Houston Mesa

This used to be one of our favorite campgrounds but reservation tags are no longer used in the campsite. We drive a cabover camper and because there was not a tag when we went to town for dinner someone was in our site when we came back. Luckily it was a slow time and we just went to sleep in a vacant spot but could have been a mess if campground is full.

Great toilets, accessible water, nice tent sites and covered eating areas.

The only complaint we have is that the showers aren't open. We won't stay longer than one night or bring our grandkids until the showers are opened.

There’s room to improve the cleanliness of the bathrooms and the campsites. It’s convenient located close to town. Good place for first time campers!

1) Our campsite was not clean. Upon arrival, we picked up a plastic water bottle, a large plastic ice bag, and a myriad of small papers and trash. Ashes in the fire pit from the previous guests had not been removed either.
2) The bathroom was not clean. We did not see anyone clean or disinfect it during our two days there. I myself picked up alot of toilet paper on the floor, a plastic bottle, cleaned up toothpaste in the sink, and so on.
3) Your website advertises that showers are available at Houston Mesa. The showers were all marked "closed" while we were there. This is false advertising. We were very disappointed.
4) No one enforced the 10pm noise deadline. We like Campsite #21, but particularly on our second night, the group next to us was noisy until 1:30 am, which is not fair to us. They were laughing and talking loudly as if they were the only guests at the campground. I too had to ask them to turn down their music in the afternoon because it was quite loud. We're fine with ordinary noise and music and guests having a good time, but this behavior was disrespectful to their neighbors.
Conclusion: From our experiences and disappointment this time, we will not return to Houston Mesa. We were very happy to leave on Saturday, June 5, and again, we will not return.
