The area is lovely. 25 minutes north of downtown Sac and 40 minutes from Roseville. You are on a lake amongst orchards. A beautiful one mile loop to walk around the lake. Those are the pros.

The area is lovely. 25 minutes north of downtown Sac and 40 minutes from Roseville. You are on a lake amongst orchards. A beautiful one mile loop to walk around the lake. Those are the pros. The cons are vicious mosquitos, if you want full hook-ups, you will have zero privacy and 3 neighbors in your personal space. If you open your curtains, be prepared to wave at your neighbor as they sit on their couch. There is a bigger section in the back of the park if you don’t mind going without sewer hookups. Pretty old and rundown...but the adult lounge was well-kept up on the inside and was a great place for my husband to do computer work and make business calls. The only reason to stay here is if you have a Thousand Trails membership, so the cost is zero for your stay.

Always have problems with the staff. They don’t communicate with another. Get offended when you call them out on it. Mess up the reservations and fees, not only for us but our extended family. It’s a quiet, peaceful place to stay, the lake is beautiful. Love the birds and geese. Beautiful weather. They regraveled and are mowing the lawns and keeping the sites maintained. No sewer so gotta pay for honey wagon! Water went out several times. AND BE FOREWARNED, ABSOLUTELY NO AT&T RECEPTION, and Verizon is quite spotty. So don’t think you can get any work done there.
Janewat would stay here again

We needed to use the Sacramento airport twice and decided to snag these spots in a 30% off sale on Thousand Trails. After our first experience, we wouldn't have gone back except we already had the reservation and it was near the airport. Our second experience was better.
You don't reserve a specific site here and there are a limited amount of full hook-ups in the front, w/e on the opposite corner of the lake and two areas for dry camping. I think the dry camping spots looked the best, but it was going to be 100, so we opted for w/e. When I asked at the front, they said usually you can pay less for dry camping, but that wasn't an option online when I booked. The website really doesn't tell you much and you could expect to come into a nice full hook-up spot and be disappointed and mad you paid full-price for no hook-ups.
The small area for full hook-ups is right in the front and the spots seem a little close together. The weirdest thing is their dump schedule. The plumbing is old, so they can't have everyone dumping at the same time, so they have alternating days and times when you can dump (no Sundays). You cannot leave your hose hooked up in case of back flow. There were only a few spots open in that section when we arrived and they didn't dump on our departure day, so we would have to use the dump station anyway. The only dump station that is working is in the w/e area. The other two are out of service. Our day of departure, the water was turned off in the morning. The notice being on the bathroom doors which we had not used until that morning.
We did not use the lounges or cafe up front, but they all seemed to be in good shape and used. The laundry was fine and the bathrooms are decent. The sports courts shown the map are overgrown and the dog run was dirty and had Easter eggs in it (why?). They do seem to have a list of activities going on as far as special events, but we were not there for them. There were a lot of people fishing.
The other frustrating thing to happen was we wanted to add one day onto our stay and the lady at the front couldn't add one day without it taking away my discount for the whole stay. The next morning when we went back to try again all the computers and phones were down. This lady made it sound like it would have been easy to make a new reservation, but because of the downed system we had to call the 1800 number. We got the day in the end, but it just seemed ridiculous. I was left the night before not knowing if we would have to move just because of some computer glitch.
Cell service was odd. We got along ok working, but Verizon was better although it fluctuated. I would lose AT&T on my phone in different parts of the RV.
Knowing the lay of the land helped the second stay be easier. We also had some beautiful sunsets.

We stopped here on our run from the snowy weather up North and pulled in late at night, parked in the dark and still managed to get a good site. Our stay was brief and we barely took advantage of any amenities.
The select your own site is a little frustrating in the dark. But after unhooking and driving around a little we found a good site overlooking a wheat field.
In the morning we were happy to see that we hadn't run over any small children and still parked relatively straight for a pitch black parking job (always a good test of a partnership). We enjoyed a walk around the lake in the morning and breakfast on site (cheap and good). We were able to eat outside and enjoy the view.
Propane was available, but the hours for fill up were very limited and we were not able to get any. We had partial hookup (water/electric) and plenty of dump areas on the way out.
