Almond Tree Oasis RV Park

We are full time RV’ers and have been since 2015. We are in the area due to work and have stayed at Almond Tree Oasis RV park quite a bit in the last couple of years. There are not a lot of RV parks in the area to choose from and we were a bit worried about staying at a ‘transition’ RV park on the interstate. In our time here, we have never had any issues.

The RV park has turned out to be far quieter than we expected it to be given its proximity to the interstate. We have never had any issue with people messing with our stuff. We don’t see shady people wandering around and the RVs that are here don’t look like garbage. The quality of RVs that are in an RV park are a good indicator of what the park is like IMO. Dingy, never cleaned 30 year old RVs that don’t look like they could ever be moved is a very bad sign. There is none of that here. When we first stayed here a few years ago, there were some RVs that were very close to that category, but it was only a couple. Over time, they moved on or upgraded (and I am guessing they were grandfathered in) and now, even the older RVs are in good shape.

The park is well maintained. It is kept clean. Our only complaints are the occasional dog poop around our RV (we don’t have dogs), the sewage drains are too tall and the spaces are a bit narrow. Those are pretty minor though. We have Starlink, so no experience with the wifi. The laundry machines are out of commission right now and have been for a bit longer than we would have expected, but they worked well enough before they started the rebuild of the laundry room. We don’t use the bathroom and showers, so can’t comment there. The pool is a salt water pool and not heated, it feels great when it is 110 degrees out but it is closed during the cold months. Spots are gravel with paved roads around the park. The power grid in the park seems pretty solid (we use a lot of power for our behemoth). I think that we have lost power 2 or 3 times and it is always due to someone running into a power pole on Jayne or utility work in the area. South Glenn Avenue is paved, but pretty rough. You only have to drive about 250 yards on the road to get to the RV park from Jayne Avenue. This road is a public road though, so the state / county should have responsibility for it.

Don’t plan to buy gas for vehicles at this location. There are two gas stations next to the RV park, but they are consistently the highest priced stations by a lot for quite a distance in any direction. Nearest grocery store is in Coalinga which is about 12 miles. There is also a smaller one in Huron which is about the same distance in the opposite direction. They have propane available at the RV park.

Overnight stay, driving thru, arrived around 6pm.

Pros: Excellent location right off the Interstate, next to gas stations with subway and other restaurants inside. Good rate for 1 night, around $65. Pull thrus, well lit, large spaces, FHU, quiet. Clean showers, men's bath house/women's bath house, great water pressure, laundry ($3.50 wash/1.50dry) uses digital system for laundry, I believe least amount to transfer to account was $10.

Cons: the bath house in the back - the doors did not lock/use code, wide open, front bathhouse one of the men's showers wasn't working, laundry room closes at 9pm, one washer wasn't working. We were only able to get one of pur 2 loads done in the time we had from getting in & the laundry room closing.

General info: our GPS took us down the first road between the 2 gas stations & you can not get thru on that road. Once you turn left at the gas station, stay straight to the back, you will see the correct entrance on the right. We were so exhausted I forgot to take any pictures. Seems like alot of long term residents. Everyone was quiet & respectful. No issues.

Would stay again, if driving thru!
