Very nice park. Would like a little more shade. Nice pool area and cute splash area for kids. The Laundry was spotless and worked great. The office staff were wonderful. They have propane so we filled up before we left. We stayed 3 days.

The resort is one of the best places I've been to by far. The hosts are sweet as can be, the facilities are always kept up, all concrete lots. It's always quiet and very family friendly. The pond is fun to relax and fish on, we caught lots of catfish! The pool is very clean, i didn't visit the hot tub but from what I've heard from other residents, it's nice. The bathrooms and shower rooms are imma... The resort is one of the best places I've been to by far. The hosts are sweet as can be, the facilities are always kept up, all concrete lots.

The laundry room is always kept tidy and everyone is very conscious and respectful of other residents needing laundry completed. There is also a little splash pad and playground for children and my 3 year old LOVED it! Its affordable and just all around wonderful! I definitely recommend Shallow Creek RV Resort as a residence for traveling families/couples or even just a weekend getaway! ☺

A wonderful RV park hidden in the woods of East TX. Large sites with easy access to hook-ups. Both pull-thrus and back-in sites all concrete. Clean restrooms and laundry. Easy to maneuver big rigs with concrete roads throughout. Propane, hot tub, pool and camp store. Friendly staff and great service.

Very clean and nice. Great laundry area and pool. Very nice people manage it very well. It also has a nice little play ground. We have stayed in many rv parks all over with my husband’s work. This by far is in my top 5 parks in Texas. Very relaxed and quiet but also kid and pet friendly. I can’t say enough good things about the pool area! My son learned to swim there! By far one of our favorites a... Very clean and nice. Great laundry area and pool. Very nice people manage it very well. It also has a nice little play ground.

We stayed here 3 months this Spring in our big fifth wheel. It is definitely big rig friendly and the work campers were great. The sites toward the front are not level and need blocking. The areas between the sites are mostly weeds and were constantly muddy. Had to constantly clean our shoes or leave them outside. Yuh
