    Very disappointing experience. The boat shown on the website was not what we received (rented a 10…read moreseater pontoon) . When we arrived, the motor ran poorly, the seats were ripped, there was mold throughout the boat, wasn't cleaned when we got it there was beer bottle caps, there was no radio, and the speed was governed, which made the experience even more frustrating. For $1,000, this rental was absolutely not worth the price. This was supposed to be a fun birthday celebration, but instead the condition and performance of the boat completely took away from the experience. We noticed nicer boats they owned but when asked how we could get the nicer one they said just depends on what's available so you have a 30% chance of getting a nice boat since there was a like 3 nicer boats. We did rent jet skis which were very fun so I'd rent those again but most definitely never the boat. We left feeling misled and disappointed. Unfortunately, I would not recommend this company based on our experience.

    Very confusing on the website of where they're at they have two locations but trying to book the…read moreright location at the marina or up on the hill is very difficult. It doesn't give you the options when you're booking it online even if you call they say book online if they don't help you so where are the locations at and their times of opening is very confusing. That's all I didn't even use their equipment. Just thought I'd let you know that it is a pain. It's not you.

    Last weekend I went camping for the very first time this year and was able to join my close family…read moreand friends and Definitely had a great experience! We stayed in area CO9 and had a nice view to the lake and was close to the bathrooms/showers (the only bad thing is in area CO9 it has 3 bathrooms only and two showers and the campsite can get very full) It took a downturn when I went on the jet ski for the very first time. Everything was fine we passed the 5 min limit and me and two of my friends were also having a good time on the jet ski and it wasn't till on our way back to our campsite we caught a wave and the weight of the water on the jet ski caught us and flipped us over. Luckily we had our life jackets on and had other people close to the lake on jet skis and boats that were able to try and help us. They called the sheriffs that was keeping a watch on the lake and came over in the boat and was able to help us and even gave us a ride back to our campsite. I wasn't able to catch his name at the end but he had someone with him as well who is new and in training so we were giving him the full experience lol. But they were both really nice and very patient with us and they let us go by just giving us a warning. So thank you to the both of them for saving us. What I learned from my first year of camping; learned how to flip a jet ski in case it flips over, never wear your crocs and if you do keep em on sports mode or you will loose them in the water, and always carry a jet ski license with you or you will get a ticket. Other than that just want to thank the sheriffs that helped us on Saturday August 15. For your kindness and patience we appreciate it! :)

There are burrs, goose poop and spiders everywhere. Tent campers are allowed to reserve FHU RV sites, and many do. There is absolutely NO enforcement of quiet hours. Other campers keep their music loud and the party going all night, every night. They literally never turned it down and were blasting it like they were at the club... 12am, 2am, 4am, 6am... ALL NIGHT. My kids and I couldn't get a good night sleep because of it. This is not a true family campground. It invites all the wrong elements, because they don't enforce the rules. Most of the campsites had WAY more than 6 people per site, which is another campground rule that definitely wasn't enforced. This is not relaxing camping. It's just non-stop loud music and partying. I would NEVER recommend this campground to people I actually like, and will never be returning.

    I was looking for hikes out in Calaveras County and came across recommendations for trails over at…read moreNew Melones. It's one of the largest reservoirs in California and a short drive away from Angels Camp and Sonora. There's an $8 parking fee that's payable at a machine near the entrance (Ranger booth was unstaffed.) There's a few different entrances and recreation areas to the park and on my visit, I went to hike Angels Creek trail at the Glory Hole Recreation area entrance. While parking areas are signed, trails are not. Prepare before you go by researching routes and and getting a screen shot of the park map. I parked at the Buck Brush trailhead and picked up the Angels Creek trail loop from there. There was no trail sign or directional signs along the route but fortunately it was a simple loop trail and a friendly fellow hiker pointed me in the right starting point. Spring is the time of year to go! Lots of lush green hills, poppies and lupines along with cooler weather made this a pleasant, short hike. Nice views of the lake as well. Very few hikers but it was the day after a rainy spell and these trails are popular with mountain bikers, so I imagine they were waiting for things to dry out more. I'd come back and check out some other lakeside trails. None seem long or challenging so this is a more leisurely park. You can make a day trip out of it by heading over to Sonora for lunch.

    If you're a boater, you best be checking this place out. My husband and I don't own a boat... but…read morewe like to get out and explore. There are tons of trails, picnic areas, camping areas, and shore fishing spots with moderately easy access. Multiple entrances to opposing sides of the reservoir with boat launches on both sides provided options to switch it up mid day. (Your parking pass gets you in on both ends) We also seen a plethora of deer lounging in the grasses and under the trees as we drove through. (Be mindful of the wildlife) Whether you're a boater (or renting one) a fisherman, hiker or just want to hang out by the lake- it's worth visiting atleast once!

    My family was in the middle of a five-day stay in Yosemite, and we desperately needed a break from…read morethe over-chlorinated hotel pool, the stuffy room, and the miles and miles and miles of hiking--which, with a five-, six-, and 11-year-old, doesn't exactly scream "happy family vacation." So we rented a boat on Bass Lake, and man, it was awesome. The crew was extremely friendly and accommodating, and the boat itself--a medium pontoon with an inner tube--was great. The shop didn't offer much in the way of actual provisions for the boat ride, unless your idea of lunch is chips, Doritos, donuts, and 75 varieties of soda. Basically, everything you need to give three children a four-hour sugar high in the middle of a lake. I would have loved some sandwiches, fruit, or anything that didn't have a cartoon mascot on the package. The price is where the missing star went. You're looking at around $500 for the boat and inner tube for four hours, and then you have to pay for the gas on top of that. Maybe that's standard practice, but it felt like a lot for four hours. For the whole day? Sure. But four hours? My bank account is still kicking me in the balls. That said, Bass Lake was unbelievably nice to swim in, and diving off the boat in the middle of that gorgeous lake was incredible for the kids. The inner tube was the undisputed highlight. We went zipping around the lake like a bunch of deranged dragonflies, and the kids absolutely crushed it. They never wanted to get off. The smiles on their faces ultimately made the price worth it, and we all wished we could have stayed out there the entire day. Four stars and highly recommended--especially if budget isn't a concern.

    We stopped by around 10:30 a.m. on the Fourth of July, just a couple of hours after opening, ready…read moreto spend several hundred dollars renting jet skis. We were told they were not renting jet skis that day. That immediately didn't make sense. Before arriving, I had checked the website, which showed availability. We didn't argue or make a scene we simply accepted what we were told and booked for the following day. The interaction continued to bother me, so later that evening I called anonymously and asked whether they were renting jet skis that day. This time, I was told yes. So why were we told, face-to-face, that they weren't renting jet skis that day? As a Black customer, it's difficult not to question whether race played a role. I can't know what motivated the employee, but being told "no" in person, then receiving the opposite answer over the phone later that same day, while also seeing non-Black customers renting jet skis, left me feeling singled out. Whether this was poor customer service, dishonesty, or something more, it left a lasting impression. I hope no one else has the same experience.
