Santa Nella RV Park

Very friendly, very clean. Super convenient location right off the I-5. Pea Soup Anderson's right down the street is fantastic! Hits the spot after a long day on the road.

Make sure to make a reservation (calling works best), because it usually fills up. Three rigs were turned away while we were checking in at 8 PM. We camped here on our way to Yosemite, on a Friday evening in April 2016. It's on the perfect distance from the Bay Area to reach on an evening after work. The traffic was fine too.
We paid $28 with Good Sam's Club, in the morning just before we were leaving. You can leave your payment in an envelope too, if you arrive late and leave early. The RV Park is big, but most of it is taken by permanent dwellers. All spots are pull through, and are short but double width, so you can park your car on the site next to your trailer. We needed leveling blocks.
As the highways are crossing near the park, you get some noise, but it did not bother us inside the fifthwheel.

Traveling down I-5 through central California can be tiring so it's nice to know where some good places are to go to ground for the night. Santa Nella RV Park is one of those kinds of places. It's easy to get off the interstate for yet it's just far enough off to cut the noise a bit. Check-in is simple if not exactly warm and fuzzy and the sites are plenty big even if they are a bit oddly shaped, being short but wide.

My only complaint, and one shared by even my husband, is that the bathrooms are in serious need of some deferred maintenance. While clean enough, they are very dated, dark and dingy. There are cracked floor tiles and peeling paint. Neither of us felt inclined to take advantage of the showers. Other than that the campground seems to be well enough maintained and we would certainly stay here again.

the park was very clean and you were given two sites. so it wasn't cramped at all. only downfall to the sites were lack of grassy area and no picnic tables. although they were paved and level.
staff was very nice and friendly. helped me to get a spot with the best WiFi for a job interview online. WiFi was pretty good, not great. AT&T cell service was spotty.
bathrooms were phenomenally clean and nice!
front half of the park was mostly people stopping by for a night. Back half was mostly long-term residents.
location was convenient. less than 15 minutes to big-name stores, like Target Walmart and Hobby Lobby. not really near any other shopping areas or nice restaurants though.
it is located on a busy road so there was a moderate level of noise.
overall, pleasant stay. would stay here again

Our expensive mountain bikes were stolen while we were sleeping. Our bikes were on racks on top of our car, they had three heavy duty rope locks around them and the racks themselves, they still got them off. Apparently this happens all the time in this park. There were security cameras but when we asked to look at the footage they told us they can’t access them. I would rather sleep at a truck stop or wal-mart parking lot over this park again. If they want to keep business they should hire an overnight security guard since the fence and “cameras” don’t seem to work.

The only positives are the nightly rate and the location off the 5 freeway. The sites appear to be pull through, but are too short for a 23 foot trailer and a 16 foot tow vehicle, requiring us to unhitch. The outside lights at night time are really bright & bothersome. The trash cans are standard residential metal cans, which were completely overflowing with trash on the ground. There are no outside amenities in terms of picnic table, fire pit, etc. other than the hook ups, a local rest area stop would be preferable.

Sort of an odd arrangement to allow longer motorhome/car rigs to fit in the shortish pull thru's. The nice lady in the office gave me 2 side by side spots... in my case 49/50 so that you can pull in diagonally and not have to unhook.
Sites are level concrete with paved roads. Place was clean but I agree with a previous review, the security lights were right between sites and really bright.
Ok for an overnight stop, not as noisy as a truck stop or rest area. Close to I-5, fuel and fast food, but Santa Nella isn't a recreation destination.

This is our second time here and it didn't disappoint again, going south bound this time and we knew we had to rest, regroup and do laundry and this was the place. It's clean, big double sites, good wifi and clean laundry room. Great job everyone.

The sites they rent out a nightly basis are concrete pads out front. The trees are planted in the last year or two and have a long ways to go before they cast any shade. Better stop in January than in July. There are some longer-term stays that are under permanent covers. Called on a whim while driving down I five. The rate of 45 is if you have good Sam or AAA, otherwise you get direct rate of 50. Full hook up and that’s great. Able to get some water and then head on out the next morning.

It’s a relatively busy road and there’s lots of trucks. And there is the occasional requisite train. All in all easy access and a place to lay your head for the night.

The bathroom is a little questionable. Well clean, there’s no soap dispenser at the sink. Very odd. One of the two toilets was out of order. The showers seem to be adequate. Test those out later.

We stayed here overnight. It’s right off of I5. We had a double wide site, concrete pad that was totally level with full hook ups. All the hook ups worked great and were clean. The bathrooms were very clean. The laundry was under construction so we couldn’t use it but it looks like it’s going to be nice. The staff was kind and helpful and let us stay an extra night at the last minute as we waited out a wind storm. Thank you, Dolly! There are fast food restaurants and a Starbucks across the four-lane road—route 33. Lots of security light at night—we liked that. Some road noise but we didn’t mind.
