Because of one person going to the pool and not following the rules, the butt hurt management couldn't handle an irrate guest and decided to punish all of the local county residents and closed access to the pool for those who wish to visit for the day.

Because of one person going to the pool and not following the rules, the butt hurt management couldn't handle an irrate guest and decided to punish all of the local county residents and closed access to the pool for those who wish to visit for the day. One man's actions to these people warrants punishment to all people. So now the pool is only available to those who wish to camp there only. Problem is, they are there for the lake. The pool doesn't even get used by the campers. They are there for the lake. To turn down revenue and punishment everyone for the actions of one person is wrong for both sides. This decision affects both sides, consumer and business. Whoever made the decision to go forward with the closure of the pool to the public has proven that local community means nothing, along with the profit of the business. I have had 2 events at this location. BIG EVENTS. Every year it would be repeated. But as a local resident, they will not get any of our business any longer, and the many people and businesses I know will not be involved with this place any longer. I support local businesses and the community and was lead to believe that this place also supported locals and businesses, but have been shown otherwise. It's unfortunate, this place was a favorite place for me, family, friends and co-workers. Sucks they ruined that.

We had a wonderful time as a family swimming in the public pool they offer. The pool was clean, it was cool and very refreshing in this summers heat!! They had chairs for in the sun, as well as chairs In the shade. I can't say anything about the RV sites cause we didn't visit there. Only the pool and the splash pad; Which works..... sometimes. It's $10 per person for a day pass. You get your arm b... We had a wonderful time as a family swimming in the public pool they offer.

Last week was our first time taking our boat to Lake Livingston. Ruby helped us all through our reservation process to sharing her knowledge of the area. Our Cabin (cabin #1)was exactly what we expected. Small but close to the water. Practically a full kitchen tucked in there. Very clean..no bugs. Plenty of lighting.

Ruby helped us all through our reservation process to sharing her knowledge of the area. Our Cabin (cabin #1)was exactly what we expected. Small but close to the water. Practically a full kitchen tucked in there. Very clean..no bugs. Plenty of lighting. Picnic area with charcoal grill and fireplace for bonfire. Our only disappointment was in our own choice to not launch the boat from their boat launch. We are inexperienced boaters and the boat launch appeared very steep..but we drove to the State Park and launched from there. Fishing from the pier at 8 pm was fun to catch little Channel cats. We highly recommend staying at Northshore Resort. I can't wait to go back.

Hands down, the best RV resort we’ve been to. Ms. Lynn is absolutely amazing, extremely helpful and very sweet. She helped accommodate my family For the 4th of July weekend with no problems. The park is clean, dog friendly, very kid friendly. Boat paint and slips make things very convenient. Great little beach area. We will definitely be back A LOT. My new favorite spot ❤️

We stayed 3/11 through 3/13. Cabin was nice. Our 5 year old caught her first catfish. Everyone was so welcoming and nice. Highly recommend.
