This was the perfect place to stop over on our trip down to Yosemite. Very close the highway, easy to find, and our spot was pretty level. The hosts could not have been nicer! Johnathan and Wes truly cared that we were enjoying our stay and made sure that we had everything we needed to make us comfortable. The majority of the park is full-time residents, however we felt safe and it was very quiet. We would stay here again if passing through the area. Bonus: the laundry room was very clean and the washer/dryer actually worked very well! No extra time needed for our load of towels - which is always an awesome surprise!

We also stopped by the winery and met Leith who gave us a great rundown of the history which was a pleasant little bonus! We will come back next summer for a few more day with friends to enjoy!

5 nights at Old Lewiston Bridge RV Resort

I liked that i was the only tent camper ....well until my last day there. There was a bathroom very close to my tent site and a shower that you don't have to pay for....that's a plus. The signal is bad put they give you a wifi code for the office and club house and they are just a few minutes walk from the tent sites. And the club house seems like a nice idea for people that come with kids, because they have a TV and different types of games in there. I came in beginning of October, so it got a little cold at night, but since I travel with a heater it wasn't bad at all. Oh, and there are deers galore ....so cute. I frequently heard the birds flapping there wings. And some mornings I would hear the rooster 🐓 from a little bit away and that would be my alarm clock ⏰️. Overall, if I would head this way again camping I'd probably revisit.....it was peaceful.

After another nearby campsite was too steep and muddy for my motorcycle, I went to this place that I passed earlier. They closed the office at 6pm, but there was a "Ring" button for after hours. I used Hipcamp to reserve at 7pm, then pressed the Ring. The owner kindly signed me in, he is a fellow motorcycle rider, then led the way to the sites. There is a separate bathroom and shower for the tent sites, fire rings at each tent site, and a small trailer made into a Recreation Room with a couch, kitchenette, refrigerator, and games. On a chilly day, the heater was welcome. There is a deck and outdoor kitchen behind the office. There is wifi available. The site has more growth potential as it is next to a river full of fish. The summer months are popular for fisherman there. I enjoyed the camp and would use in future trips.
