Nice quiet stay. Close to willis for dining. No cell phone coverage so it's a great place to unplug and relax in nature.

I never knew such a quiet place existed on Lake Conroe. Being in the forest, there was shade all day long which helps in 100+ temps. If you’re looking for slow paced peace and quiet close to Houston, this is it.

The campsite was very nice, although other campers cut through it more than once to access the walking path. It is right next to the bathroom, so only a short walk. The bathrooms are very stuffy. There is a tent pad at this site, but it needs some leveling done because it is sloped and uneven. When the camp host came to bring us our parking pass, she launched into a politically charged conversation within the first few minutes of talking to her. I found it to be highly inappropriate, as she wrongly assumed we had the same beliefs as her. Representing Forest Service property, I felt she should not be throwing her views out to campers. I sure didn't want to hear that mess, but there was no polite way to let her know we didn't agree. I felt like saying something would have made it uncomfortable for us to stay there.
