It was/is apparent with the rest of the crew as well.....just a really friendly, helpful bunch. We arrived in time for the free Fri. evening chili-dog pic-nic. Met a number of the work campers, other guests and just a great time and... More

Very helpful & friendly staff who helped two novice RV campers! Clean, quiet facility with everything you need to stay there, including missing parts to hook up to RV facilities. A nice place to base your stay to the Gold Country.

They have planed activities... More

My husband and I enjoyed our short stay so much - very nice location, wonderful people. The historic buildings on site and the amenities were great. We decided we should have stayed longer and may do that next time, which will be soon. Terrific area.

Our visit began with a very receptive check in, followed by 3 staff members assisting us with positioning of our rig. Very efficient and helpful staff helped us park with one smooth evolution in a very difficult, but awesome site in the trees overlooking the main camp area and camp fire. Gratis dinner on Fridays at the campfire was a... More

Fun place to go with lots of things to see and do in the area. Campground folks were very helpful and friendly. Plan on returning in June and hope the weather will be as wonderful as it was on the last visit.

The best I can say about 49r Ranch is that it is located in a beautiful setting. However I found the park to feel small and congested. What the ultimate disappointment was is the fact that our first time camper coupon of $20 was not honored and we had reserved 2 sites! When we checked in the night before we... More
