I went to the place for two special occasions, which were my senior prom and to see a fireworks show on the 4th of July with my family, both of these were a few months ago during my last high school year. The Grounds is a really cool place to host concerts, dances, proms, sporting events, conventions, and many more events as well. đź’–đź’ť

This RV campground is very odd. It is located kind of wedged in next to the event center and right behind the main office, but you can't access it from that office as it is gated off. Instead, you drive through a very large parking lot and wind your way to the very small (10 spaces?) RV area, which is difficult if not impossible for anyone unfamiliar to get too. It is quiet and the hookups are fine. Very no frills place, but usually has openings in a pinch.

Here at the grounds tonight, there’s people lighting sparklers on the grass. I get a clear as day video to show security and security proceeds to go to the wrong family even though we said over and over they were the wrong ones and showed them the video. They then walk up and down around the family making them uncomfortable while still blatantly ignoring the people that lit fireworks. 10/10 will never be back, multiple people around us said the same thing as well.

Grounds and Facilities are kept clean and well maintained. Parking is plentiful but often $15 per day. Gym facilities are nice with bleacher seating and clean bathrooms. No outside food in the gym facilities, but plentiful food trucks just outside.

The referees were great, and the property itself looked nice, but overall, the experience didn’t match the high cost or expectations. The boys’ side of the tournament had a small turnout—just seven teams, four from two clubs—but the girls’ side was much larger. The building felt overcrowded, with full teams sitting on the floor, in hallways, and in walkways. It made it hard to move around and created a stressful environment. There was no clear system for where teams should go, which added to the chaos. Parking was $15 a day, and the staff managing it weren’t helpful—mostly sitting around, not directing traffic or assisting guests. Coming into the venue was also hectic due to vendors set up near the front entrance, making it even harder to get inside smoothly. The bathrooms were modern and clean in design, but often out of supplies like toilet paper and paper towels. Despite strict food policies (including security escorting families out for bringing snacks), trash was all over the place, which didn’t make sense and felt poorly managed. We also had issues with communication from the event coordinator. Even with follow-up emails, we weren’t told how small the boys’ division would be until we arrived. When teams asked to condense the schedule to save part of their holiday weekend, the organizer made teams handle it themselves instead of stepping in to help. For what we paid—for team registration, daily parking, and entrance fees—it just wasn’t worth it. The event needs better organization, clearer communication, and a more thoughtful approach to guest experience.

I've only been there as a Vendor to the Sac Anime Spring events the last 3 easter weekends (2025, 2024, 2023) and loved the grounds location every time!! Ample parking, spacious grass area for kids n adults alike, and the location staff have been communicative! I have heard that the convention does plan to move but I do hope to go to events at this location as a guest in the future given my positive views of it.

Tried booking the ballroom for a bigger wedding and was actively given cons as to why this place was not a good fit for my event. I couldn't even get the person to let me view the place. She kept going on and on about how the event center is for sporting events and on and on. I guess if you aren't renting for a whole weekend or for a sporting event don't even try.

We stayed at their RV Park. While small (only 10-12 spaces they do offer full hook-ups, and while they don't offer cable, you can receive almost 100 channels OTA. The location is relatively quiet, with gravel sites and asphalt parking. Many restaurants and shopping within a very short drive. The only downside is that during times when they have events the Parking lots gets very crowded. Would definitely consider staying here again.

We come here for my son's volleyball tournaments. My first impression of this place, it's huge! Parking is not a problem but be ready to pay $10 plus the $15 fee at the gate to watch the games. It has good air conditioning which I like especially during the hot summer months. The restroom are also clean and well maintained. I subtracted 2 stars because of the fees and that one experience with the ticket/gate staff who said she cannot refund my tickets/wrist bands which I paid in cash. Refunding because my friend already got me tickets so I came back to the gate and the lady remembered me paying cash. I politely asked if she can refund since the way they record their wristband sales was just in a piece of paper/booklet with tally marks (weird for a huge venue like this, right), their apple pay was not working (it's not always working on 2 occasions I was there, coincidence?)... so honestly, she can easily just cross-out the quantities of tickets I bought and resell them... I end up standing there in front asking people who were paying cash to buy the unused wristbands from me. Good thing there were still nice people who bought the 3 wristbands but being out there in the sun, without shade whatsoever was what I hate most. Oh well...

Attended 4th July fireworks. Good view and fireworks were fun. Removed 2 star - after fireworks exiting the parking area was a terrible experience. People were cutting off each other, sneaking out from back as exit direction were unclear and not posted throughout the parking area. Thanks!
