Took the family for a week, we hd 3 sites and 4 different families on and off through out the week. Fantastic time and will be going back. The hosts were very nice and also helped to move one of the sites so it was a bit closer to the other 2. Highly recommend. The facilities are clean and WELL maintained and the lake is fantastic to fish in.

We were very impressed with the Staff monitoring the security and wellness. The trails and RV spots were very clean and maintained. This is now one of our favorite spots to go!

We love this park. In my mind, it is the Park Hosts that make it what it is. Friendly and accommodating. They seem to live to support the park and it's guests. Great place to get away from the madness of COVID and isolate in the woods. We will be back.

The place is beautiful and so close to Houston. The facilities are great. Mobile phone connectivity was not bad. The only negative thing was that restrooms were not as clean as other camping sites we experienced in Texas. Otherwise I would rate the place as excellent.

I've been coming to this park for all my life (30 years). It looks better than it has in years! The park hosts have really put in a lot of time and hard work to recover from the drought and pine beetle infestation of years past. Its obviously still in need of funding, but the park is really looking loved again. 💗
