Anyone Ramona Canyon Resort

[gekko65]

Hi gang,

I'm looking to make reservations for the summer and thought I would try out these two RPI listed campgrounds in California. I would very much like any information on these campgrounds besides the limited information I have got off the campground websites. No real pics of the campsite on the websites!!!

I have kids 7 & 11 years old that like to swim, adventure, play pool, air hockey and ride bikes etc... So any information on kids activities along with how the camping spaces are (i.e. shady, close together etc..)

Heres the campgrounds:
Rancho OSO Resort in Santa Barbara
Ramona Canyon RV Resort in Ramona

Thanks for your help in advance!!!

Hi, Are you  talking about Ramona in San Diego county? If you are we stayed there 3 years ago. We were invited for a free weekend if we listened to the selling shpeel.  Since we were just tent campers at that time we were given the spots up against the road. All night I kept thinking a semi would drive off the road right into our tent.  My sister's pop-up was the only one in the park. We got the impression this park was for big rigs and the older crowed. They did have a small pond/lake for fishing. Last August while driving back from William Heise Park the pond/lake looked pretty dry. We have had alot of rain so I think it may be full again.  They do have a pool and a club house with adult only hours. Who knows it may be better now but none of the kids had a great time even with the pool.

Hope this helps
EH

Wow, :eyecrazy:

Are all the sites near the Road? Thats a scary thought about the cars at night... Does the park have alot of noise?

I was looking at the campground website and it said they have mini-golf and lots of stuff for the kids to do.... I guess they are stretching the truth just a little.

Thanks for the input, I look forward to any more feedback on this campground in San Diego county...

Thx Matt in San Diego

When we brought our camper the salesman gave us several free camping certificates, Ramona Canyon was included.  I was all set to give this place a try for several free days of camping.  I just happen to mention this to a friend at my work, who has a couple memberships to campgrounds.
 
Just as I began talking about the campground she pulled out a two page letter she was preparing to drop in the mail box.  This letter described the awful experience that her and her family had.  They ended up leaving soon after arrival and went down the road to a different campground within the camping club.  She cautioned me about the place.
 
Ofcourse thats just one example, you may go have a great time. We decided to skip the place.
