Alpine Springs RV Park

Management & Maintenance were very nice Great Rate absolutely Loved this place It was very clean ,quiet. With a Great View I would love to live here Full Time I will definitely be back soon. Great Place

Lynn at the front desk was friendly and professional. We checked in ma war tah rv park, unhooked our toad, and then Josh escorted us to Alpine Springs up the road. The park is gated, and security drives through on and off throughout the day and night. The spots aren't paved, but we didn't mind because we were looking for a place to hook up for one night on our way to Newport Dunes. There aren't any amenities, but we had water and electric hookups (no sewer but they have a pay dump station) We were in the first row past the old clubhouse (closed), and it was quiet and clean, a great area to walk the dog, because there was not a lot of traffic. They have 24-hour shuttle service to the casino and outlet mall. However, we took a short drive to Viejas Outlet Mall to walk around and stretch our legs. We would definitely stay here again on our way to the California Coast. It was nice to take a good chunk of our drive time out of the equation and escape the Arizona heat.

Alpine is not for the faint hearted RVers. To go here you gotta have grit, and an RV under 30, dare I say 25 feet to safely navigate the roads. The roads themselves need to be repaved and marked, the groundhog or gopher issue needs to be addressed, and for heaven's sake, a reevaluation of where to put speedbumps needs to be addressed, because at the bottom curve of a hill it can be a scraping issue for longer RVs (again, strongly suggest smaller vehicles here). All the basic services worked, but we teetered on a cliff we werent comfortable disengaging our hauling vehicle from, and there were so many holes in the ground from whatever animal is digging there it looked like swiss cheese. On Alpine, the buildings are derelict and actively decaying. I'm unhappy to suggest Ma Tar Awa campground as an accomplice in being ill placed in Alpine Springs RV, but we expected their grounds which look more hospitable for large RVs. Either they do not pay attention to these grounds and have let them go to waste unknowingly, or they choose to invest upkeep somewhere else, because this park is more for small RV and tents, and that is embellishing and gratuitous. This park needs a makeover, and I would not in good conscious suggest this to anyone until the grounds have been better managed and carefully reviewed before a large RV is escorted here. We scheduled a week - and left after two nights for better accomodations elsewhere with no refund (per management we had a discount and didnt qualify for any kind of refund) as we extracated ourselves to keep any further damages from our RV. Go in with Ant Spray too - in the short time we were there, ants built a nest surrounding our water hose and filter which now need to be replaced. I wish we had a better review, but we do not. This was a low point in our adventure as RV fulltimers.

Made reservation was not told to be there by 5:30. Got there. No one was there. Security told us to go back. After an 8-hour drive. That was the least thing that we wanted to do. Everything is not kept up and you wonder if it's secure. They really should double their price and hire someone to take care of the grounds and fix everything that doesn't work. Including put in at least some level of road wide enough to handle rakes without huge potholes. It's a beautiful area. It's a shame it's not taking care of Kelly

Made reservations at the much nicer Ma Tar Wa park. When we checked in we were told we had a space at Alpine Springs across the road and a mile away. Very rustic park abandoned years ago. Gave 2 stars because the check in lady apologized and said we could get a refund if we wanted to leave. Left a day early. Update: In checking out we were informed that the advertised park, Ma Tar Wa, is permanently full of full-timers with a long waiting list. If you think you are getting this park, think again. You will be sent to the closed and decrepit multi-level Alpine Springs dirt lot, which does have full hook-ups if you don't mind their abandoned look. Our sewer inlet lacked a cover and was located directly under the fresh water faucet. I would find other accommodations. Viejas Casino should be ashamed to have this as their RV park.
