Russian River RV park review

Russian River Thousand Trails RV park resort and camp ground. This Rv park is in Cloverdale, right off Redwook Highway and interscts the Russian river. Cloverdale is in a beautiful aria that is widely known for its agriculture, specifically for its wine. The aria is really mountain/hill-y, the drive here was amazing, watching the vineyard covered hills as they sloped and rose into the sunset...
The Rv park itself is also a great park, one of my favorites! The park is in a ditch in between some mountain/hills and is encased in deep lush forest. The sites are big and are spaced far apart from each other, which gives plenty of space for our crazy lives! ;) The bathrooms are clean and taken care of (as much as they can, you can see that this park has a limited allowance and so there bathrooms are old, but they take care of them better than most TT's I've been too). The staff are all friendly and love kids (unlike some TT's we've been to). And they don't have strict rules such as 'You can't advertise you business here' or ' keep you'r children inside the RV if you are not watching them'. The family lodge has fast, reliable internet (most of the time), that is only a short walk away from anywhere in the park (even though its a big park). This park is a great place for 'weekenders' so if you'r full-time the weekends can get a little crazy, especially in the arias with more tent sites. But if you chose a good spot the week days are nice and calm and quiet and sometimes you can hear the river flowing.
 Speaking of the river, it is awesome! It's perfectly cool, but not too cold. It is really fun to play in and it doesn't get too fast or too deep. We found some tad poles and baby fish in the shallow parts and Lorna, Cedar and I like to play with them and find cool shells and rocks.
The temperature is perfect here! Most days the high is like 80 degrees, which is way better than the last place we were at. I think that part of the reason is all the shade. The trees are huge and thick here, probably because we are so close to the Redwoods. I love all the shade here, it makes it seem cool and relaxed. And the sun never really rises early and wakes me up too early in the morning. :)
The one and only downside is the snakes and poison oak. We cannot go off of any trails and we have to be careful to stay away from the side of the road. But the oak is easy to avoid if you are careful and we haven't seen any snakes yet.

Over all this is an AWESOME park and I definitely recommend for full-timers and weekenders to come!
★★★★☆!
