Rancho Oso RV Park

We camped here with our friends Kathy & Grant for 4 nights on June 21.  Other than going out to dinner and church Saturday night, we spent the whole time in the park.  This is a membership park and a working ranch on 300 acres.  There are two sections to this park; one with full hookups with 30 amp electric, water, and sewer, and the other has just electric and water and there are also some dry camping in the limited hookup section.  We were in the full hookup section which had relatively level  gravel sites as I did not need to use my jacks.  There was a picnic table and barbecue stove at our site, but no camp fire pit.  Our site was wide enough and long enough for our rig.  We attended a free rodeo and cattle roundup while there and also attended a seminar about the history of the ranch.  The property also has two clean, well used, swimming pools and a heated spa.  There is a mini golf course, horseshoe pits, pickelball court, pool table and ping pong in the clubhouse.  There was also a wine tasting while we were there.  On weekends they served breakfast and dinner.  There is really no reason to leave.  There was no over the air TV or cell phone service.  We paid $10 per night through RPI and I rate this park M****.

Sweetwater County Park

We camped here for 4 days on April 19 to celebrate our 47th wedding anniversary.  This park is located 15 minutes east of downtown San Diego, Ca.  There are two separate sections of this park; one with full hookups and another older section with partial hookups.  The partial hookups has more shade and are on gravel pads.  The newer section has many pull through sites with full hookups including 50 amp electric and many have great views of the surrounding mountains as it sits on top of a mountain.  We booked the full hookup pull through site with a level concrete pad and had ample length for my 40 foot motorhome and Chevy Tahoe without disconnecting.  I was only able to get 3 english channels on the over the air TV.  I cancelled Direct TV as I was tired of them raising my rates every other month and since I upgraded my analog TV to digital my existing satellite dish was unable to get high definition TV.  I did have weak Verizon cell service.  There is a great clubhouse that overlooks  the lake which can be rented for an additional fee.  We did not spend much time in the park as we spent our time visiting the Gaslamp district and Hotel Coronado.  Our site cost $34.25 per night which included our reservation fee.  I seem to have lost my pictures for this campground, but their website has some excellent photo's.  I rate this park P****.
