Nice "get ready" stop before starting up either the Grapevine on I-5 or the Tehachapi Pass on 58 East.
We stayed there last night (3/16/06) and wifi was excellent. They said wifi does not reach every site in the park, so you have to request a site that is wifi friendly when you reserve or check in. We stayed in Site 135. They honor Good Sam discount with a credit card, but if you've stayed there before (we have. many times) there is a flat $4.00 discount off their $33 per night rate for repeat customers if you pay with cash or check.
We picked about a dozen and a half delicious tree-ripe oranges -- orange picking devices atop a long pole are available for your use at the office, but Tom was tall enough to get the job done without bothering with the pole. They encourange guests to pick the ripe oranges because windfall oranges attract ants. (With the number of guests picking last night, ants don't stand a chance!) They have increased the size of the park and now have 185 sites, many with land line available. Each site has at least two mature orange trees on either side. It's long been one of our favorite stops.
