This place was a nice little surprise, after driving west through the desolate Mojave Desert. Good place to stop. Tucked away and quiet, but conveniently located. I pulled in at dusk and left early morning.
Beautiful panoramic vista of the ocean. Clifftop above the Pacific Coast Highway, but not much traffic noise. Instead, loud surf pounding all day. Great, easy drive into Santa Monica, Venice, Beverly Hills. Don't think I'd want to stay anywhere else when visiting LA. Quiet, safe, and secure.
Just drove through to scope this place out. It's beautifully tucked away on the edge of the Russian River, surrounded by big rolling hills and gorgeous scenery. Verizon phone and internet would not work so well. Not sure if they have wifi. Great place to get away from it all - not much for convenience or shopping.
Nestled in a grove of Eucalyptus trees that I understand are very fragrant (I can't smell), this campground is on the top of a hill overlooking beautiful Lake Chabot. None of the full hookup sites have a view of the lake, but some of the tent sites do - and lots of them would accomodate an RV or trailer. It's a bit of a hike to get down to the lake and up again, but Riley and I loved it. I also loved the miles of mountain bike trails. I wanted to scope this place out as a possible base for exploring San Francisco. There is a 10:00 curfew which kills the whole thing and the drive over the East Bay Bridge is always congested. Phone and Verizon card actually worked pretty well up here. They didn't have a problem with me washing my car and trailer here, either.
Nice park on a lake with a nice power plant on the far side. I was only here 2 nights, but enjoyed my stay, and it was a short, pleasant drive into downtown Hot Springs. My site was in a little cul-de-sac, on the water, and the neighbors were fun. Clean showers. Cell phone and modem worked. Quiet and friendly, it was mostly occupied by local people with their families on vacation.
Really nice to be able to walk to the rim of the canyon, but not much character to the place. If you don't need a hookup, the other campgrounds in the park are much much nicer. Phone and Verizon modem worked.
Noisy. I guess it's okay for people to use loudspeakers and play karoake into the night, or for church groups to wake up at dawn and use their PA system for the whole park to hear. Other than that, this park was a very fine base to explore Sedona and Jerome, even Flagstaff. Phone and Verizon modem worked.
Wasn't crazy about this park. The campground was far removed from the rest of the park and felt like a construction zone for a housing development, though the sites were certainly spacious enough and offered sewage as well. Not many other campers, too isolated for me, and pricey. I only stayed one night.
