We went to Cerro Gordo Ghost Town and had a fabulous day! The history, the people (Steven, Greg and…read moreof course, Brent) and the views made our day great. Yes, the drive up the road was a bit rough and we were glad to have our 3500, but absolutely didn't let that stop us from going. This was on our list to go and visit for a long time. Glad we went and we'll be back! One, because we love it and two, to support Brent. Thank Cerro Gordo team for a fabulous day. Dawn & Rob Your Fulltime RV Supporters

This place has survived quite a lot: fires, floods, landslides, and now the Rona, and you could never tell from how beautiful the grounds are. Although the hatchery is no longer fully operational, they still hatch fish for educational purposes. It was an unexpectedly informative and fun place to spend 30 minutes,.

While fish still live there, it no longer houses the famous "California Golden Trout". The Fish Hatchery now holds an intriguing museum with tons of history, facts, and artifacts of the West's nature. The staff are very nice and thoughtful volunteers, whom are very helpful.

I really enjoyed my stay at Palisades Lodge! It's clean, modern, quiet, and the parking is awesome…read more One of the best parts is the location; it's an easy 20-minute drive to Big Pine Lakes. Check-in is incredibly smooth and convenient, too; it's all self-check-in, which you can do either online through their portal link or right at the kiosk downstairs. The nearby conveniences are incredibly clutch, too. If you arrive early before check-in, you can grab some great pizza right next door. There is also a cafe next door that opens at 5:00 AM, which is perfect for grabbing coffee and breakfast before heading out early to the lake. The Chevron across the street is super convenient when you need to fill up on gas, water, snacks, or grab-and-go food. Even better, there is a BBQ spot just a 1-minute walk away that is absolutely perfect for great post-hike eats when you're starving. I highly recommend staying here!

12/10/21 My first…read moretime driving from LA to Reno on the 395, I was worried about the snow. Good news: it was a beautiful, easy scenic drive! There were only 2 sections of this drive that had snow, so thankful as I will be taking the 95 to Vegas soon. For everyone else following and doing this drive, Bishop City is the best and most affordable (Gas) place to drive. Of course do NOT stop at the first gas station you see because they will be the most expensive. Quality/Quantity - In my youth, we would NEVER stop at these rest areas; it was always Starbucks or fast food. These rest areas are much easier to go in and out! I save $$$ and I don't end up over-caffeination or eating excessive amounts of fast food. I am glad to find a rest stop, it is very basic here, but again I do not need much. Atmosphere - Good to be able to take a break on a long drive. Don't expect much here. Service - None Price - FREE!!!!!! Owner Suggestion - Our tax $ at work, thank you.

I arrived at taboose creek campground July 7th after a lengthy motorcycle ride from Long Beach, CA…read more The campsite was clean, quiet, and held a notice of my reservation for that night. I chose site 004 because it has a fire ring and is located next to the creek. The night was calm with the occasional rustling of leaves cause by the wind and the night sky visibility was fantastic for me due to little or no light pollution. The restrooms were well maintained and stocked with plenty of toilet paper. Small flying insects are plentiful in the area but not very bothersome. The site would be much better if showers were available. There is easy access to pay for your site at the campsite if you arrive without reservations, just look out for posted reservations before you occupy a site.
