Jim Hogg Park

One of our favorite parks! Just wished they had full hookups. But if they had, it probably would be impossible to get a site. :)

I have been visiting Jim Hogg park on Georgetown Lake for years and have never been greeted by such hostility by the "hosts". After a 33hour, 1200 mile drive, I arrived three hours before check in time. I was acausted by the "hosts" and told that I had to leave the park until check in time, 3pm and if I did not leave the park they would call the police. I am a harmless 68 year old. I just wanted to park in the "overflow parking" lot and get some rest until I could move into my reserved space at 3pm. After this harrasment, I drove to the gate to explain my situation and that I had a two week reservation that began in three hours. The "greeter" at the gate radioed the "host" and said "did you tell a person in a Shasta to leave the park?, he isn't leaving and told the "host" to go ahead and call the police". Call the police on a visitor with a paid reservation because he arrived three hours early? This is rediculous and I will not be returning to Jim Hogg park as long as these "hosts" are volunteering there.

Lovely spot, well kept and we will be back again for sure!

We have camped here since 2011. Great park & close to grocery stores.

Spaces were great, very roomy. Palace theatre was great.

This is a very nice park. We found making reservations and the check in process to be quite easy and accommodating. The spaces between the rv’s offer privacy at most sites, some more than others. We were not camped on the reservoir, but in one of the upper sites, which was great. Lots of places to walk your dog. Being self contained, we did not visit the rest rooms, so have no opinion on those. It’s close enough to Georgetown to experience some very nice restaurants.

Each time we’ve stayed at Jim Hogg, it’s been an excellent experience. The hosts are always friendly, helpful, and available. The campers this time were very quiet especially it being New Years Eve and day…no fireworks or kids running around making mischief.
It was truly a wonderful experience once again.

The campground was clean and well kept. We arrived Jan. 1 so there was some confusion with access codes and the dumpsters were well used but the camp hosts did an excellent job of keeping the mess under control. Campsites are large and the pavilion/picnic table was very nice but keep in mind that the ground is rocky in places. There were a lot of deer in the campgrounds at night and a lot of campers walking in the mornings. An added bonus is that there is a nice grocery store just a little bit outside the campground. It's definitely a peaceful place to stay.

Disappointing that the staff fee booth staff is now volunteers and they can't do anything. We have worked at a USACE park for over 10 years and every one around us has tried volunteer for both cleaning bathrooms and fee booth and it doesn't work.

Our site was extremely sloped (couldn't tell that in the pictures). That would be nice to include that in your description of the site.
