Great resort, the river is beautiful! Pet friendly, close to Sacramento, easy to get to, decent phone service and stores nearby. My family loved it!

The campground itself is mountainous and precarious in places, but we found a nice shady spot in the E section. It's a popular place on the South Fork of the American River. The park was packed for 4th of July, everyone rafting, swimming, fishing, biking, and cooking out. The sites by the river are 30amp with no septic. There is a dump station up at the top of the park, or there is full hookups in the D section near the pool. We had spotty 4G on Verizon. Update: on hot days, the "30" amp sites don't have enough amps to to run just one air conditioner, made our cord overheat due to low watage. Had to use our generator during the day. We will pay the extra fee for the 50 amp sites next time.

The Ponderosa RV Resort in Lotus, CA is one of our favorite Thousand Trails resorts!!! Our first time staying there, we were having trouble finding a full hook-up site. It was a Saturday when I noticed a golf cart approaching, it was Janelle & Mike the weekend caretakers. She hopped out & asked how she could help. They immediately went to work, Janelle had Mike go to a spot that looked like a possible no-show & he put our name on it. They are a great team!! They go the extra mile to make each camper comfortable! I love that!!!

Beautiful location but spaces along the river were almost on top of each other. As Thousand Trails members we were supposed to have free camping but we were charged $5 a night for "premium" spot. Never heard of this before. It was very difficult to find our way around our first time in the park with lots of curves and hills. It would be wonderful to have someone take you to your site.

Take north shingle rd off hwy 50 straight to it
Anything along the river is nice and easy to back into
Yes you can bring your own or they rent them for 5 dollars a night
That is a really beautiful Campground, however it has the worst management I have ever seen. I've been there 3 times and every single time I've encountered a problem with the management. The only way things get fixed is called corporate!
No, as Ross pointed out- it's quite expensive without a membership. Highly recommend Thousand Trails membership.
Yes you can camp. They dont have many tent sites but there are plenty for all. I think the tent camping is 30 a night. Join the thousand trails and its free to camp at all there places. Its like 500 for the year. 👍
No age restrictions, just have to be properly maintained. Seasonal sites are determined by States. Some are 180 days use a year, others are year round.
No they are not....site 11 is separate from other sites. No one around that site and site 1 only has a site on one side.
Yes Rita, trout fishing! Rainbows and Browns. I also caught a pike.
They have yearly sites but you can only stay 210 nights a year. They are a thousand trails campground so, most camping there requires a membership.
You could during the winter, you should probably ask the staff to see what their fire restrictions are.
If you're a member and you have an RV site you're allowed to put up a tent there's a maximum six people per site I believe,
Not at the thousand trails RV park. Check out the Rubicon if you want to take your Polaris off road.
There was a store there when the Mexican restaurant was there. The restaurant is closed and so is the store. There is a Chevron station about 1/4 mile up the road with a small convenient store inside.
There are also coin laundromats in Georgetown, Shingle Springs, near Rescue, and Folsom that we use depending on other errands we are running.
Yes
I would say call and ask.
It does have a pool. Its near the entrance of the park.
There's no monthly rate. It's a timeshare for RVs.
You can call or check the thousand trails website so you can select what options you prefer.
Long-term is around $4000. Extra and you have to be out of the park 3 months out of the year
I pay for my membership yearly, it's around $500. I believe you can go online and purchase a 1 zone yearly pass for $455. Or add another zone for an additional $50.
