My business trip kept extending to where I spent 71 nights here. The staff are great and very accommodating. There are a lot of activities for children and animal life to entertain. Everything from geese with their baby’s to ducks with little ducklings and a pet goat. A free Saturday train runs in the afternoon thrilling children and adults alike. I would recommend this park to everyone.

It was perfect for me to bring my grandson for a couple of days before he heads back to school. You can hear 50 especially on one side of the park. But the staff are very friendly and accommodating. It's not rain forest or way out dispersed. My grandson is 5 so he is happy making friends to play with. Overall easy to get to, good staff. Clean place.

Great RV Resort. They do have a lot of rules that I haven't experienced at other places, and you have to pay a $3 fee for any guests that visit - every time they visit. But, I had a great stay. Very family friendly. They have a playground, an arcade, miniature golf, and a pool. Also, they show movies in a large tent on the weekends. The office has a small store in it too.

The office has a small store in it too. Amenities also include laundry room, showers, and fishing from a pond. They also have a grassed and fenced pet area. They have cabins to rent, tent camping sites, and various kinds of RV sites. The grounds are clean. I will be staying here again.

Location is easy and convenient to Apple Hill, my favorites is plenty of kids amenities; train ride and the GRASS off leash area for dogs. The staff were constantly cleaning up and removing trash from the individual site trash cans !

Great location to enjoy the amazing and beautiful Sierra Nevada Mountains. South Lake Tahoe is merely an hour or so away. But there is plenty to do all around this area. I gave it four stars due to the heat. It can get very hot, especially if you have direct sun. It’s also very kid friendly, which is awesome for young families but not so if you are past that period in life. So if you have young on...

If you are older and looking for resort leisure it’s a 4.

LOUD Non-stop freeway noise!!!! Not relaxing our quiet at all. The low # rv spots are horrible for light sleepers. Had spot 15 booked for 3 days & cut trip short after 2 days. Would've left after day 1 & no sleep but no refund was offered when asked & we had a 2 day event close by so stuck it out for 2 days. Pool area is nice but always crowded.

Pool area is nice but always crowded. Freeway noise never stops despite late night or early mornings & can be heard through entire campground. Stay anywhere else if you value sleep or quiet when camping.
