Hey there!
We haven't done very many RV park reviews, so I thought I would do one today. We're currently staying at the Thousand Trails
Morgan Hill RV Resort for all the sites are pretty much gravel except for one and
that was a concrete slab that was built by one of our friends that
Stays here. Pretty much full-time one thing that we've learned in this area
There's a lot of full timers in this area, but they don't travel much they choose to live here full-time
because of the cost to live in, California
specifically it is close to the San Francisco Bay Area just because it's cheaper for them to live this way and
Enjoy the lifestyle at the same time and everybody that we've been talking to absolutely loves it
Even though they're pretty much just staying here. They will travel to short distances and back and forth so they can
stay there 14 days and
7 out or 21 days in seven out depending on whichever planning out one thing about this park
It does not have sewer hookup. You have to take your RV over to the dump station or
The honey wagon service, which is $25 for up to three pulls at one time
By the way for if you use one of the portable tanks
You can obviously fill those up and take them up and dump them at the dump station
We do not have any of our awnings out right now, but this is where we're staying
behind us here is a
big heel
Fence to him some of these sites have some real nice shade your typical
electrical hook-up and water
Just no sewer hookup take you around the back side. They have plenty of room
This is only the second place that we've been able to leave our dolly hooked up. So
As you can see
Clean space and if we wanted we could still
Park here in the back and that still needs us. We're in the park in the front
in the road
So that's pretty nice it
Leaves this room to choose whether we want to park in the front over the back
So now let's take a little ride around park area and show you around
oh, I forgot the electrical hook-up is 30 or 50 amp service one thing that they're really big about at this park and
also San Benito thousand trails and we were there is
The five mile per hour speed limit if you're going anything over the people seem to know it
Yeah radar built into their head. They'll tell you slow it down
So I'll turn this around and kind of give you a view of the park
But first this park, I'll have to check again and see how many sites it is
But it's fairly large. They do have cabins as well for cabin rentals
Michelle and I have used these
Shower houses just so that we wouldn't have to empty our tanks very often. The showers are really nice today
did a really good job the men's and the women's both have three showers in each and
The counter tops have all been redone. I
Checked nobody was in there. So that's a big plus not having a sewer hookup. It's probably the biggest downfall
This here is the pool house
here
They do have a huge pool area some things you can tell that needs some work
But good sign that we have seen is like for instance the pool house
The shingles were bad and they have a contractor there that is replacing the shingles right now
so they are seeming to do a lot of upkeep and trying to keep up with the place some of the
things like the miniature golf course that looks very dated and it doesn't
Seem like they really keep up with that. There's a lot of trees over it
So debris is all over the little putt-putt course all the time
Which I imagine would be extremely hard to keep up with with all the trees
Here they have some pickleball courts back to the back here
Is a shuffleboard and there is a poly ball court straight ahead
So here they have the laundry room in the middle. So this is the laundry area
but the good news is is that they are going to be taking this out here and this section where that
wood is on the wall there and
They're adding more
laundry facilities on the other side
But you can kind of see back in this room where they're a little white plastic inserts on the other side of that wall
That's where they're adding extra laundry machines. Those are the hookups for the washer
You have your pool and your laundry facility downstairs and then up here is the lodge and also there is a walking trail
Right over here that goes up into the woods up the hill
We have not been up that get
But we plan to here's the lodge area
There is a pool table in there
The kids desk
As you can see a little bit dated but
As I was saying
They are working on the roof over here, so they're doing some things trying to keep up
Of course roof is an important thing
They need to keep up with and this is where the trail is that I was talking about
They'll just go around the corner here and kind of show you
Start there's no steps or nothing like that. It's just your natural
Dirt trail open area here. It's kids wanting to play football or whatever a
Lot of open land in your cabins and your pickleball courts over there
So as we make our way past the pool here you have right back here is the adult lodge
Has a big-screen TV and another pool table in there in a little bar area that
basically for BYOB
In this area here they set up for movies on the weekends
they have this big screen setup and they do a projector and
Show movies and have speakers set up, of course, and then we've got a basketball court right next to it
not a bad basketball court
Here's one of your up stations
The single lane
over there is where the miniature golf putt-putt course is at and then
Over here. They have a pretty nice sand volleyball court
I think plastic PVC on the outside edge that holds the sand in and kind of gives you an area to know where your out-of-bounds
areas are
And it's a one-lane bridge
So you have to wait and stop and let somebody go through if you have oncoming traffic and here's the ranger station
And then here's your front office area now if you come here to use the washer and dryer
That little building on the edge
That's where you have to go in and buy a card for five dollars
If you don't have one already and then put money on that card
It's a dollar ninety-nine per wash and per dry at the laundry facilities
It does not take coins and it does not use the app like some of the Thousand Trails
resorts have I know Las Vegas some of their machines not all of them where you can just download an app and
Just make the machine work right from your app and instantly charges you they do have an air hose here as well
And they have propane that they sells well one other nice thing about this area
There's a lot of vineyards wineries in the area
They're all over including right here by the front entrance of Thousand Trails
Morgan Hill
Vineyard and there's your entrance
Now how handy is that?
Again there is no sewer hookups, but they do have dump stations the honey wagon service is available for
$25 they say it's $25. If you give them a one-day advance notice, here's another spot where they've got two
Sanitary dump stations
We like the park, it's really cozy peaceful even though there's a lot of people that stay here
It seems to be very peaceful you even on the weekends
the big downfall is not having that sewer hookup and that
Pretty much sums it up if there's something that I have not covered already
