    Wholesome family fun is right at your fingertips. A visit to the farm starts with some instructions to know how to pick the tastiest berries. When you pick your own, they are less costly and you can sample them right from the vine. If you don’t have time to pick your own, we can have our experts do it for you.

    Camping is boondocking. There are no hook ups. Most sites are on gravel and have some shade.

    Pets must be on a leash. No pets are allowed in the fields due to environmental regulations.

    Contact the Host for information and reservations.

    The U-pick fruit is available and staffed May 1 - July 15 from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday. On Sunday and Monday, it is open by appointment. For wine tasting the rest of the year, we are open by appointment from 8AM-5PM.

    The farm stand sells items made with fruit includes jams, cobblers, and fruit wine. Wine tasting is also available.

    Space one: Full hook up for trailers, 5th wheels, motor homes of all sizes. On flat concrete slab. Easy in, easy out. Only one space with full hook up.

    Space two: Flat area on the dirt with water and electricity. No dumping.

    Currently our campground is under water so no tent camping or water activities. Most river campgrounds are flooded. This is still a quiet, safe place to spend the night. Good place to take a safe walk.

    Our family's heritage in the San Joaquin Valley is over 100 years, we are California grown! The land was purchased from the railroad in 1908 by Grandpa Coen when he immigrated to the USA after his service to the British Empire during WW1. Grandpa established and maintained the vineyards during his life in California's Central Valley which he left to his daughter, Irene. She kept the farming tradition going with her husband, Al, and they expanded by purchasing surrounding land and planting more vines. Today their daughter, Cheryl, and son-in-law Randy continue the family farming tradition for the next century.

    We are working vineyards of 100 acres and family-owned for 100+ years. We have wide-open spaces to enjoy the peace and quiet of country life.

    Camping by reservation only. Harvesting activities in September can reduce availability.

    There is nobody on-site and no store to purchase products, our vineyards produce Sun Maid Raisins (not wine).

    Waste of time

    If you aren’t sleeping in a camper or in your car, don’t waste your time. It’s a parking lot. Didn’t clearly specify

    Nice

    The other "resorts" on the river need to come here and see what a real campground is like. 

    Either way this is a nice campground with nice stuff like a pool, hot tub, clubhouse, and more.

    Nothing, just nothing

    There is nothing to do at Lindy's other than the river and horseshoes, oh and watch the staff run around trying to look important.

    What a joke of a "resort", California folk have no clue what a resort is.

    Horrible

    Rough campground, they pick and choose the rules they want to enforce and who the rules apply to.

    The ladies at the store must be paying people to leave good reviews.

    Not Impressed

    We arrived after carefully following the website and emailed instructions, as our RV GPS and Waze would not have gotten us here. We pulled up in the small parking lot in front of the entry gate. Although we arrived during open hours, there wasn't anyone in the office, but a kid came up to us and offered to get his mom, who was the manager. However, the kid came back alone and told us our information package was on the front board outside the gate and had everything we needed to include the gate code. We then proceeded to our assigned FHU site 34 that was a pull-in with utilities set up for a motorhome. The site was large enough that we could have pulled in, unhooked, and moved the truck out, but we were concerned about connecting to the utilities in this configuration. Back-in site 33 with FHUs was empty, so we called the office number and the man who answered didn't know if it was empty but would go check in the office if we wanted to move sites. It was obvious we were putting him out, but he did call back a few minutes later and said that back-in site 33 was open for our two-day stay. The pads here are all sand, and after settling in, we noticed the campground(CG) was about half full with either residents or transient workers. Some sites were organized, and others were not. The way the large-sized sites here are arranged, you can park your rig in various configurations. The utilities worked fine, including a decent water pressure of around 40 psi. Supposedly, they have Wifi, as indicated by the multiple repeaters around the park, but we received no instructions/password and didn’t see a guest network to try and log in. This was fine as we put out our Starlink and we had 4 bars on Verizon. We are in no way prudes, but several of the private WiFi names we could see on“Other Networks” were pretty disgusting making us question who we were parked by. They do have a nice pool area with two hot tubs. There is also a nice-sized dog park with two separate fenced areas. According to the front of the office, they sell sundries and souvenirs, but they never opened the office during our stay even though should have according to the hours on the door. From the information on their website, the King River that runs adjacent to the CG is pretty much dried up this time of year(January) but fills for the summer season. Sorry to say we didn’t“feel it” on this CG and would not want to be here in the busy season.

    A Place to Sleep

    Passing through this was a fine place to sleep for the night, but for the price of $70 for just water and electric (when we typically stay at very nice holiday KOAs for the same rate) - we felt disappointed with our stay. The bathrooms were clean-ish, but there were still cobwebs and very DIY. In the men’s room, you would step on loose tile that would squish water up through it. For the price point, we expected professionally renovated bathrooms. Sites are on gravel and pretty close together with no privacy. Within the park there was noise late into the night that sounded like an ice cream truck and we could hear the nearby train throughout the night. In summary, for the experience we should’ve stayed at the Love’s down the road rather than spend the money here.

    Remote, quiet and great history

    While the sounds of highways and trains abound, the historical significance of this amazing site isn't lost to the sands of time. A pleasant, barely off the beaten path campground, this is worth a stop over before entering the hustle and bustle of southern California urban life.

    Walk around the town and listen to the history of this very significant town that was once the site of the largest hotel between Los Angeles and San Francisco.

    We are the only people here

    Great park to get some shuteye and be refreshed for your next adventure.

    It’s hot!! In the summer this place is very hot. However, there are full hookups to run your AC and there are two saltwater pools to jump into. We stopped at this park for one night, twice as a halfway point between southern and northern California. Right off the I-5 freeway next to a Shell and Valero gas station. All sites are pull throughs and we found the gravel to be very level. We did not unhitch for a early morning exit. Bathrooms and showers are cleaned regularly. A rain and windstorm came through in the middle of the night and palm and almond tree leaves were in the pool but by 9am it was cleaned up. The staff is friendly and responsive, and they have a little store that includes some RV supplies such as hoses. Want a quick meal? There is a Baja Fresh and Subway in the Shell gas station next store. Great park to get some shuteye and be refreshed for your next adventure.

    Basic pull off area that is good for a nights rest. There are a couple of gas stations and fast food restaurants nearby. The parking area is relatively quite and there is a good amount of room to park and sleep.

    Will steal your money, points, and flash you in the bathroom!

    Absolutely the worst human beings on the planet. A man flashed my son in the bathroom and blamed my son for it.

    We camped in a non-electric tent site for $30, I was charged $68 but she (the manager) used up all my points to pay for it, and pocketed the $30 I already dropped in the overnight box.

    They only want you to come, sleep, and leave. Don't even think about enjoying the property or cabin.

    They have cameras watching you and will nit pick you to death. They will tell you where to park, then get mad at you for parking there.

    The employees drive around, obviously under the influence. I once witnessed the maintenance man running over the fire pit. Smh.

    Good quick stop

    Places fairly clean. Probably 95% semi full timers. Pool was closed and half the washers were broken. Very convenient off highway. Pretty easy booking online the day of stay. I would only do 1 night travel stay, but that's me and it's great for that. Garbage and recycling available.

    Great place along the I-5 freeway

    BTW you can’t hear the freeway! 

    Nice people, flat sites

    Didn’t use restrooms or showers but close by. 

    WI-FI was good right up until 5pm or so when people got home/ checked in, then it slowed way down,

    Such nice people - we left a pair of glasses in the office while checking in, and by the time we were parked they sent a nice man in a golf cart to our site with the glasses! Above & beyond.

    Definitely will stay here again.
