Thousand Trails Lake Gaston

Excellent staff, and super friendly. My first site was so unlevel that my sewer hose would have to run uphill. My front to back had a 16"downhill difference. But they gave me a better site.

Very well laid out campground. The staff was friendly and accommodating. We have been here twice in the Spring and Fall, and enjoyed the quiet shoulder seasons. The pool is clean and adequate size. The views of the lake are amazing.

First time here, not great at communicating! Don’t have site that we reserved, and then had 2 move to 2 different sites. Reserved full hookups and only for water and electricity. Definitely will be reconsidering using thousand trails.

Out of the 15 or so Thousand Trails campgrounds we’ve visited, this one has been our absolute favorite so far! It’s beautifully maintained, and the lake views are incredible. We were greeted by Jim, who was nothing short of amazing—he made us feel truly welcome and, most of all, well taken care of. Talk about hospitality!
There’s also a Trading Post with a great little store and an awesome staff. Peggy made us a delicious burger—be sure to try the Gaston Burger; we were seriously impressed! We cannot rave enough!
This Thousand Trails location will definitely stay on our list for future travels.

Rosemary is absolutely wonderful. The rest of the staff are hit or miss.

Very few sites have sewer, and even fewer are open to transients. We will see how this change to assigned sites goes.

They have their own honey wagon but you have to sign up ahead of time and pay a fee. I cannot speak for all parks, but every one I've been to provided free honey wagon service from their own trucks.

The park itself is Years behind in maintenance but they keep increasing the price for the annuals (who can only stay April through October). They also doubled the fee for boat slips.

They do decorate for the holidays which is great, and the store is one of the bigger ones I've seen with some neat stuff.

The people we met there were great, but even they've said they are thinking about canceling their annual sites/ not stopping by in the future.

We might stop for a day or two on the way by, but I don't believe we will bother staying longer.
