What campers like
Secluded camping options: Eagles Point RV and Camping provides a quiet retreat despite being close to urban amenities. "This campground is so quiet. It is pretty close to town but once you get here you'll be blown away by how it feels like it's super far from anything else," shares one camper.

"The bathrooms and the showers are very clean and are tiled," notes a visitor at USA RV Resorts Marina Bay, while another camper at Lakeview RV Resort comments, "Beautiful grounds, great pool and fantastic gym!

Check family policies: Not all parks welcome children equally. A visitor to Houston East RV Resort reported, "No school-age children allowed on the property! I didn't stay there with my family and I won't stay there."
Look for family amenities: Some parks offer family-specific facilities. At USA RV Resorts Marina Bay, "They have an adult pool and a family pool," though one visitor noted the adult pool policy "wasn't enforced because when I walked over to it there were several families in the pool."
Consider city parks: Adjacent public parks provide recreation options for children. Houston / Med Center KOA Holiday benefits from its location next to Tom Bass Park, which offers "wonderful dog parks along with playgrounds."
Tips from RVers
Site selection: At Jackie's Place RV Resort, "Pads are all cement with room to park next to your rig. All sites are back so use some spotters to get in safely," advises one RVer.
Leveling requirements: Be prepared for leveling challenges at some parks. One RVer at Eric & Jay's RV Resort reported, "Some of the concrete slabs are unlevel. Perhaps the most unlevel that we've experienced in our travels."
Internet options: RV camping near Deer Park offers varied connectivity solutions. At Eagles Point RV and Camping, "T-mobile signal was also strong," while Eric & Jay's RV Resort uses a unique approach: "They have a 'no wifi' slogan, and the campground wifi is rendered obsolete within the confines of your designated space, instead favoring a hard-wired ethernet connection to your router."
