Great place to take the kid on a Sunday afternoon! Not too many people but beautiful spring day. He didn't catch anything but oh well next time!

Entry fees

Whoever took over the place when they were about to shut down has completely ruined it. Nothing but greedy, money hungry people. They don't even stock the lakes anymore, the water level is decreasing to nothing, and now they want to charge an insane $50 dollars just to fish in these sad little ponds that no longer get stocked?? Not to mention nothing around the park has been updated at all it's getting run down to trash. DO NOT waste any more money here, whoever's running it is just putting the money straight into their pockets and not investing into the community.

12/7/2024 - I called Fisherman's Retreat to ask if it was possible to still catch Catfish during Trout Season. Ranger Ben let me know it's absolutely possible! He recommended a bait and set up for me and said to come on down and where to find him. Once I arrived he was extra welcome and even helped me set up my equipment the proper way. After all my years no one has really took their time to truly show me the right way and why we do it a certain way. I had my 2yr old daughter with me and he was extremely patient with both of us ! He even helped me out with a couple pieces of equipment that helped my set-up... Sure enough we caught a CATFISH !

Loved the experience , caught a couple fishes and even tho I am a first time fisher woman I loved fishing

Cool place. Don't expect luxury here. Overall the staff have always been helpful and nice. Been coming here since I was younger and I enjoy coming here now as an adult. 24 hours fishing! Can't beat that. Fire pits are scarce on availability so best to bring your own heat source. They sell firewood and bait at the front gate. Edited my review to attach some photos I've taken here.

I had a wonderful time fishing at the lake. We caught about 8 catfish that night. Sat night into Sunday morning. Nice peaceful a few raccoons trying to steal our fish was the only issue. Lol . But even the raccoons were funny after awhile. People trying to shoo them away. The night patrol was really cool. Stopped to see our tickets and talk for a min then he was off to the next person. The big lake is where everyone was fishing. Not to sure if anyone was fishing in the members lake that night because the members were on our side fishing. Sitting back enjoying The Lords scenery and just relaxing my mind .

You can always catch fish here

They want others to bail the mess they got into. Too expensive, go to a county park where they stick fish and keep things clean.

Have usually dealt with Norma and she has been one of the best in the business. Last year, they changed the reservation system so I could not make my normal August reservation until May. Last year's stay was great as always. This year, in March, 2026, I called for my August, 2026, reservation. The person I spoke to was very rude and seemed not willing to help at all. I asked for her named multiple times and she flat REFUSED to tell me her name. I asked who the manager was and she told me Maria was the owner and would NOT tell me anything about Norma. She said I had to call back in May for August. One of the rudest people I've come across in a position of service to the public. I called on May 1, 2026, and was quickly told it was full and no spaces available through the end of the year. Again, I asked for her name, and she would not give it to me. I asked if Norma was available and she said she is no longer at Mission RV. I asked for Maria and she claimed she was busy. For Maria and Jesse: This person needs to be GONE today. She is the worse representative of your once great business and is destroying it with her nasty attitude to long time customers. Do NOT Stay Here, EVER Again.

After explaining to me…read morethat I would be getting four free nights plus other freebies and confirming reservation, asked if I would come with a husband or partner I said my boyfriend, she took his name then proceeded to ask me if I was a citizen, if we were both citizens. I said I'm a legal permanent resident and he is a citizen, she said that they wouldn't be able to allow me as a guest. Quickly the tone of her voice changed and when I asked why only citizens she said that's a rule set by the owners and proceeded to give me the phone number to the Cherry Valley park. I asked if I came in to reserve as a paring my own nights costumer would I be able to reserve, she said No. I have an accent, was that reason? I don't know but talk about discrimination. Just that quick my reservation was canceled.

It has a pathetic "lake" that is 3 feet deep. It has a disgusting main shared room that is nothing more than a few folding tables with papers taped to them, and some old disgusting couches and chairs. It has a dirty microwave and a coffee maker. But the real issue is that Colorado river adventures is a scam. They claim that you get a one time pass at this amazing "deal" of booking a timeshare with their company. As of today's date a "package" ranges between 9 and 11k with a 500 a year matinenece fee. They claim you can use all this stuff and book all these international and coast to cost things but again its all a scam. When you book they offer you all sorts of free stuff - but it all has strings attached. The gift of the gas card can only be used if you buy in 50 dollar increments 60 dollars apart and they may or may not give you the rebate based on if you qualify st that time. Its not guaranteed. The tablet is a joke. My kid got bored with it in a matter of minutes. It loses charge in 30 minutes and has no capabilities. It also feels like a toy you'd buy on ali express for 8 dollars. But hey its free so whatever. I was promised a 20 night stay and was told I won a contest and if I wanted I could also tour their other locations incase I was interested. They booked me at cherry valley because it was closest to me. I double checked because I didn't want it to null my offer because let's be honest cherry valley has horrid (all honest) reviews. These people lied. There's no two ways around it. They lure you in and attempt to force you to buy and when you don't want to they basically throw a fit and kick you out. I was worried by the reviews and when I called to ask about them was told that the reviews are by disgruntled people who didn't qualify. That's not true, my income alone more than qualified me to be here, and I was willing to buy their most expensive package in cash that day. But if your company is going to lie to me to get me in the door, your tour of the facility is a complete joke, with decapitated conditions, then why would I trust anything else you had to offer. Buyer beware. This place is a straight up scam, poorly run by people who look like they are still living in the 80s, and are completely out of touch with reality, and who have 0 relationship woth the truth.

They make new rule in whatever bothers hoa. We actually own and pay the HOA to oversee the facility. Crackheads come through the gate all day and all night.

They rap a Chang around the gate stupidest thing I've ever seen the only thing that does is stop the people that need to get in there.I come in late sometimes I enjoy getting ice, running through the waterfall to take a shower before I hit the sack.. . The problem with California there's regulations on top of regulations. Also I can't understand how hoa can't find a little space for dogs to go play with other dog smell grass hang out. Considering we're all senior citizens. A lot of people have dogs because everybody else in their life has passed away already. It's much safer to stay inside the gate yet your requesting we should take or dogs outside the gate. I will never abide by this ridiculous restriction. Hoa think they can enforce whatever they decide. They think they're right and what they say goes what happened to democracy we the people. HOA is not God judge and jury. Whatever bothers them hoa will come up with some new regulation .There's plenty of places where dog can socialize with other dogs. My truck was literally Stolen under false pretense .I forgot my truck across from my space I was unloading my truck I forgot I left it in the parking spot .I wake up the next morning somebody stole my truck imagine that.

At first she refused yet they Insisted it had to be done that night. Somebody in the HOA is getting a kick back as well as the loser security guard. I support motorcycle and car accidents .I am very familiar with the tow truck company. Somebody from the HOA insisted my truck get hauled away it will never happen again. You can't park in a parking spot where every single parking spot is open. You can't walking your dog inside the RV resort It would be so easy to pay the same loser security guard driveing around with this flashing lights looking to steal a Senior citizens car living on a pension. The problem would be reduce by 95% with A security guard at the front gate with cameras is all it would take. If the security guard Stays at the front whatever goes in the front gate has to come out. Instead of him driving around looking to make a profit, By having vehicles towed from this facility if he sit at the front gate from 11p and 6am 95% of all the thefts and the crackheads that funnel through here 20 times a night would stop.

One of the larger ducks was acting like a puppy - it was so endearing and frightening at the same time. Right now there's a lot of construction. The main restroom area is being worked on. The parking near the dog park fills up quickly. I prefer this parking area compared to the main lot on the other side of the tennis courts. I love how they have racket ball courts but hardly see anyone using them. Overall, solid park and amenities.

This was my first visit to Ford Park. There's parking available, but the spots can fill up…read morequickly. To reach the ponds, after you park, you'll need to walk upwards to the left where there is a dirt foot trail to the ponds. There are two ponds. The first one that you'll see, is the smaller one. There are a few ducks that were here when we arrived. We saw several people fishing in this pond because the park recently stocked up the pond with fish. Although, when I spoke to someone who was leaving, they caught 3 fishes and were heading home. Another person who just arrived an hour earlier, still didn't catch any fish. My advice is to go early in the morning when the fish are hungry to catch the fish. To see the larger pond, just keep heading upwards to the right and you'll immediately see it to your left. This pond has most of the ducks congregating here. We saw less people fishing at this pond maybe because there were more ducks. The main reason to going to this park was to feed the ducks. You're not supposed to feed them bread. We brought bird seeds and sunflower seeds (with no salt) with us. When we went, there were three types of ducks: Mallards (The males have the pretty green colored feathers from their head to their necks while the females are covered with different shades of brown. I like the light tan feathered ones. You may see the all-white feathered Mallard which is pretty too.) Muscovy (they look like they're wearing red masks lol) The ones here were rather large compared to the other ducks. American Wigeon (they're smaller than the Mallard & Muscovy with green feather streak from their eyes going down their necks. At the top of their heads, the feathers are a white streak going down their necks as well. The main part of their body is covered with brown feathers.) Overall, we had an enjoyable time here feeding the ducks and relaxing in the park. Great free activity to bring along your kids to see the ducks. Just remember not to feed them bread because it lacks nutritional value and can lead to health problems for the birds.
