We stayed there for two days on both directions of our CA to OR trip. Friendly staff; very helpful. Nice laundry room but make sure you get on the schedule as soon as you get there. The sewer connection provided to be a problem. Our Valterra 90 that we have used for ten years didn’t fit in the sites new plumbing - it was too big. The second site we had coming back had a secondary drain that was part of the old system and was larger so we could dump. Lesson learned was carry other options. On our trip after this one, we had the problem again but was prepared. Older parks appear to have small 3” drains with smaller internal diameter. Mostly 30a but I think it was site 4 that had dual 30a so if you have a 50a rig and the 30a dual adapter you are set for the hot summer days. Great grass area for dogs. Easy walk to Love’s around the corner. There is an Indian/Mexican restaurant also. Don’t recommend it. Other fast food restaurants nearby. Overall it’s a very nice rv park to stay a few days to break up a long trip through the mountains. They book up well in advance. If you’re lucky you might score a grass site. They are very nice.

This rv park is one of our must stop overnight stays while traveling north. Just off the highway but minimal noise. The managers are the best. It is a close intimate park with the emphasis on its name. 4 stays here and more to come. 👍👍👍

Wonderful, calm, and friendly RV park! It's full hookups, and some of the sites are quite private with beautiful, large trees. The bathrooms and showers were spotless and very well maintained. It’s run by a lovely family—Josh and his family made us feel so welcome. The location is super convenient, close to grocery stores, utilities, and several restaurant options. Plus, it’s just a short walk to a stunning view of Mount Shasta. Would definitely stay here again!
