We've lived near here for years and this was somehow our first visit. Won't make that mistake…read moreagain. Walked in from Willow campground, settled in, and immediately felt that "why haven't we done this before" feeling. After dinner we hiked through Cottonwood campground and found a trail out the backside with a panoramic view that made the whole trip. The sunsets here are next level. Saturday's weather was perfect; we fished, caught and released a few nice ones, and just relaxed. The day-use and launch area was recently repaved and is in great shape. Now, the honest stuff: Friday was extremely windy (upside...zero mosquitos). The mosquitos showed up Saturday night, which is just nature doing its thing. The bigger nuisances were neighbor-related: a big group of kids with flashlights running around until 3am Night 1, and someone blasting bass while cruising the campground multiple times Night 2. Not the campground's fault, just worth knowing if you're a light sleeper or in a tent. Bathrooms: one was consistently clean, one was hit or miss. Toilet paper ran out and the exterior water spigot wasn't functional. Landscaping could use attention. Camp hosts were around but hands-off, no complaints, just not super visible. Bottom line: beautiful location, great fishing, gorgeous views and sunsets. The infrastructure needs a little TLC but nothing that would stop us from coming back. We'll be back for sure.

Only reason I don't give 5 stars is fishing from the bank is not the best. There is only one pier…read moreto fish off of and the water is full of vegetation that will snag you up.

You get the idea--there's not a whole lot to see here. Just one monument. Yes, that's it. It's a cute story, and that's good, but after reading the plaque, you can go home. It's right next to the City Hall and an access point for fisherman. So it's a pleasant point, but I wouldn't make the trip you're just to see one monument. If you walk to the left of City Hall, they have public restrooms there. As others have mentioned, there are not especially clean. On the other hand, there are pleasant views from this point.

I was originally looking for information about the museum and arrived at this page: https://www.mihpf.org/tours. I hope this will help you find their tour options and dates! All digitalized, no fuss. And it turns out I was the only who signed up for today's tour, and they did not cancel on me because of that. I really really appreciated it. One last thing, the money you spend on the tour goes into helping this foundation : ) Yay!

What was once a worthwhile club appears to be in clear decline. From my direct experience, the…read morewarning signs are hard to ignore: management turnover, frustrated employees, and ownership that no longer seems willing to invest in the club's future. Prospective buyers should look closely before committing. The fleet is now made up of aging boats, roughly 4-6 years old, and the wear is evident. Inventory has reportedly been reduced from 9 boats to 5, including only 2 surf boats, while pricing remains unchanged. At the same time, members are being asked to move to an "unlimited bookings" model that still limits usage to no more than 3 bookings per month!!! Last season alone, boats experienced issues ranging from failed ballast pumps and broken amps to damaged railings and inconsistent availability. Yet despite reduced inventory, aging equipment, and declining service levels, ownership appears intent on maintaining the same pricing without meaningful reinvestment. Anyone considering joining should do their homework, verify the facts independently, and speak with former members. Membership has reportedly fallen from 42 to 17 and continues to trend downward. That kind of decline does not happen without reason.

Instructions were provided concisely in an easy to understand format for new drivers. We rented a Chaparral for 4 hours on Labor Day and it couldn't have gone smoother. The boat was in excellent condition and everyone had a great time. Gas came out to about $57, keeping in mind we had 5 adults, lots of food, and towed a tube during our rental period. Definitely recommend Berryessa Water Sports and will see them again soon!
