We had a great experience at the RV park. We had a last minute stop between campsites while going to see family in Dallas. New site and they have the RV life in mind when building this site. A NEW single shower, washer/dryer for use, water, sewer, and electric is covered for the use of the site. Scott is very likeable and is more than willing to help where it is needed. He has been in the RV busin... We had a great experience at the RV park. We had a last minute stop between campsites while going to see family in Dallas.

It was a great overnight and would be great for long term, if we needed it. I look forward to the site in the future.

Stayed there one night. Price is on the higher end for an RV park, but the value for it is good. It was quiet and seemed safe. Nice amenities.
