Went to plug in my Nema 1450 Shore power cord and the pedal outlet was melted. Let the check in lady girl know and quickly two maintenance guys came out for a look see. I told them exactly what needed to be replaced and the part name. The younger one said he will call an electrician to come take a look. I said, tell him to bring a Nema 1450 outlet and replace it, as it's nothing to look at but just replace it already. Now mind you we are already set up and can't plug in safely. They "called the owner" and said the electrician can come tomorrow and that's just not gonna work for me. I asked where is the closest hardware store and again the younger one said "it's probably closed" he's not helpful and he's a minimum effort kinda guy. I called ace hardware and they are open for another 1-2 hrs. Had the counter make sure the part is in and had it ready for pick up. The older one tried to put it in, not having any experience with this type of electrical work. I ended doing it for him as I'm a 30+ year electrician. I may have saved his life - . The office offered a $20 credit. and got them to do $50...... The End

My kids and I love tent camping and dry camping, but my wife is an RV girl (class A if you must know). This was her first tent experience so we wanted to make it memorable. Funny how things work out: careful what you wish for... I'll get to that later... The site we got was amazing. Level, flat with direct access to the lake. We had a tree next to us and a hose bib. Across the way was a fish cleaning sink that we used to wash dishes. The fire pit had a swing away grill which was nice. There were Porta-potties close by, but we brought our own portable toilet and privacy pop up shelter. The view was amazing. The sun set over the lake, and the mountains (the Eastern edge of the Sierra Nevadas) basked in hues of purple, deep red and blue. We called it the Disney mountains because it looked so amazing it must be fake. The night sky was simply awesome. My 8 year-old, who loves astronomy and science, couldn't stop looking up. Shame on me for not bringing our telescope or remembering I had binoculars in the truck. If you wanted to be amazed by the beauty of a star filled sky, just look up. The days brought high temps in the low to mid 90's, so we brought a portable generator and AC, I know, but it was my wife's first tent camping trip and we didn't want to make it her last. Early evening brought some gusts and our first night was windy. The tent held up well, but my wife and kids were cold. We didn't bring sleeping bags, only blankets, and had a large 4 room, 12 man tent, so staying warm was an issue. Luckily, I brought our Mr. Heater Buddy propane heater, so we stayed warm until the propane ran out. We explored the next day looking for a propane fill up station in nearby Lone Pine. The quaint town reminded my boys of Radiator Springs from Disney's "Cars." As is typical for small towns that rely on tourism, the propane was majorly expensive, but we had no choice. The town, though, was nice to explore. Early morning hours brought an almost glassy lake with no waves. Wait until late morning and you got the wake waves from the motor boats, wake boarders and jet skis. Wait until the late afternoon and you got wind and waves. We used a blow up canoe and oars, so the afternoon wind and waves were impossible for us to get through. The winds on our last night really picked up in the afternoon. A 60 mph gust or stronger blew through our site and ripped apart our tent, destroyed our Coleman canopy and blew our raft, life jackets, oars and other supplies at least 30 yards away. With our tent destroyed, we had to pack up everything in the wind. We threw away both our canopy and our tent. I'm spite of our surprise excitement of the wind gust and destroyed camp gear, it was an experience we'd never forget. A memorable one, for sure, that ended up landing me with a new tent for my birthday and shade canopy, something that I wished for for a long time. Careful what you wish for, eh?

They have paddle boards and kayaks to borrow, and a suspension bridge you can go across (nope) and probably jump off of (that would be my grandson). The tennis court looks good enough, with a basket ball hoop at one end. They have lovely pavillion type structures at the side of the lake with a lovely view of the mountains. Super friendly & helpful staff... What's not to like! Quiet. I'm hoping there will be good star visibility tonight!

The location is very easy to find, and they provide clear, exact driving directions. You can see the big board right from the road, which makes it even easier to locate. The park is very neat and clean, with large pull-through RV spaces that make parking stress-free. The views are absolutely breathtaking, and the atmosphere is very calm and quiet. The owner is very responsive and available 24 hours, which made us feel well taken care of. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend this RV park.

Amazing views, a short walk to some waterfalls and streams, full hook ups on both sides (EG: you can pull in on either direction). The only 2 knocks I have; the sites seem like they could be a little tight if you don't camp with a friend (and have 2 spots together) to get 1 combined campsite. And the terrain isn't really level so there is some adjusting and leveling to be done on your rig. But either way 5 out of 5. We will 100% be back on a later date.

There is lots of wildlife and friendly people. This is definitely my favorite place to visit and since I am an owner, I can visit 182 days a year. I loved to walk around the lake, ride one of our 25 horses, hang out with my Ranch friends and family at my RV or the Double "R" Restaurant & Saloon. The bands are great. I wish I could sing because they have a state-of-the-art Karaoke system that gets everyone up and dancing. The lake is full of fish, the birds are singing, and the bullfrogs are croaking. Its serene and surreal. Come and see for yourself. You will also want to become an owner.

Sequoia national Park is quite the experience, but I want to warn you. There is a very long drive…read moreto get up to see the sequoia trees. I believe it was roughly 45 minutes to get up there to begin to see these trees and the road was very long and windy and at one point I was for sure we were going the wrong way even though there's only one way I was for sure. But after that 45 minute drive up, you begin to see these remarkably tall, beautiful sequoia trees as far as they I can see and each one of them more breathtaking than ever we went during winter so I definitely encourage you to check and make sure that you don't need to bring snow chains because to travel to a lot of the areas in winter and other seasons, you might just need snow chains to make it My family had a great time we spent just a few hours walking around and enjoying the beautiful view the fresh Mountain air and getting a chance to interact with other people traveling from all over the country who had come to visit as well. This is also something you must add to your bucket list because even though we only got to see 1/10 of this park, we already have it put back on our bucket list to go again because there's so much more to see here truly breathtaking views and just a relaxing experience all the way around.

All the grandeur of Yosemite, but with half the crowds. And you get two parks for the price of one!…read more Whether you're coming from Visalia or Fresno, a trip to this double park is an easy day trip and excellent opportunity to get away from the valley fog or smog, breathe in some fresh air and escape into nature. No matter what level of engagement or activity you're looking for, these parks offer beautiful and thrilling scenic drives for the car warriors, lovely short and accessible strolls for those not looking for a hike, and serious high country hiking options for those looking for a challenge or adventure of a lifetime. There are countless hikes to high country destinations, including Mt. Whitney and the Pacific Crest Trail. The largest living tree, General Sherman, resides here. As does a canyon deeper than the Grand Canyon. There are two caverns that are accessible to the public (tickets required for both Boyden and Crystal Caverns). So much to see and do! Please note that if you get motion-sick, some of the roads have sheer drop offs, and hairpin turns. Take it slow and don't forget to use turn outs if you get a line of cars behind you...you will make a lot of friends instantly! Wildlife sightings are common. I've seen black bears, yellow bellied marmots, a fisher, squirrels, deer, cottontails, and countless birds and lizards. I know there are bobcats and mountain lions, but haven't had the honor of seeing either--YET. There's snow in the winter that causes road and facility closures in parts of the park. This area is also prone to severe wildfires (manmade and lightning)....so I prefer to visit in the spring or fall. I've visited in every season, and find that each has its own splendor. I hope you have a chance to visit these parks and that your visit brings you a few moments of wonder, and I have experienced with every visit.
