Would stay again, pretty good park
We spent an entire month, as we typically do, in Bluebonnet Ridge RV Park in Terrell, Texas. There is a lot to really like about this campground. We would definitely stay here again.
Pros:
-
The park was clearly being maintained
-
The basketball /tennis courts had just been resurfaced
-
Anytime someone left, or a spot was empty, new gravel was being dumped and leveled
-
Even though closed for Covid, the pool was cleaned daily.
-
There's a small dog park area.
-
Doggie bags were provided in multiple places, and ample trash cans in which to drop them.
-
Sufficient WiFi repeaters throughout the CG
-
The grass is kept mowed down, good to avoid those Texas stickers getting in your shoelaces.
-
All but one staff member was really friendly.
-
Package receiving was well handled and painless.
-
Each visitor, even short term like us, gets a mailbox. You can go in 24/7 and check it.
-
There's a "swap area" where people leave magazines, etc. (Near the mailboxes.)
-
There's a nice little pond you can fish in, catch-and-release only, no license required.
-
LOTS of room to walk the dog!
-
There's ample overflow parking and trailer storage space so you don't have to crowd your campsite.
-
Laundry facility on site, we didn't utilize it since we have a W/D in the rig.
-
Bulletin board for posting things, we bought our W/D from another person at the campsite!
-
Park was pretty quiet while we were there. No ruckus or loud people. Folks walked around, talked a bit.
-
They have Good Sam and Passport American discounts available.
Cons:
- You're really close to I-20, you will hear the road noise. Only trucks are loud. (We did hear a blowout, scared me to death!)
- The WiFi, while available, is really slow. When you connect, they track usage by hardware MAC address. Use too much, you get blocked and have to ask to be allowed back on.* There are some boggy areas you have to watch for near the pond. (Don't step on the thousands of crawfish towers!)
- The road is in fairly bad shape, leading into the park. They could really use a road company out there to fix it.
- There are some rigs that appear more"permanent" with stairs, patio furniture, that sort of thing. But none were run-down looking.
- When it rains, some of the driveways do get muddy. The gravel replacement helps.
Other:
- There are a LOT of Tiny Houses that have been put on the property. They all looks really new, well maintained.
- The staff appears to reserve some spots near the front for folks coming in for a day or two to a week. It was NOT all permanents by any means.
