Basketball and playgrounds: Winstar RV Park offers recreational facilities beyond casino access. "Large pavilion next to outdoor basketball court and playground," mentions James R., while another reviewer notes "There's a nice sidewalk that runs around most of the park, with doggie bag/trash stations along the way."

What you should know
Site variations: At Thousand Trails Lake Texoma, "Sites range from full sun to full shade. Quite a few annuals. Might have given 5 stars but both pools are shut down and it's HOT!" notes Tom C., while another camper advises, "I would definitely recommend checking the pedestal before unpacking. There were a ton of spots closed off because of bad pedestals."
Distance to water: Lake access may require transportation at some parks. One reviewer notes about Thousand Trails: "One big issue with this park is the distance to the actual lake itself. You will need a cart or be ready for a hike to the beach area as it is quite a ways from the campground."
Road conditions: Interior road quality varies widely. A visitor to Thousand Trails reports, "Interior roads are a bit rough," while another camper mentions "The roads within the park itself could use some serious attention."
Tips for camping with families
Quiet locations: Star Trails RV Park offers a peaceful setting with kid-friendly amenities. "Star Trails is a cozy little RV park just north of Whitesboro, TX. Full hookups with good wifi. Clean and quiet. Nice little pool, walking trails and fishing pond," reports Chris P.
Picnic opportunities: Some parks offer dedicated dining spaces. Thousand Trails Lake Texoma has a trail where one camper advises: "Bring a picnic basket. tables to sit at or on the waters edge."
Swimming options: During summer months, pool access matters. One visitor notes: "The sites had full hookup, loved that! Not close to the lake, did not like that! Bathrooms were not clean and they could do some upkeep on the property!" This suggests families should verify swimming amenities before booking.
Tips from RVers
Laundry availability: Winstar RV Park has specific laundry procedures. "You have to get a card from the office to gain entrance(like a keyless hotel card), which we weren't provided with upon check-in, so be sure to ask upfront," advises a visitor, adding "I think it was about $2 for a wash/dry."
Water quality considerations: Water chemistry differs between parks. One camper notes about Winstar: "The only negative, for me, at least, was that this is SOFT water. I have never been a fan of soft water. In addition, we used the water a couple of times to make ice, and I didn't like the taste of it."
Rate structures: Pricing varies seasonally and by day of week. A visitor to Winstar RV Park explains: "Can't beat 40 per night rate on weekends and 30 during week," while another notes that monthly rates are sometimes unavailable: "The only reason we left Winstar RV park was because they wouldn't offer us a monthly rate."
