The workers try so hard with what they get. But you can tell they're struggling. The wifi suxs. They need bangers on the mowers since they have foxtails. If you are a dog owner, becareful and checknyour dog good. A vet bill to have them removed is 800 or more from the paws. Pool was cold heater doesn't work. They filled in the jacuzzi. So your really screwed on getting relief from the weather. Make sure not to use high heat on the dryers. It will melt your clothes, rugs, towels. I lost 250. Worth of clothes. No activities. Like I said workers are doing the best they can with what they have to work with. You can tell the owner doesn't care or spend anything here! Sad it has so much potential.

The staff is fantastic. But they can only work with what they have. And the owner of thousand trails is all about making money on more and more memberships. And not putting into making the places better. The pool would be nice if it wasn't so cold. The workers have been trying to get the heater fixed. But it's been out for well over 7 weeks. And don't think you're going to use the hot tub. Its been not working for 6 Years. I love going to the camp grounds that have working hot tubs. Since a lot of members are seniors. And need the warmth of the hot tub to help with arthritic problems, you'd think thousand trails would make this a priority!!! You can get your mail from Amazon at the paicine post office general delivery.

This park is a bit off the beaten path, but if you’re looking for a quiet getaway surrounded by wildlife and a nice home base for Pinnacles National Park, this is the perfect location! You’re about 20-30 minutes from both the park and Hollister which has all of your standard services and shopping, and you’re only about 1 hour from the coast as well! The staff here is incredibly friendly, and they take good care of the grounds. There are tons of squirrels, deer, and birds of all size which makes the park even more enjoyable to walk and drive around. Be sure to take CA-25 south from Hollister to Cienega Road past Paicines, otherwise you will be on a winding road for 10+ miles if taking Cienega Road all the way from town.

We had a lovely stay here. The location is great, 30 mins to the Pinnacles, 40 mins to San Juan Batista Mission or 20 to Hollister, super cute with restaurants and shops. Free WiFi at the lodge, outside of that there is no cell service. We stayed in a 6 person cabin, the kids loved the loft. Heavy rains caused some issues with the direct tv but they went above and beyond to try and fix it. Even offering to switch cabins if we’d like. Staff then brought us back a meat thermometer during their attempts after overhearing my mom say she wanted one. Which was probably the only thing the kitchen was missing. The thoughtful kindness was very much appreciated. Just magical all around. We will be back!

Updated review. This time we have a cabin. Absolutely beautiful and amazing. This campground has very nice grounds now. Very park like. The staff are amazing and friendly. The manager Stephanie is very personable and willing to help. If you ever get the chance to come here, I would highly recommend staying in a cabin. The RV spots are level and very nice too. Oh there are deer everywhere and lots of birds. Very relaxing place. Nice to walk around. Wish I could add pictures. Have some awesome ones.
