Tradewinds RV Park of Vallejo

AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL Customer Service. We called and made reservations over the phone 2 weeks ago and we’re informed that our dogs were allowed. Once arriving we were told that our dog was too heavy at 60lbs to stay here. They lady at the front desk pretty much called us liars when we told her that we informed the clerk on the phone of what our dogs were and what their weight was. We even called last night to confirm and we’re told that Lot 11 was ours. When we arrive, LOT 11 is for a 30 foot instead of 32 foot camper so it wouldn’t have worked anyway. Absolutely ridiculous and we drove 3300 miles to get here!!! ZERO STARS!!!

Stayed here several days while my husband commuted to a job. This place is sad. It feels unsafe all around in the neighboring areas. Took a walk to where he had to get the bus and a young man and woman were living in the bushes. They were armed with a baseball bat. At the actual RV park, about half the RVs were long term residents. Their rigs in disarray. The park asks that all pets including cats are leashed and picked up after. But several cats roam free and pooping in the gravel and mulch including beneath the sad playground. Bathrooms are dirty with not much hot water in the moldy showers. It’s a sad deteriorating place.

Just returned from staying here two nights.
PROS: Nice spaces, lots of trees and picnic benches, well-​maintained bathroom shower facilities, nice indoor common space with TV, coffee maker, and lots of books.
Good location, near to the highway and within walking distance of a gas station, food mart, Starbucks, and — best of all — Tommy’s Tacos & More. (Tommy’s Mexican food single-​handedly *made* my last trip delightful!)
Near to Six Flags Discovery Kingdom, and within a few minutes bike or drive to all sorts of stores and malls, from a Dollar Tree to Target, I like Tradewinds.
CONS: Short office hours, no swimming pool or hot tub, too few grills and fire rings, and no real physical security, so the local underclass can easily stroll through the RV park and have occasionally, recently, broken into RVs. A security guard would do wonders for the place.
Would I stay at Tradewinds RV Park of Vallejo again? Yes, absolutely!

The only reason I did not give this park 5 stars is because the sites are a little close together. We have visited many parks in both Canada and the USA and this park is definitely one of the better ones and the current monthly rate is very reasonable. The park and bathrooms are clean everything worked fine and it has great access to the Napa Valley and is just a short $ 10.00 cab ride away from the Ferry to San Francisco. The surrounding area is best traveled by car and walking outside the park after dark is probably not a good idea as was confirmed by the staff also. I dealt with 4 of the staff members on a daily basis and they were always very service oriented, friendly and polite and always ready to welcome me with a smile. I also met the owner who I had a nice conversation with and he suggested an alternative (scenic) route to the Napa valley. I had problems with my audio on my laptop computer at the beginning of our 1 month stay and I walked into the office asking the person on duty if he knew of a IT person I could take my computer to as this is our lifeline with our children via Skype and I also use it daily for my work. He said to bring it in and offered to have a look for me and sure enough after doing a bit of research for me on the internet he knew how to fix it and he did. It turned out he was the owners son and he certainly has been taught how to provide great service by going above and beyond the call of duty. Good job to all staff members and if we ever decide to visit the Bay area again we will return. We visited here from October 9 to November 8 in our 37 foot motor home with our cat.

Always stay here when I have business in the area. (Usually for a month or more) I’m a full timer traveling in a 42′ motor coach. They have full hookups including cable TV for $ 600.00 a month plus electric. Bathrooms and showers are well maintained, and so is the coin laundry. Location is not the prettiest, but freeway access is good. Watch out for the ants! (put stuff out to prevent them from crawling up into your RV) Keep bikes locked up too…
The staff is attentive and the gardener, Mr. Lau keeps the garden in full bloom all year…

Sara obviously doesn’t know the difference between an RV park and a trailer park. Tradewinds is an RV park. It doesn’t want small trailers — 20′ — for months at a time. Her language says it all. We are currently staying at Tradewinds for the Labor Day Weekend and it is centrally located, neat and clean. We have stayed in RV parks in all the Lower 48 and Alaska and Tradewinds has everything except a heated pool. For true RVers, this is a great location.

I haven’t encountered anyone SO determined to not help me in ages.
They cop an attitude if you are just calling for their monthly rates for rv-​parking and hookup, and goddess help you if you don’t have the rv yet.
I volunteered to call these guys up because a friend has been unable to get a call-​back from them for a week (maybe because you can tell from his accent he ain’t white? I dunno.)
My friend’s been leaving messages with these folks for days, and we drove by the place on Sunday and saw a buttload of empty spots available. No one was in the rental office. I think they ran when they saw us, truth be told. So I call, and immediately get a live person. I’m thinking that was because my name shows up on caller ID and my name is pretty darn white or euroweenie-​sounding.
You know how you say something and immediately know that the person you’re talking to has written you off entirely and is DONE with the conversation? I told her we were looking for a spot for a 20 footer, which we didn’t have yet, and she jumped down my throat telling me to call back when we had it, and that there was a two-​week waiting period, and an application, and that all folks planning to reside in the trailer would have to fill out applications.
Now, if someone bit your head off with all that, would you scratch your ear and wonder if they were assuming you were planning to relocate a small village from south of the border, and that all these requirements (PERFECTLY expected with a rental property, sure) delivered in a snarky and huffy manner were an attempt at discouraging you from pursuing business?
Last time I checked, my friend’s money is pretty f*cking green, just like everyone else’s. But I wasn’t going to go there with this rental agent or whatever the bleep she was, she wasn’t worth it and I didn’t really feel like getting any more lip from her.
No, I forced her to slow down and give me the details, and it was like milking mice getting the monthly rate for hookup and space rental.
Thanks, Tradewinds. You guys wrote yourselves off as racist and unprofessional.
