49er RV Ranch

Funny, the quieter is is, the louder the quiet is! You would think i could hear a pin drop! If you drive up to the end of the road, there is an 8 mile road down to the Wild Rivers whereI watch HUGE NEW Motorhomes descending like an I Love Lucy Show.... Riiiiccckkkyyy. Look out...! The view is magnificent. It is 8 miles straight down.

Employees are very nice and courteous, but they only have 8 overnight spots and the rest are full timers. The hospitality coffee house and communal fire pit are no longer operated due to staffing. If you are looking for a place to lay your head by Columbia state park this will work for a night. It just wasn't for us

The BEST RV park we have stayed at! The staff are super helpful and will help with any cables or adaptors that you might need help with. They have a convenience store with basic accessories. The park is gravel which was great because it started to rain and we didn't have mud puddles everywhere. The bathrooms are super clean and they have a shower and laundry you can use. I loved that they spaced 1 space in between each rv set up. We were in spot 55 in the corner and it was perfect! They have individual fire pits during winter season. They have a dog park in the front section. Larry helped lead us to our site and was super helpful with a couple questions we had. We live a few hours from here but we're talking about coming back just bcuz of the atmosphere and the park setup. It was so clean, had a picnic table, and each site was sectioned off. Hopefully will be back soon!

I had a hard time at first someone was in my spot andafter they got her to move out of my spot she moved back into it it took 2 days for her to quit parking in my space she was in a spot with a 5th wheel and 3 otehr big trucks The spot was great there is a store who even had a plug so i could charge my iphone Im a first timer and they helped with all teh wires plugs and even the dumping the tanks it was a nice vacation

So quiet, staff=great, places to hike and the staff will hand you extensive handouts and maps PLUS give descriptions of the hikes and biking too, the owner is a kick!

Our 1st time here. It was amazing. We got there a few days before Thanksgiving. We bought a new power plug and it was the wrong one (left the old one at home). They did everything they could to help us either fix or make a new cord. We had to get a new end for it and they told us where to go. Came back and we were good to go. Our framily showed up. They helped with backing everyone in. The place is very clean. Everyone was helpful and kind. We were able to use the building for our thanksgiving dinner. Lots to do for kids. Tether ball, gold panning, playhouse, horseshoes, dog park and a mile away from Columbia State park. We also went to Sonora for the Christmas parade and Natural Bridges for some swimming and hiking. The store there is super cute and stocks a little of everything. We will for sure be back. If you love the area, you will love the campground. And those that put the countless hours in to keep it a clean, safe, fun place.

What an amazing stay! Friendly staff!We showed up 10pm first night ever in an rv and they helped us into our spot! Full hook ups and they even sent someone to help with a clogged toilet! I can't say enough great things about our night there.

The wife and had a great stay at the 49er ranch,the staff was wonderful.so many things to do in the area.we will return

First of all I see some of the negative reviews and while I see the frustration, I think there needs to be some thought behind out comments.This park is super clean and also quite cozy. Cozy being small, sites are very close together as it is an older park and I would say about 3/4 are full timers who do live away from the camping spots. They have many facilities, ie an awesome laundry facility, a small gym, restrooms, a hospitality center that serves morning coffee, Friday free meals and smores around a community campfire. It also has a gathering facility for RV clubs and such, as well as I found a very well stocked on site store. They have cable which is often hard to find in older parks as well, and great wifi.That said, this park is definitely geared to an adult crowd, more of a retired type of camper who enjoys a quiet place close to town. For a smaller facility they have some rather large spots so those with larger rigs ie diesel pushers should not shy away, just call and make sure your rig will fit. We came with kids (ages 7, 9/, 10) and I will say, it wasn't the best fit. That in no way is a reason to leave a negative review. Not all parks are suited for all needs. There is no place to play really. The hilly topography is not conducive to bikes, and they coziness not conducive to play. Again, not a negative, just a consideration when booking. You have to think, will this suit our needs?As far as the staff. We had nothing but the best treatment from the staff. They were friendly, helpful, welcoming. They didn't say one negative thing about the kids even though I am sure for some of their guests they were a little bummed to hear them playing. The kids walked up to the store for candy where they were treated politely as they behaved politely. We were there for Veteran's day weekend which meant we were there for Sunday football and wouldn't you know it???/ I forgot our Coax cable... Not even sure how that left the rig but it did. The staff got us a huge cord so we could run it and watch the games outside and bbq!!! Sooo generous with their time, it was very nice. Also they help guide you in which is very helpful because of the coziness. I just cannot complain about this park. I can find that at this time it's not the best fit, but I can definitely see coming back when the kids are grown and I am in for the relaxing quiet weekend.

TLDR - a small RV park,but quaint, friendly, and some small and neat good rush decorations/exhibits.* Wi-Fi is actually decently fast. Three megabytes per second download. I've been to many RV parks and this is actually considered to be pretty good* There's a dog run! It's a decent size, fenced in area for the dogs to run around. It's all dirt, and it's sloped, but it was very convenient for our puppy to stretch his legs* Friendly customer service. Everyone waves, says hello, starts up the conversation if you're interested.* hospitality house - serves morning coffee!* they help you back into your spot. Even though I didn't really need this help, I think it's a nice touch. I'm sure they also want to make sure nobody bulldozes over a fence lol* site is very small, All the spots are around a loop* full hookups* very close to nearby attractions, Columbia historic State Park, moaning caverns, etc* cute little old west gold mining exhibits on site. There is a gold panning spot that we did not use but apparently you can make appointments with the office.
