Nice stay at this quiet, well maintained small RV park near the Fairgrounds. The Staff is excellent...I had a few questions before our RV trip and my emails were promptly answered. Check In was efficient and they prepare in advance for guests. Hookups work great , WiFi available but we just used our phone data Hotspot. There is a cute little park area with a gazebo and BBQ, dogs are welcome, rest... Nice stay at this quiet, well maintained small RV park near the Fairgrounds.

There are some long term residents likely here for work in the area, and I found everyone quiet, respectful and clean. The little town is nearby and has several great coffee spots and restaurants. I would absolutely stay here again.

I was pleasantly surprised with how nice this park was. Off the beaten path, quiet, clean, and a very large area next door to let the dogs play. I was in a 36 foot 5th wheel and had plenty of room. I will definitely visit again.

Very close to the Plumas Sierra County Fair Grounds. There are hiking trails, play equipment, and a skate park in the Fairground park.
