  First of all, the staff was super pleasant to deal with at the front desk as well as the staff members we came across during the stay. There are areas of the RV park that are gorgeous. Spots by the creek looked great, and where we ended up eventually on a terrace was nice as well. The Valero/Camp Store had a good selection of things if you forgot something (we needed an additional length of sewer hose) The not great: We were originally placed in a site that by the time we deployed our slides, we were basically sharing the area outside our trailer with our neighbors. They alternate the direction of trailers on sites 144-177. It was so close that our neighbors had to move their picnic table so we could pull into our site. When we got out of the truck there was old food and debris left from whomever. Not sure if it was the adjacent campers or the previous tenants who had left that morning (obvious from the reservation papers still clipped to the power pedestal). The bad: Sites 144 through 159 are covered by a solar panel array that is 25ft off the ground. I can't think of anything that removes you from a nice "wilderness" oriented vacation than staring at a towering set of solar panels that would block views of the night sky. We were able to speak to the staff at the front desk and get moved away from the panels thankfully. The dangerous: While our new spot was in a great location, when we were setting up we plugged in our power cord and heard a crackling from the pedestal. Immediately disconnected power. The 15amp outlet was fine, and we had the correct adapters to get us through the night. We notified the front desk that night, the next night, and the next that the power pedestal wasn't functioning properly. Eventually a staff member came by the site asking if we were interested in becoming Thousand Trails members. We explained what was going on with the power pedestal and he suggested we use the adjacent site's power, which we did for the remainder of our stay. I don't think anyone ever came to check out the outlet that was crackling. One final tip, skip getting gas at the attached Valero and just fuel up at Crane Flat inside the park. Diesel was $1 cheaper per gallon.

  This is by far my favorite RV campground. So much to do in a beautiful setting. The people are friendly and helpful. Ray is awesome. Bathrooms and showers work and are nice to use. Super convenient having the store on the way in to the park.

  This member/public resort parks is located just minutes from Yosemite National Park in Calif. Staff is very accommodating and respectful. This was my 2nd visit to the resort, last being 17yrs ago. Some improvements have been done and some in progress. There's a large solar aray which is great for shade especially during the hot months. My only complaint is there needs to be washed gravel placed under this solar/port area. While here in Late September it did rain and the rain ran off the solar panels onto the dirt pads we were set up on under the panels. As such There's mud splashed up all over my car and motor home. This is my only major complaint with this park. Well, maybe all the inconsiderate drivers driving to fast on the inner gravel park roads as well. Maybe there's plans to gravel the solar sights in the future, hope so for future campers.

  We stayed in an rv spot. A great location near the river. The ones in the back I wouldn’t have liked. Being under the solar panels. Really glad we didn’t get one of those spots. It was peaceful , clean and quiet. A great location for visiting the town of Groveland and up to Yosemite. Wish our stay was longer. We will definitely be back! Cute little trails behind the campground you could walk. The rec room was super nice and updated.
