Wonderful people and wonderful place to stay short term or long term.
We stayed 6 months and loved how kind and caring and trustworthy the staff are.
Enjoyed the hot tub which they kept clean and at temperature.
Always beautifully landscaped.
Will be telling our friends that this is a great place to stay.

I appreciate this park very much; it's lovely, reliable, and affordable. I do furnish my own internet, but the laundry and bathroom facilities are wonderful. The staff are kind and they have daily landscaping/maintenance. My neighbors are wonderful, as well. They have helped me to feel at home. Thank you.

After a harrowing night practically on a cliff, the flat, near level, paved spot here was a very welcome sight!! The area was quiet and had charming areas with beautiful flowering plants. Exceptionally clean and well kept!

Conveniently located off Hwy 101. The park was very clean and spacious sites. Bathroom and shower areas were clean. Plenty of great amenities and even a pool. The store was fully stocked with lots of options. Will definitely be back in the future.
Staff were wonderful and check in easy.
