This is a Thousand Trails park that is showing its age. The sites are gravel pads and the internal roads are very rough with a lot of pot holes and the sharp turns are not big rig friendly. TT has changes their policy and has started leasing/selling many of the prime sites to the public which leaves us longtime members in the not so prime locations. The long term residents also have a tendency to leave their sites looking very cluttered and junky. There is no Verizon coverage in the park. On the plus side the staff was friendly and it is in a great location to go exploring the California Gold country. We camped here in a Motorhome.

The park is nice and we have been coming here for years. However, the park has made some policy changes and if you are a ROD member, you are not going to like them. We had to camp in the "A" section, which used to be the employees' sites and all of them are 50 amps, which means you have to pay an additional 3 dollars a day. This is unfair for us ROD members, since the beauty of this park, are the sites by the river. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This is a wonderful spacious park in the country. We camped right on the American River. Numerous hiking trails and lots to do in the surrounding area. The staff was very friendly. This is a good old fashioned campground in a very historic area. I would definitely recommend staying at this park. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a 1000 Trails/NACO/ROD/Encore RV Park, but is also open to the general public. We were here for the Memorial Day weekend, so it was pretty full. Was nice and shady, nice to walk along the shore of the American River. Well maintained park with very friendly and helpful staff. There is an "off-leash" dog area of about an acre next to the river. We had an excellent stay, and would vacation here again. Had some fun weekend activities for the kids and grownups, too. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a special resort for us in spite of a few shortcomings such as no cell phone or air card service. However, free Internet wi-fi is available at the Family Lodge and at the Country Store and a phone is available in the Family Lodge. While there are some full hookups available, they are in a nicely treed area that is away from the river. A newly lined pool is available with new pool furniture. Most of the sites have shade trees but there are still many that are satellite friendly. We often are able to get a site right on the bank of the American River with 30 and 50-amp electrical service and water but without sewer hookups. We never tire of watching the rafts full of people shooting the rapids and families of geese trailing their 6 or 7 goslings behind. The management and rangers are very friendly and are working hard to upgrade this facility and their efforts are showing improvements. With the proximity to the Sacramento area this park fills up on summer weekends so reservations are a good idea. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a very good park in a great location off the beaten path about an hour from Lake Tahoe.There are only a few sites with full hookup, and they are in a very tight, confined location away from the river. River sites and roads are not paved and do not have sewer hookups. They offer honey wagon service (on Mondays when we were there) for a fee ($15 for up to 3 pulls). There are three access routes (Shingle Springs and Placerville off Highway 50 and Auburn off I-80), but the Auburn access is not recommended, especially for big rigs. Shingle Springs is a little longer than Placerville but the road is better for big rigs. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

I stayed for free using my ROD membership. This park was one of my favorite stops this year. Apparently, thay have made some upgrades to the restrooms. There was a new mobile trailer with new showers and bathrooms close to the pool area. I had a very large campsite and was able to access the free Wi-Fi from my site. The nicely stocked camp store and deli with good food has 2 terminals for Wi-Fi access as well. The great thing about the park is that you can walk right into the American River from many of the campsites. The riverfront is long enough that you can tube from one end to the other in about an hour to enjoy the very cool water on a hot day. The main roads are paved, though the access to most sites is graveled. There were a lot of nice people at the park and the Rangers were very friendly. It is located close to Coloma and Marshall Gold Discovery park which was interesting to see. I look forward to returning to this park with friends and will stay at a river front site which is worth the lack of sewer hookup. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This park could use some updating. We camp at Lake of the Springs more because it's just a bit nicer. We did have a fantastic space right on the water's edge, but would have been nicer if the gravel was not so big. I like to sit outside without shoes if it's nice and the rocks were too big and sharp even through the thick mat we use. It seems like a little thing but it was annoying. I loved the geese and ducks and it was fun to watch the rafters go buy. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This is a member park and one of the reasons we will not renew our membership. First come first serve campground. That should not be for a membership park. The park itself was dusty and dirty. You had to be on a waiting list for sewer hook ups and all of them were near the pool and lots of kid noise. Interior roads were narrow, unlevel, dusty and not well maintained. Restrooms were below health standards. I expect more from a membership park because of the fees but the owners of this membership must be putting the fee money in their pocket because they are not spending it on upkeep of their parks. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Lots of activities for the family at this great little campground. We were fortunate to get a semi-shady site by the river, but the the nice spacious sites are away from the river. Friendly staff and nice fellow RVers during our stay. For a Thousand Trails' campground, I was very impress. I would have gave them a higher score if they would have more sites with sewers. However, the girls working the deli are all young and attractive. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Was comped as I was a potential member. I agree with the previous reviewer, its a nice park--but not special enough to want to be a member as there are several equally nice parks in the area. We had a shaded spot one row back from the river. Spots are gravel, but quite level. I entered $10 for fee as the site would not let me put 0. We camped here in a Motorhome.

For a membership park, this was very nice. The people are very friendly and the park is clean. However, the river sites are in direct sun and it was a little tough for our dog. The cost to join was $3500, which wasn't bad compared to other membership campgrounds, but up the road was a nicer campground that did not require membership. If you want a free weekend and you have a hour to kill, give them a call. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
