The River Lodge RV Park - Los Molinos, California

Jennifer Medina

Loved this place in 2019 and lived there till this July 2024. The new owner (Nov 2023) wanted the feral cat community gone, I didn't know what that meant, so I told her it was illegal to harm poison or maim them. She said I was bullying her by implying the rumors of her telling people to trap them and put them somewhere else were true. The county also says you can not just abandon them somewhere new. Since I had spent nearly 5 years nuetering vaccinating and taking the kittens to shelter, I was surprised she wanted me gone as well. I always paid my rent and my utilities but she wanted me gone. I had never been written up for anything and was suddenly facing eviction. She didn't care about me or my family she just wanted me and the cats gone. It's her property, but I felt afraid every day for those cats. Now there is every breed of large dog there and very few people keep them leashed. Someone got mauled by a pitbull summer of 2024. I wish she had just talked to me about leaving, I needed time to find a place to take the cats. But I had 60 days and I couldn't find a place...was going to be homeless and I felt entirely unwelcome. So that's my review. I loved that place, helped keep the cat community healthy, helped reduce the cat population and I had a family there, friends and plans for the summer, until I was run off desparate to save the cats I had grown to love. For those who think i shouldnt have fed the sick starving river cats, I guess that just makes me an asshole.

Prior Owners: no good and left this place in shambles
New Owners: Luckily there are new owners and they are just getting the lay of the land, let's hope they make some good moves that help those that stay there, and the community.

I live across the river from this place. The upkeep of the huge area and campsites no longer exists. tjey rent.out the cottages and main rooms now but it looks run down and not so welcoming at all.

We stayed here in late March 2016. While the location was quite peaceful and beautiful, it was nothing like the pictures at the website. There were cabins that I'm sure were very nice at one time but are now quite dilapidated, and the restrooms and laundry were completely unusable; they appeared not to have been used for years.

But the strangest part of our visit was there was no management there when we arrived. We didn't arrive late, we hadn't received any communication from the management, there was no note on the door, and there was no phone number to call. We waited out front for someone to greet us, as instructed by the sign in the driveway, and finally, two older gentlemen who appeared to live by the train trestle came over and told us the management had gone to visit family, they didn't know when/if they'd be back, and we should just drive over to the RV area and find ourselves a spot anywhere, which we did. We never saw them again. It was rather disconcerting.

Again I want to say that the location on the river was quite nice. There were two other couples parked there, and we all had a pleasant time.

When it came time to leave, we half expected an email, phone call, or maybe even someone representing the management would be there, but there was no one and no communication. Perhaps it is a common practice for RV parks to allow their visitors to have the run of the area, but since we had never experienced that situation, we found it strange and a little uncomfortable.

So....we travel a lot in our travel trailer and have visited many campgrounds. This place has one thing going for it...location...if you want to be away from all things civilized. It sits right in the river although there is no easy access to the water. We have visited three times in three years. Every time there's a new owner. Last year we were the only people at the site and no one ever came around to collect our money. The office never opened. The sites are starting to grow grass, as opposed to weeds and dirt and it looks like some maintenance is being performed. If this park was manned and maintained it could be great.

I recently moved here and it's a well managed rv park and lodge. The manager seems to go above and beyond to keep the park maintained along with helping tenants feel comfortable and welcome. This is the first rv park out of 8 that feels like home!!
Update: moved to private property about a year ago in Gerber/Tehama more space & .privacy

Bathrooms torn up and closed, long term. Laundry gone. Many accessable buildings falling apart. Huge accounting errors in regards to the billing of tenants. Illegal cutting off power to sections of R.V. Park. Plumbing problems, leaking roofs, and rotting floors common in the rental mobile homes. Etc... . Too bad. Is very pretty spot, right on the river and next door to Los Molinos park,and close to the necessary amenities, without feeling close.
