    Galley kitchen
    Willie W.

    Spent a weekend at TT, one full day was spent at Gilroy gardens, which is only 13 minutes away. They have bacci, basketball, tennis, pickle ball, mini golf, playground and a huge pool. The campground is very dusty and they have many extended stay campers/members who seem like tenants. The staff communication is abrasive and questions are met with a very condescending tone. Be aware there is no store on site, which is inconvenient and a missed opportunity for them. If you've forgotten anything or run out of anything you'll need to drive a ways to pick it up. No hot tub, but the pool is huge and has a bathroom on site. We stayed in a TT cabin, which advertised it could sleep 4. That is a joke. The futon is miniature only 3x4.5 feet and hard as a rock. In reality it could sleep a family of 3 and not comfortably. It does have a galley kitchen with toaster, coffee maker, pots, pans and silverware + gas stove and fridge/freezer, which was not advertised, and a pleasant surprise. They also provide linens and bath towels. We had fun but are really looking forward to sleeping in our own beds. On the fence if we would return, but we would definitely not rent the TT cabin again. *note that we paid $211 a night and were expected to sweep and take out the trash. If they deem our clean unsatisfactory we are subject to a $150 cleaning fee on top of what we have already paid.

    This is an Encore Thousand Trails location. Trash. Front gate (who claims "campground ranger") person is incredibly rude. I think she's the owner but I'm not totally certain. Makes you feel like you're a criminal with very aggressive interrogation and proof of paperwork demands. We had everything and still she was aggressive and condescending. It's been this way every single interaction (close to a dozen - no it's not our choice to come here but a family member keeps insisting "I'm sure it'll be better next time" - never again). I could make this a five page review with all the awful details of this "resort". The location in Morgan Hill is amazing but the park itself is run down. It's basic infrastructure (power, water pressure, cell service, etc) needs significant improvement. Shade is hard to come by in the sites. I'll give partial credit that some of the staff are actually quite great and delightful. They try hard but are really up against terrible odds. If you are otherwise independent adults with no children and you have no other place to choose? You'll be fine'ish. If you don't fit that picture, I'd strongly recommend going elsewhere. But the worst part? After this last gate interaction I read more reviews and found something alarming which I then researched myself. There are two registered sex offenders LIVING at this location as of the date of this review. Look it up yourselves, but do NOT harass the individuals - that's not the point of my mention here. Harassment is completely unacceptable. I want other parents to be aware of the risk that I had no idea of before (shame on me for that). I would have never thought that an RV resort would be something to verify - my bad entirely.

    Where to start, It was in the low 40's when we arrived and the cabin we rented did not have a working heater. We went to the office and they said they would send someone out to look. When we came back from dinner they put a stand alone heater that tripped the circuit breaker. We went back to office and they said to just re-set the breaker. I said I was on vacation and did not want to look for it. They sent someone out and he re-set it for us. Then we noticed the TV did not work. We brought our own DVD player so no big deal. The next day we went back to the office to let them know and they said the unit we were staying in was waiting for a part for the heater. So why would you rent it out!? The maintenance guy could not figure out TV but we did. The kitchen sink had a large stain. They could have replaced it as it was an over the counter sink. The sofa bed in living room was very uncomfortable as you sank in it and could feel all of the springs in it. There were dogs off leashes, against their policy, which did not make me feel safe. The upside was the location and the grounds as they seemed to be in good condition. Very large pool. They had a fake fireplace in living room under TV in a cabinet but it was sitting on a small piece of wood and when we turned it on it felt like it was going to fall over. The BBQ outside was rusted and did not seen to be in working order. The window would not stay open so we had to use a cutting board to keep open.

    This is what was across from us!

    Do they have firepits? or can you bring your own.

    Is there a limit to the age of your motor home?

    If u go on the website it tells u the safety standards and requirements for the Rv. It's not so much the age it's the safety condition that it's in it's can't be a danger to anyone nor be on its last balled tire, u get my point.

    This review is specifically for the Waterfall Loop Nature Trail within Uvas Canyon Park, one of the…read moreBay Area's many "hidden gems." Nothing like a relaxing hike along a pristine nature trail to clear the mind and nourish the soul. I noticed that one recent review calls this hike "easy" but as we were climbing the stairs from the parking lot, we encountered two young women who looked to be in their 20s who were going in the opposite direction, returning to the parking lot. "It's beautiful," one of them volunteered to us, "but it's really HARD!" And indeed, on the trail we encountered young people who were visibly panting, even though the Waterfall Loop trail is shorter and easier than others in the park. So you might want to take that into account, FWIW, as the expression goes. It might also be helpful to mention the following: * The rules of this park call for purchasing an entry pass/parking permit online BEFORE you arrive. The reason is the limited number of spaces. Your permit is good for entry during a ONE-HOUR WINDOW for which you make your reservation. The person in the car ahead of us hadn't purchased a permit in advance and was able to use a credit card to purchase it at the entry gate but that might only be done when ample space in the lot is available. * To access the park, you must drive through a private 110-acre resort (Sveadal, meaning Swedish Valley), owned and operated by the Swedish American Patriotic League since 1926. It's a SINGLE-LANE road that is NOT LEVEL (quite rocky). You will want to make sure that your vehicle is in reasonably good shape for this drive. The only really scary part of this road for us was that at a couple of points, the incline is steep enough that you can't see ahead of you on this single-lane road. So you have to trust that no other vehicle is going faster than it should be coming toward you, in the opposite direction. * One more point ("muy importante"/very important): If you're coming for the waterfalls, use your preferred AI platform to check to make sure that the water will be flowing at the time of your visit. That's because the falls are generally seasonal and dependent on the amount of rain during preceding months. The falls are not large and thundering but they are nonetheless quite beautiful and soothing. PS: For those who don't know Spanish but may be interested: The Park is named after the Spanish word for grapes (uvas), referring to the abundance of wild grapes (Vitis californica) that early settlers found growing along the creek and throughout the canyon.

Easy parking but you have to reserve a spot ($6) ahead of time. We only booked a day before and there were still a lot of availabilities. The reserved hour is only a time frame of when you have to arrive to the park but you can stay for as long as you would like. My printer ended up not working the day of so I called the park and they were so nice in offering that I just write my reservation number on paper and place it on my dash. The weather was so nice when we went (mid March) and almost all of the trail was beautifully shaded. We did the Waterfall Loop trail which was about 3 miles and lasted about 1 hr & 40 min. Moderately challenging and such a fun workout with absolutely amazing views. I loved everything about this park!

    One of California's bigger and more popular state parks, rightfully so. Not as touristy as Yosemite…read morebut this is on a bigger scale than most other Cali State Parks. I ventured here once before in my early 20s back in my school boy days and felt it was time to see it again with decades worth of a wiser perspective. And I was rewarded in spades. This park is about 30 miles or so south of Carmel on Highway 1, which in my opinion is one of the most glorious stretch of road to drive. Even though it is only 30 miles or so, it still takes almost an hour to travel from Carmel. The road winds around through many curves and undulations so you simply cannot drive freeway speeds here, nor should you want to. Enjoy the views, roll down the window and take in that coastal air, play your favorite tunes and just soak in the moment. Once at the park there are campsites, as well as cabins and even a full service lodge for those that don't want to rough it at all. You are now in mountainous terrain so lots of trees, a big creek and lots of hiking trails. I did a 3 day camp stay and loved it. They keep the park clean, maintain the restrooms and patrol the grounds frequently. Even though they have almost 200 campsites available, they spread it out nice so not everyone is in the same area. I could sometimes hear my neighbors but they were never in my direct view. That is a big plus for me when rating camp sites. People can also just get a day pass and enjoy the trails and creek without having to stay. My camping pass also got me to see a couple other California State Parks nearby on the same trip, so well worth the price of admission. Very lively with animal life which are unfortunately very used to humans. Squirrels and blue jays will not be shy to investigate what they can scavenge so do not leave any food unattended. Upon setting up camp I had a ziplock bag of trail mix on the picnic bench along with the rest of my gear. While I was setting up the tent with me somewhat close by, a stellar jay swooped in and pecked at the bag. It didn't take it but ripped a good hole in the bag. So just a big fyi to keep your food on guard/lock. The big creek runs through many of the sites. Some parts are mellow whilst other parts the water rushes pretty good. I was about 50 yards from the creek so I couldn't see it but I could hear it rolling through the valley. It was very relaxing to hear the cool water rolling downstream, whether at night or waking up at sunrise. And a myriad of birds will contribute with their morning songs, which makes for the best alarm clock. TRUST A little too big for my preference but still beautiful enough that I can revisit every other year. And just outside the park are the California coastline with Highway 1 carving through it. Some of the most breathtaking views Cali has to offer. Pfeiffer thanks for the reacquaintance and the confirmation that you are still indeed one of California's top gems.

    Great Stop in Big Sur -- Beautiful Trails, Swimming Spots, & Scenic Views!…read moreThe drive along CA-1 to get here is reason enough to visit--absolutely stunning coastal views the entire way! Pfeiffer Big Sur State Park itself has a lot to offer. There are tons of trails to explore, though keep in mind that there isn't a whole lot of signage. The good news is that if you start from a central area, most paths naturally end up bringing you around in a loop at some point, so it's pretty easy to find your way back. A few takeaways from our visit: Water & Swimming: There are plenty of great spots along the rocks to dip in and swim, which is perfect on a warm day. Accommodations: Great setup whether you like roughing it or prefer comfort. Plenty of campsite options, plus the Lodge if you'd rather stay in a room. Pfeiffer Falls Trail: Honestly, this hike was pretty underwhelming. The falls were down to just a trickle when we went, but at least it was a decent walk to log some good steps! Overall, it's a lovely park with plenty to do. Just keep your expectations low for the waterfall if it hasn't rained recently, and enjoy the river, trees, and incredible coastal drive!

The place is surrounded by beautiful green hills in the springtime and is close to town, yet surrounded by nature, a perfect blend. I was able to get a great spot that is somewhat private with privacy fencing and the lot is not too big and not too small (have a 32ft and could fit another 32ft right next to it and still have room. A little worried that new managers are coming in, so we'll see how that goes, but so far so good! The only downside is the cell service, but the manager let me know to turn my phone to wi-fi calling which worked, the only bad thing is I still don't get text messages...not too much of a deal since I don't really text, but I do miss an occasional work text. The washers and dryers are fairly inexpensive in relation to neighboring laundromats, which is helpful. One of least expensive parks in the area which is very appreciated in this over-inflated area. Overall, no major concerns, I would recommend this place to others who may be looking.

So last year my wife was diagnosed with cancer, so this year we decided to make the annual group camping trip a little easier by renting an rv. We rented a camper and arranged to have it dropped off to the campground, something the company had done regularly in the past. Unfortunately, a few weeks earlier, New Brighton started somewhat inconsistently requiring tow vehicles to be present at the campground at all times. I say inconsistent as it seems there are many campers at sites without tow vehicles present, and I am not sure why employees of the RV company we used, Alfredo and Roberto, had the lady at the gate so upset with them when so many other local campers seemed to have no issues. This afternoon, when Roberto was trying to drop off our camper at our campsite, she got so upset she threatened to call the police on him. I have some theories as to what might motivate the inconsistent treatment of visitors but I won't speculate openly. At any rate, with the camper denied entry, we dropped off our food at the campsite, which looked well maintained, and locked it in the generously sized bear locker for our friends before regrettably heading home - our weekend trip ending before it started. If you plan to camp here you should either plan to have your tow vehicle never leave, bring a drivable RV, or hey, maybe just not get the rules enforced on you because you were luckier than Alfredo or Roberto.
