way over-priced and usually have management that is less than friendly. We stay here a couple of times per year when going to the central coast and at least one week each summer to get a break from the Sacramento Valley heat.

Beware of this park! Its rates are way too high for what you get and there are extra charges for everything; pets, Wi-Fi, better sites, pool access, guests, etc. There are two pages of rules that seem to apply only to those staying less than a month. It’s an old park that has not been well maintained. There are constant problems with both the water and electricity going off for hours. Most roads are rutted gravel and cause lots of dust. Plan on washing your vehicles frequently and keep your windows closed. Oh, it has a nice pool, however, on warm days it is usually filled with ill-behaved kids who don’t appear to be residents. It looks like some of the permanent residents are running child care businesses. The park caters primarily to transient workers or military who have older units that are secondary residences and look like it. If you must stay in Vacaville, there are limited options. Midway RV Park next door is about the same quality, but cheaper and fewer add on charges. There are also much nicer parks closer to San Francisco or in Sacramento.

We stopover here a couple of times a year on our way to & from South California. Nothing fancy, but a nice clean park with a friendly and helpful staff. Lots of long termer guests, which we don't mind as long as the sites are maintained and they don't disturb us. Not much nearby, so we usually pack that evening's meal or stop at Pea Soup Anderson's on the way down.

We're full timer here because of a job assignment in Vacaville. This park is OK, but well worn and overpriced. They charge Southern California resort prices for 2 star accommodations. There are up charges for everything; WiFi, pets, decent sites, and etc. There were lots of long termer guests like us. This park and a similar one next door are the only local options, because the trailer parks in town that allow RV's are all pretty trashy. On the plus side, the staff is friendly and helpful, it's very quiet and has a nice pool.

A great park and a goo value! It's in a countryside area, but close to south Santa Clara county attractions and the Monterey Bay. It is clean, secure and well maintained.

This appears to be an older park which is overdue for an upgrade. Sites are wide enough, but maximum length is only 40' which makes it a tight fit for bigger rigs especially when vehicles are parked in the driveway. Most residents are long term or transient workers types. On the plus side, the management is helpful, the park has a nice pool, the free WiFi works well and it's cleaner than most of this type.

The owners/managers of this park have gotten greedy. We've been stopping over at this park when travelling back and forth between Northern and Southern California for many years. Although they have a large pool and nice, clean facilities, it's not a high class destination resort. I just called to make reservations for this coming Christmas and found that the rates had almost doubled. What? For a narrow, muddy weed infested site just because I need 50 amp service. Oh, they've added WiFi, woopee! There are other parks in the area that I will be checking out rather than pay these ridiculous rates.

Best park in Flagstaff! Spaces ere easy to get our 40' motor home in and out of. We didn't care much for the red lava rock on the sites. Everything, but the dog run was well maintained. We felt it was good place for a short summer stay.

Typical desert park: limited landscaping and little shade. Lots of amenities, but some were on shorter summer hours. Pull through spaces are nothing, but stripes painted on blacktop. There is a price premium for better spaces. The park is set-up mainly for semi-permanent snowbirds. The staff was reasonably friendly and helpful.

A nice, big, clean resort with lots of amenities. It fairly close to all of the Tucson attractions. We stayed there at the end of June which means it was HOT! Customer service was very good and helpful. One great benefit is that you can get your RV serviced or repaired at the dealership for a reasonable price.

Typical desert park - limited shade, lots of gravel. We were just passing through from San Diego to Tucson. It's a bit far out of town, but we enjoyed the pool. Limited staff on weekends in the Summer, but the residents and security were extremely helpful.

We've been vacationing here for the past 10 years. Usually a week or two at Christmas and maybe a week in the summer. It continues to be one of the great parks and value regardless of location. Plenty of amenities if you choose to use them or you can just do your own thing in a clean, quiet environment. The park is always clean and well maintained. Only two minor complaints. 1. A park of this level should not be charging for wifi. 2. Customer service has degraded a bit recently as new and younger staff members are added.
