A work in progress? The owners seem to be slowly upgrading this dated, run-down, recently converted KOA. OK for an overnight. Hook-ups at the extreme rear of the pull through we were in. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Nothing fancy but everything worked. The staff was very nice. Wi-Fi free but a bit slow. Mild freeway noise when outside, nothing you don't block out and we couldn't hear it inside. Closest grocery in Los Banos, about 8 miles. Gas and fast food plentiful in Santa Nella. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Nicely laid out park with good site access. For travelers with dogs there are two fully fenced dog runs so your dogs can stretch their legs. We arrived after hours but check in was simple with per-numbered sheets for open sites. Will definitely stay again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This park is nicely laid out, back in sites are a little tight but the drive throughs are bigger. All sites have concrete drives and patios. All roads are paved, in good shape and are wide. Staff was friendly and knowledgeable. We will be back. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Long pull through sites, so we were able to pull through with a 30' motor home and toad. Trees and grass throughout park. Two fenced dog runs that were clean. Friendly staff. Convenient to I-5. Some seasonal but no problem this time of year. Only negative was sewer was very far back at site and hard to reach. Stayed here twice in one week on way to and from San Francisco. We camped here in a Motorhome.

A good option in the area if you need shade. Dogs are very welcome, and you can pull in OTA TV stations as an option to the cable. Well off the freeway. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Quiet park with friendly staff. Dog run was ok. We've stayed here before it was a KOA. Nothing seems to have changed except the price went up. Nice swimming pool and well maintained. The Petro travel station nearby makes it convenient for fuel. We will stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Great park and great staff. They even set up the club room for a reception following a Memorial Service at the nearby National Cemetery. They have done so many improvements. Cannot wait to stop in again to see what they have done on our next trip this way! We camped here in a Motorhome.

The staff was very friendly from the beginning. We stayed 9 nights from May 1 through 9. Clean shower/rest room. Nicely stocked store along with a game room and a sparkling pool. Nice fenced dog run areas where dogs can run off leash under supervision. Poo bags provided. On May 5 the management threw a family friendly Cinco de Mayo dinner with loads of delicious food and soft drinks. Seems they do something for every holiday. Very kid friendly so watch out when you are driving around the park. I will return when I am in the area. We camped here in a Motorhome.

The people who run the park could not have been more helpful or nice. After we set up, the gentleman came by and asked again if we needed anything. Interior roads are gravel and mostly level. We only planned on spending the night and did not want to unhook the trailer and the pull through sites fit my needs perfectly. I'm glad I went to this park. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

I spent one night here while traveling down Highway 5. All the sites are pull through. I was able to park my 30 foot travel trailer and 20 foot truck in the site with out having to unhook my truck. The sites are dirt, bordered by grass on both sides. I needed a 1 inch board to level my trailer side to side. Each site has a picnic table. There appeared to be 10 – 15 full time residents in the park. The bathrooms, showers and club house facilities were clean. There was minimal noise from the highway. The Wi-Fi was free but I kept getting timed out on my connection. The night and morning I was there, it was extremely windy. Wind gusts rocked my trailer even though I had the tongue jack and four stabilizers down. I would stay here again if I needed a place to stop over night. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Nice enough for an overnight stop although there is another park closer to I-5. This one is about 4 miles from I-5. There's a small store and propane available. The spots are mostly dirt, and with all the rain there were a lot of puddles. Bathroom and shower were clean. I would stay here again, but would probably chose the one closer to I-5. Cable had the main channels, and WiFi worked well. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Formerly San Luis RV Resort, became KOA on October 1, 2010. This is a large park off SR 152 just west of I-5. This is an alternative to the other RV park in Santa Nella that is on the main road SR 33. This park sits back from the highway and noise is minimal. The pull through sites are all 50 feet long with utility pedestals/sewer placed at the back end of each site. The sites are level and interior roads are gravel. There are still 17-20 long term residents, some not in very good shape. The decor is classic KOA and we found the staff friendly and helpful. They provide CATV at each site and free Wi-Fi is available. The park still needs some sprucing up, the old park still shows through. Our navigation program had the old park located incorrectly on the west end of Gonzaga Road, when it is east from the Petro station, so check the directions carefully. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This place almost got a higher rating, but the TV reception is nil and there is no cable TV. Wi-fi worked good though. Don't know if it works throughout, but we took a spot right near the office. Nice pool, clean place. Definitely a great place for a one nighter. On our way home and it fit the bill nicely. Got a 50 amp spot under a huge tree in the 100 degree heat. Would stop here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Needed a place for one night with electricity. Older park but the front sites are well kept up. Office staff was very friendly. Bathrooms and showers were immaculate. Very dog friendly. Staff allowed me to take dog off leash and chase a ball for 20 minutes to burn off energy after our long drive. The price was right. We got six channels on TV antenna. The free Wi-Fi worked well. I did not experience the ant problems referred to in earlier reviews. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Not many choices in the area, we stayed here over-night on our way South, $25 was about the right price. Sites were level gravel/dirt with shade trees. Wi-Fi worked good, no cable TV. Highway noise (Hy152) was steady. Older campground, could use some fixing up. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

I would not stay here again. Very big ant problem in the entire park, and folks that have been here a while said it is a long term problem. Every site is packed with ants. They climb up your water hose and into the coach! Very little grass, mostly dirt park. If you have a Class A, the trees are very low and it is almost impossible to maneuver the park without seriously scraping your roof. I broke my A/C shroud going less than 5 mph. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We stayed for several nights as we made day trips to see Monterey and Big Sur. The facilities are old and the restrooms need an update. Some of the spaces are big rig friendly, but many are not due to low branches. The road and pads are gravel with lots of stickers and dead grass. The swimming pool was in great shape but the water was icy cold. We liked the quiet and the rate. We would stay again for an overnight. The campground would not accept membership discount, but provided their own 10% discount authorized by the new owners. Our GPS recognized the address if the Gustine was entered as the city. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This was a good location for an over nighter. The sites are gravel, but many have large shade trees. This is no longer a Passport America or GoodSam discount location, but the prices are very fair anyway. Very nice friendly staff. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a little, older campground that was recently taken back over by the original owners. It had been let go in a big way, and the original owners are trying to get it back into shape. The owners are very sweet and helpful, and could not have been nicer. We've stayed in several RV places up and down the I-5 corridor over the years, and this one was by far the nicest, and the most quiet. Very peaceful setting, large level gravel sites (we didn't have to unhook our tow vehicle) with good hook-ups). It's located about a mile or more off I-5, on the west side of the Highway 33/152 exit. Easy I-5 access, and right down the road from several gas stations and restaurants, which is always good on this isolated stretch of I-5. Very peaceful and pleasant. It would be a great spot for a get-together or rally, as they have a very nice covered patio area (with barbecue) outside a large meeting room. An altogether pleasant experience, and we'll definitely be back. They did cancel their Passport America membership, but at $24 we couldn't complain! We camped here in a Motorhome.

They now have free Wi-Fi, get the password at the office. Level pull-thrus, big trees for shade, restrooms were clean. Traffic noise from Hwy 152 is constant. TV antenna picked up six channels. Good over-night stop for us. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We were here with a group and received a very warm welcome from the family running the place. They are great people. This is a perfect spot for an overnight or for a couple of days while you explore the area. It's a very old park with improvements in the works. Wi-Fi would be nice. Highway noise could be a problem for light sleepers, but not for us. We'll be back when we pass this way again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This rate was a Passport America rate. The managers are very nice and accommodating. This park is an excellent spot to stay the night as you're traveling I-5. The diner at the Petro 2 station has excellent breakfasts. We've stayed here before and noticed the improvements they're making to it. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

There are 3 reasons why we would stay here again: 1-proximity to I-5 (1-1/2 miles), 2-free vehicle wash area (!!!), and 3-very reasonably priced with full hook-ups. I would not stay more than one night as it is a pretty bare bones type of campground in the middle of nowhere. Campground is under new management. Staff courteous. We stayed in #72. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This campground is very poorly maintained. They have a severe ant problem. We were infested with ants for days, as were other travelers. We did everything we could, and finally decided to leave. The girl at the office was not knowledgeable and did not offer help with the ant problem. I asked for a refund for the days we were not going to use. I was told to come back for the refund. I came back and talked to the manager. She was extremely rude, and refused to give back the remainder, blaming us for leaving, although they had a terrible ant problem. Finally, she refunded me, but made me come back again to get it, and it was not a full refund, only a partial of what we had paid. I advise going to Santa Nella RV Park across the highway. They are cheaper, cleaner and very helpful. Do not go to San Luis, you will be ripped off and very upset with the park. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

My wife and I stayed at this park before and were not impressed. We decided not to stay at this park again, however our truck broke down heading for home and we had no other choice. With that being said, this park has done a 360 Degree turn around. The bathrooms are a lot cleaner, the staff was very friendly, the lady in the office was different, so I think they hired new management. Hurray for the owner. I will definitely stay, and recommend this park again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This is an older park that the new owners and managers are updating. They are doing a great job. It is not the most scenic campground but very convenient and comfortable. They are putting in a 13 acre park right now with walking paths and playing fields. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This is a decent park for an overnight stop. All gravel and dirt sites with grass between the sites, but is is mostly dead at this time. The pool is lovely, but I did not use it. Lady in the office was very personable. I would not come here to stay, but for an over night stop, it is fine. WiFi has a weak signal but is free. Get code at the office.

You get what you pay for. Voltage dropped on us as well. Its fairly neat and clean, but the livestock flies are an issue. Nothing to rave about. The managers were rude on our last stay and the location was a bit out of the way. There seem to be better options in the surrounding area. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Welcome stop off I-5. Fun place as they have a number of animals in a kind of petting zoo. Large sites and some big trees. Pool was nice and they had a large stock of ice cream products (it gets REALLY HOT) to buy. They also have a place where you can wash your rig. I think that this is one of the few places I've seen this.It was really nice getting a large site again after having spent a couple of weeks on the Cal.coast and So.cal area. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
