The Old Ranch House was headquarters
during the construction years, and if you listen closely, its walls will
tell you much about the history of the resort. Today it remains our management
center and business offices.
The office is open
every day of the week except major holidays. It is managed by a professional
staff with the help of volunteers from within the park. This staff handles
visitors to the resort as well as the business matters with the members.
The office is a bustling center of SKP hugs and Escapee smiles.
You can reach the office by phone at 951/767-9130, extension 5000 or by email.
The old ranch
house has been renovated. In addition to offices, it has a lounge and kitchen
which can be used for resort activities, or members can use it for personal
gatherings. Family gatherings requiring more space that what is available
in an RV are easily handled here, and sometimes the smell of a cooking turkey
or ham wafts into the office, much to the delight of the staff.
Out back is the patio. It has
picnic tables and a bocce ball court and commands a beautiful view of the
Temecula Valley and the Palomar Mountains. The patio is shaded by a stand
of old-growth pepper trees that keep it cool in the summer and pleasant
in the winter.
The renovated
garage is now used for the maintenance of the resort equipment and storage.
The penthouse above is storage for items earmarked for the yearly yard sale
held in the fall, and the area to the side is a staging area for the recycling
activities of the resort. The Resort General Manager and
staff have RV sites close by.
