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!

Crew and rangers are extremely friendly, and helpful. I left my phone at the campsite picnic table and they retrieved and held it for me until I could return. Also were available on site most of the day and campground was extremely clean and well maintained. We will be back soon.

It was beautiful and had plenty of room to walk and the lake was beautiful.
Need more trash cans though.

Well kept. Nice site. I wish the government would provide more funding so roads and campsites could be in better condition.
