WHAT THEY'RE SAYING ABOUT US!

“Sunburns, long car rides, and tangled lines-ah, the joys of a family fishing trip. As much as children love to catch fish, though, their minds have a tendency to wander, and trying to keep a rod in their hands for more than an hour may start to feel like hounding them to do their homework. That's no fun for anyone. The best solution: Put them on water with fast fishing action, and make sure there are plenty of other activities nearby. Edgewater Resort meets those criteria, where you and your family will have a blast. After a week the only thing the kids will be whining about is wanting to stay longer.”~ Jack Larson, Field & Stream, July 2004

“On the dock in front of our cabin, two otters were playing tag, and it was hard to say just who was after whom. Just beyond, the lake stretched for miles, calm and clean, not a boat in sight. Off in the distance, a few puffy cumulus clouds floated over the Cache Creek Ridge, tinged with the dawn’s pink. What a beautiful moment, I remember thinking, when right then, just 40 feet away, a huge bass jumped and landed with a splash, like somebody had dropped a bowling ball out of the sky. The reality was that right in front of me, right to left, from the Narrows through Soda Bay to Clear Lake State Park, there were probably more big bass, 5-pounders and up, than any similar stretch of water in the Western United States.” ~ Tom Stienstra, Outdoor Columnist, San Francisco Chronicle, Sunday, May 18, 2003.

“My stay harkened my thoughts back to a childhood spent at this destination-without all the rough and tumble aspects which used to revolve around this place when it was a “guts and fish scales” campground. The girls were refreshing friendly and have made this camp a first class place to recommend in my writing. As I took my children there when they were little, I will also return with my grandchildren.” ~ Frank Medicine Wolf Springer, May 2003

“California’s Edgewater Resort & RV Park doesn’t have a typical clientele. Sure, families looking to get away have sought this Lake Country hot spot for years, even before co-owners Sandra West and Lora Tell burst onto the scene in 1996 with a plan to restore the property to its former glory. Five years later, visitors are as diverse as the areas offerings, thanks to the resort’s something-for-everyone philosophy.” ~Southwest RV Traveler, 2001
