.ade a reservation for a pull thru but none was available. They tried to get us into two different spots. One was to small for our rig. The second had big trees hanging over the RV pad. This just wasn't the right spot for us. The service agent was very helpful and indicated we would get a refund for the two days. Missed the vineyards we wanted to go see.

30 Amp only. Very low water pressure. No sewer hookups. Very twisty and hilly to navigate. All this park wide. Verizon worked ok.

This has been a wonderful park to stay at! Although there isn’t sewage hookups (you can get them to come and pump out your tanks for a fee or dump yourself at no cost), it a really beautiful place! You can walk right to the river and surrounded by nature! The staff have also been very lovely to us!

This TT is quiet and quaint. We came here in the shoulder season of October and stayed here for 3 weeks in our 35' Brinkley i294 travel trailer and stayed in site c71. The spot was a little tight but we were able to make it in and out easily. The site was clean and surrounded by trees but had enough of a space that we could get reliable Starlink in the trailer. We spend a lot of time down by the river which is right on site. Unfortunately it does not look like there are any sites right on the river given the elevation. You would need to take a short road down to the river to access it or walk down the short cut from the far side of the park. The back road road to and from Cloverdale is rough and would not recommend taking any rig on it. It is best to go back to 101 and down to Cloverdale to get your shopping done. Overall we like this site though I think a lot of that has to do with us using our TT membership vs paying per night. If we had I would think that the public nightly price would have been too much. With the membership and being able to stay for 3 weeks made it well worth it.
