This RV Park was built about 10 years ago and has nice pull through spots and grassy areas. The trees aren't full grown yet, but it is a pleasant spot with a nice view of the mountains and the valley. They have full amenities including wi-fi, laundry, cable, 50 foot length sites, ADA accessible bathrooms and a children's play area. They can accommodate electrical needs at 20, 30, and 50 Amps.

If you are looking for a nice spot to camp and to see sites off the beaten path, this just might be the ticket! Etna is a charming little town that has its roots in the area Gold Rush in during the 1850's and 1860's. They have a small, but nice museum, a micro-brewery that not only has beer, but great root beer, the Etna Brewery, and the Scott Valley Drug Store (see photo at right) in Etna is a place not to be missed ~ great ice cream, soda fountain, working pharmacy, souvenirs from the area including gold jewelry from the area and a wonderful building!
