You can’t help but giggle when you see the name of this resort, located in Salem. Some internet research indicates Illahee generally translates to "earth" or "country" in Indian folklore, but another translation specified "house by the water." However, the "hee hee" part does bring a smile to your face. One of the co-managers said the name is supposed to translate to "fun place to be."

Thank goodness the park paid for a good supply of signs posted from the freeway because my GPS didn’t recognize the street (and Mapquest.com doesn’t have it either). As of this date, the park had been open 1 year and 5 months (according to one of the co-managers).

We took our family this past Thanksgiving holiday to Cherokee KOA and it was just a huge mistake! Definitely not worth the $150 a night we paid for a kottage! The kottages are tiny… barely space for a couple. We were a family of 4 and we felt crammed the whole time! Plus it rained 2 of the 4 days we were there and the cabin had a leak in the kitchen that ruined most of our food supply. We reported it on the first day but it happened again on the second day… and there was never an offer to compensate the cost or even an apology for that matter.

Every year we ( along with 9 other couples) would go for seven trips to different campgrounds and campground resorts. Two years ago we went to Old Stage Campground and [...]

Californian RV Resort was the only decent RV park in the Lancaster/Palmdale area. It’s located off a busy highway. My GPS (Magellan) had trouble with this, just as another reviewer posted. Better yet, it appears that a good majority of the spots are "pull through" with some "back in" around the perimeter.

I had made a reservation, but it wasn’t really necessary, park had plenty of spots available. Since this was off season, they were ok with me arriving a day later than originally scheduled; they let me slice off one night without penalty.

This is a beautiful RV park out in the middle of nowhere! I stopped here because the RV parks in Sacramento and Stockton did not give me a “warm fuzzy” feeling so I kept on going and ended up here. The good news is… the RV park is just a short walk (3 tenths of [...]
