Campsite: Rio Viento RV Park

Cool breeze and beautiful sunsets!

We stayed at this park from July 29th 2022 through August 21st, 2022 (3 weeks)

We called in on short notice as we were trying to get away from the Yosemite fires and they were able to accommodate us for the length of time needed.

The staff is friendly and will take you to your site. We were in site 25 a back-in site with full hook-ups. Each site has enough room for your rig and a single vehicle. We have an extra car, so we ended up using an overflow parking spot for our truck.

The sites are level and have beautiful hand laid concrete pavers surrounded by grass to create a cozy setting. The Sacramento River is the background and offers an array of water sports for outdoor activities. The park offers a nice size enclosed dog park with plenty of room to play ball and run around. The park is beautiful and well maintained and being so close to the water with the cool breeze is nice.

There are a couple of major things to note:

The first is the road to the park is not the greatest, but it is do-able. We have a 42' 5th wheel and we made it just fine. It did get a little scary a couple of times as there was traffic coming from the other direction driving like a bat out of hell, and the road is narrow.

Another thing is to pay close attention to your speed while driving in the park as there is a 5-mile-per-hour speed limit that is heavily enforced. If you are driving over, you will get a nasty gram text about it, they are not kidding about the speed limit. We got a couple of texts when we were going 6 or 7 miles per hour.

Also, the park is right off the main road used to get there and there is a lot of traffic with trucks zooming along like a bat out of hell, you hear them all day long, and need to be careful when crossing the street to get to the water.

Finally, there are a lot of permanent residents there that leave their AC units on 24/7 and depending on the spot you are in, you could be affected. We were unlucky to be in that section. We have a newer 5th wheel that will cut the power if the voltage is too low so the AC isn't running too hot. We kept losing power for long periods of time and when we talked to the maintenance guy, they said that it was common to lose power in that section, that the wiring needed to be updated to accommodate for the newer trailers with multiple AC units. We had to rely on opening all our windows and doors with no power in over 100-degree weather.

The only thing that saved us were ice, icy pops and the strong winds.

if you are looking to stay in the area and enjoy some water parks, this park could be a fit.

Campsite: Black Canyon Wimberley Farmhouse Cottages & Luxury RV Park

We stayed at Black Canyon Wimberley from December 23, 2023 – January 14, 2024. Nestled just 5 minutes from the heart of Wimberley, this small quiet park provided the perfect blend of convenience and serenity.

We were in site 4, a gravel pull-through with full hookups. The site was just long and wide enough to fit our 5th wheel, truck, and car. They do have a parking space for a couple of vehicles, but at the time we arrived it was taken, so we crammed all the vehicles in our spot.

The park has minimal amenities like Wi-Fi, a small grass area to take your pets, and a nature trail. They do offer firepits and picnic tables in a few spots. We had a site that didn’t have either. The website mentioned a pool, but we never saw it. The park was clean and quiet, creating a peaceful environment throughout our stay.

The absence of restrooms and laundry facilities did pose a small challenge as we were there for an extended time, but we knew it would be worth trying to live without, due to the location. They do not offer monthly rates, as most people don’t stay long at this park, we had several different neighbors throughout our stay.

Proximity to the town center is a notable advantage. Being just a 5-minute drive away, we could easily explore the local attractions, charming shops, and the unique culture that Wimberley has to offer.

If you are looking for a simple and quiet getaway to explore the charming Wimberley, this is an average place to stay.

Campsite: Venture RV Richfield

We stayed at Venture RV Park, from June 4 to June 25, 2023. Our unexpected stay at Venture RV Park was a stroke of good fortune. Originally booked at another RV park, we decided to change course and gave Venture RV Park a call. To our surprise, they were not only available but also incredibly accommodating on short notice. Our anticipation was met with sheer delight upon arrival at this hidden gem.

The experience began with the exceptional staff who ensured a seamless check-in process. Their warm hospitality set a positive tone for our stay.

We were in site #20, a well-maintained back-in gravel site with full hook-ups, and a concrete pad with a picnic table. The site's generous width allowed us to effortlessly park our truck and car side by side in front of our 5th wheel. A delightful bonus was our site was conveniently located across from a spacious enclosed dog park. It really made it easy to let our dogs out to play. Each site is strategically positioned to grant privacy and cultivate a sense of tranquility, amidst the lush greenery and captivating natural surroundings.

The park's amenities were nothing short of top-notch, ensuring a comfortable and hassle-free stay. From the basics like impeccably clean bathrooms and showers to the convenience of a well-appointed laundry room, we felt well taken care of. However, the added luxuries were what truly set this park apart. The community pavilion, complete with a fire ring, the basketball court, pickleball court, and a playground, catered to guests of all ages. The on-site ATV/UTV wash area was a godsend for those who love outdoor adventures.

The park is securely enclosed by a gate encompassing its entire perimeter, with an open entrance at the front. This feature provided us with a reassuring sense of safety during our stay.

A memorable experience was the park's proximity to the airport, allowing us to sit outside and watch planes fly overhead and land. It added a unique touch to our stay and became a source of fascination.

Of course, we can't forget the breathtaking sunsets that graced our evenings, creating the perfect backdrop for relaxation and reflection.

When considering a park in the Utah area, Venture RV Park unquestionably stands out as a hidden gem, and I wholeheartedly recommend staying here.

Campsite: Antelope Valley RV Park

Small town charm and great staff.

We stayed at this RV park from November 6 – 12, 2022 (1 week).

We arrived at the park when the office was closed, and we had to call and check in. The staff is great and a delight to talk to.

We were in site 93 right off the highway a pull-through site with full hook ups, that was easy to access from the highway. Our site was level and the set up was quick and easy. We were able to fit our 5th wheel, truck, and car with no issues.

The laundry facilities were conveniently close to our site, you could tell it was a newer addition and it was clean. The park is well maintained and cared for. It is pet friendly and has a large grass area to walk around.

Regretfully we were so busy, we didn't take pictures of our site.

I would recommend this park if you are looking to stay in the Delta, Utah area.

Campsite: Cedar Canyon Retreat RV Park and Campground

We stayed at Cedar Canyon Retreat RV Park in Cedar City Utah from May 21 to June 4, 2023. When we arrived, we noticed that the internal roads were a little tight for our long 5th wheel, but we were able to manage.

Our designated site was #7, a gravel pull-through featuring full hook-ups. To our surprise, this site accommodated our 5th wheel, truck, and extra car with a little room to spare. However, it's worth mentioning that site #7 boasts a subtle curvature and is not entirely level and will require the use of leveling blocks. One thing we found awkward is that the fire pit and picnic table for this site were positioned in front of site #8, creating a somewhat unconventional layout. It didn’t really give you a sense of privacy. Also, Site 8’s fire pit is positioned to the end of site 7, which ended up being right next to our bedroom window, so we couldn’t have our windows open to cool down our room at night when they had their campfires going.

The Park's facilities included private restrooms, showers, complimentary Wi-Fi, a recreation area, and a small on-site convenience store. It's worth noting that there is just a solitary trash can, located near the park's entrance across the street. While the park is welcoming to canine companions, it does not provide a designated dog enclosure. However, the ample open spaces in the vicinity offer plenty of room for exploration and exercise.

One of the most memorable and enchanting aspects of our stay was the occasional visits from exquisite moths, which graced our family with their presence on three separate occasions. These delicate creatures added an extra layer of charm to our stay, providing unique moments to unwind and connect with nature while enjoying the splendid surroundings and views.

When we were getting ready to depart, we found that our only option to maneuver out of the site due to the curve, the size of our 42’ Fifth wheel, and the close occupied adjacent sites, was to back up onto the main internal road. We had to laugh as we noticed we had an audience watching to see if we could maneuver out. Thankfully my husband and I are experienced at moving our rig out of uneasy spots, so we had no problems getting out.

I think this small park is a good option for weekend visits, due to the convenient location for a variety of surrounding attractions.
