Review Detail

LIke the others have stated; it's noisy here! A lot of industrial actvitiy; trains, trains and more trains, and semi-truck noise kept me in earplugs every night. HOWEVER, despite what others say about "not much to do here" I found it a great base camp for heading into San Francisco and Muir Woods (within 90 mins), getting over to Yosemite for the day (I wouldn't like the drive in a big rig on the STEEP, twisting hwy 120, and it was under 2 hours), or to the great kid museums and aquariums in the bay area and Sacremento. Wanda and Bob are GREAT! Very helpful!! The campground is neat, well maintained as are the bathrooms and laundry. There is recycling (except paper), a newspaper stand, and LOTS for kids; Just check with the Youth Center (right over the fence next to the gym and laundry) and see what's goin' on; we attended a Halloween party, Haunted House and TONS of activities and crafts all the time! There is a nice playground in housing (within whistling distance :), and the folks who "run" all this are marvelous - my kids had a great time. I would put up with the noise again to have all this while we visit the area and catch up on maintenance/etc. Note: There isn't a true Comm/BX so getting into Manteca for shopping/gas is mandatory. Raleys grocery on Lathrop Ave. has a good selection of health foods.
