Tips from RVers
Site selection: At HAPPY GOAT RETREAT, the "luxury tiny cargo homes" provide an alternative to traditional cabins. A visitor described the property's "premier outdoor amenities including our state-of-the-art heated swimming pool, fishing ponds, rustic event center, Pygmy goat play area, communal fire pit, and outdoor gaming area."
Road noise: Position of cabins relative to highways affects the noise level during stays. A Lake Conroe-Houston North KOA visitor observed: "The only con I can give the place is it being right off of 105. That is a busy road even late into the nights. We had a spot in the front of the park and there was a good amount of road noise."
Wi-Fi considerations: Internet access varies significantly between properties. A visitor to Thousand Trails Lake Conroe noted: "I booked this site because it shows wifi as an amenity. However, the wifi is a pay-by-the-day only offer."
