2018 Update - We had a back in on concrete with a patio, electric, water and sewer with free cable and WiFi. This place is still kept up very nicely, the staff was extremely friendly and accommodating. We would highly recommend it and will stay here if we are ever in the area again.



This is more of a resort than a park and since we have passed it by several times on our travels, we chose to give it try this time and we were very glad we did. Conveniently located right off the CA-58 highway, it has many amenities to offer. They do not accept any discounts at any time, we paid $32 for a back-in site, the pull thru was a bit more.



They have excellent, clean restroom & shower houses.



The pool & spa were very inviting but it was freezing so we did not partake in them.

May of 2016 we enjoyed the pools since it reached 90 degrees...hot tub had great jets and not too hot and the pool was cool. We were alone and it was just what we needed to soothe these aching bones.



We will definitely return and recommend this place to anyone even though the price is over our $30 per night budget, it is not that expensive taking into consideration California prices.

2018 UPDATE: They take NO discounts any longer so it is pricey and then we arrived at 12:15pm and they WOULD NOT allow us to get escorted to our site until after 1pm...ridiculous. Our site was available, we could see it open and we told the girl at the desk this but she said, "We must wait for the escort at 1pm since that is check in time." We sat there and just heated up because it was 85 degrees in the sun. WE WILL NOT BE REVISITING AGAIN, DUE TO HIGHER PRICES...NO DISCOUNTS...AND WORST OF ALL THE CHECK IN POLICY!

In February of 2016 we finally took a few photos since this was the location we stayed while on our days off at FOY and we took a walk in the evening to the spa and enjoy some great conversation with other guests.

It is no longer a Coast to Coast or Western Horizon Resort and all sites are full hook ups.

In December we paid $27.00 using our Passport America 50% discount membership for a water, electric, sewer pull through level site on gravel.

In January & February we paid $47.01 using our Good Sam 10% discount for a water, electric, sewer back in level site on gravel.  The sites are a good size and have an additional slab for your tow vehicle but we used it for our chairs for sitting outside.

Not sure how recent the sewers in this area were added but the stench was intolerable in December.  We could not sit outside and we even had to close our windows for most of the time we were there. In January and February the smell was non existing.

They still do not offer cable but they do offer free WiFi that we did not use since our Verizon worked perfectly.

If we are ever in the area we would stay here and we would recommend it for an overnight or longer visit.

Written 1/27/2010 - This is a membership park, we stayed with our Coast to Coast (C2C) membership for $10 per night. Upon checking in, we were informed that we would be in a water and electric site only, with a dump station nearby. This was not conveyed to us when we made the reservation, via the C2C online website. Apparently, only Western Horizon Resorts (WHR) members stay in the full hookups close to the pools, spas, and clubhouse area. Normally we would not be concerned since we were only staying for a few days, but we had just come off of a two week stay in the desert boondocking and really wanted to take long showers and give the rig a thorough cleaning. Many of our C2C choices have stipulations that are becoming annoying.

The park was clean and very well maintained. The sites were a good size with a slab that only fit your RV, no patio, just rocks where you set out your chairs. The views of the snow covered mountains were spectacular. Cable was not available, but for an additional cost they did offer WiFi.

2018 UPDATE: We came to do some soaking and visiting with friends and prices went up but it was worth it for the soakings, we will be leaving years younger after soaking every day while we are here.

We paid $39.60 per night using our Good Sam 10% discount for a water, electric, sewer, on a level gravel site with a patio pad that includes free cable and pretty decent WiFi.  Our cell phone service was doable but not at its absolute best. 

The sites are fairly wide so we didn’t feel like we were on top of our neighbors which was really nice.  Since most are back in sites, even our neighbors behind us didn’t seem to be close due to the way the sites are layered.

It is in the middle of nowhere but is like a community in itself that has just about everything you need and everything is kept up the best we have ever seen.  Even though the season was coming to an end there were still many people still there and everywhere was clean and kept up.  It was amazing!

We ate lunch at the Café and the sandwiches were fresh and very tasty and the fries were fabulous, they have dinner specials but that was winding down since the season was coming to an end.  The service was excellent and we noticed all the workers were very happy and many of them return year after year.

The pools were mineral hot springs that eased the pain in our bodies and we took full advantage of them for the few days we were there.

They have all sorts of activities, both scheduled and others you can do on your own time so you never have to be bored.

They have great facilities that are kept so clean, the laundry rooms and restrooms are immaculate. 

The landscaping is perfect.

We are so impressed with this place that we submitted our resume for work next winter and we highly recommend if you are ever in the area to stop by and stay awhile at this absolutely wonderful resort, we definitely plan to return.
