    An amazing Resort

    During our brief but enjoyable stay, we appreciated the warm hospitality of the staff members, Riley and Thomas, who were not only welcoming but also well-informed about the amenities and services. We took full advantage of the facilities, including swimming, doing laundry, playing board games, and using the private bathrooms. The exercise room was particularly impressive, and the spacious and clean lots added to the overall positive experience. I forgot to mention that there is even a convenience store that's open from 10-6.

    Okay time

    It was a fun time. Site 100 was away from everyone and it was nice and quiet. I enjoyed my time here as a first time travel trailer person. It was nice. I didn’t use the bathrooms there and I didn’t see the showers but I’d go back.

    Well kept RV Park

    Well kept RV Park with friendly staff. This park sports an "old side" and "new side". It offers covered sites (extra cost), propane fill station, dumpsters, bath/toilet houses, laundry room, dog park, pool with sun or shaded seating, small storefront, WiFi & cable, free waffle breakfasts on the weekends and a fishing pond. Located just off the highway makes for an easy commute for work or adventures. Some of the sites are quite cramped. It took 20 minutes to get into our spot due to many trees and other campers/ vehicles. Spent one week here and probably would not stay here again due the very loud traffic noises.

    Also called McLennan County Park

    It threw me off when I saw the name difference, but yes, McLennan County Park is the same place as Tradinghouse. I saw on a website that camping wasn't allowed, but this is said it is. I called the McLennan County Sheriff and they said, "Yeah, people camp there all the time." So that's awesome. Free to camp, too, and now I have a place to stay to ping pong between here and Whitney every 14 days.

    Another interesting aspect of the Dinosaur Game is its cultural impact. It has become a recognizable symbol of internet downtime, often referenced in memes and social media posts. This cultural relevance has helped to cement its status as a beloved part of the internet landscape.

    Very Nice Park Next to Interstate 35

    This is a very nice park that is located next to Interstate 35, so expect some highway noise. That doesn't bother us, and we had a lovely stay. Emily came quickly to meet us near the office after we called the number on the sign. She had us wait while she drove around to make sure we had a nicely shaded site with temperatures expected to be around 100°. Emily then guided us to the site and helped line up our RV for utilities and slide clearances. She was very friendly stayed to chat and make recommendations on things to do and places to eat. The park is well-kept and the sites all looked to have plenty of shade. Still, we were able to use our Starlink dish on the ground behind Site 138 with no drop-outs. Water pressure was good but a little lower one morning when the irrigation system was running. We will happily stay here again the next time we come through Waco!

    calm environment, quiet with helpful hosts

    We stayed at north Crest during a summer heat wave,   The well kept grounds provided natural shade to keep our camper cool.  The hosts were extremely helpful and gave us a quick call when they discovered we forgot some important equipment.  The bathhouse is amazing with two full baths in total privacy.  Can be used a family baths.

    Peaceful and Comfortable

    Taylor Park was a great place to see the 2024 Solar Eclipse, right in the path of totality. The sites were very well maintained and adequately spaced so as to offer some privacy even though there was very little bush coverage between the sites. The bathrooms and showers were in need of updating and a couple of the toilets were overflowing while the others needed the handle held down to do a complete flush. The trail was not correctly mapped and there was no museum as indicated on the trail map. Our stay was peaceful and comfortable.
