We stayed for several days before the Memorial weekend, so we experienced only one day of the…read moreactual busy portion of the holiday weekend. Good things: We thought the bathrooms and showers were very clean. The food at Moes was good as were the drinks. The store was well-stocked with toys, food, and clothing. The pool and jacuzzi were great, and the kids loved them. Kids' activities and games were plentiful, and they also enjoyed the playground. Staff was helpful in the office. Security was present and doing lots of rounds the first two nights (did not see them the busy Friday night). The camp was VERY, impressively, quiet at night. Middling things (mind you, the campground is not in control of these!): the sand is not soft sand like at the coastal beaches. Kids will probably need shoes for the shells and rocks, and it's packed super hard. The campground is under the flight path of John Wayne airport, so expect to know when it's 7 am each day since that's when the planes begin roaring overhead. Not-so-great things: the sites are super close together. Yes, you will be packed in like sardines, especially in the "standard" back row sites, which were completely filled when we visited. It is hard to back in when trucks are parked along the road, in front of the tiny sites- there is VERY little room for error. The sites are ALL DIRT, which I did not think would be so bad until I lived it. (Never again, unless I buy some turf at some point.) When campers dump their waste, expect to get some whiffs. (Many reviews note something about the angle of the dump/hose- we don't have a bathroom in our trailer so I can't attest to that issue.) Finally, the single biggest deal breaker for us was the allowed use of wood burning fire pits at sites. Since everyone is crammed in there, people burning wood on Friday night resulted in the paths and trailers and even the bathrooms being filled with smoke. They should only allow gas burning fire pits! So yeah- if we return it will only ever be mid week and preferably in the off-season.

Unfortunately, my experience at the market was extremely disappointing. I approached an employee…read morewith a simple question regarding holiday weekend events happening at the Dunes and was met with rude, dismissive, and unprofessional behavior. The employee appeared completely untrained, offered no helpful information, and acted inconvenienced by a basic customer inquiry. Customer service and professionalism matter, especially during busy holiday weekends when visitors are looking for guidance and support. I hope management takes customer experience more seriously moving forward and provides better staff training.

The pool , which is huge, is heated and clean, as well as the hot tub. The staff was friendly and the maintenance guy was super cool.

Good location, as there is dining, a movie theater, and soon to be OCVibe at the Honda center within a few blocks away.

But, I can see what people are talking about the way they answer questions. This is a very spacious campground. We had a huge site for our 44' 5th wheel, dually, and a suburban. Bathrooms are old but clean. We didn't use them just looked. The little store is decent. The key card system is dated and you have to finesse it to work. 30 minutes to Disneyland as that's what we were there for. I feel $90 a night is reasonable. No wifi or cable but we have our own onboard. Verizon and T-Mobile was excellent. Will stay again. Hopefully for a week next time.

I organized a long-awaited Girl Scout reunion for 11 of us--5 moms and 6 girls--and we were…read morethrilled to book two 20' bell tents at The Holidays on the San Mateo campground. We paid $490 upfront for one night of glamping, knowing it was steep but worth it for the convenience. With busy schedules across five families, one night was all we could coordinate. When we arrived at the Ranger station, I was told we weren't on the list for Saturday night. Instead, my name was marked as a no-show for the previous night. I showed my reservation confirmation, but the Ranger explained the tents were run by a third party and gave me the owner's number. My calls went to voicemail. Hipcamp's customer service didn't respond. Eventually, Andy--the owner--called back. Turns out, Andy had double-booked our tents and claimed the other guests were already settled in--even though we arrived before check-in. He had no backup accommodations to offer. I was stunned. We had packed cars with food, clothes, firewood, and supplies. This trip had been planned for six months. I had to call two other moms mid-drive and tell them to turn around. We scrambled to find two hotel rooms so the girls could still have a mini reunion, but it was more expensive and nowhere near the experience we'd envisioned. To top it off, Andy asked me, "Haven't you ever made a mistake?" That's not how you handle a business error that disrupts five families' plans. This wasn't a simple mistake--it was a complete failure in communication, accountability, and customer service. Think twice before booking with The Holidays.

You can see some of the most beautiful sunsets from here. However, as a woman walking by myself most of the time, I do not feel safe. Every so often you see questionable individuals who walk the trail or bike the trail. Even today, I saw a homeless man sleeping under the bridge. I really wish the police and public officials are aggressive in keeping the homeless out of this trail. There is a small homeless encampment by the Katella railway bridge. I don't walk that path anymore because I fear my safety. If you are a woman and you're walking alone, carry protective devices with you such as pepper sprays, stun guns, etc. Be alert and Vigilant.
