Park Delta Bay - Sacramento County

It's very cool to be able to do what you like to do before you leave this earth

We have lived at Park Delta Bay, owned by the Marina for the last year and a half. The staff has all been kind and easy to interact with, special shout out to Candice and Jimmy. Our neighbors have been incredible people we are thankful to know… and ultimately the only reason we remained. The owner of Park Delta Bay and the Marina, Eric is the singular problem with the resort. On holiday weekends, and nearly every summer weekend, when he fills the back row of the east side of the park with campers, the power grid cannot keep up and there are constant blackouts. When asked to turn the power back on, the owner has refused. On 4th of July weekend, 2022 he went so far as to put a lock and key on the breakers to prevent them being flipped back on. On Labor Day weekend, when Sacramento county was setting record heatwaves and our temperature was 110°, the power went out again and Eric refused to turn it back on. When he was confronted by myself and two neighbors about why he hadn’t upgraded his system to support the amount of people he had on it he closed shop and locked himself behind the Marinas doors and I called the police as a last resort to restore power. Additionally our water quality is terrible. If it’s not yellow or brown (even with our filters), it smells so strongly of bleach that it will scorch your throat. This has been going on the entirety of the year and a half we have lived here. Up until a month or so ago we had two functioning washers for the entire park and three dryers. The washers were $1.50 a load and the dryers were free. Of the two washers one didn’t really get your clothes clean and the other left them soaking wet, so you had to run the dryer two or three times to get your clothes dry. Eric finally replaced them in October, but is now charging $2 per load of wash and $1 to dry. There is a giant compost pile that is Eric’s worm farm running along the entire southern edge of the eastern side of the park. The flies this year have been in the thousands. We set out fly traps and they fill within a day, there’s always dozens congregating outside our doors. When the breeze blows up from the south you get the smell of manure and compost. The leech field had a loose cover that could easily be moved to expose the septic waste. The hole was large enough for a grown individual to fall in to. It remained uncovered from June until October, while Eric was managing because Candice was on leave. Basically if anything is wrong in the park it’s because Candice isn’t there to make sure it’s properly taken care of. There are two dumpsters and one recycling bin for the entire park which fill up long before the week is over. The trees overhanging the trailers are not maintained and pose a risk with the high winds we receive out here. Earlier this year a tree did fall onto one of our neighbors trailers, tearing a hole in her roof. Parts of the park are poorly kept, specifically around the “Tiny Home” side you can see some rundown, unoccupied units. For short stays, Park Delta Bay might be enjoyable, so long as you aren’t coming on one of those packed weekends where the power is out constantly. But to any who do consider moving here or visiting, be forewarned about the ownership, and bring plenty of bottled water to drink and wash with. When it comes time for you to move out, know that Eric likely won’t prorate your monthly rate, even if you give him a thirty day notice, like he did to us. I encourage you, talk to the long-term residents, especially those who live on the east side of the park. I also encourage anyone who visits or resides to download the Sacramento 311 app and use it. You can submit pictures through it and the county is swift to respond. You have so many rights as a tenant. Got a complaint about the park? Get a complaint forum from the office in order to have a paper trail to protect yourself should retaliation be attempted. Good luck to any who come, and blessings to those we leave behind. You know who you are.

Pros: very friendly neighbors, lots of shade, located right on the river with some beautiful views, friendly staff.Cons: horrible management. The laundry facility is unusable as nearly all of the machines are broken and have been for months; even the ones that do “work” don’t get your clothes clean and you’ll likely have to wring your clothes before putting in one of the barely working dryers. Do not come on busy weekends as the power will likely go out for most of the day (especially bad on hot days). They were told long ago by PG&E to update their system but that hasn’t happened. Wifi doesn’t work. Water quality is terrible. It’s either cloudy and brownish/yellowish or it’s more clear but smells strongly of bleach (and that’s after running it through multiple filters). As I write this the water has been all day since they shut off the water to fix a leak in the main water line; that would have been fine if they’d given any kind of notice! But as usual there was none. The worst part is that if you bring any of these issues up with the owner he just plays d as if there’s nothing he can do about it. If this place had just halfway-competent management I’d give it a 4 star but that just isn’t the case.

We had a great time at this park. The park host was very welcoming and attentive. Our kids had a blast at the pool, water, and grass area. We will definitely be back.
