Ponderosa RV Resort

This is one of our favorite thousand trails locations. It's great year round.

Absolutely wonderful park. This was our first time here and we loved it! The staff was incredibly helpful and our getaway cabin was perfect for our family.  There was so much to do in this area too. We spent our days at the 2 local parks and walking the trails along the river. There is so much history in this area, we can't wait to return!

Always enjoyed staying here. Campground is well maintained and managed.

This is a beautiful location in a well-maintained park. My only complaint about it is that they don't have more sites available to reserve. Also, I wish they had electric vehicle charging stations

This location is a jewel and has been for apparently years, yet this was our first visit. It seems that a very large portion was flooded out leaving what appears to be about 1/3 of its past glory.  That said the demand remains with drastically reduced space makes this a challenge to reserve.   We were fortunate and had a wonderful stay for 2 plus weeks.  The staff accommodates reasonable requests as best they can while transitioning this jewel back to life.  We wish them well and hope to stay again many times to visit our new granddaughter.  Special thanks to Tanya as without her help the place just would not be the same.

Tania was so very helpful, and made booking our stay so easy!! Love love this place! The staff are amazing.

This park is broken. The electrical is so broken that they only have 29 sites available.

TT in California is an actual disaster... every single park in Northern California is seriously dilapidated and it's concerning bc they just keep pushing and pushing memberships with no capacity. San Benito, permanently broken, Morgan Hill, half the sites are closed for electric, Russian River, many broken sites and no bathrooms, Turtle Beach, many sites broken. This is not even addressing the seriously disgusting rigs they allow in these parks.... there are actual burnt out rigs, mice infested rigs and rigs that look like meth labs.

This is fraud, disgusting and absolutely ridiculous.

Parking lot was a great place to change a flat tire.  Plenty of room to work, nice flat surface.  Would recommend.

Pros: location close to the river, a couple of restaurants near by. Gorilla taco is walking distance with drinks. Bakery across the street has the best delicious treats not caked in sugar.

Cons: sites are poorly marked, lodge could be better cleaned up. Spiders are visible in webs, window and doors should be cleaned regularly. Rangers work from 9-5, so after hrs campers are smoking weed, loud music with bass, especially if your next to someone, food for thought it doesn’t matter what time quiet hrs are, no one wants to hear music and shouldn’t have to from another camper. Listening to music within your site is respectful, making others having to listen to your music is not! And again this morning at 6am I woke up to bass music.There should be a NO bass or loud music policy. No one reads the rules it seems. Fighting and yelling at 6am from the top of their lungs should be a ban from park. Some people are camping to get away from noise!! Dogs barking and some people go around the speed bump so they don’t have to slow. Full time campers have best slots by river leaving visitors and vacationers no chance to enjoy the river view as well. Crowded like sardines in slots that we can give the other camper next to us a cup of coffee, through the window. I don’t know if it’s like this always but it was my experience on this trip.I will come back next year but if it’s the same and nothing has changed, it will be my last.

Horrible experience on our weekend camping.
First the cabins only have 2 rolls of toilet paper when there’s 6 people in the cabin like common is it hard to put two more in there. Then we unfolded the sofa bed at night and the cover they put on it was so dirty I asked myself don’t they clean when other family leaves.it was disgusting but good thing I brought my own bed sheet.they charge so much more than hotel rooms and at-least hotels keep it clean.I also asked one of the workers if I could have my dogs in their cage by the pool area obviously not inside the pool since we were checking out and it was hot to leave my dogs in the car and he said that’s fine as long as there not inside….then this other lady sees us by the pool and says there not allowed by the pool area and I told her the guy said it was fine but we will go away. Then that guy appears and says he never told me that and made up an excuse of course infront of her. Very unprofessional .never coming back

We've been here lots of times and love the location and history of the area. It gets busy during peak season, but it's worth it. Being close to the river is a huge plus, and in the summer the water feels great.
