Reviews
I have visited the Ice House Resort many times, the service was great! Friendly people in the bar, in the cafe, in the store, and at the campgrounds. They tend to get very busy and sometimes don't have the time to hang out and chit chat, but they sure are awesome with the time you do get with them. We'll continue to stop at the Resort every time we are in the Crystal Basin Recreation Area.
Years ago I took a summer job at a pack station/rustic resort up in Trinity County. This place has the same vibe as the old Trinity Alps Resort. Recently we reconned the crystal basin the week before, had stopped at the store for a drink and snacks, and found the place quite suitable to our needs. We just returned from two days trailering at the Ice House Resort, and found the management to be more helpful than I can say. Yes, the store isn't much, but it has what you'll need. Yes it's a little rustic,, but that's part of the char, Yes, being the off season, they're they're not overstaffed, but they'll do what they can to be helpful. Yes, there are things that could be fixed, but this is snow country where stuff breaks under snow loads. This is certainly not a high end resort, but we loved our stay there, and we look forward to going back again, and soon.
You have to understand what you're getting by doing business with this place. First, if you're up in the Crystal Basin and you didn't go fully prepared then that's your fault. BUT, lucky for you, there's this little store and the attached restaurant/bar that might have what you need to bail you out. Yes, obviously you're going to pay more than you would at Walmart in Sacramento, but so what? That's just how the world works, welcome to it. If you're out in the middle of the forest and want a beer, stop by the bar. Need a 6 pack? Grab one at the store. If you're expecting low prices and a vast selection of everything, then you're just not being realistic and you'll be disappointed. If you want to save a bunch of time and gas and avoid the trip all the way down to Pollock Pines then this place is perfect for that.
Stopped in for breakfast on a Saturday - service is amazingly friendly. Order came up super fast and food was great. Justine, Kristen, and Julie rock it. Love it here -- we'll be back!
The bar, restaurant and store are amazing. Great place to bring your RV. Great place to stay before going on Jeepers Jamboree.
