Ponderosa RV Resort



We arrived here on July 6 for 2 nights.  This park is located on the American River in Lotus, Ca.  This is a Thousand Trails park.  We expected sewer hookups, but the few available were reserved for their own members.  Navigating the roads in this park is very challenging for a 40 footer.  Campsites were very narrow and we were not able to get satellite reception, no cell phone service, no wi fi.  We were able to get 50 amp electric for an additional $3 fee per night.  There were 3 very nice sites called super premium sites on the River, but I don't know who qualifies to use those sites.  This campground is also selling or leasing sites in this park.  We would not return to this park and rate it M**.  It was very hot in the mid 90's so we really needed 50 amp electric to run both air conditioners.  We took a day trip to Placerville on the second day, a 30 minute drive down highway 49.  This was the center of the gold rush in California and many criminals were hung in this city.
