Stay Date: March 2006
Our Rating: REALLY UGLY – 3
It’s difficult to complain about a place that only charges $10 a night, and in California yet; but this place was a hoot! Drive into the WWII Army Post and take a trip back in time…..lines of two-story barracks on each side of an old parade ground, miles of tank tracks on rolling hills, and a Famcamp that hasn’t changed since Patton was a Lieutenant. We drove the 2 1/2 miles through the crumbling ruins to find a weed-covered field with power boxes on telephone poles. Then came the search for a spot that both the power and water worked. After three or four attempts in the rain, we finally found a spot in the weeds that had both working, and settled in for a five day stay. Five days of loooong drives to get anywhere made us realize that aside from the wineries (which were VERY expensive), there really wasn’t much to do. The staff in the office will tell you an urban legend that they’re going to build a new campground, but almost five years later nothing’s change. If you have to stay in the area, bite the bullet and stay elsewhere.
