Would you like to win a free RV? Marble Quarry has teamed with California Camping and Cross Roads RV, to give away a free RV at the California State Fair. To enter the drawing, simple ask for a "scratcher" at our front desk. In addition to numerous other prizes, you could be the lucky owner of the RV.


We have a new cabin to offer you to rent. It was just delivered this week, and will be in among our other cabins, within a week or so. Very pretty!


Ralph Squire, Owner, now has his daughter, Esther Osborne, managing the park. Esther's son, Colby, is working in the maintenance department.  Esther's daughter, Janine, and husband, Terry, will soon be working here, also. Be sure to say "Hi". They want to meet you!
