We stayed in the accessible cabin which had central heating, a nice size restroom and a comfy bed (I'm also pregnant). The grocery store and restaurants are a 10 minute drive away into town so we picked up some small items and made breakfast during out stay which was nice. They gave us a dog bowl, treats and small blanket for when we arrived and their complimentary warm apple cider, coffee and granola/milk were great. I also took advantage of the yoga in the morning which was a perfect way to start the day because we left to Yosemite National Park which was approximately an hour drive. The staff was helpful and the food was fine. I left my flat iron (not sure why I even brought it) in the cabin and they found it an mailed it back to me for a small delivery fee. We would definitely stay here again, the color of the leaves during late November were magical. :)

Not worth the money

Published Date: Sep, 9, 2024 Travel Date: Sep, 1, 2024 Rating: 2 Not worth the cost! We stayed here a couple of years ago in May and the experience was great. The property (aside from clubhouse) is not maintained well and there was a ton a garbage laying around and under our airstream (chicken bones, broken toys, glass, beer bottle tops) and grease or oil under the picnic table. The lake was dried up (granted it’s September but it looked bad). At night everything felt better but during the day was pretty ick. They don’t have any sandwiches or things that can be easily packed for hiking at the cafe/store- menu is pizza, Mac and cheese, salads etc and we were told to try town for that stuff which felt inconvenient. We were there for 2 nights and the bill was over 1K - definitely would stay in the park next time.
Do NOT stay here

Published Date: Sep, 1, 2024 Travel Date: Aug, 1, 2024 Rating: 1 Absolute TRASH. My boyfriend and I stayed here for 4 nights and it was the worst camping/hotel experience I’ve ever had.
1. When we first arrived, we asked the bartender if there was a fountain where we could fill up our water bottles or purchase a case of water since we were staying in one of their “luxury tents”. He looked at us with distain and said this is a “higher class or boutiquey type of place” and directed us to the nearest riteaid to purchase.
2. We were told that the communal bathrooms and showers were cleaned daily. However, every single night there were clumps of hair on the ground and the showers REEKED of mold. 2 out of the 4 nights that I took a shower the body wash and towels were completely out. On top of that, the showers do not lock, so there were multiple occasions where little kids would randomly open the door when I was showering.
3. The wifi is TERRIBLE. It turns off every two minutes. There is no phone service on the camp grounds so having wifi was crucial.
4. There was a portable toilet located near our tent which we relied on since our tent was located far away from the club house. However, the door to the bathroom would accidentally stay locked if someone closed it too hard. One night, I had to use the bathroom in the middle of the night and the bathroom door was locked. I knocked and no one was in there. I ended up peeing outside our tent since I had to go so bad. This was UNACCEPTABLE. I went to check the next day and the bathroom door was STILL fixed shut.
5. We stayed here during Labor Day weekend so our tent would reach high 90’s during the day. Our portable AC unit stopped blowing cold air so it was just a sauna until 8pm.
If the prices don’t turn you off from this place I beg that this review does. My review is overlooking how the airstreams and tents are packed on top of each other or how ever overpriced everything is ($18 for a 2 pack of smores kit). However the hospitality, cleanliness, and overall accessibility of this place is UNACCEPTABLE.

Good concept but falls short. Can't justify the price.

Our tent was very cozy and comfy, and the clubhouse was pretty, especially in the evening with all the lights, but that's about it for the good.
Most of the tents and airstreams are VERY close together so it's noisy with little privacy. We lucked out and got a tent that was a bit separated from the rest, but that seemed rare, so call to book and request a tent or airstream that has some privacy if possible.
They do not let you drive to your campsite, and some of them are far away and uphill from the front desk, so be prepared to lug all of your stuff in. On a hot day, with lots of bags, that is NOT enjoyable. It would be great if they had staff to assist with bags. They have golf carts onsite for Maintenace. Maybe they should use those to help guests transport their things.
The coffee available in the clubhouse is just basic drip coffee and it was AWFUL, so bring your own coffeemaker if you are a coffee lover.
The cocktails at happy hour are pre-mixed and not good.
The pillows provided are small, hard and lumpy, so bring your own pillow.
They make it sounds like your tent is fully stocked with kitchen necessities, but really all you get is a cast iron skillet, a spatula, and a couple paper plates and plastic forks, so if you plan on cooking at your tent, bring pots and supplies. Foil is ten bux at the clubhouse so definitely bring that.
The main bathrooms are nice, but kind of run down and dirty towels were overflowing out of the bin every time I went in, so janitorial services could be better.
All in all, we had a nice time, but I cannot justify the prices.

The closest to a camp but with all hotel facilities

Published Date: Aug, 18, 2024 Travel Date: Aug, 1, 2024 Rating: 5 The ready to stay camping concept is great. Everything is prepared for the stay in comfort. We used the tent option as the airstreams were all booked. The sleeping was great. It had an electric blanket for cool nights. There was even an ac unit plus a separate electric radiator.
As far as the facilities there is a public shower/restroom with fresh towels, all needed cosmetics and hairdriers. We did not experience any queues to the shower as it is mainly used by the tent users. Airstreams are equiped with showers. Most of the tents are located within 2-3 minutes walk from the main building.
The main building also offers a small convenience store, a bar with some choice of warm food. We loved the pool.
Above all the service was great as well.
