We had gone to the Ennis Bluebonnet Festival and left as soon as the band finished. We arrived at the park at 10:10 and the gate was locked. No one had given us a code to get through the gate like most parks do. There are 2 trailers parked by the gate so we had to go knock on their doors and get someone to unlock the gate. We will not be staying there again. Don’t like to have to go knock on a door at night

No supervision. People parked wherever they wanted. Someone parked in my spot because someone was parked in their spot. Couldn’t get ahold of anyone to correct the problem. Bathroom was just ok.

Had a great Mother's Day weekend at a beautiful spot, #15, with a great view of the lake and decent privacy. Nice shaded shelter over the picnic table and pleasant breeze off the lake. No one was ever at the gate into the park so we just went through without checking in, No security. Grass was mowed on Saturday, which was very odd considering it was a very crowded park over the weekend. Couldn't have been mowed on a weekday before everyone came? The grandkids had a great time swimming at the beach area even though there was almost no sand and the weeds had not been mowed at all. The beach should be one of the first areas cleaned up and ready for summer. The "beach" was the most disappointing thing of the trip. But, overall, a nice quiet park and we enjoyed our trip.

It's a good location in the park. Quick access to the lake. Beautiful sunrises! Cons: there is a mulberry tree on the lot that attracted bees & wasps. The lot has a slight decline from the RV site to the picnic table. It made it a little hard for me as I have a disability with my walking. Overall we were very happy with this site in Mott Park. Respectful campers were around us which made it even better. We would definitely camp on the site again.

We enjoyed our lovely view of the lake.
Bathrooms needed to be cleaned and dead bugs removed!
Overall it was a very nice retreat, we will be back! 🙂

Squatters next to me lost their spot for the night…and in my spot the next day they moved their tent behind us and items in between the 2 site and moved their 8 dogs allowing them to get up under my travel trailer. Had to go to the front gate and complain cause they also hooked up to my electrical. 2 sherif officer came out and made them move… found out later they were homeless and didn’t have their spot scheduled correctly.
