They claim to have clean bathrooms, which compared to some they are decent but they didn't have paper towels stocked or toilet paper. They were messy too. Also no one seems to regulate where people park or camp as the roadways were blocked constantly. They manager in the store is really nice, but it is a stretch to call it a general store. Otherwise the pool was nice and had a good time

This place gets 4 stars for being VERY accessible off the 108 freeway. It was in a lovely location, with lots of big trees. The showers were ok, and the bathrooms were mostly pretty clean. There was a ton of firewood left lying around, and we found that useful. But there was a lot of trash around the grounds, and that was sorta gross.

The showers were ok, and the bathrooms were mostly pretty clean. There was a ton of firewood left lying around, and we found that useful. But there was a lot of trash around the grounds, and that was sorta gross. Also, the bathrooms ran out of soap and the attendant/manager never refilled the soap. It was an empty weekend, so we had the place to ourselves, 5 couples and 9 little kids. If it had been any busier, I would have felt really cramped. Also,there was a playground that was visible from a lot of the sites and my kids spent hours and hours there. I really wish thete had been way less trash and m9re handsoap in the bathrooms.

Very nice little RV park in a great location. It does have permanent residents but the RV sites at the front just as you enter the park are great. Twain Harte and Pinecrest Lake not far at all. Twain Harte downtown is cool, nice restaurants and good atmosphere. Park manager, Cam was really helpful. Would certainly stay here again if we were in the area.

The camp was great. The RV spots are right next to the kids park which was perfect for us. Lots of shade. Clean facilities. Pool was nice. Owner was on top of everything making sure everyone had a good time. The only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is because of how close the RV spots are to each other. Worked out this time cause our neighbors were awesome. Will go back there again.

Hidden Gem! Loved being surrounded by all the big trees. Very impressed with all the recent upgrades to this Resort. Amazing LOCATION!!! Only 17 miles from Pinecrest Lake! Close to Dodge Ridge ski Resort and also has a pool and playground for the kids. Great place to stay.
