Awesome place. River was way high and fast so no fishing yet. Pool was great! We stayed in a cabin. Very nice but beds were a little uncomfortable.  Bring foam pads if you can. Otherwise everything was perfect!  

Great place to visit!

Ponderosa RV Resort is our favorite location due to how well it is maintained and how friendly the staff is.  This was our first cabin stay at this location and was the cleanest well maintained cabin we’ve stayed in so far.  Thank you for a great week!

Cabin stay

We love coming here and we come every year! Great river location and the staff is so nice! The cabins are always are favorite!  We met some really nice folks that lease property there and they just love it too! 

Girls trip!

Great locaction. Quiet at night. Interesting near by parks about gold discovery.  Short drive to Placerville or other services. Only problem was occasional homeless wandered in. Smoking in one of bathrooms. 

Honeymoon on the River.

Had fun with other members! Made some long term memories and friends. 
Had family there we shared a meal and some great times. 
Enjoyed being able to shower.
Enjoyed the river and ability to take my dogs to the dog park and the river! 

Great visit

Sarah & Stormy!!! These Ladies were Amazing! Thank You!  We had true American River/Gold Country experience. We stayed in cabin #1. 
The previous reviews are not close to accurate. 
When one camps, it is a laid-back atmosphere the staff always had a smile on their face and a willingness to help more. We stayed for a week and it was so much fun! We found little waterfalls, Trails, blackberries, calm water, rapid water, & super cool people. The state park was nearby. It was a really cool experience. The visitors center there is mindblowingly cooool!! I feel like it is a Hidden Gem the gift shop nearby was probably one of the coolest gift shops I ever saw also and very affordable I love the blacksmith whom you learn about a railroad ring its cute!!! The rings cost a dollar in the gift shop.
 I would say beware of the $10 per kid gold panning. 
This Ponderosa TT park offers free gold pans to check out (state park gift shop nearby has free life jacket borrowing, 6$ gold pans, 1$glass vials).. a lot of people bring something to float on and tie it off, a lot of other people enjoy the White Water rafting. The water is higher in the afternoon.  My biggest con was the cabin was not wired with the proper wattage. If you want to use the microwave you are not allowed to use the air conditioner which is difficult preparing dinner for five little boys while it's 103 outside. They should really take a look at that!! I have not had this issue at other Thousand Trails cabins.

 I saved the best for last the two employees name Stormy and Sarah, the staff were Beyond accommodating friendly and just generally really great humans!! They made us feel like we were their favorite. We cannot wait to come back again we left this campsite feeling like we made some new best friends, great family memories, and a breath of fresh air away from all the noise of the city.

Love It Here! Thank You Stormy & Sarah!!

Easy to find, lovely area, on the river, great for all ages. We only have one income so finding a place that is not an arm and leg is really important right now. Pondarosa is affordable. Nice drive from San Francisco. America river is beautiful. Cold but beautiful. Some people stay in there RV's for a long time so they really know the place. Lots of great chats and laughs!!
Will be back for sure!! 

Great place to stay

We took our new Imagine Travel trailer and found a cozy spot. It wasn’t terribly busy which we liked. Beautiful scenery. Friendly staff and just an all around good experience. We look forward to returning someday, probably when the weather is a little warmer. 

Thanksgiving Campers

We always like our stay at the Ponderosa.  However, after months of being completely closed down because of a blown transformer we found that many sites throughout the campground had bags over the electrical outlets.  At least some of those bagged outlets seemed to have stable power; so, not sure why they were bagged so they couldn’t be used.

Nice Place to Stay

Be aware that there are no sewer hookups and no free wifi.  Also, as a first come first serve campsite, you will likely not get the nice sites by the river, and the rest are very close together.  Unfortunately, half the campground was out of service due to an electrical outage, but I would recommend the E loop when it is available again - good size spaces and trees!
