Alameda County Fairgrounds RV Park

I needed to take a dump. Well, my trailer did. There aren't a lot of places to do this in the East Bay. One you must be camping at, another in a recreation park, and one in SL. The SL was broken and the two others...yeah no. A bit of a drive from the house but worth the drive for a nice clean place to do business. The folks inside the office were nice people. It would be a good enough place to stay for those doing a show circuit and having to stay close for a few days. As campgrounds go, the current rating is accurate, and we wouldn't stay here unless by necessity. Still, nice folks, easy to do your business. Three stars!

Since our last visit the park office with a small store and the new section have opened, and one of the old sections is devoted to horse racing. The new section is very nice at $84 rather than $44 a night in the old section. The old section is still sketchy as run down units are moved every 21 days to basically live here except during the county fair when everyone has to leave. If they rebuilt the old section this park would be worth 3 stars without caveat. For now they are held back by the old section. They are barely 3 stars.

3 stars for location. Power and water are good. WiFi is excellent. Please take your revenue and re-grade your existing rv spots. Definitely no pride in this park. It is a mess when it rains. No one that works here cares about these reviews. I would be embarrassed to call this place my employer.

The grounds keepers are very rude and the bathrooms are extremely dirty. Can't use showers way too dirty. The county could do a lot better job.

Nothing but dust and dirt. No one I could see to enforce the rules. Don't know why we had to give the year and condition of our RV. We were about the only one that wasn't duck taped or in this century. People park their extra cars anywhere they want. Open our door and had to squeeze by a truck parked so close to our RV, not his spot. Parking in a open space. If someone has it reserved they are out of luck when they show up. Someone had already had an argument with him for doing it in his site. Dogs running around with out leashes. Your dog might be nice, but mines not when your unleashed dog runs up on us. Please if you are going have rule, enforce them. That would help a lot Also tent camping which they said wasn't allowed

COMPLETE GARBAGE! Do not stay here! Writing this review feels overwhelming because the amount of things wrong with this place, is plentiful. The only thing this RV Park has going for it, is it's location, in that it's a close drive to everything in the Bay Area but that is not enough to warrant ever staying here again. Outside of the location, it's just a shit show. As was mentioned by other reviewers, we did not get the spot that we selected in our online reservation from over two months ago. It seems that they just put people wherever they want, no explanation, no apologies. These people are here to take your money and that is their only objective. There is absolutely no one "managing" the property at all. It seems that this fact has gotten out to the homeless population because my husband walked in on a homeless man showering, with his bicycle and all of his belongings sprawled out all over the men's bathroom, one morning. The bathrooms are filthy. They may say that they're cleaned daily but they are NOT. We understand that it is an RV Park but everyone is crammed into the spots like sardines. The entire middle row where we had to squeeze our trailer into was a giant mud puddle. They are clearly too cheap and too lazy to be bothered with gravel, so since it rained during our stay, we had to walk through standing water and mud to get into our trailer the entire time. Need propane!? Sorry boutcha. My husband walked over to the RV Parts and Service building during their posted business hours to refill and the doors were locked. When he asked the ladies inside the General Store if it was going to open, they told him "We're not affiliated with him and he didn't show up today." The RV Park portion of the Park doesn't have its own exit and entrance, so if there is an event at the Fairgrounds, you'll have to enter and exit by waiting in-line behind people who are paying for parking, every single time you return to the park. If there is an event, they will also block off the back entrance to the fairgrounds so there is no pedestrian access to downtown Pleasanton from the RV Park without walking ALL the way around the fairgrounds, removing any benefit to being that close to downtown. This place is just awful. Filthy, mismanaged, hideous and inconvenient in a plethora of ways. Never again.

OMG what happened to this rv park?! It's crowded, loud, dirty, and when we arrived our spot was occupied. There were obviously long-term residents there and some questionable characters. We lost out on our money and did not stay. Everyone is packed in like sardines!

We have been staying here since 2011. This is the first time we have had a bad experience. The staff is great except for Brad that checked us in. He is not very well liked by others, because he is a "HOT HEAD". Always keep the rv park rules handy. Quiet time per the rules that are attached to your reservation is 10pm to 6am. I was wiping the heavy dew off my motorhome, before it run down the side of the coach, and checking the condensate filters on my air conditioners at 7am. He threatened us with a violation on quiet time, washing our motorhome and said he could make us leave the park. I knew he didn't have a leg to stand on, so he stomped off. I contacted the fairgrounds staff, and they told us we hadn't violated any rules and they would update Brad on the park rules and regs.

very basic RV park - spots are VERY close - clean bathrooms - approximately 1/2 the spots are 'full timers' - internet is not reliable

Wow, what a shitty place to stay at. Nothing's kept up and night prices are unjustified for what it looks like to stay in a dirt lot. The only thing that they've got going well is the fairgrounds events. My family and I will NEVER stay here ever again and I wouldn't recommend this to any of you guys either. It was such a terrible experience that I'd rather stay in a Target parking lot.
