1 night at Magnolia Gardens Park

It was a little confusing as there was no designated Campspot. Just a lot of picnic tables. So we parked near one and set up camp with our RV for the night. We loved how private it was and quiet it was. Now that I understand how it works. I would definitely go back again.

Weekend Trip to Magnolia Gardens Park

It was the perfect camp set up. A hill overlooking the river and nobody crowding your site. The Managers were sincere and friendly. Maria brought fresh coffee at 7 am and hung out with us. Real good people. Loved everything about it! Definitely coming back!

Weekend Trip to Magnolia Gardens Park

So much space and nice sandy beach. Staff all friendly and ready to help you out if needed. Even gave some good recommendations on what spot to best use for camping

2 nights at Bay Area RV Park

Near the bay and would have been perfect I'd the weather would have stayed warm.

3 nights at Bella's Place on The Bayou

Nice, quiet, clean, and secluded camp. Right on the water. Helpful hosts as well. We couldn't ask for more.

Weekend Trip to Rustic creek

Tjona and family went above and beyond making sure we felt welcome, from inviting us in for a home cooked meal, to helping us get our bus unstuck after a few days of rain. Can't wait to visit again to see all the renovations they have coming!

1 night at Magnolia Gardens Park

Nice place along a beautiful the river. Not a lot of other folks here in December so you have your choice of camping spots. Bring bug repellant. Two things to note, the gates are closed from 7pm - 7am. I believe you can make arrangements for later arrival but I would do so well before arriving. Also, there are a few off leash dogs that seem to be full-timers. They keep to themselves for the most part but consider this if you have your own pets with you.
