French Camp RV Park

They do not bother to follow up on online site requests. I sent one in and they ignored it and I went some where else.

I have been taking a group of 10 plus campers to French Camp for President’s Week-​End for probably 20 years. Steve Guaraglia, the Manager that took over last year has done a tremendous job in cleaning up the place. The hot tub and pool were clean and ready to use. You could tell he and his crew had taken time to get the golf course in shape, certainly better then years past. The club house and bathrooms clean. I can’t imagin how nice it will be next February! Maybe even WiFi in the park! Keep up the good work Steve, look forward to seeing you again. Thank you for a great few days!

Arrived at the Ripon kite festival with our trailer only to be told they could not allow overnight rv parking as their web site had said, because they needed some kind of permit they didn’t have.
Searched for nearby rv places and either no one answered or they wanted over 60 a night and 3 night minimum (cough KOA cough). It was now 7:30pm. Didn’t look forward to spending a night at the truck stop. Saw this place had a playground (essential for anyone with small children) and full hookups so i gave them a call again and managed to get the front desk this time.
Labor Day weekend and they still had space available, and not a bad price at 44 a night for full hookups. Lady on phone told us we were coming in after closing, but a guard would let us in and we could pay in the morning .
Arrived, guard let us in and told us to pick any empty spot, picked one right across the street from the playground. Lots of other kids playing, so ours had a good time. Didn’t have swimsuits but wished we did because it was hot and pool looked good.
Nice level spot, power, water, sewer all trouble free, didn’t try cable cause we have DVDs, so who cares. Didnt try wifi because have cell data and website says wifi at front desk area only.
Place is clean, quiet, staff was friendly, took care of bill in morning and on our way, no complaints, will probably stay here again next time we go to ripon festival, or just need a minor getaway not too close but not too far from home.
Don’t play golf but the course looked nice and plenty of people seemed to be playing it.

Stayed here for about 9 weeks. The wifi is only available if you sit in the front office & even then its incredibly slow and will drop for no reason. The laundry price is sky high, you are much better off finding a laundromat in town. The gym is a complete joke, which you have to pay to use, even though most of the machines are broken. The spaces are small, some of them have reserved parking spots in other places because they can’t fit vehicles. However, the park is located in a nice, quiet area and is right next to the highway so you can travel easily to yosemite, san francisco, sacramento, etc. The pool is decently sized and well kept. The front office sells some boxed foods, chips, beer, & household things. The most positive thing about this park is actually the on site restaurant. It is a separate entity but is located inside the park. The food is great & so are the prices. They also have a great staff, which is more than I can say about the actual park staff. I do not play golf, so I cannot comment on the course, but overall I do not see why this park is priced as high as it is.

I have no real complaints as this is our 5^th time staying here. Not real thrilled about the permeant rv’s but times are tough. They need to be a bit more respectful to the guests. We ate at the café and service was good and so was our food. Don’t play golf so can’t say much about the course. The clubhouse that we used was clean but no holiday decorations or a tree? The chairs are all broken so be careful. I hear they are without a manager, if so they need to get one soon?

In the spot we stayed at (weekly spot) some of the sprinkler heads were broken off and created a big mess. We tried to call the office a couple of times about them and never could get anyone to answer the phone. Also we have kids traveling with us and the playground was closed. And there were a ton of flies! Did not use any of the facilities while staying here.

Stayed here overnight with my family when my son was playing in a weekend long baseball tournament at the nearby Manteca Big League Dreams. It suited our purpose for the evening. Easy parking and exit. Level pads. Nice, clean grass area with picnic table. Didn’t spend much time at the rv park or use any of the facilities, but I will say that the cable TV wasn’t working. Didn’t feel in danger or threatened by any other campers. No one messed with our trailer when we were gone. The front desk allowed for a late checkout (5:30) as our last game was in the afternoon. It’s a 10 minute drive to Manteca for services and groceries.

For starters… too many permanent residents. Most have no regard for those passing through. Several in the process of being evicted with several visits from police. Lot of junk outside their junk rv’s. Management is unconscious. Not concerned at any level. Pool, spa, and pavilion open to the public so good luck using those amenities. Pool usually filled with the local migrant workers many children. Website is basically wrong for everything listed. Management doesn’t answer the phone EVER!!!
Restaurant has good food and staff. Golf course is definitely worth the price. Spots are pretty decent as well. Little bit of effort could make a big difference. Most laundry machines are broke too.

I have heard about this RV park for quite awhile. I was… disappointed. The sites themselves were fine, level, green grass etc. But, the cable TV didn’t work. The pool area was in need of some heavy duty TLC, the furniture was in total disrepair and the laundry facilities were clean but the washers and dryers were for the small capacity loads. I was expecting more. The best feature was the «sports bar» at the entrance of the park. They have a big selection of drinks-​complete bar-​and many big screen TV’s! I’d go back in transit to… somewhere but I sure wouldn’t expect to spend an afternoon by the pool…
