We stayed one night and at 3am in the middle of a rain storm our cable locked mtn bikes were stolen out of the back of our truck. Not safe, will not stay there again.
Basically a gravel lot with hookups. A few trees, but not enough to produce much shade. We stayed there 2 nights and it seemed quiet enough. Even though they say they have some pull-thru sites, just about everything is back-in, and the spacing between the rows of vehicles is very tight. I have a 21' trailer and I thought it was rather tight. I don't know how a larger trailer would get in and out at all! Perhaps if I had more experience. I used the showers and they seemed reasonably clean... Read More

I used the showers and they seemed reasonably clean with plentty of hot water. Not much privacy, since it's 2 showers with one common dressing area, but plenty functional. If your primary purpose is visiting around Santa Rosa or the Fairgrounds, this park works fine. The Passport America discount is only on the first night, but even a small discount helps.

Okay, I liked staying here, but there are no facilities, the showers made me feel like I was back in 7th grade gym class (no privacy & not really clean). The gravel sites weren't particularly level, there was no wifi, no cable tv, no over the air TV, but this place is centrally located in Santa Rosa, there are plenty of restaurants, grocery stores, farmers markets and sights to see that are easy to get to. The people running the place are extremely helpful, people staying there tend to be quiet... Read More

Not a destination, as many have written. A large gravel parking lot - but, flat sites, many with full hookups, 30/50 amp available, plenty of room to bring in a large rig and pull through. So far, so good. We needed to stay here for a week and had a couple issues. Bathhouses were cleaned only when I made an issue of it (easy to tell because the super-thin tp tears easily and piles up on the floor, day after day.

Security: 1) reported burned out light bulb over women's room entry door where a code is needed. 6 days later not repaired. 2) Entry code changed during an afternoon we were out. Phone calls to posted number of no use; had to wake up off-city campground host unaware of the change to phone around for the new code. 3) Men's room mirror not a mirror, but a piece of polished metal-scratched beyond visibility. Among the scratches, a swastika. Reported first morning, 7 days later unchanged.

The Good Sam listing says they have WiFi, but they do not. Man who checked us in had an attitude. We will not stay there again.
