The spots are massive, we have a F450 towing a 47' ATC toy hauler, we could have nearly put 2 of these in one spot, We used full hookups, they are easy to get to, it is a small town, so if your looking for a fancy meal it may be in the next town. But the restaurant's that are there get it done just fine. The parts "pump jacks" across the street are cool scenery, not being from Texas.

Thank you for this campground! It was nice being able to walk across to the hospital to visit my mom. It was a blessing. Your wifi allowed me to work. And you have full hookups.

I just checked in at this place on 10.15, and the owner patiently responded and guided me through the entire payment process. It's very convenient here! I'm very touched!
