We found this RV park quite by accident and are glad that we did. The staff were great to work with, and the accommodations were perfect for an overnight stay. The park was very well maintained and clean, and they also have a small supply of RV needs in the little camp store, along with gifts and souvenirs.

It's an interesting place. The permanent residents are friendly. It's not a scary place. Beautiful almond trees. No bugs or rats. Very narrow sites. If you need a longer site or 50amps make sure you clarify that is what you are getting. The office and store were closed when we arrived at 3pm. After 3 calls we finally got someone one the phone. The park is clean but the pool is drained and we didn'... It's an interesting place. The permanent residents are friendly. It's not a scary place. Beautiful almond trees. No bugs or rats.

This is not a destination, but great for overnight on your way somewhere else. Laundry room is good, except that the dryers were more expensive than the washers! I pointed out the outrageous dryer prices to a ranger, hopefully they’ll take care of it. Not too much highway noise, it was quiet at night. Not a fun time for your dog, but the dog run is adequate for a pit stop.

Just a one night stay for us while on a road trip. The staff was very friendly & the park was easy to get to from Exit #25 on I-5. This is a smaller RV park with some shade & plenty of pull through sites. They have 2 small pools which would be great to utilize in this hot area of CA. The park is bordered by an orchard and in April the smell of blossoms in the evening/early morning was wonderful. T... Just a one night stay for us while on a road trip.

The park was quiet & a good place to stop for the night. We took a quick day trip to Coalinga snd were pleasantly surprised by the nice, small town at the base of the foothills.
