Stayed here day after Thanksgiving, spot with only elect and water, no sewer/cable. Quoted $48 but when told they quoted $34 an hour earlier on the phone they honored that price. Very good. Friendly staff. Good Wi-Fi. They had some premium spots, concrete, avail for $98.00 but we told them we'll pass on that price thank you. Our spot was really overpriced at $34. Park is clean, except for an area of resident trailers that are really out of place here, really run down. I think next time I will pass this park by. We camped here in a Motorhome.
$54 is the winter rate. There are no discounts for Good Sam, AAA, etc. Sites are level gravel, but a little close together, with a cement patio. Fire pits are available for rent. Bathrooms and showers are very clean. Cable TV was fuzzy and very limited in terms of channels - no FoxNews. Don't miss Ellen's Danish Pancake House just north of the campground. Convenient for exploring the wine country, Solvang, and visiting Santa Barbara. Would stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This park has undergone a renovation in the last two years, with all of the short-term sites being upgraded to packed gravel pads with concrete patios and grass between the sites. All are 30/50 amp full-service sites with a good mix of back-in and pull-thrus, on paved interior roads. The pull-thrus at the south end of the park are long enough for large combination's, while the other sites have tighter access roads and shorter lengths (we had one of the latter and it was a tight fit for a 45' rig and toad to fit without encroaching into the road). They have thinned the trees as part of the renovation, and perhaps 25% of the sites are satellite-friendly. Wi-Fi is available for a fee. There are still a lot of permanent rigs in the north half of the park, and the moles still rule the large grassy tent and dry-camping area. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Not as nice as expected based on cost. Only Super Sites have poured concrete pads. Remainder are some sort of crushed gravel that sticks to your shoes, making it difficult to keep the RV floor clean. Full time area is in bad shape and would not want to be close to it. Very old units in disrepair. New fenced pet area nice size but was half dirt. Office staff was friendly and helpful. Would stay here again, they are about the only RV park in the area. We camped here in a Motorhome.
A very nice park. There were lots of kids and dogs of all sizes. Wi-Fi didn't work two of three days, and it was too pricey. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We just got home after 3 great nights here. Yes: I thought the nightly rate was a little high until I got there. It's been about 8 months since I was there last and they've made alot of improvements. Our site was level and the power pedestals made everything so neat and easy to hook up. The off-leash dog area was great too. I do wish people would pick up after their dogs, especially when they 'deposit' right in front of the dog area gate and there are bags less than 3 ft away. This is definitely one of the nicest parks we've been to. The owners totally know how to make a park super RV'er friendly. Our only complaint: Wi-Fi was very slow in my trailer, but I came here for a short vacation so, oh well. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This is a beautiful park, with lots of mature trees and all the amenities, but still overpriced, in my opinion. Customer service was indifferent at best, and most often surly. The internet connection was weak and intermittent, and there is no one on staff who knew anything about it. We were told to call Tengointernet for help when the problem was actually with the equipment on site. Very frustrating, since we run our business online. When we decided to leave two days early, to find a place that actually did have reliable internet, we were told that we would not get a refund for the cancelled nights. Instead, we had to take out the balance in their meager store, in order not to lose $120. Needless to say, we will not stay there again! We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Love it. Love it. Love it. We've been staying here at Flying Flags for over 10 years and have watched it progressively get better. Although a little pricey, it is THE only place to stay while visiting Solvang, the mission and oh yes, the Indian Casino east on 246. Clean, spacious sites, nicely stocked store, excellent personnel, nice bathrooms, hot good water pressure showers and lots of activities. We will definitely stay here again and again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This park was actually very nice but very over priced. Had we not been in the area to attend a funeral and if there had been another place to stay within 25 miles we wouldn't have stayed. Unfortunately there was no other choice. We paid less than half their fee for parks that equal the amenities available here. I hope some competition opens in the area soon. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
During the year since our last visit it looks like most all of the improvements begun last year have been completed. There are four rows of long term sites on the north end of the park which have not been touched but are not an eyesore and are out of the way. The sites in the 300 section on the south end were dirt/weeds and lumpy last year with some intruding trees. No more. All have been leveled with either cement or crushed rock and have well cared for new grass between. Also there are new hookup posts. All sites now have a textured cement area for a picnic table and the trees have either been removed or trimmed high enough so they are not in the way of awnings and slides. The 5 rows of no hookup sites on a large grass area also have a picnic table for each. A fitness center has been added with 6 new stepper, treadmill and bike machines. The aircard for the laptop worked well here. Next to the dog park is a dog washing station with a large elevated basin, warm water and tie downs. The park was full but there was no noise at night at least in our end of the park. The common areas were kept clean and trash picked up. There are also recycle bins stationed throughout the park. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Rate is based on weekly rate in a premium plus site. Site pad was gravel with a nice concrete patio and spacious grassy area. Park was clean and well maintained with nice landscaping. Lots of big trees, many sites with shade, although the trees can be a problem for satellite reception. Cable was free, but had somewhat limited channels. Wifi worked very well. Staff were very courteous, friendly and helpful. Great location if you want to visit Solvang and wineries. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We stayed a weekend due to our inability to find something less expensive on short notice. This park is grossly overpriced. The regular pull thru sites have a severe uphill slant onto the flat parking area and it makes it difficult to situate so as to park a car behind or in front. We moved to a third site and still had difficulty finding a satellite signal. The dog off-leash area has been completely destroyed by an inconsiderate camper who allowed his/her dog to dig deep holes all over the place. It's a wonder our dog didn't break a leg tripping in these while chasing his ball. Then I noticed the area was infested with fox tails, which vets will tell you are extremely dangerous for dogs. The off leash area is also sharing a fence with the very nice playground, which may be an accident waiting to happen. There were many permanents and tents while we were there. The park does have nice shade and grass. A very nice touch was the dog bath. Our Verizon signal was excellent. There was ample room between sites, and we were given a bag of goodies at check-in, but frankly we have stayed at many nicer campgrounds for much less, and we would prefer to pay less. We will make every effort to reserve a less expensive park in advance next time. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We stayed overnight at this park and considered the rate too high. Wi-Fi and cable were included. Extensive renovations are being done which look very good. Large playground and also fenced dog area. I used the pool and found the water to be a little cool for my comfort and I was doing a workout. There were others using it though. Restrooms were spotless. The showers had a few missing tiles and the water stream in the handicapped shower at the pool was just a very strong jet not very good for a handicapped person. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Great RV park! Staff was very friendly and helpful. Sights were large, some gravel, some cement pad depending on what you want to pay. Gas BBQ and fire pits available at each sight for small fee. Great place to stay and go wine tasting. Our dogs also enjoyed their stay! We camped here in a Motorhome.

With most all new construction completed, this RV Park has become one of the best in the area. We stayed in one of their new exclusive sites close to the office which we regretted paying a premium for because most all other sites were just as good for less money. Anderson's Split Pea Soup was excellent as usual. Solvang is suffering due to our poor economy. We camped here in a Motorhome.
The recreation facilities at the park are quite nice. IT IS WORTH PAYING FOR A PREMIUM PLUS SITE! These sites have been completely redone and are quite nice. The regular spaces are in desperate need of sprucing up as is the north side of the park which consists of permanent residents. Many of those are trailers which appear to be no longer road-worthy. However, our kids enjoyed the pool, spa, game room, and playground. We did have a great stay and would come back again in the future. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Really like this park. Super clean. $62 per night was for their top sites. Office staff knows which sites are satellite friendly. Verizon air card worked great. We have stayed here many times and love the park and the friendly staff. VERY pet friendly. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
A lot of good work is being done on this park. New cement slabs, new cabins, fresh grass and crushed granite. All of this will make this park more enjoyable come summer. One word of advice though: if you want to make sure you can use your satellite, then park in the crushed granite sites. (Lot less trees to block signal). We will definitely return. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We enjoy staying at this RV park when we drive through the area. It has a decent playground and though there could be more room between spaces, it's not as crammed as many parks are. The main store is nice and employees are generally friendly. We've stayed there several times now. We camped here in a Motorhome.
"I'm so sad. This is my last night at Flying Flags and I had such a good time. The people are terrific. The park is spotless, the spaces are nice and wide, paved and grassy. For a nominal price, they offer weekend BBQ dinners, burger dinners, sundae parties, Sunday breakfasts and room, er, rig service on Sunday mornings. They even play movies in the pool area on the weekends free of charge. The park offers a fenced dog park and dog bath. It even has a fenced (and roofed!) cat area to let your precious feline stretch its legs. I sound like I own the place but I don't. I'm an avid RVer and am pretty picky. I appreciate a park that takes pride in their place and hires people that are congenial and helpful - right now to the smiling gardener. I highly recommend and I will definitely return." We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a very nice place. We were here about 5 years ago, and the park was OK. They are making lots of noticeable improvements. It's well run with a friendly staff. There is a nice pool & spa. We will definitely come back again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is the best park for visiting Solvang. It is a perfect off and on from the 101 Freeway. It is in a beautiful setting with trees - but not too many. Our satellite worked great. Sites are concrete (some - not all) with grass and stamped concrete. It's not a fancy-shmancy resort park - but offers many great amenities, and it is very clean and well-run. Of Note: Their website indicates 2 night minimum for weekend stays. I called the office, and they said that is only for summer. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We spent Thanksgiving here with another family. The people in the office were very helpful and friendly.They hosted two nights of Movies Under the Stars which the kids very much enjoyed. I felt the campground was very child and dog friendly ( we loved the dog run!) The location was excellent and we never knew we were so close to the highway. No freeway noise at all. We loved the area and can't wait to go back. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This place is pretty good, the premium sites are OK. Wireless worked well and they offer different meals such as tri-tip on Friday and full breakfast on Sunday. This location is very close to Solvang, there are plenty of stores to see. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Really nice place - welcoming friendly front desk...the comp cookies were delicious. Kids loved the place and wanted to stay longer. Clean, tidy and good facilities..nice to have a hot spa at the end of the day. Nice feeling place. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Advised at check-in that satellite service OK, however, trees blocked my site. Advertised as a pull through but must disconnect first. Very clean park. Excellent supply store. Nice people. EZ freeway on and off. Great location to Solvang. Looks like lots of full time residents in cluttered sights. Would probably stay again in this well maintained park. We camped here in a Motorhome.
These people are doing it right. Spacious sites, nice facilities, affordable rate. They are about making the customer happy, not just a grumpy old man in the office who makes you beg for a spot. They even gave me cookies when I signed in!!! We camped here in a Motorhome.
Close to Solvang and stores and restaurants. The park had a great Bar-B-Que on Fri. night and ice cream social on Sat. night. The park has been improved so spots are more spacious then in the past. The over flow section can get a little noisy at night but it wasn't to bad. We had a discount so it is a bit pricey. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This is a good place to stay. We were assigned a site but wanted another and moving in the park is difficult as the roads are narrow but passable. Don't use the "dog run" as it amounts to little more than a large dirty cage. We would stay there again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We stayed in one of the super premium sites so we had ample room with concrete pad and room for the tow. Not enough cable channels though. Some sites are close as well. Very family friendly with lots of kids but very quiet after 10 P.M during the quiet hours. Office staff very friendly and helpful. The park is very clean. We wold stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Nice, clean campground with large sites. This campground seems to cater to some of the bigger and fancier RVs. Nice clean pool and spa, on-site convenience store, snack bar, arcade and laundry room. Brand new playground that the kids enjoyed for hours. The only reason that this campground did not get a 9 or a 10 was the location. We found that there just wasn't much to do in Buellton or the surrounding areas. It works great as a short stay over the weekend or if you just want to sit outside your RV and relax. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
The narrow dirt/weed/grass sites on the north half of the park remain unchanged. In the year since our last visit they have removed many of the other narrow sites and replaced them with over 90 all new sites with a concrete pad or a level gravel pad. All of these new sites include a table on a concrete pad with wide new grass strips between the sites and new hookups. The premium sites in the 300 section on the south end of the park remain unchanged: dirt/grass but are wide and long enough for a toad. The playground equipment is all new and they put in a good sized dog play area and are making other improvements to the tent area. There are new Wi-Fi antennas with a strong signal where we were in the 300 section. More improvements continue to be made. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Flying Flags is getting pricey. But, the location is superb -- lots of lovely, independent wineries to visit and minutes from downtown Solvang, a pseudo-Danish village with marvelous restaurants and touristy and non-touristy stores. A bus stops in front of the park and ferries guests to the nearby Chumash gambling casino. On our last visit to Flying Flags, rain had delayed the remodeling of some sites into "super sites" -- our "super site" was still dirt. So, FF sold large woven mats at cost and a generous site cost discount. Not unexpected as the staff is always helpful and surprisingly cheerful despite the heavy traffic the park receives. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We stayed here in the fall using one of the winery tour packages. Our spot was tight; we have a 36' with double slideouts equaling a 13' width. However, on this trip they have made some major improvements to the facility overall. There is construction going on, but they try to keep as many as possible away from it. Talking with management we found out they have dropped 1-2 sites from a few rows to make more room for units our size. The park personnel is wonderful, very friendly and helpful, and the campground is well maintained. Our fee included 2 adults and 2 teenagers; the dog was free and this was during the Santa Barbara Wine Festival. To put prices in perspective we were in the top site, and the Motel 6 across the freeway was $73.99 for 1 person this weekend. We camped here in a Motorhome.
A very well situated park to visit the Buellton, Solvang, Los Olivos area. Just off the freeway but quiet, this park is big and busy. Lots of amenities here like pool, rec room, small store, and so on. Within close walking distance of Anderson's Split Pea food and shop. We picked up a case of the excellent but hard to find tomato soup. Be sure to visit Los Olivos when here. Lovely small artsy town that was in the movie Sideways. Don't bother to drive to the beach, very bad access. Mostly military on the beach. Friendly staff and people staying here. Lots of smiling faces. But be sure to reserve ahead for weekends. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Flying Flags is a great location - and you have the option of boondocking on the grass (which we often do). We stay here at least once a year, sometimes more. It's a bit pricey; but they have a captive audience - so they can get away with it. They always welcome you with fresh baked cookies, and acknowledge return customers. Very friendly staff. They're upgrading this year, so the price might go up. There's construction at the moment - but it's not noisy or inconvenient. We camped here in a Motorhome.
The owners/managers of this park have gotten greedy. We've been stopping over at this park when travelling back and forth between Northern and Southern California for many years. Although they have a large pool and nice, clean facilities, it's not a high class destination resort. I just called to make reservations for this coming Christmas and found that the rates had almost doubled. What? For a narrow, muddy weed infested site just because I need 50 amp service. Oh, they've added WiFi, woopee! There are other parks in the area that I will be checking out rather than pay these ridiculous rates. We camped here in a Motorhome.
UNDER CONSTRUCTION! Water turned off at times. Construction noise, place is tourn up and management seems not to care about RVers inconvenience. Call first to confirm. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Flying Flags is currently undergoing a lot of renovation. Sites close to the RV office are being significantly upgraded to paved, landscaped, and level pads. This will be a big improvement over the gravel and/or grassy sites currently in use. For the most part, RV campsites can handle the largest trailers and motorhomes. At least 80 percent of the sites have full hookups. My wife and I love the pool and spas that Flying Flags features...all very well maintained and available for use year round. We have camped here many times over the years. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Nicely landscaped. Walking distance to restaurants. Tight pull thru site with neighbors almost on top of each other. Sewer hook ups not usable for a lot of Class B motorhomes as they are so far to rear of site one would have to block most of the road to dump. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We stayed at a premium plus site, thus the extra cost. Concrete pad, well kept grass, fresh flowers, spotlessly clean pool and spa, and pet friendly. Less expensive sites were also nice, just a bit further from the pool, and crushed stone, not concrete, no flowers. They have a casual restaurant/snack bar, and Ellen's, a dinner from the 40's is within walking distance. I plan to go there again just to get away. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We go to Solvang once a year, but we always stay in a hotel. We stopped here for a night on our way to Morro Bay. We got a grass sight with hook-ups. We felt very welcome by the staff, we got cookies on check-in. The sites were close together and our site was not level. We would upgrade to a wider, pull-thru with concrete next time. But, we loved being close to Solvang and Pea Soup Andersons. They are pet friendly, have a nice pool, and a nice playground. They rent fireplaces so you can have a fire at your site. Gas, grocery, and food are very close. We would love to come again and get to spend more time here. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This is a park that appears to have been here for a while. None the less, it is very well maintained. There is some wear and tear on the lawn strips of the campsites that is consistent with the use by campers. You can see that they are making an effort to upgrade the campsites as time and money permit. This is a nice big facility to roam around in. We were traveling with another family and though the campground is not set up with opposing campsites, you can turn things around and make it work. They have 'Dog Runs', but they are not much bigger than a dog kennel at your local doggie bed and breakfast. The pool area is very well maintained and there is a arcade room and a Play ground for the kids to entertain themselves. The staff was very friendly and helpful getting us in on very short notice. There was a major fire at Lake Cachuma that caused us to make a last minute change in our plans. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We always camp here when we go to Solvang, they've remodeled some of the sites, we got one of the new pull-throughs, which even though a little pricey was very nice. We've stayed here numerous times and each time they have been very busy, I highly recommend call ahead reservations. The store has very limited supplies but the staff is very friendly. We will definitely stay here again. One last recommendation, on the road to Solvang you must eat at AJ Spurs, they have the best steaks. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is one of our favorite places to stay when traveling south to San Diego. Staff is friendly/accommodating, restaurants are in close proximity, and park has a nice pool area. Dogs are very welcome here. This park never seems to let us down. We're happy campers! We camped here in a Motorhome.
Staff was excellent. Park was in a great location but the sites were all dirt and not very level. They could make this a truly great park if they would put in paved pads or at least level gravel. I will stay here again only if I have to. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This RV park was clean and lots of fun for our kids. We camped here with our camping group and paid extra for premium sites. For the price we paid, I would expect the premium sites to be paved and level. They were neither. In addition, we have 3 children. I resent campgrounds who make us pay more because of that...we had to pay per child, extra. I agree with previous reviewers...book the premium sites or deluxe sites west of the office or you'll be near the long term sites that are not kept up nicely at all and you will barely have room to breathe outside of your site. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Stayed over the Memorial weekend. They gave everyone a fresh baked cookie when check-in, that was a very nice touch. Most of the sites are back-in. Here's the pros and cons list. Pros: Clean; near Solvang with local shuttle that can take you into Solvang for $1.50; WiFi is great; modern kids playground; Casino is 15 minutes away. There's a pool and a small game room. There's no bike path but kids can bike around the campsite. Cons: Expensive; sites are too close to each others; nothing to do except visiting Solvang; Some permanent old RV/trailers on site. This is good 1-2 nights stay but not longer. No refund on early check-out. We camped here in a Motorhome.
I've stayed here many times in both a trailer and now a motorhome, but the sites are becoming more and more rutted and uneven. We stayed in an electric/water site (we usually get full hookups) and the sites were so close together that we could hear our neighbors' every move. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a very nice, clean park and we had a very good site. The staff at check-in was efficient and pleasant. The pool area was well kept but their "heated pool" was not heated. This was a great disappointment. We would camp here again! We camped here in a Motorhome.
Wi-fi worked perfectly. Pool, restrooms, general store, grounds and facility were all clean. I would re-think the "permanent" residents......some trailers were way too Sanford & Son for me. Hooks ups at the far end of the site mean some long connections, so be prepared. Sites are far too narrow.....your neighbor will likely be in your site with his awning and slideout if he is there before you. Entry into and out of "drive-thru" sites is tricky with a large rig. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We stayed here as part of a larger Greyhound Gathering in Solvang. The check-in was quick and friendly. We later added a couple of days to our stay as we enjoyed the area so much. About the only negative I could find would be that the Premium sites are dirt, with leaves, which get a heavy dew on them nightly. We tracked a lot of junk into the motorhome as we had to take out hounds outside on a regular basis. We will stay here on our next trip to the Central Coast area in 2008. We camped here in a Motorhome.
One of the best RV parks we've stayed at so far. Well maintained, friendly staff, great location. Would stay there again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
The staff was friendly and helpful. The office and store has recently been remodeled. Up to two pets are free and they give you a pet bag containing two plastic bags for picking up after your dog and some dog treats. Humans get cookies! The biggest problem with the sites were all the gopher holes, causing uneven ground and hazardous walking in the dark. They have free WiFi which worked very well for us. Only once did I have difficulty connecting. The long termers are parked separately from the short termers. Being there in December, even the premium spots were not full. We enjoy staying there. It is close to Solvang, wine country, Pismo Beach - many places to visit and things to do. We camped here in a Motorhome.
I would give this campground a higher rating except that for the price I think a fire ring should be included ( they will rent them to you for $10.00/night) and the WiFi that they advertize was next to non existant we were unable to use it at all. The outdoor "family" spa was look warm at best. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Good place with full hookups. Good location, close to town, and close enough for day trips to Santa Barbara. Seems very well organized. Has some long term residents in here, some of the trailers are kind of an eyesore, but most of the short term camping is kept away from them. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
The most overrated park I have stayed. Like mentioned above, the sites are the size of a sardine can, the prices are way high for the service. There is no such thing as concrete here and you are parked in dirt and mud. Some have gravel. The lawns for campsites are in bad shape. We were told that we could not move in early for watering of the site. Our site was gravel. The hookups are old and at the very end of sites, I needed about a 30 foot extension for the sewer hose. Office looks understaffed and they can be a little rude. They were very polite when reservations were made. They were told the size of our rig and truck. We were told there was no problem with the width and or length. Our slide was in the site next to us, the awning was in the other site. We were told that this was the only option, and could not be moved even with other open sites the entire weekend. Staff was rude when a trailer they were guiding into the site next to us almost hit our trailer. Basically was told to get back into my trailer and that I could do nothing as far as a compliant. I do not know what the people that are rating this park are comparing it too, but I feel they need to stay at other parks for a comparison. We will dry camp on a side road before returning to this park. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Reserved and paid for a week stay in premium site, when arrived was told premium sites were taken by a rally. Gave us a vacant site where permanent trailers were. Site was 14'x45' for a 40' RV. With slides out door to RV was 3' from next RV. Premium sites are tight all other sites are worthless. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Greeted with warm cookies, what could be better? I was impressed with everything. Staff was very friendly, and made me fell like they were glad to see me. Bathrooms were very clean as was the whole camp grounds. I'll be back. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
First time at Flying Flags RV Resort in Buellton, CA, reason was that a Festival was going on in Ventura and every park was full. First impression was great. Pull into the main entrance at approx. 11:40 A.M. Go in to check-in and we are told we can either leave and come back at 2:00, or park at the field in the back with no hook-ups until 2:00. The reason was that they do maintenance from 12:00 to 2:00, checkout is 12:00. I explain that I have a meeting in Ventura at 4:00 and don’t have time to wait around until 2:00 and then try and get to Ventura. They offer to give me an early check-in for a fee, even though they had to do maintenance. Well we get to the site, all gravel, must be hard to maintain. The site is a pull through, but is so narrow and with a 90 degree turn to enter, I had to make a 4 point turn to enter the site with a trailer next to me. I ran over the site boundaries with the truck and trailer to get into the site. I get the trailer into the site, with the trailer in the center of the site, the slide hangs over to the left site and the awning hangs over to the right site. I go back to the office and explain what is happening, and am told there is nothing they can do and all the sites are pretty much the same size. I was told that my trailer is on the smaller side that they see and everyone else has no problem, the same on the phone when the reservations were made. (When I made reservations I told them I had a 33’ trailer with a crew cab long bed truck, so sharp corners were not the easiest thing to do.) We spend Thursday night without much more communication with anyone in the campground. Friday I talked with one of the park attendants regarding early check-in and was told that they let people in after 12:00 without a fee, I checked in at 11:40. So 20 more minutes I would not had to pay a fee. I get asked to move my truck back because it is sticking out into the road. The trailer is all the way to the back of the site, and the truck’s front left tire is into the road with the tailgate about 3” from the hitch. He says that I can lay my tailgate down to get under the trailer, until he sees the front support for the 5th wheel. Saturday rolls around and a couple try to get there 33’ trailer in next to us, awning side. Another attendant is trying to guide the couple in, when I heard them I opened the trailer door and could not see light between their trailer and my awning. I told the guy to hold on and get into a heated discussion with the attendant about the size of the spaces, how close he was, etc. He tells me basically to be quite and get back into the trailer and let him do his job. I was told that I did not have to stay there and that anything I said could not get him fired. I put my awning down and the couple starts apologizing for the attendant, and his attitude towards me. This was the first interaction others, other than being unhappy, that we have had. Other than the sites, personalities of the employees and lack of help, the customers were not all that pleasing. Walked through the sites, did not even ask, would not respond when asked questions. Just seemed we were outcasts for the first time on vacation. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Nice family-oriented park with free WiFi. Sites are not paved, but we had no dust problem due to the nicely cared-for grounds. The staff was friendly and I saw one wiping my RV clean after he accidentally sprayed water on the side if it. This was something I would not have noticed had he failed to clean it. This speaks of integrity within their staffing ranks and also rates highly in my book. We used the resort as a staging ground for day trips to Solvang. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We have stayed here before and liked it but feel that the prices have gotten too high. They do not offer any discounts such as Good Sam or AAA. Most sites are so narrow that you can’t let out your awning. With our 36 foot motorhome I had to drive through the site behind us to get into our site. I would have never made the turn from the road around the trees into our site. They do have larger Premium site but at a Premium price. We arrived at 1:00p and they made us sit in the overflow area until 2:00p before we could occupy our site. They said they were watering, however our site was dry on arrival. I think this might the last time we stay here. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We love this park. We've come here often. We like all the new improvements at the park. The staff is so friendly and the park is so convenient to everything we like to see & do in the wine country. We'll be back again and again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
As stated in some of the previous reviews I too believe this park is a bit over-rated. Although the staff was very helpful and friendly, the campground was no where near what I'd expected. We arrived after dark with another family and given our sites. We pulled into our site fine, but the sites were so tight that our slide-out was into the next camping area. Our friends had a large tree in their site and were unable to level their trailer. A positive point is that the staff moved us to another area and was able to keep us together. It was a bit expensive and the park allows extended stays, I'll say no more about that. We will probably not stay here again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Probably one of the most overrated parks. You could call it a 10 if you like being stuffed in like a sardine. There is no such thing as concrete here and you are parked in dirt and mud at most sites. Some have gravel. The lawns for campsites are in bad shape. The hookups are old and at the very end of sites. I saw some fifth wheels that needed about a 30 foot extension for their sewer hose. Things work OK though. Office looks understaffed and they can be curt. Lots of customers because of proximity to Solvang. What this park really needs is some competition. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a very nice park in a beautiful area but even our premium site was small, if we had sat at our picnic table we would have been right up against the neighbors slide and so would our canopy had we pulled it out. The facilities are very nice, the pool too small for so many people, I think this park is overrated, we felt like we were camping in a sardine can. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This is a nice clean park. The sites were trying to be grass, but were almost all dirt. Yes WiFi, but you have to pay an extra $5 a day. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
I'm giving this place a "1" having never seen it, nor stayed there. Let me explain. We are new to RVing, and this place looked like the perfect destination for our first trip in our new TT. The staff from the park was initially very friendly on the phone. When I explained that I have 4 children under the age of 5, she told me that my parents would not be able to join us in our trailer or on our site because the site maximum is 6 people. I explained that my two youngest are infants, but she said that it was just too bad, my parents would not be allowed to stay with us. I'm sure they have this rule to control large groups, but I fail to see the logic of turning away someone willing to pay $50/night for fours nights in a brand new trailer with a quiet family. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Very nice park with friendly staff. It has small sites but very pleasant with many trees. Would give it a 10 if the WiFi was free instead of $5 a night. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Liked the grassy sites, a little bit of road noise but not too troublesome. Easy in and out of the site for our 30 ft class A, mostly level and big enough but certainly not spacious. The park has a nice looking pool that we did not use, decent laundry. Bathrooms/showers were fine. Great location for a day trip into Solvang. Not cheap but we'd stay here again if we were in the area. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Althought this was our "maiden voyage" in our new Monaco Coach we really enjoyed ourselves. The staff was very friendly. Sites were very clean, although closer together than I would like. New playground equipment is a plus for the little ones. On the whole I hope that all of our future destination parks are as nice as this one! We camped here in a Motorhome.
The staff here is efficient and very helpful. This park has a great location. Solvang is just a few miles down the road, and makes for a great day of shopping, dining and entertainnent. There are several wineries and tasting rooms close by. My only complaint is that the sites are very close together - when a neighboring motorhome arrives or departs it sounds like it is driving in on top of you. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

This outstanding park just got better. Always our favorite anyway, they are under new
ownership and they are bringing a lot of improvements. Expanding the store and registration area, they have added online reservations from their web site (we love this) and best of all, they now have high-speed wireless internet (WiFi) throughout the whole park. The best is getting better! They are even adding new lanscaping. Tons of things to do in the area, and now even more reasons to stay here. Absolutely, the best park in central California, and the friendliest staff! We camped here in a Motorhome.

Near Solvang and a great destination park, even though it is not near the ocean. Great staff, great grassy sites, though somewhat unlevel. Plenty to see and do. Wonderful sports field with plenty of horseshoe pits and room. Pool area and clubhouse is great. One our favortite places to camp near the central Calif. coast. Have stayed here numerous times. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This park was built in the 70s and has only improved over the years. The first time we stayed there was with a tent in 1976 and again spent a night there with a 33' TT in 1982. This time we spent a week there. It was quiet and pleasant. There are a few full-timers there but they didn't pose any problems. Mid-week there were many empty spaces but we were there two weekends and it was full. We were glad that we had made a reservation. Everything at the park was clean and in good working order and the people were very friendly and helpful. Solvang, a danish town is only three miles away. State beaches are less than 20 and Santa Barbara is about 35-40 miles - lots to see and do. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
