Winter Texas Experience
We travel 6 months a year in a 42 ft. 5th wheel. We often travel with my mom and dad and their pup, who have a Class A. We made reservations for 2 sites for 3 months (January, February and March of 2023) last June, 2022. I advised the reservation desk up front that we travel with 4 small rescue pups and was told it was not an issue. She required detailed information on each pup, which included name, age, weight and breed. Within an hour of our arrival, we were informed that RJourney had a 2 dog limit. I advised Becky, the interim manager, that I advised reservation desk last June that we have 4 pups and that I had given detailed information. We were allowed to stay but received many snide and negative comments during our stay from other RVer’s. Our pups are walked on 6 foot leashes ( no 15 foot retractable leashes for us) and are never outside without being leashed and with us. We did walk the park several times a day with our pups and my parents pup often joined us.
There are many cats that also reside in the RV park and are allowed to roam freely outside without restraint and their poop is not picked up. In most of the parks we have stayed in, there are requirements for cats to be leashed or have an outdoor cat “tent.”
There is a wonderful club house for those that choose to join in activities, such as cards, pool, pot luck, bingo etc. That is not our thing, but we did use the outdoor pool and it was very nice. It didn’t take very long to realize that there was a lot of drama, passive aggressive behavior, and infighting occurring in the park and with management. Our neighbors around us were wonderful and we just interacted with them.
There are lots of issues of junk and hoarding around rigs, especially in the older area of the park. It was not unusual to see refrigerators, freezers, air conditioners, and tons of totes and large containers sitting under and around rigs.
The roads in the park are in terrible shape. Tons of huge cracks and potholes. Very poor lighting on parks roads at night. Huge risks of trips and falls for older folks. RJourney did come in during our stay and lay tar and chat in the parking lot and and road beside club house but stopped after those repairs.
When the wind blows out of the north, there is a horrible sewage smell those on the wrong side of the north wind.
The free WI-FI only lasts a week and then you have to sign up. Not very workable for us.
