I had a mixed experience at Ponderosa RV Resort. The location by the American River is stunning, but I found the check-in process and the availability of premium sites a bit lacking. The facilities were well-maintained and the staff friendly, but the WiFi was disappointing and the park felt a little cramped with full-time residents.

The premium sites by the river were very cramped, making it tough to set up the awning. I had to buy a longer sewer hose due to the distance from the outlet.

Staff interactions were pleasant. However, I think they could improve communication about site availability.

The resort's beautiful setting along the river is a highlight. But it was far from any towns or attractions, with Roseville being 45 minutes away.

The pool was great, and the grounds were clean and recently upgraded. But the WiFi was really spotty, which was frustrating during my stay.

I had a lovely time at Ponderosa RV Resort. The location was great, nestled between Auburn and Placerville, which made exploring easy. While the sites were just okay, the cleanliness of the bathrooms and lodge really impressed me. I would definitely return for the friendly atmosphere.

I enjoyed the beautiful beach at the resort, but my stay had its challenges. The cabin I received was not the one I booked, and the bunk beds were quite uncomfortable. On the plus side, the facilities were clean and the nearby café had amazing pies.
