Really Liked Y Knot

We followed our GPS plus there is great signage leading you to the Y Knot Winery, which is the same route to go to Three Island Crossing State Park. The state park is adjacent to the winery campground(CG). You first come to the older CG across from the winery building, which is better suited for smaller rigs. We were in the newer CG a little further up the road in pull-through site 26 with FHUs. As we had a reservation with an assigned site number, we went straight to our site, set up, and then walked back over to the winery to register. The sites have an interesting layout as they are long, yet the front and back of site not really defined. You have to adjust your rig on the gravel pad to fit your rig to the utilities towards the back of the site. You then ensure that either side of your rig isn’t too far on the gravel road. The CG is bare bones with no picnic tables, fire pits, nor WiFi(saw a review for$6 Wifi but didn’t see any networks in the new area). It was no issue for us as we were enjoying the winery and golf course. Since the CG is new, the trees have not matured and you have no problem with satellite. We got one bar on Verizon. Their water pressure is high so you will need a reducer. We got an end cap site and enjoyed the large yard. The CG info states there’s a pet area, but there’s no sign or fenced in area. The pet area is a grassy area along the golf course side of the CG according to the map. There was no road noise, but there was a distant train or two during the night. There’s a lot to like about this CG: nice sites, wine tasting, decent food, and a fun golf course.

Wine tasting in dry camp

This would have been a better visit if we wouldn’t have stayed in dry lot 2. Dry lots 1 and 2 are in the restaurant/winery parking lot with not much room to sit outside. Next time we will stay in hookup area. It’s got grass and places to sit outside. We paid for two nights, but we only stayed one.

Nice quiet park for 2 night stay

We enjoyed our 2-night stay here. It was just a couple minutes off the freeway, with a golf course on one side and a winery on the other. Water and electric hook-ups were in good shape, with a dump site on the way out. Liked the ability to just pull-through the space. Contrary to some of the other reviews, we didn’t find the sound of the trains disruptive at all. We didn't try the restaurant across the street, but it was always busy. The Three Island Crossing State Park is an easy 10 minute walk down the road through the vineyards, which was a nice stroll. We stayed over Sunday night and were the only ones in the park!

Lovely little spot

Small RV park in a really pretty spot on the edge of a small winery. They were full when we arrived and inquired about a spot and the owners offered us a free spot in an empty field on the edge of their winery. Score! Much more privacy and beautiful views.

Carmela RV park

I think they have the wrong name listed on here for this RV park. We stayed one night here in our RV and only was $35 for a night with only 30 and 50 AMP hookups. There’s some sites with no hookups at all.
