Champagne Lakes RV Resort

Nice little family getaway spot. Upon checking in, staff was very friendly. We had a decent sized spot next to a small creek. Full hook ups with cable tv. There’s a small store where you can pick up a few items and some food if needed. For the money spent I would definitely return. Peaceful and quiet.

Made the reservation months in advance. I received the invoice within minutes. I noticed that they charged extra for my 18 month old and 4 year old. After emailing 4 times and calling twice with no response over a month and half when we checked in I was still charged and was told that is the policy. Never in my 35 years of camping have I been charged per person and for kids under two. The owner does nickel and dime you for everything thing. Location was okay. Three really small ponds (would not consider them a lake). Only the upper lake appeared to have fish. Most of the resistants appear to live there or stay for a really long time. Not much to do for kids.

Well let me tell you about my experience at this rv resort and my encounter with this drunk woman who almost ran over my friend with her golf cart
Ok so I never been there before my friend took us here bcuz it was comic-​con and hotel we just not an option plus I haven’t went camping for a while so I was up for it
My friend told us we can even fish there so he paid our site in the morning before we went about our day later buying fishing equipment for four and other supplies (two six packs of coors light and beef jerky) and it was almost dark when we got there so I ask my friend who was here before if it was ok to fish here at night bcuz I didn’t wanna break any rules he said last time the lady said ok so there we were fishing for maybe 40mins it got dark I’m not that good a fisher honestly so I eventually just started getting the hang of it when this lady came with a loud voice saying there is no fishing at night flashing a flashlight in my face I said o wow I’m sorry I didn’t know (I didn’t see any signs posted but it was dark) so I apologized i instructed my friends start to pack it up so we did she drive away and turn back around with vengeance and starting screaming at us saying’ did you guys even pay for fishing and I was like wow I’m so sorry I didn’t know there was a fee and ask her if I can pay the fee and fish in the morning but then she took off really fast almost hitting my cousin who tragically was ran over by a truck by some loser who did it anger just like this woman almost did as we was leaving bcuz we didn’t want to stay there any more and rather pay 300 for a room she said no refund u were here all day even though we just paid and left that morning but that’s not why I called I asked her her name but she didn’t want to give it so I told her I was gonna tell everyone on Unilocal about this and she was like Drunk and saying go head do it I don’t care
I mean there’s no comparison to a truck and a golf cart but he still suffers from that tragic day his wife was also hit by this lowlife and she now lives in constant pain so yeah this really bothered him and he had a flashback and now is reminded again of that day

We’ve been looking for a park ‘less-​lively’ on the weekends in the Temecula area than where we usually stay. I’d read reviews that this park had been seriously renovated. It really has. We stayed in one of the upper levels. Full sun exposure (unlike the sites nestled in the valley) but also no satellite interference. In our area, parking was a bit tight for bigger, multi-​slide units with an accompanying vehicle, but doable by moving the provided picnic table to the back corner of the concrete pad. At least in our area, the park was as peaceful as we seek. Might not be near the lakes where tent campers are provided waterfront sites along the catch & release oases. Cell phone reception is 1 bar, but provided Tengo internet was good. This is a beautiful facility that should be a model for what the state should be doing in it’s parks. Don’t think 10÷10÷10 RV’s in a row like we gravitate towards. Think that concept hybridized with an oak studded state park. And full hook-​ups.

I cant understand why anyone would want to stay anywhere else here in Escondido Ca when they are rv’ng. We have been watching this resort for the last 10 years and this new owner has made this «little piece of heaven «the best rv resort here in North County as far as we are concern. Its so peaceful and beautiful I have to make this my home in my 2014 Montana 3900fb. The owner is very caring and understanding to what his customers want and need. The staff is awesome, very helpful. All of the people that work here make you feel like your family. The owner and women in the office make sure you are as happy as you need to be. The park for anyone that loves nature, you can camp by the lakes for a day or week and fish till you want. There are alot of wonderful full timers living here and it makes a wonderful community.
There’s a site and price for everyone, You get lakes to fish in, have a picnic lunch, or just sit and read a good book. as you can tell we love it here and plan on staying for a long time. dont know anything about the laundry rooms or pool because I havent make it there to check it out. But i would be honest to say I bet they are in top shape, because this owner makes sure he is on site all the time keeping this paradise in tip top shape. Come and check this place out and see for your self.
If I could make any suggestions to the owner of this beautiful resort, i would suggest putting the kids play area away from the lake or putting a fence around it as it is close to the water. also would like to see a horse shoe pit put in somewhere if its not already there.
thanks so much for reading my post and I hope it makes you rethink to come out here and spend some time checking this beautiful place out.
thanks,
Alice n Steve Myers
fulltimers living out dream out.

Parents stayed here for a couple months. Clean facilities, friendly staff, quick to respond to any issues. Nice setting around the lake/​ponds and pretty quiet all around. Not too many long term rentals and lots of small books for RVs so you aren’t all in a row but do have concrete slabs for each area.
Downside, no good community meeting place to meet the neighbors.

Nations highest propane 4.10 per gallon. This is so far beyond gouging as to be laughable. they charge addotional for all credit and debit cards

I almost don’t want to leave a good review and have other people discover this hidden gem.
We were looking for a place to park our fifth wheel for a few months. Most places in the area were super crowded with very little scenery. Then we came to Champagne Lakes. So nice!
The spaces are roomy so you have plenty of spots for seating outside of your rig. There are three lakes with catch and release fishing. Lots of ducks and other wildlife are everywhere. There’s a pool, a cute little market/​deli, washing machines, a dog run and full hookups with free cable included.
The staff was super friendly and willing to work with us on which space we preferred and the prices were inexpensive. The people we met were really nice, either stopping to have a quick chat or waving as we drove through.
I can’t wait to settle in and update this to 5 stars! I’m positive we have found our own little piece of heaven right here in Escondido.
Who’da thunk it? Lol.

We were traveling and headed to Arizona from washington when we stopped here to rest. We haven’t left. It’s been almost a month now and don’t plan on leaving anytime soon. Is it overpriced? Well sure a little but believe me we stayed in a lot of Rv parks the last few months traveling. You get what you pay for. It’s clean, friendly, beautiful view, swimming, fishing, laundry, mail, store etc. The only thing that bugs me is no free wi fi, you have to pay. Most, if not all Rv parks have free wifi. But this place is 50 acres mind you. So maybe it’s not an option, not sure. When you wake up to a view like this every morning, how can you be in a bad mood?

Stayed here Labor day weekend w our travel trailer while visiting our son who lives 5 miles away. Even though its visible from Hwy15, it was extremely quiet at night. Very clean and helpful staff. Will definitely be returning!

I only come here for the fishing, and now that the place is getting a big makeover, I will come back with my daughter for some camping.
Nice looking place and the guy at the store is very nice indeed. Never caught anything at the lakes, but I keep trying until I do. I like the catch and release only policy and have seen some big fish there. Other county lakes have no rules or regs so people keep coming and pulling fish out until it’s dry. Here you have a chance to catch some big fish without the worry of them not being there the next time.
One thing I would like to see happen is for them to go through and pull out the floating vegetation. My hook gets stuck sometimes and can be a pain.
All in all, a great place to fish and relaxing.

An RV resort, with a beautiful lake scenery, great pricing, a pool and little food mart all in one? I’m down!
Friendly staff and hidden from the world, this rv resort is a great way to spend a weekend or 2 for a little relaxation!

We tried this place as a test run for our new RV. They are in the process of adding another section of hookup sites and renovating one of the older areas.
Pros– Nice cement pad for the rv, clean benches included, clean bathrooms, good power, cable included, reasonably priced, quiet, no hassles, fires ok.
Cons– Some dilapidated rigs of the permanent residents, store is not open, worn out playground equipment and not a whole lot to do for kids other than riding bikes and fishing. The pool looked nice and clean but wasn’t great weather.
Overall, we had a nice time. They appear to be investing some money into the property for improvements. The place has great potential to be more of a destination than a pass through. I would stay here again.

Very quiet park off the freeway. I’ve driven by it for years now and never knew it was there. Looks like a small family run operation. Prices seemed in line with what I’ve paid elsewhere for my 27′ travel trailer. However, prices here included cable and phone and a cement pad.
Initially the spot assigned to us was already taken by another camper, but they were quick to send Marshall out to help us scout out another campsite. They found us another site very quickly on Vista Mesa. As the name implies, the view was breathtaking.
Marshall was EXTREMELY helpful in helping this new RV’er get his coach backed into a spot. When we realized we forgot a grill and firewood, Marshall found a grill we could borrow (mind you it was 5pm, dinnertime, and my in laws had just dropped by to meet us for dinner). Marshall then made sure we had charcoal, lighter fluid, and wood. Rather than telling us we could pickup these staples at the store, he made the trip himself and deliverd them to us allowing us to setup camp.
As another reviewer pointed out, the grounds do have a rustic feel with plenty of trees. Up at Vista Mesa there are fewer trees that high up, so a little less shade, but the view certainly compensates for that.
I hope to return in the near future.
