Casa de Fruta RV Orchard Resort [Hollister, CA]
• Dog Life: ... they charge extra for doggos, that’s literally speciesism but considering I have no thumbs, I cannot influence the decision makers. No fenced area, no real lawn for me either (“dog walk area”, pfft). I hates it, especially since there are wild roaming PEACOCKS to taunt me and the cat. At least we are allowed.
• As far as signal: workable!
AT&T LTE FULL BARS! 27 Mpbs down, 33 up
• Discounts: they *only* take Good Sam, used to be Passport America, not no more. No AAA, no nothing - just the Good Sam.
$270/weekly rate prior to pet fees and taxes - $291.6 final total.
Pricier than we like, but if human can work then it’s something we just grin and bear.
• The Park: Showering is a delight here. Beautiful, clean, great pressure, and ample private space in shower stalls that are more dressing room than cramped cleaning station.
Did I meantion this is FREE? Literally, I cannot say enough about these showers. Full-timers will *understand* why this makes me so giddy.
Parking lot with FHU utilities, nothing special. Mostly level, and if you get a good space then adequate shade.
DO NOT EAT AT THE RESTAURANT. We have stayed here twice, fair to say the restaurant is a hard pass. There is a country store, baked goods, ice cream... lots of options on the property. Sadly only have tried the not-good sit-down option of these.
TL; DR - Pricey, pets allowed, works in a pinch - the lack of edible sit-down food, and grass, is made up for by the amazing shower experience. Not terribly far from Santa Cruz, Monterey, or Big Sur - huge plus.
