Trailer camping 1.1 miles from U.S National Forest. Horse riding 4 miles up at White River forest entrance. There's also a horse entrance 1.5 miles through private road to be in the national forest. Camp site is huge and would probably hold 5 RV's but only one related group at a time. The total land is 2.36 acres and the land below the parking area is part of the property and can be used to relax, walk around, or let dogs chase rabbits:). Views for miles and a peaceful place to relax in the Sequoias. Night view of city lights below in San Joaquin Valley. Pull in and have the place to yourself. There's no onsite manager but there is someone within a mile of the property if there are needs or issues. The entrance to the property is best for 32 foot or under camper unless you're a miracle worker:).
The people here are warm and inviting, and it's a cute little shady area tucked away, so you'd never know it was there.
Most of the people live there full time, but they had several spaces they rent out. The only thing I wasn't thrilled about was the barking dogs, every time I stepped out of my RV, to walk my own dog (who doesn't bark!). But that is often a problem, almost everywhere. The price was quite a bit higher than I'm used to paying, but my church was paying for it, so I couldn't pass it up. I probably won't go back, as it's farther than I like to travel. But if you're looking for a place, and can afford it, I'd say check it out for yourself.
You will think you made a wrong turn into a horror movie lol (maybe because we arrived late at night) but don't be fooled this RV Park is a piece of heaven on earth. The owners Douglas and Monette are amazing people with kind hearts. All the neighbors were super helpful and kind. The pool area is relaxing. Loved the goats and feeding them :) Park is exceptionally clean and well maintained. My favorite part was the Prayer Garden... for the 45 minutes I spent there I was transformed. Monette gave me a personal tour. Enjoy the pictures.
We had a fabulous time, very clean, quiet, friendly, peaceful & economical. Thank you for having us 😁
In comparison to several parks that we have visited over the past few months this by far is filled with the nicest people we have had the pleasure of meeting. Starting from when we first got here Roy offered to help set up the camper thanks Roy. The owners are very nice and giving to the residents in the community without that sense of ulterior motive... The campground itself is great .... The pool is awesome,clean, and No discrimination against our Doberman...(they have room to run and are still a little confused about the weird looking Doberman here ....Goat farm)Even after a few plants have been destroyed.... sorry guys:/ I think our cat thinks he is Simba has everything that the light touches belongs to him :-) We didn’t plan on being here as long as we have been and will miss it when we leave but we will be staying here whenever we have the chance in the future.... thanks again for all the hospitality and having such a wonderful group of people at your park
So, this is a unique and necessary stay for any RVer in the area. It's kinda like a horror movie if you arrive late at night (we even had thick fog!), but people are friendly, the host is very laid back and welcoming, and they have unique amenities, most notably a beautiful prayer garden that is it's own experience, an outdoor church with service on Sundays, a dog park, a playground, a general store, a large pool, and I'm sure there were more things that I wasn't 💯 sure about because I didn't see them, so I won't include them.
We would have stayed longer, but we are a family of four, and the lack of public restrooms and free showers sent us elsewhere. We would burn through our propane in like 3 days if we used our showers for everyone, and so we prefer to use showers on site. They do have shower cabanas you can rent, but it's $5 per person a day. And they charge $50 a night for a site as it is, so that was too much for our liking. If we paid the weekly or monthly rate and had shown up with a full propane tank, it would be a different story.
I took a walk through the prayer garden as the sun was setting, and I sat and watched the sun go down. I was surrounded by beautiful hills, outdoor lighting, and perfectly maintained and coordinated succulent landscaping. It was a peaceful and spiritual moment that I could get used to.
We will definitely return, probably when the weather gets warmer so we can use the gorgeous pool. I certainly hope they will repair the bathroom and shower situation. It would instantly get a 5☆ edited review from me.
