Wilderness Lakes RV Resort, Menifee, California

     We arrived at Wilderness Lakes on a rainy Sunday morning.  We found one of the last two available 50 amp sites.  The campground has semi-paved roads with gravel sites.  About one-third of the sites are 50 amp and the rest are 30, annuals, or cabins.  We also found that the campground is subject to flooding when it rains, we had the good fortune to pick a site that didn't flood.  There are canals in the park which helped with the flooding issues during the rain.  Most of the sites are large enough to spread out a bit. All the facilities that you would expect from a Thousand Trails campground are here.  The family lodge serves meals on weekends and has a nice pool (closed during our stay)  The adult lodge seems like several buildings pushed together to form one.  The adult pool and hot tub are very nice.  The tennis and pickleball courts are shared with a maze of confusing overlapping lines drawing out two of the pickleball courts that overlap the tennis court.  The surface of the court is cracked and water puddles when it rains.  Fortunately, we had enough sunny mornings to play for a couple hours almost every day here.  Overall, the park was nice enough, just a bit wore down.  I'm sure that we will revisit in the future.

       While we were here in less than perfect weather and didn't explore the area much, we did get some needed changes done to the coach.  First I added two dedicated 20 amp circuits to the living room.  (all the receptacles shared the same circuit)  Then we purchased a couple of space heaters to run on cooler nights to limit the amount of time the gas furnace needed to kick on.  Then we replaced the washer/dryer taking up cabinet space in the bedroom with a compact freezer.  The freezer being smaller than the washer/dryer allowed me room to build shelves above and beside it.  We also replaced our microwave which had lost its convection function due to a lightning strike while camping in Kentucky.
