Thumb #4

We have been coming here for Halloween weekends for ten years and each year it gets progressively worse. There was an instant change in the 49er when they became a sun resort. There was less of a welcoming vibe from the moment we arrived after the transition. This year there was an obvious lack of staffing that was even worse than years past.

There was an instant change in the 49er when they became a sun resort. There was less of a welcoming vibe from the moment we arrived after the transition. This year there was an obvious lack of staffing that was even worse than years past. We described this year as the end of an era. Another thing that we noticed this year is it's looking more like a full time trailer park than a campground. And with all of the negative changes the price has gotten to a point that it's not worth the experience. Overall, if you're in need of somewhere to stay along your route I would say this is a solid spot to post up for the night, but for an extended camping trip it doesn't have much to offer.

Our first trip to 49er Village Campground and we enjoyed our visit. Very family friendly, friendly employees at the camp store, two pools (closed for winter) and a large hot tub - we didn’t use the hot tub but there were some who enjoyed it during our stay. Bathrooms were clean; we did not shower nor use the laundry services but the laundry room looked roomy and clean. We enjoyed the wineries and... Our first trip to 49er Village Campground and we enjoyed our visit.

Bathrooms were clean; we did not shower nor use the laundry services but the laundry room looked roomy and clean. We enjoyed the wineries and small towns close by. The Pokerville Market is directly across the street from the campground and we didn’t find the prices to be outrageous. The grounds back up to hillsides with cattle. Enjoyed hearing them mooing. Lots of frogs at night, too! It was obvious there are many full-time residents but overall their spots were kept up and only a few seemed to need attention. Did not deter from our experience. We stayed in spot 277 which is a pull through. We had to park the truck perpendicular to the trailer (as did almost all other spots). We did expect a bit more room but we made it work. The general store had cute items as well as plenty of essentials for camping/trailer needs. Overall, a great stay. We will be back!

The grounds are clean and staff is very helpful. They helped us back into our site which was appreciated since it's a cul-de-sac and very tight.

If you are seeking a site for a home base while you tour this historical area, this campground will work. The sites are very small, short and close to each other. We had to park our truck in the site parallel to our camper, which took up almost all of the site. Quite a few campers are obviously full time. If you have children, there is no place for bike riding or an area to play. I felt it was worth a review especially for those with children.

This a quaint RV park with limited shirt term RV spots. It is about 45 minutes to Calaveras, 15 minutes to Jamestown Railroad, and 2 hours to get to the Yosemite Valley. It is a very quiet place to stay. Spots are a little short, so with our tuck pulled in, there wasn't much space. However, this wasn't a trip where we just hung out at the camp ground.

From the Sacramento area, there are a few ways to get here. Check the map and directions ahead of time so you know how you're driving and are comfortable with the roads and pulling a trailer.

We really enjoyed our stay at 49er ranch. The staff are very friendly. We walked along the road into Columbia historic park, took around 15 mins. We panned for gold at the park which was a great experience. Our plot was by the road, so there was a little noise but not too disturbing. The facilities are clean, and we were really pleased to be able to use the laundry and have wifi here. Would recomm... We really enjoyed our stay at 49er ranch. The staff are very friendly.

The 49er RV Ranch is an amazing place to stay! I will never forget the kindness of the owners and maintenance when our trailer broke a leaf spring hanger. They were gracious and helpful while we repaired the trailer. One of my favorite things about this park is it is clearly family owned. You can also tell how much they care about it. The grounds are well maintained and it is such a fun atmospher... The 49er RV Ranch is an amazing place to stay!

One of my favorite things about this park is it is clearly family owned. You can also tell how much they care about it. The grounds are well maintained and it is such a fun atmosphere with the gold mining theme throughout. It is also a great location. It is easy to get to many of the amazing places to see in the area. I highly recommend 49er RV Ranch!

Hi Fellow RV'rs. This was our first trip to the park, I didn't do my home work before I went there. The web site is a little bite over glorified for what it is. The staff was wonderful and very helpful and John was GREAT. BUT. Pictures and Inf. of what is there dose not quite make since. Not a lot of room for parking and trying to put your rig in is a little challenging but there willing to help.... Hi Fellow RV'rs. This was our first trip to the park, I didn't do my home work before I went there. The web site is a little bite over glorified for what it is. The staff was wonderful and very helpful and John was GREAT. BUT. Pictures and Inf. of what is there dose not quite make since. Not a lot of room for parking and trying to put your rig in is a little challenging but there willing to help. And the list goes on, very very old school environment and worn down. Please read other peoples reviews before going there, make sure that's what your looking for. Also the road noise is terrible, but that's not there fault. Also a lot of very hard working early morning people going to work stay there. No water at the water wheel. Complained three times. Over all it was OK. Thanks Tony and Linda and puppy.
