Wonderful place

We spent a month here. We came in to attend the NRVTA and were bummed when the adjoining park was booked. So we chose Lake Athens, and what a treat! Location is wonderful. Right on a huge, nice lake. Very safe. Large field where we let our dogs off leash. Walking distance to the fishery. There is a restaurant on site with FABULOUS food. People are relaxed... not rude, or loud, don't complain about friendly dogs off leash etc. Sites are gravel but level. We have a 44ft triple axl fifth wheel, had plenty of room (we had an end site but the middle row Sites do appear tight). The permanent residents here are nice. Clean laundry facilities, allowed all our packages/Mail. There is a community fire pit near the play ground. Small area in the back with walking trails. Can't wait to return honestly. Didnt use their wifi as we have our own. We switch from Verizon to ATT, and at times signals were weak. Other times just fine. Hit or miss depending on utilization I suppose.

Beautiful RV Park on Lake Athens

Great and beautiful RV park located right on Lake Athens. Very helpful office staff. I don’t have anything negative to say. All the amenities you may need are available. Next door is the Boathouse, a great restaurant to eat at. Also, the Baitstore for fishing needs. You can’t go wrong with this place.

Small park with a great view !

Small park, RV sites are close together, with full hookup’s! Staff super friendly, great restaurant by the water! Nice place to stay if you have a boat or kayak! Next door to the Texas fresh water fishery, cool place to take the young children! No shade, but I still think it is a great park!

How does Lake Athens Marina and RV Park compare to other RV parks in Athens, TX?
