So after I scheduled my reservations online(May 3-5th), I stumbled onto this Yelp review page. INSTANT REGRET. I almost called and canceled I was so leery and turned off. Said Eff it, we're going!
My wife and I dragged our Travel Trailer out there with our two dogs, found the resort with ease, pulled in, and that's when I met Allen. He is the NEW OWNER! He was very polite and gave me all of my information and my camp sight number. After we had settled in he swung by just to say hi so I told him all of the hesitations I had about staying there. That's when I learned he had just bought this trailer resort back in March 2019, and was in the early stages of a 100% revamp. In his exact words, "when I bought this place it was a mess!" He evicted all of the permanent tenants, hauled out all of their trash, and is now remodeling all of the mobile homes on sight to rent out as cabins in the future.
THE STAY. It was awesome!! I would stay there again in a heartbeat. It was super quiet and relaxing. We had a couple neighbors parked near us, but everyone was respectable. The camp sight was level, so parking the trailer was easy. Full hook ups worked just as described. Dogs do have to be leashed in the camp area, but a 30ft walk up into the brush and you can let them off the leash to roam and do their business. AT&T is from what we were told the only provider that gets reception out there. We found it to be very spotty though, sometimes it would work just "okay" and other times it wouldn't work at all. The WiFi there was less than acceptable. It wouldn't work at all for us. I brought this up to management and he told me that they are aware of the issue and have 2 WiFi boosters on order to fix that- so with time that will get better.
Burney falls is about a 4 minute drive. Allen gave us directions to a really cool spot you can park for free and then walk in on the back side of the falls along the pacific coast trail. Give the subway caves(lava tubes) a visit, took us about 25 minutes to drive too but was super cool!
So in all, give this place a shot! We had an awesome experience. Better than some "5 star resorts" we have stayed at in the past. The new owner is welcoming and polite. The views are breathtaking. And its centrally located. THANKS FOR THE AWESOME STAY ALLEN!!!! read more
