Loomis Rv Park

42′ 5^th wheel…2 adults…2 children. We stayed for 2.5 months. I am a traveling healthcare provider and stay in many parks. We really liked this park. The gravel sites are rather large and there are many with shade. Manager Tami was easy to work with. We did not have any problems with other tenants. We stayed in the «front» part of the park closest to the road and RR tracks. The trains are loud (everywhere) & road noise is present on the first row (this did not bother us at all). The park does need some updating. There is a park for the kids… swing set, table & slide/​fort structure (in need of updating). I only used the bathhouse once while with kids at the park. It was clean, but old. The pool area could also use updating. Despite this we enjoyed our stay and would def stay again. Other things to know: Trees block your satellite from many sites, park wifi is terrible (they freely admit this). Stores and restaurants are close by. There is also an additional storage lot for an additional fee (on site). We were able to park both cars & motorcycles on our site. We highly recommend the 20ish minute drive to Auburn State Recreation area.

First impressions! Pro: easy to find, neatly laid out, has shade, clean but stained showers, clean laundry room.
Con: NOISY. Trains, something beeping frequently nearby, street sweepers, road traffic. 9 to 5 hours — seriously? In the hospitality business? After hours check in — dark, not overly welcoming; codes needed for showers not provided (there’s a way you can do this so a paid guest doesn’t have to beg for help), laundry closes at 8 p.m.
Here is an ugly detail lineup, despite it being after 8 when I arrived, I started laundry because we’re in the middle of a big trek and don’t want to hang around for banker’s hours to start that chore. I planned to shower while the laundry ran, but was unable to because — no code. I won’t rat out how I got it so I could remove a day’s travel travails from my skin and hair. What I found odd is that the «emergency» number provided on a sign rang audibly in the office next to the laundry. I heard myself leaving a message asking for a call back with the shower code! That request received no response.
I sat inside and outside the laundry room past the drop dead lock up time of 9 p.m., but then used my nefariously but lawfully entitled shower code with great relief for about 20 minutes. When I came back to claim my laundry, which would have been dry or two or three minutes out, management had managed to stir its butt to lock my laundry in! Perhaps I’m overly suspicious, but it felt like a purposefully snotty action.
I’ll update with a daylight view of the premises and surrounds in the morning. At this point, I doubt that I would ever set foot here again because of a general lack of hospitality. If these folks don’t want pass-​through trade (many of the occupants live here), they shouldn’t hold themselves out as offering it.

We were in the area unexpectedly because while we were camping in the Sierras we heard about the death and subsequent memorial service for an old friend. It was the 4^th of July holiday weekend so everyone was booked solid. Tami (I think the manager) actually contacted me after saying that they were sorry for being full, because she realized that someone had left early — and that we’d be able to have a place to stay for the night. Whew!
Because of the circumstances of the morning, we didn’t arrive at the park until 1:30 in the afternoon — and we had a 2 o’clock service. When the gentleman in charge for the weekend, Al, heard about this, he quickly showed me where our spot was and told me not to worry about all the formalities until we got back in the afternoon or the following morning, and we could settle up at that time.
Because of his generous, trusting, and understanding attitude, we were able to unhitch, get the electric plugged in for the fridge, and then make it to the service with about 4 minutes to spare.
I dare say that this type of service isn’t that common anymore.
As previously stated in another review, this isn’t necessarily the type of place you’d call a destination resort. But if you aren’t needing high class amenities — and you want a «home base» relatively close to both the state capitol and the historic gold country, this may work for you. We never had any issues with the 50 amp service… and that weekend was blazing hot.
Most of all, you can’t beat the hospitality.

This park is not packed with the amenities that are the standard fare of the current crop of super RV parks. It’s also not a glorified concrete parking lot with manicured patches of lawn and neatly trimmed trees. It’s quaint and simple; one part rustic and two parts mom and pop. It’s a bit of a throwback to another era. Many of the RV’s parked here are clearly long term residents. If you’re looking for lots of activities, this is not the place for you. If you’re looking for a nice, quiet home base as you explore the region it may be just what you’re looking for. My wife and I loved it.
