Great spot!

We stayed here on an off week. Almost had the place to ourselves except for the full timers. The amenities were not open...off season and/or COVID...but we went and took a look and got a thumbs up by our 7 year old daughter. The place looks great for a summer stay!

We used the spot to not be in the snow but make the trip up to Iron Mountain Sno-Park...a 45 minute drive. The snow looked great for skiing but not so much for snowmen or sledding. Wish we had snow shoes!

The next day it was rainy so we drove an hour to Sacramento to visit the zoo and old town. On the way back we stopped at Sutter Creek (an old mining town) and had locally made ice cream in Pine Grove. If you are looking for hipster coffee — Sutter Creek is the way to go!

On our last day we checked out and drove the trailer over to the Indian Grinding Rock State Park. Very few in the parking lot which allowed us to take up a bunch of spots...otherwise there would t have been parking for us. We did the southern trail nature hike and saw the grinding rocks. It’s a must see in our opinion.

On our way out we stopped at the local taco truck...advice from a local. They serve breakfast burritos all day. Get the chorizo. It is the most legit breakfast burrito you’ll ever get!

Bottom line — it’s a great spot to get around the area. We want to come back in the warmer months. Only issue was the internet was not working...and our T-Mobile phones didn’t have coverage in the area. That’s on us though. If you want cell service and reliable internet I don’t think you can hold the campground liable for that!
