This is a true RV resort. Many RV parks used that descriptor, but few really qualify. The sites are large (up to 80' long, 24' wide pads), paved, with patios and grassy areas between. Your aren't right on top of your neighbor. Some back in sites, many long pul-throughs. There are multiple pools and hot tub throughout the resort. Pickleball courts. Two off-leash dog parks (the nice lady that checked us in said, "Sorry, we don't have a cat park."
I can't speak for other cats, but Murphy doesn't really want to play with other cats, except his cousin Tango. But, I digress.
Very nice restroom and showers (private). An over 21 section that has its own pool and hot tub. A putting green. Playground equipment and basketball courts on the family side. No fires allowed (Yay!). Cable TV at some sites, but good over the air TV on antenna. Wifi.
It reminds me a bit of Hart Ranch, except it isn't a membership park. Similar amenities and large sites, though.
Some photos...
They did ask what year our RV is when I called to reserve a site (2024). Many RV parks have a "no RVs more than 10 years old" rule. Most will make exceptions if you submit a current photo - there are many motorcoaches older than 10 years that look nicer than a lot of brand new RVs.
While walking around, we saw one other Class B here. A few B+ (or very small Class C), but mostly larger 5th wheels and Class A motorhomes. No minimum size here (some "resorts" have a minimum length of 25 or even 30'). We have plenty of room on the site we're on. ;-)
After being in "rustic sites" in the National Park, we really appreciate no dirt, no pine needles, level sites, and no bears. Not being snooty - many people like the "great outdoors" feel of State and National Parks - we're not particularly into "camping." Our RoadTrek can handle rustic or fancy - good to have options.
"This comes at a price, right?" Sure - nicer grounds, bigger sites, paved pads, more amenities, and privately owned vs government. You would expect to pay more for all that. Here's some perspective though: a site in this upscale RV resort is less expensive than a night in Colter Bay RV Park (that we just left). Options... would you rather stay in a 5 star hotel or a rustic cabin? Fortunately, with an RV, you bring some of the amenities with you. :-)

Hi Jim,
I enjoy reading your posts Fun and informative.
Have a question for you. Maybe you can answer it once you get a few trips in the roadtrek under your belt.
My wife and I plan to retire early 2027 and have been searching for rv’s. We think we want smaller for the maneuverability and to fit into some parks. Been eyeing the tiffin rw. Or even the new xrw. But watching you with the roadtrek is giving me pause.
I like the availability of being able to go off grid a night or two.
There is only the two of us. No pets yet. What is your take on your aspect bs your roadtrek?
Your valued opinion is greatly appreciated. Safe travels
Bob and Nancy/cbrats
