Lavonia

There seem to be several first come first serve sites that are vacant when we get there and are not used while we are there. We are wondering how to get one of those sites. On our recent stay the bathrooms didn’t seem to be as clean as previous times when we stayed there.

I give it 3 stars for the location and nightly cost. It is located on a beautiful lake and the park itself is beautiful with large trees. HOWEVER. Maintenance of the park gets one star. Roads are in much need of maintenance as are many of the sites which are unusable with grass growing through the blacktop. Most sites are extremely sloped. We were there late September and will go again as this park has sewer hookup. Your other option is East Fork a few miles down the road having 50 AMP but no sewer hook ups. East Fork sites are mostly level and are also on a lake.

Lavonia is a convenient park close to Dallas, with good access to the lake. All campsites are spaced far enough apart to allow privacy, have full hookups, and covered picnic tables. Cons: all sites pads are very unlevel and deteriorating. There is sparse shade.

Sorry infrastructure. Sites dangerously unlevel. Road needs work. facilities worn out. Grass never cut.

Not well maintained.

This park could be so much better if just a few basics were covered. If you plan on camping here, bring a weed eater so your site doesn't have thousands of weeds blocking your view of the beautiful lake. Also, be aware that the electric outlets only support 24 watts - so you have to limit what you are using at one time. If you are looking for large campsites, this is the place to go - the views are beautiful! And you can have a fire at your site :)

Boat ramp was not accessable due to water level but was open. I'm handicapped and need a ramp. Online gave me FF options so I couldn't see what campsites were actually available. Some spaces were actually available for the days we were there unoccupied but had no choice but to take what attendent said was available. We go there often because it's close and convenient but this was actually the worse experience we have ever had.

Hate to say this but most RV sites are very unlevel, so bring plenty of level boards or other devices. Many sites are shut down for elect. or water problems. It has been like this almost year, why they won't them is big puzzel. Sure would help us all if they did. Maybe need New Manager of park. Just saying!!!
Site I had was pretty level one of FEW. Bathrooms are GREAT!!
Hope they post this, have heard bad reviews somehow get lost, we'll see.

It is a very quiet and beautiful place to camp with family and enjoy the sunsets while walking and listening to birds and the wind.

As always, had a excellent time.
