Review

What comes through in these remarks is a portrait of a mellow, quiet park that's easy on the wallet and, for many visitors, comfortable enough to make a return visit likely. Several reviewers describe a setting that's clean and well kept, with standout notes about how spotless the shower facilities and pool area are. The pull-through sites are generally appreciated, and the overall vibe is calm and low-key, with people praising the friendly neighbors and the sense of community that seems to settle in when you've got people living there for extended stays. A recurring thread is that the park is in a convenient spot - within walking distance of restaurants, and close to Walmart and Safeway - making everyday errands straightforward and hassle-free.

The management story in these reviews is central and evolves over time. There's a strong sense that Christy and Paul, the managers mentioned most often, bring a helpful, personable approach that many residents find outstanding. For a good portion of the comments, their leadership marks a noticeable improvement over past conditions, with several reviewers explicitly noting that the place has "gone up a full star" since they took over. People describe them as friendly and approachable, with a genuine willingness to help residents and guests; one reader even calls the management a "great family" that runs the park with high ethics and a people-first attitude. There are also mentions of other staff - Lisa, specifically - being kind and helpful, which reinforces a perception of a working team that cares about residents.

The social atmosphere is another strong point. Reviewers frequently mention friendly residents and a welcoming, community-minded feel. Comments about playing games like corn hole and simply enjoying the company of neighbors paint a picture of a park that isn't just about a place to sleep, but about belonging. Several people highlight the owners' family presence and the sense that the park promotes a pleasant, home-like environment. Even for those who stay for short periods, the sentiment of "great neighbors" and a "very mellow" vibe recurs, suggesting that the park cultivates a laid-back culture that many people appreciate.

Of course, there are caveats and mixed notes. Some reviewers point to negative or challenging experiences that temper the overall glow. There are mentions of rude or insensitive behavior from some staff in certain situations, including complaints about management "not putting up with nonsense" and an instance where someone felt that the management's response to a resident who was critically ill was lacking in sensitivity. A few comments touch on security concerns in a non-gated setting and note that, while most people are friendly, there can be "shady" folks in the mix. Wifi access is not universal, with at least one reviewer explicitly noting "No WiFi," and others hinting at occasional access issues, which can matter to guests who rely on online connectivity.

There are also a few vivid anecdotes that illustrate both the trust and the occasional tensions that can arise in a park like this. One reviewer recounts a problem with a shed lock being cut off and belongings left in a shed for months, only to be told by the management that they would help and "God bless you guys" in the same breath - an example of how, even when there's a hiccup, residents feel that the managers respond with care and support. The same thread of improvement - past problems acknowledged, with proactive steps taken under new management - recurs in several notes, reinforcing the impression that the park is a work in progress, gradually becoming more cohesive and resident-centered.

Overall, these opinions coalesce into a clear impression: Sundowners is a clean, affordable, and quiet option with strong leadership that many visitors feel makes a real difference in daily life. The park's appeal lies in its practicality - well-kept facilities, convenient location, and a price point that invites longer stays - tempered by occasional frustrations that come with any community of this size, including personality clashes, occasional logistical glitches, and security concerns in a non-gated setting. For many who've stayed or visited, the positives outweigh the negatives, and they express a willingness to return, with several saying they would definitely come back if they need a place to stay in the area again. The sentiment is that Sundowners is more than just a place to park your rig or home; it's a community that, with steady hands at the helm, is moving in a reliably positive direction.
