Pros: location close to the river, a couple of restaurants near by. Gorilla taco is walking distance with drinks. Bakery across the street has the best delicious treats not caked in sugar. Cons: sites are poorly marked, lodge could be better cleaned up. Spiders are visible in webs, window and doors should be cleaned regularly. Rangers work from 9-5, so after hrs campers are smoking weed, loud music with bass, especially if your next to someone, food for thought it doesn’t matter what time quiet hrs are, no one wants to hear music and shouldn’t have to from another camper. Listening to music within your site is respectful, making others having to listen to your music is not! And again this morning at 6am I woke up to bass music.There should be a NO bass or loud music policy. No one reads the rules it seems. Fighting and yelling at 6am from the top of their lungs should be a ban from park. Some people are camping to get away from noise!! Dogs barking and some people go around the speed bump so they don’t have to slow. Full time campers have best slots by river leaving visitors and vacationers no chance to enjoy the river view as well. Crowded like sardines in slots that we can give the other camper next to us a cup of coffee, through the window. I don’t know if it’s like this always but it was my experience on this trip.I will come back next year but if it’s the same and nothing has changed, it will be my last.

Ponderosa is a small park but the amenities make up for it. Beautiful cabins with everything anyone would need. Immaculate and fully stocked. Tanya (sp?) the manager and John were friendly, professional, helpful and they both have great energy! The pool and club house are immaculate and the river running by the park is fantastic! I highly recommend this Thousand Trail park.

Horrible experience on our weekend camping. First the cabins only have 2 rolls of toilet paper when there’s 6 people in the cabin like common is it hard to put two more in there. Then we unfolded the sofa bed at night and the cover they put on it was so dirty I asked myself don’t they clean when other family leaves.it was disgusting but good thing I brought my own bed sheet.they charge so much more than hotel rooms and at-least hotels keep it clean.I also asked one of the workers if I could have my dogs in their cage by the pool area obviously not inside the pool since we were checking out and it was hot to leave my dogs in the car and he said that’s fine as long as there not inside….then this other lady sees us by the pool and says there not allowed by the pool area and I told her the guy said it was fine but we will go away. Then that guy appears and says he never told me that and made up an excuse of course infront of her. Very unprofessional .never coming back

Thousand Trails needs to get someone out here to sort this place out. Employees are locking up whatever service (like the pool or bathrooms and showers) whenever they don't want to take care of them. Some employees admit there is nothing wrong with them, and some give excuses that seem random based on who you ask and who is asking. If you don't want to be on a section that is so loud with road noise you feel like you are parked in a highway (and better yet wanting one with open bathrooms), they want you to dish out a bunch more money on top of your membership just to be in one of the few spots that isn't awful. In fact, I was left feeling like they would open services and give better spots only if I forked over more and more cash. I know a lot of Thousand Trails places are old and falling apart, but this one could be more "quaint" and less "disaster" if they actually just took care of things and stopped extorting guests. "A" loop though? An absolute nightmare of road noise all day and night, and should not be used for anything but overflow parking.

Overall, I’ve had of good experience each time I stayed here. However, lately it’s really hard to book an RV spot unless you do it months in advance. This is because of the flood damage and closure of the bottom section near the river. I know they’re working on fixing and reopening that section but who knows when that will happen. The bathrooms are nice and clean and well-kept. The cabins are also well-maintained and clean. The only problem is many of the sites are cramped and not easy to get into and only a small section has sewer and only 1 dump station.
