I've been here about six months, it's a great place. Quiet, clean, safe, and friendly. Tammy is a great park manager, I highly recommend.

Very nice, clean park. Unexpectedly shady for this part of Texas. Sites are level, full hookup on our site. Nice dog walking area. Extra nice for overnight travel, easy access to US 69.

Older established park , clean and very helpful friendly staff. WI-FI was strong. Water pressure was very good. Short term sites were long, wide, and pretty level for gravel. My truck and 38’ fifth wheel had plenty of room. It was also very quiet at night.

I broke down with my truck and trailer right in front of East Texas RV park I just happened to look up and there it was as my transmission was going out I will be here for a while until it is fixed but seems to be a nice park you should have a fully contained RV however prices are reasonable and the manager is hospitable and friendly

Grounds are well maintained, yet heavy rains will lead to some problems. Many trees on the grounds, still has clearance to view the stars and other skyward objects. Considerate and helpful neighbors who help keep peace and quiet. Highway gets busy during days but is calm at night.
