This is the notorious Preston Castle which was a reform school that closed in 1960. If not for the efforts of the Preston Castle Foundation the State of California would have had it torn down.

Spent a night locked in this abandoned and haunted reformatory with my family and some ghost hunters. We held a seance, took EVPs, and stumbled around in the dark. There were bats and owls flying up and down the pitch black halls. We heard voices coming and had flashlights and other electronic equipment go haywire. Their ghost tours are on hold while repairs are made to the building last time I checked.
Camanche lake is very beautiful and scenic place. One of favorite place for camping in the summer or just a day trip for a swim in the lake or fishing.
Remnants of what were once billboard ads on the side of what looks like a former food store in Ione California.

We never ate there. Room clean. Staff very nice. When 2 guests are in a room there should be 2 pillows each. There should be more coffee available. Front desk should be able to have more. Especially early birds that can’t get coffee until 6:30. But we love staying there close to family.
