This park is very well kept up and the staff is amazing. Josh helped me out when I arrived and then got me with a better spot to fit my trailer. I would highly recommend this place for anyone and if you have any questions ask Josh! He was very helpful and easy going guy that cares about his customers, which is hard to find at rv parks nowadays. Give this pace a shot when passing by. I would once again HIGHLY RECOMMEND this place! Thanks again Josh for the help and good talks brother!

Office service was great. Reservation worked well and we were given the pull through as requested. Electricity and water pressure worked well. Easy on and off I 5. Park would not meet Good Sam standards if rated today- very apparent the park is mostly long stay guests. Despite being next to an active rail line and a truck stop the park was fairly quiet. It is a well maintained, clean park with quiet guests.
