Our visit to the Park was extremely relaxing and enjoyable. The Parks upkeep and new facilities (restrooms and showers) along with their upkeep and the upkeep of the facility grounds has made it a pleasure to camp in the Park. The only part of the Park that I would suggest needs work on is the asphalt roads and RV sites.

We had sites 1 & 2, which were separated from the rest of the campsites which we loved. Site were clean, our only complaint would be the grass needed to be mowed a little more. The bathrooms were clean with plenty of toilet paper. Overall a great weekend.

Check in was very easy and Gate attend was very prepared and friendly. Camp site was recently mowed and table area was clean. There was a few spider webs around, but that is just part of camping. Access to the water was easy and cool. Dump site was equipped with a waste out hose and it had both ends attached. Overall everything was great including the outdoor cooking and evening fire pit. Hight recommend, but hope it doesn't over book, and I can't get back in.

I am a new campers RV owner and I've stayed at Lake Bardwell Mott Park several times. It's a great park. The entire staff and volunteers here are great. However, there is one who stands out -Gene Herd. He works hard to ensure everything on the grounds is taken care of and takes pride in everything thing he does. He has graciously shared his knowledge about RVs and camping. He and his wife have been excellent hosts. Because of him and the wonderful other volunteers I feel safe and it's like my second home. Thanks to all of you for all you do!

Full time nomad review. This is one of my favorite winter spots. The sites are close together, but during winter people normally give each other space here. This site is close to the water and restrooms, which are clean. This site also has a length limit which restricts big rigs. Easy to get level. Excellent service for remote work. The camp hosts are friendly and drive around regularly. The park is close to H-E-B, Walmart, Planet Fitness and Buc-ce’s, and plenty of options for dining out!
