I was the hostess of 50 women members of an outdoor women’s camping group and we held an event at Mystic Quarry October 9-12! We took advantage of tiny homes, RV spots, cabins, and even Glamping tents to house all of our participants! Management could not have been more accommodating and helpful!

They went out of their way to be sure we had everything necessary to make my event successful! We were especially impressed with the fact they have maintained their beautiful trees so we had plenty of shade, and could watch the squirrels, birds, and other animals enjoying the peaceful serenity of the park! The swimming pool was sparkling and crystal clear, and the bathhouse accommodations were well cared for! I would not hesitate to stay here again - and the ladies that attended my event are clamoring for me to hold it here again next year! Every employee we came in contact with was friendly, outgoing, and helpful! BIG kudos to Monica and her team! ❤️

We loved the sites, a bit State parkish. Having a tenting area that is even more wilderness feeling was great so our grown kids could come visit. We (purposely) have a 1 bedroom 5th wheel!!!! The amenities are very nice and the bathrooms are the cleanest I have ever encountered. We will be back!

The safari lodge was such a cool place to stay! I knocked off one star just because the bedding provided was not seasonally appropriate for November. There was one thin top blanket and sheets. Granted we were there when a cold front came through. They will provide additional bedding upon request for a fee but we ended up going to target and buying a nice thick blanket we could bring home with us....

My suggestion to the camp ground would be to provided more bedding options in the lodge in case the weather takes a turn. Unless they make this change, I suggest bringing extra blankets in the fall/winter. There also occasionally was a sewage smell from the bathroom, not sure why but it wasn’t unbearable and honestly was just grateful to have a toilet and still feel like we were camping.

We stayed here in our travel trailer. Our site had lots of shade. The pool was great! The office staff was very helpful and they also offer a shuttle that drops you off at the tubing place in the morning, then returns to pick you up in the afternoon. It is a free service when you stay at the park. They have a really cool trail that is not long. We would definitely stay at this park again!

The friendliness of the staff & people residing in the park is absolutely amazing. The 1st day we were invited to the club house to watch College football & eat free food…. This is by far the most kid friendly, pet welcoming & cleanest RV Park we have stayed in. Being new to the RV life & not knowing much about how to troubleshoot our minor issues that arise, the staff & neighbors we have as a community are more than willing to help & lend a hand saving us time & money!! So happy that we have found a place like this to have long term residence for our travel trailer. Thank u Rusty Boot for accepting us & our child along with our fur baby!!! Feels great to be a part of a community of friendly, helpful, kind & courteous people!!

Just came to sister's for a few days here. It's full for a reason, it's really nice. Management is A+. She went and got a pump to air up electric bike tire that went flat so sister wouldn't have to walk it home. Far enough to avoid the hustle and bustle but

We stayed an entire week in Gardendale Texas the Rusty Boot Rv Park was a wonderful place to stay.

That was close to local businesses, but you felt like you were still staying in the country L O L it seems like I’m always writing about the bathrooms but for me that is a very important part of staying in an RV park😃😉 The bathrooms are clean good water pressure, We will definitely be back.
