Each of the last two years we have rented a ski boat from this marina for multiple days, and our…read moreexperience has been great. All of the staff were friendly and helpful, the boats were in very good condition, and the check-in/check-out process was reasonably straightforward. We find it best to call to inquire/reserve rather than using the website. The lake itself is great for waterskiing/wakeboarding, as long as there is enough water (minimum lake elevation of 2270' or so, which can be checked at https://www.usbr.gov/mp/cvo/vungvari/daily.pdf).

My fiance and I stayed two nights and wished we had two more. You are steps away from the river and you hear the fish jumping all night. If you are a fisherman, this is the place for you!

My wife floated down in the raft while I joined another group of kayakers following behind. This is a Class II trip, but with the big winter we just had the river is flowing fast and cold (51 degrees right now). Us kayakers wore wet suits and I was glad I did as I was "initiated " in the first rapid. I had trouble getting back in my raft so Libby and Joe helped me out. From there I mastered my technique to be sure I didn't head sideways into a rapid and stayed in my kayak the rest of the trip. It was a fun float on a beautiful river with top guides to match. Thank you Bigfoot Rafting!

He's the first fly fishing guide we've went on a trip with and he couldn't not have been a better guy. If you are new and need a fun relaxing environment with excellent coaching, Darren is your guy. He even packs ingredients for lunch and makes a delicious sandwich on the spot while you catch fish. Photos show the first couple of fish we got. Hard to pull my phone out when we're having lots of action See you next year Darren! Jake and Miga

I should preface this by saying I only bought a hat and hooded sun shirt…read more Anyway, so fishing - it can actually get really hot on the water. And sunny. So if you want to avoid slathering sunscreen on, the best bet is lightweight, light colored clothes that have some kind of built in SPF. Our fishing guide, who deserves his own non-5 star review (unless you count amount of marijuana smoked while supposedly working), recommended this place as I was suffering a bit from heat. From the outside, the shop doesn't look like much, but inside - wow. This small and neat shopped is like a fly fishing paradise. As I'm not a fly fisher and also not really knowledgeable about fishing, it was overwhelming. But cool to look around and see all the crazy things people use. Anyway, they had the sun shirt that I was looking for, and I found a nice hat. So overall, cool spot to visit, and great if you're into fly fishing. Parking is easy and they take credit cards too.

All the other reviews (thus far every one 5 stars) are true and on point. There is no hyperbole and…read morethere is no way I can describe Mountain Meadow adequately. So let me take another tack and make sure that this is the place for you. First off, Mountain Meadow Resort isn't for everyone. If you can't be unplugged and off the grid, this place isn't for you. Seriously, there is no wi-fi, your smartphones are only useful as cameras because there is no cell signal, and the generator that provides electricity only runs from 6:30am to 11pm. Bookings typically go from Saturday to Saturday so if the prospect of not being able to check your texts, voicemail, e-mail and social media for a week gives you the heebee jeebees, then this place is not for you. Second, this place is remote. The resort is most definitely in the WILDerness. In the four years that I've gone I've come across black bears and been within spitting distance of a rattle snake, rattle going off, coiling and ready to strike. The nearest medical facility is 2 hours away by car. And that's not counting the fact that you could be half a dozen miles into a hike away from the resort and your parked car when you get injured. If that seems a bit too off the beaten track for you, then this place is not for you. ...Still reading? Then you must be adequately intrigued as to why people go and keep coming back to this wonderful place. And if the you're not scared off then you will likely fall in love with this place as I have. Read on if you want my attempt to add information you might be hoping to gleam from reading these reviews. This is a family run camp. Decades ago a group of families bought the place and ran it together. Their children now run the resort and while you're there you'll likely see the next generation starting to help out as well. Staff all have a direct connection to the resort via family, being visitors in years past themselves when they were younger, or being recruited by one of the first two categories. What that means is that your initial visit feels like you're an interloper at a family reunion, but on repeated trips you begin to feel that you too are part of the family, because you truly are. That sentiment permeates through and is felt not just by my wife and me but by my kids as well. I would love it if my kids worked here when they're older and if I could spend extended time helping out after I retire, whenever that is. Days can be spent on hikes, strenuous or relaxing. Obviously the former will reward you with amazing views. Unlike, say Yosemite, you could do your whole hike and never come across another group. If you do, it certainly will only be a handful. There are lakes to swim in and vistas to take in. The resort is positioned so that you can make a day hike where others will often have to backpack in and out. Sometimes you'll be tempted to backpack yourself and maybe stay over a night or two but what always draws me back is the food - homemade and delicious. Dinners are amazing. Lastly, the kids love it because of the independence and being outdoors. The "kids dinner" before the "adult one" is as much a highlight for the parents as it is the kids. More importantly my tech savvy kids being raised in the heart of Silicon Valley have no qualms with Mountain Meadow being a "screen free" place. And that alone makes our annual trip worth it.

The guard station is the first cabin on the right on Forest Road 1S26 off CA-Hwy 36. There are a…read morefew cabins down the narrow forest road (maybe 10). Forest Glen and Hell Gate campgrounds are 2-5 minute drive away. In terms of the guard station, it is incredibly quiet and it has the basic household needs (pots, pans, utensils, stove with oven, fridge/freezer, 8 seater dining table, 2 barrel chairs, futon-mattress needs replacing, 2 single beds w/ mattresses, 2 single bed frames-no mattress, bathroom with hot water shower-outside the cabin). With appropriate permit, you can have camp fires using the fire ring in front of the cabin (buy firewood locally). There is a creek right next to the property that goes under the narrow bridge (forest road) that takes you up the mountain. The creek goes down a short path to the South Fork Trinity River which was an ok spot to wade in. Hell Gate have better swimming holes, look out for water snakes! Spotty signal in the area. No A.C., we brought portable fans and that helped.
