Santa Cruze RV Ranch--Scott's Valley Ca.

Well, I hardly ever make the effort to let people know of REALLY POOR PARKS. But this one begs the exception of my rule "not to bother"

In 35 years of RV'ing this is one of the 3 worst parks we have ever had the misforton of staying in.
1. Illegal and non-working sewer hook ups
2. Sewer smell 24/7
3. Kids (and some adults) waling through site; 24/7
4. Rusty elect. hook ups, falling over in some cases, poor contacts
5. VERY narrow sites, no room for 4 slide unit.
6. Dirt every where, NO landscaping at all, no gravel, just dirt
7. 10:00 PM quite time NEVER enforced. Drunk & Noisy is the rule,
GOOD Things
1. Pool nice & Clean, as were the restrooms
2. Staff tried to be helpfull, but were untrained and un-motivated
3 Location 10 minutes to the beach/boardwalk

AVOID AT ALL COSTS

    What makes a sewer hookup illegal?
  • In most states and counties their is a requirement for a "positive fitting connection between the hose and the sewer pipe". This is usually accomplished by have a threaded female connector on the sewer pipe that you can screw you sewer hose adapter into. Sometimes thier is just a tight friction connection that will also meet the standards. What IS NOT legal is to just have the elbow hanging down into the sewer pipe, which can easily jump out when you open the dump valve.

  • This is exactly why we are NOT renewing our RPI annual membership. Most of the resorts are in state of disrepair and neglected.
  • We checked out the S.C. REDWOOD RV Park while we were down there and made reservations for three weeks there next July, It is a very nice park.

  • No, was not aware of this site as I don't usually bother with RV park reviews----only the very worst.
