All Pavement, smaller sites but overall a nice stay. Lot's of stuff for kids to do. Downside, you share utilities with neighbor so your doors open into a common area. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We have camped here several times and have discovered there are actually 3 different areas to camp. The main area is mostly paved with a large rectangular grass area with restroom/showers and tent camping spaces. The next area is smaller and lettered A thru L. All of these spaces back up to a wooded creek. There are large trees and much lawn throughout this 2nd area and a miniature train passes through. The final area is all lawn parking amongst large, mature sycamore trees down a lightly sloping road to the aforementioned creek. We have camped in all 3 areas and enjoy the "lettered" spaces the most. The Casa de Fruta restaurant is open 24-hours a day for those not wishing to cook or just wanting to enjoy a good home-cooked style meal at a reasonable price. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Visited over a weekend with a club so there were 30 plus rigs of every size participating. Pull through sites are plentiful, but they are close together, with shared utility pedestals, and side by side water hookups. Just adequate room to roll out slides. The sites are paved as well as the roads, mostly one big parking lot. Easy access from Highway 152 into the park. Club house is well suited to large groups and if your club has members who are without an RV the motel is adjacent to the RV park. Mens rest room facilities was under construction and unavailable. It is a theme park with fruit stands, candy stores, wine store, a miniture railroad and carousel for childrens enjoyment. I would stay here again for a group/club event.

I agree with the previous poster about the spaces being very close together. Hookups are "shared" between spaces so you are parked opposite direction with your neighbor and your doors face each other the RV next across from you. I didn't like this set up as you don't have any privacy. The facilities, rec room and bathrooms are nice. There is lots to do. Some of the permanents residents didn't keep their dogs on leashes but they are separate from the rest of the campers. Wifi was free and had a good signal. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a very basic park. Essentially a large paved parking lot with hookups, although there is a grassy tent area in the center of the campground. The east side of the park is primarily permanent residents. They seem to have all of the short term visitors stay on the opposite side. The park is kept clean and is a good overnighter, especially if you have kids. There is a ton of things for kids to do at Casa de Fruta including train rides, carrousel, gold panning, playgrounds, etc. We would stay again if passing through the area. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This campground is nicer than the campground in Hollister Hills Recreation Area. While this is off the freeway the park is kept clean. It's a short trip to the trails, and the fruit stand is close. I have driven by this place numerous times and stopped for the fruit. We finally stopped to camp. It was overall nice, and the place was clean. There was not much of a stream when we went, but you have easy in and outs. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Campground has been improved over the past number of years. Sites are a bit cramped and, in the area we stayed, all paved. Easy to access the site. Close to highway noise. Staff friendly, but charged for extra person, even though there were only two in our party. Good overnight stop. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We just love this place. There are plenty of sites and easy to get to. A huge Chevron station makes it easy to fuel even the biggest RVs, including diesel rigs. The park is mostly paved but with lots of room for the big shade trees at each site and the view of the surrounding hills is cathartic. A small stream runs down the side and it was very active during our stay in March. While the park does not advertise WiFi, it is available through a third party vendor locally. There are several very nice restaurants right there plus a huge theme park that is used for various event throughout the year. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is just a weekend getaway for us, but we do it often. There is always a lot to do here and even though the facilities sometimes seem a bit strained, everyone seems to have a good time. We always manage to get our non-camping friends to meet us here and everyone enjoys themselves. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Not real impressed with this place. It has all the amenities but there is no control of the other campers, very noisy at night. We were not in the blacktop area, where there is little room between RV's. We were down with the grass and trees. The employees are not helpful or friendly. They have two porta potties for a full campground on Memorial Day Weekend, I saw women letting their little girls go potty in the bushes due to the filthy conditions of the porta potties. I'm glad I was in an RV. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a very crowded campground. We had to move to three different sites before we found one that was big enough for us to open up our slides. We never were able to open up our awning. This park has great potential, super location, restaurant and many things for little children to do, it just needs a lot of maintenance done. We camped here in a Motorhome.
