Koreshan State Historic Site
We had planned on camping here but during the winter months the sites are reserved well ahead of time. We decided to visit the settlement area anyway. The Koreshan Unity Settlement was a utopian religious village founded in 1894. The population grew to about 200 people but it eventually failed because, as is the practice in many of these communities, the members did not marry or have children.
The parking lot is close to the settlement. There are handicapped spaces and a couple of larger ones for RVs. A path leads to a handicapped bathroom which we didn't check out. The main paths are hard packed shell and sand, easy to roll along. The main buildings have good ramps. The doors are opened to the buildings and you can view the interiors through plexiglass with some glare off of the plastic. There’s a small museum with easy to view exhibits and a video in the building which housed the dining hall. Koreshan Park
