  • Is the park big rig friendly?

    We have had units of all sizes successfully navigate in and out of the park. However, our road is tight with many trees, among other obstacles. Big rig drivers must be experienced and confident in their ability to navigate tight spaces. Additionally, our big rig sites are limited, so if you are considering an upcoming big rig stay it would be beneficial to make your reservation ASAP.

  • Are pets allowed at the park?

    Mostly-- Yes! Please review our guidelines:

    1. Pets are not allowed in Tiny Home units. If you bring a pet into a Tiny, you may be asked to leave and/or be subject to a fine. (applies to reservations created after 10/5/24)

    2. Pets must be on leash AND under owner control. They may roam free inside of the dog park

    3. On-leash pets are allowed at the lake

    4. Pet feces must be cleaned up immediately

  • Where is the lake?

    Lake access is located directly across CA-20 from the park. Walk into the right side parking lot of The Lodge at Blue Lakes. You will see a tall, thick, white vinyl fence. Our gate lock is at the very end of the fence, just below the slope along the edge of the highway.

  • Do I need to make a reservation in advance?

    The short answer is-- yes! Please request a reservation at least 24hrs in advance of your stay. Depending on availability, we may accept same day reservations during office hours. No "walk ins" after office hours.

  • Does the park have rig age restrictions?

    For guests, we do not have rig age restrictions.

    However, all units must be in good condition to enter the park. Management has the right to deem whether or not the rig is in "good condition". No significant cosmetic issues, broken windows, large dents, peeling paint, etc.

  • Does the park have WiFi?

    Complimentary WiFi is available throughout the park.

    Please note that some rigs may be fortified in such a way that the signal cannot penetrate through. Step outside and you'll likely see the signal strengthen.

    Additionally, if you need reliable internet access for important tasks, we recommend having a backup option in case our WiFi doesn't fully meet your needs.

  • Does each site have full hookups?

    Yes indeed! Each site is equipped with water, sewer, and electricity. Most of our sites proved 30 AMP electrical. You may be able to snag one of our few 50 AMP sites if you book ahead.

    We do have full time residents living within our community. Our residents love seeing guests enjoy their time here. We just ask that everyone be mindful of each other's space and of quiet hours, but please don't worry—everyone understands you're here to have fun!

  • Is the park family friendly?

    Yes! Many families have made precious memories here at Blue Lakes. This is a lovely area for swimming, fishing, lake-view walks, having BBQs, playing lawn games, and more. We do require children be well supervised-- mainly due to the park's close proximity to the highway and the water.

    Children should NEVER be permitted to cross the highway on their own, and are NOT allowed on the beach without adult supervision.

  • Does the park have a market?

    Our neighborhood market is just across the street. Grab your essentials, purchase a fresh deli sandwich, even enjoy a cold beer on tap.

  • Is the park suitable for wheelchairs or persons with limited mobility?

    Please note that due to the natural terrain, it may not be fully accessible for individuals with limited mobility or those requiring wheelchair access. We recommend contacting our office prior to booking so we can help determine if our facilities will meet your specific needs.

  • Are tents allowed?

    In RV sites, tents are allowed to be put up for children to play in during the day. Tent sleeping is not permitted in RV sites due to zoning regulations.
