The Narrows Family Resort - Upper Lake, California

My wife and I have been staying at the Narrows for the past four years, twice a year. The resort is amazing and Craig and Angie the owners are continually upgrading the resort. The fishing is fantastic. The views are amazing and we look forward to coming back every year. What we like is that there is no day use allowed so there are no people coming and going all the time. Craig and Angie run a tight ship at the resort which we appreciate. Saying that they still have a little give-and-take but want to protect their property. I truly appreciate that.

We've been coming to the Narrows on and off for nearly 3 decades. Angie, Craig, and the family, have done an incredible job upgrading the place, but even more than that they've created an experience for guests that is truly incredible. It's a safe, clean, family friendly environment. A place your children can catch their first fish, learn to kayak, play safely under the stars. It's a place where the grown-ups can create beautiful memories, unwind from the stresses of life, and become grounded in what matters most. We consider this place like going glamping and we look forward to going back each year. Honestly, this is one of my favorite places on earth and I know that my family feels the same. To Angie and Craig, thank you, for all you do and for being a part of so many of our memories.

Angie and Craig have done a remarkable job in creating a family friendly safe environment. The new offerings in the coffee shop are a fantastic addition. Facilities are well kept, clean. The beach has been greatly improved and the fishing was great. Already rebooked for next year.

If you’re looking for the perfect place to take your family for a weekend getaway, look no further! The Narrows Family Resort is super family oriented - safe, clean, and accommodating. Whether you’re staying in a trailer, yurt, or cabin, you’re just a few steps away from the lake. Grab your fishing pole, kayak, swimsuit, or tube - the lake is perfect for all kinds of activities. While the water is a little on the cold side, it’s super refreshing!

Don’t have a kayak? No problem! Stop by their store to rent one of their boats for a few hours of fun on their no-wake lake. While you’re there, don’t forget to grab some Narrows paraphernalia and something yummy from their mini-cafe.

The hosts at the Narrows are super kind and treat their guests (human and animal) with kindness and top-notch hospitality. We look forward to our stay there every year =]

We go as a family every year at same time. We have a group that is growing each year. I enjoy seeing the new things Angie and Craig have done to the campground. Just when I think it can’t get any better. They love what they are doing and it shows. We have a great time camping every year. Memories made each time.

Our favorite place to camp or stay. Best family spot around. It's hard to describe how much we enjoy staying at the Narrows. Our kids look forward to it all year, and we do too. The lake is just absolutely gorgeous, and the place is so well kept and safe. Check it out for sure.

The epitomy of relaxation,regrouping and good for the soul,mind and body! I highly recommend this family owned experience. In years past l have stayed in a cabin. The yurts are much preferred by me. They are new to these new owners. October is also much preferred over summer months. Less people and commotion and the coffee shop remains open❤️We will be back!

The lake is beautiful and in the hands of someone else it would be a spectacular location to rent and stay. They had the opportunity to make this such an enjoyable, beautiful, well run spot but they are definitely falling short.
The cabins are dirty and dusty and do not seem cleaned or laundered regularly. The pillows themselves were brown and yellow under only one thin pillow case. And the bedding is ugly and definitely does not look clean and neat. When spending $200 a night I hope I am paying for a clean place to stay, even old cabins can be clean. They offer no restrooms or showers to the people staying outside of your cabin. They will not let more than 6 people stay in a campsite (including little kids) and even if your trailer sleeps more. We've been going there for years because of the convince for our kids and the fun they have on the lake, but it gets worse every time we go and it will probably be our last unless things change.
The trailer parking spots are small and squeezed together and all our camping neighbors were complaining about it. The upkeep or "mended" fixes around the property is poorly done. They do NOT have great customer service, and they do not seem like they are trying to run a great business, it seems like they bought it for their family to live at and the guests are an after thought.
Disappointing when so many people can see so much potential for a cool location.
