VIN Vines

For a Sun outdoor and the price per night this one didn't hold up to the name. You were lucky to get hot water in the showers. Our site also has muddy tire tracks through it. Which isn't normal for a Sun outdoor. However the pool area was very nice. The bathrooms were very clean. Overall the park was in great condition.

Very beautiful place, peaceful. Everybody is so kind. Staff included. There is an area for dogs to play and it’s pretty family oriented, kids can play safely outside. Great place.

The company I work for has RV here and I get to stay here while I’m building an Aquatic Complex at the local high school. It’s conveniently located just north of town and the staff work diligently to keep the park clean
I had to add to my original review because I just discovered the library because my wife gave me a box full of books she wanted to donate so I discovered a treasure trove of cool stuff

GUEST BEWARE!
They have COCKROACHES!!
I took this photo about a week ago by the pool, and this morning my husband killed one on the back wall along the freeway. ALSO the bathrooms/showers has no ventilation or air/heat because the HVAC has been broken for nearly a year now. So hold your breath when entering both the men's and women's restrooms here.
UPDATE.. Nothing has changed after one year.

Not worth calling it a "resort".

I am a little taken aback - and I am not the only one - that the pool is locked even at 8 am. Nowhere is it posted when the pool opens or closes. The office doesn't open till 9 am and nobody is available for anything before that.

Update: The pool doesn't open until 10 am. 10 am!!!! What the heck. It is summer, it gets hot. The best time for a swim is early morning. And when I asked about the pool hours the attitude was one of total disinterest.

The bathrooms and laundry room were hot and stuffy.

Easy access to 101 North, but quite the detour to 101 South, or to the gas station on the other side of 101 - you have to go North on 101, exit and get on again to go South to the Gas Station.

It is generally a nice, well maintained and clean lot. Lots of beautiful trees, some sites have great shade and privacy hedges, but on my side of the lot the hedges were so low they didn't offer much privacy, and in the back of the site were a bunch of weirdly arranged bushes that totally limit the back-in depth. Hookups are at the back of the sites making it difficult for campers with connections in the middle.

The lanes are wide and offer plenty of space to back in, even with a large trailer.

They mention a general store as part of their amenities. I went to get some milk, as one would expect to find a small selection of groceries in a general store. A couple of wood shelves, mostly empty except for a couple of toys and knickknacks... A couple bottles of wine, some soda, and ice. That's the general store. If you boast about a general store, you need to have stuff in it for sale. Otherwise, close it and take it off your amenity list.

The office staff is friendly but not very interested or proactive. Doesn't engage in conversation or make you feel valued as a guest. More of an inconvenience or nuisance.

Out of all the Sun Outdoors resorts I have been to, Vines is the most disappointing. Especially for the price. Wouldn't seek it out for an extended stay, but would consider it for a quick stop over night on the way.
