Ponderosa RV Resort en los Estados Unidos

Sarah & Stormy!!! These Ladies were Amazing! Thank You! We had true American River/Gold Country experience. We stayed in cabin #1. The previous reviews are not close to accurate. When one camps, it is a laid-back atmosphere the staff always had a smile on their face and a willingness to help more. We stayed for a week and it was so much fun! We found little waterfalls, Trails, blackberries, calm water, rapid water, & super cool people. The state park was nearby. It was a really cool experience. The visitors center there is mindblowingly cooool!! I feel like it is a Hidden Gem the gift shop nearby was probably one of the coolest gift shops I ever saw also and very affordable I love the blacksmith whom you learn about a railroad ring its cute!!! The rings cost a dollar in the gift shop. I would say beware of the $10 per kid gold panning. This Ponderosa TT park offers free gold pans to check out (state park gift shop nearby has free life jacket borrowing, 6$ gold pans, 1$glass vials).. a lot of people bring something to float on and tie it off, a lot of other people enjoy the White Water rafting. The water is higher in the afternoon. My biggest con was the cabin was not wired with the proper wattage. If you want to use the microwave you are not allowed to use the air conditioner which is difficult preparing dinner for five little boys while it's 103 outside. They should really take a look at that!! I have not had this issue at other Thousand Trails cabins. I saved the best for last the two employees name Stormy and Sarah, the staff were Beyond accommodating friendly and just generally really great humans!! They made us feel like we were their favorite. We cannot wait to come back again we left this campsite feeling like we made some new best friends, great family memories, and a breath of fresh air away from all the noise of the city.

This was our first visit to Ponderosa. We are Thousand Trails members and didn't pay a nightly fee. Camped in section D in mid February with two other couples. Campsites were nice and roomy but only had water and electric. No bathroom in our section which also had a tent area. Seems a bit inconvenient especially for tent campers. Spent a lot of time exploring the area and visiting a few breweries. Planning to come back in warmer weather and try the river for some rafting. No AT&T service in the park or surrounding area.

I guess we prefer dry camping in campgrounds because this whole crammed together with the view of another RV out our front window wasn't our cup of tea. But the beach on the American River was fun for the kiddos and the free hot showers were certainly welcomed. Staff are friendly, water and electric hookups worked. No sewer hookups for the majority of their sites. It's hot, so black tank smell is all over the place. The clubhouse has free internet and no one is in there, so a decent place to work. Also the cafe (Sierra Rizing) across the street has great baked goods and free WiFi.

Used my TT membership to stay here 21 days. Most memorable is the amount of dust kicked up daily. First I was up on the hill near the highway. Was an OK site I guess but marginal satellite signal due to trees. CG does have a handful of FHU site but good luck snagging one of them as they are small and seems taken by seasonal/annuals. Honey wagon is $25. The river spots here are pretty much where you want to be. I was there during June and the snow melt was still pretty high so the river and rapids were good. Later in my stay the dam up river clearly limited the flow and the river probably went down by 4 feet. Up on the hill was able to snag a signal on ATT (barely) with a MIMO antenna. Down by the river was much more difficult for cell internet but I was able to Again even by the river satellite was difficult based on trees. Checkin was uneventful although they could not help and say if they had any FHU sites, river sites or somewhere good for satellite - so driving around I was able to determine myself. After 7 days without sewer I decided to move to a river spot (on a Monday after a couple spots opened up) and in the process visited the dump station. A note about the dump station. It is on a hill leaning down. So, to really empty your tanks you need to use your levelers. To get level my front tires were off the ground a few inches. Nearby is the state park where gold was first found. A nice day. The pizza place across the street was also nice and convenient as was the bakery/coffee shop (albeit that closes early at like 430). Shopping for food is a good 30+ minutes away. Expect curvy very thin mountain roads and crazy California resident to want to go faster than the speed limit.

This used to be one of the best camping areas in the Coloma valley. They have since went to a membership only resort. This resort is first come first serve and the sites are no longer well maintained. You will have to deal will live in residents. Many of these residents live here year round. They move from spot to spot to gain a better spot to live. This is not the resort it used to be.... It is a shame and very run down. Access is not easy. Hope this helps... good luck and hopefully they improve this resort.
