"My most comfortablr RV stop in ukiah. Its quiet, laid back and the people and friendly (of course!) There is a small park with picnic tables. Pay at the donation box near the brick memorial wall. Nice views."
— M Mott
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
"What a great hidden gem. Being a member of the Elks and passing through town I called and inquired if they had a spot I could stay overnight with my RV. They were so nice on the phone and said that they did in fact have an RV type park at their lodge. Well when I showed up I have to say I was surprised. It was so nicely done. There is 30 amp power and water hook up for $25 a night. There is a dump station also for fee, but I did not use. There is a dog park and a children’s park and nicely shaded trees with a beautiful walking area. This was such a surprise to come into for just wanting a place to rest my head overnight. If we didn’t have reservations in Redwood national park, I would actually consider staying a little longer just to relax and enjoy the place. They really did a great job here! And everyone was super nice."

"Unfortunately the lodge was not open on the day we arrived. The RV rest area is quite nice. The restrooms are very basic old style but functional. Great park at the back for events."

"There is nothing more frustrating than missing information. This is a private RV park. They don't say that anywhere. I filled out the registration card and put it in the the envelope along with $150 cash into the drop box. I get all settled in and knock knock on my door is a lady in a wheel chair telling me I can't camp there. Now I'm having to camp out in the Walmart parking lot to wait for the office to open to get my money back. You people need to put a sign stating that this is a private membership only RV park that you can't become a member of unless you believe in God."
