Great place to stay. Nice park, wonderful people who run the park, beautiful area to be. UTV/ATV trails leaving from the park, are a good place to rane off and ride for hours. Then there is the restaurant Monte Vista just across the highway with exceptional food. The 7/11 fuel station and convenience store is at the entranceof tge park. Really enjoy this park!

Highly recommend! Quiet, wooded campsite with a peaceful atmosphere. We went snowboarding at Boreal, and this was the perfect location—close enough to be convenient, yet calm and relaxing. The owner was very accommodating. Would definitely stay here again.

We love it here. The camp hosts are awesome and accommodating, and ever so sweet. The pool is really beautiful and well kept. It is a quiet park and there are a few more long term residents, which is great, nice and quiet, no ridiculous parties! Can't be happier. Its not far from Auburn where there is all the shopping you need.

This was a really nice place to stay, we stayed several days. Close to the I-80, but no noise. There's a gas/diesel (14' height on the overhead for diesel) fueling station right at the entrance...and very handy.

This was a really nice place to stay, we stayed several days. Close to the I-80, but no noise. There's a gas/diesel (14' height on the overhead for diesel) fueling station right at the entrance...and very handy. Pool looked very nice and has a small clubhouse, which wasn't in use, but looked good. The setting was mostly tall trees so, we were not able to use our satellite TV (though others could), and there was no cable TV...but the internet connections were surprisingly good...we were able to watch Amazon Prime and Netflix MOST of the time. The big plus were the CampHosts, Lori and Lois, who ran everything there...SUPER friendly and helpful. The place kind of runs on...your word and a handshake...informal and genuinely customer oriented, a bit of a rarity these days. Now, this was NOT a downside, but there were a lot of "full-time" residents in the camp, but i noticed almost all sites were well kept, neat and quiet! Actually, our last day (of five) met a couple of "good ol' boys" obviously in residence...i honestly wish we'd had more time, enjoyed chatting with them :) This was not "glamping" but was a sort of "Travels with Charley" Steinbeck-esque experience..i just wish i'd realized that BEFORE we left. If we're in the area, a do-again for sure. Last thing...we have a large 40' Class A...we got in, but took some adjusting to settle the coach right..and a few low hanging branches were worrisome (we're on the tall side too), but with caution they were avoided.

Took our new travel trailer on its "maiden voyage" to test it out and get out of the valley heat. Got a lovely shaded flat spot that was very easy to back into.

Took our new travel trailer on its "maiden voyage" to test it out and get out of the valley heat. Got a lovely shaded flat spot that was very easy to back into. We originally planned on only staying 2 nights and opted for a 3rd night as we were very relaxed and enjoying the quiet RV park. There are quite a few long term residents who are working up in that area and all are very friendly. We enjoyed an afternoon at the pool and then popped over on the short walk to the 7-11/76 station at the entrance for some cold waters and snacks. The ladies that work there checking you in or handling maintenance are very kind and helpful. We did do the walk to the creek. Take the milder trail that starts the other side of the trash bin. It's not as steep or rocky. There are some plastic lawn chairs at the creek to relax it while enjoying nature. We hope to return soon!
