1 Review on “Black Meadow Landing”

  When I was a kid I used to come here every summer with my grandparents, so I have very fond memories of this place. I didn’t come back for over 20 years, then made two trips in two years. I really wanted to like this place, but it’s tough to love. On our first return visit, we stayed in one of the park models. It was spacious with powerful A/C that kept us cool even in September, but it was pretty dirty and run down. Nothing inside or out had been updated since they were originally built. If the price was half of what they actually charge, it may have been worth it. On our subsequent visit we had our own trailer so lodging isn’t an issue, but the RV spaces here leave something to be desired. The park was largely empty, but for reasons I can’t understand, park management stuffed everyone in the lower section (near the water) all together at one end instead of spacing everyone out. The spaces are very narrow, making this particularly annoying. We noticed this when we arrived and immediately requested a different spot. The office gave us a list of open spaces, and we picked one we liked with empty spots on either side. The next afternoon, someone showed up in a Class A and scrunched in right next to us. As far as we understood, the spot we occupied and the spots immediately adjacent to us were not reserved, so despite our best effort we still ended up with another camper right on top of us. Worse, he insisted on parking his rig facing the “wrong” direction, meaning his front door faced ours. This isn’t the park’s fault, but it definitely reduced our personal space and thus our enjoyment of our stay here. Had we planned on staying more than a few days, I would have moved to yet another space in order to have more breathing room. There are spaces right along the water with only 30 amp electricity. If you want 50 amps, you have to pick an “inland” space. We opted for the latter, because staying cool was important to us. There are many additional spots further away from the water in what resembles a Walmart parking lot. Those seem more spacious than the “beach” spots. There is a diner here, which we never visited, and a small convenience store that sells essentials, including beer and alcohol. (Word from other campers was that the restaurant wasn’t great.) Office staff was pleasant. Bathrooms were gross and barely maintained. The last 7 miles or so of road coming into and out of this place is paved, but very bumpy, winding, and steep. We rarely drove faster than 15 mph. All in all, I wouldn’t recommend this park unless you’re desperate for a place to go boating. Lake levels are low everywhere these days, so options are limited, but I have to think there must be somewhere better to go than here. Especially for the very high price. We paid $75/weekday, $80/weekend day, plus $12/day for electricity, so between $87 and $92 total per day. One of the highest rates we’ve paid, for the one of the worst parks. California. Gotta love it.

  

  

  

  Burros roam freely around here. Kind fun!
