What to do
Fishing opportunities: Stillwater RV Resort maintains a stocked pond where fish are actively biting. "Small lake with lots of floating things for kids to climb on" notes one camper, making it suitable for both serious anglers and families.
Antiquing excursions: Gladewater, located 15 miles from some RV parks, serves as the antique capital of Texas. A reviewer at Antique Capital RV Park confirms that "Gladewater has many, many, many antique shops" and calls it a "great spot if you love antiquing!"
Golfing access: Several campgrounds border local golf courses, providing convenient access for players. One reviewer mentioned that Shallow Creek RV Park is "on a golf course for you golfers," making it possible to camp and play without additional travel.
What campers like
Concrete pad quality: Many sites feature level concrete pads that eliminate setup frustration. A camper at Carthage RV campground noted that "sites are perfectly level and concrete," though they also advised that "sites toward the front seem pretty close together, but sites further from the road are spread out more."
Clean facilities: Consistently maintained bathhouses receive positive mentions. "Bathrooms and laundry clean," reports one reviewer, while another states, "Restroom/shower/laundry facilities were perfect."
Swimming amenities: Shallow Creek RV Park offers multiple swimming options including "2 pools, hot tub, splash park," which proves particularly valuable during hot Texas summers. One camper called it "exceptionally clean and friendly" with "good lighting."
What you should know
Hookup configurations: Some parks have unusual utility placement requiring extra equipment. One camper at Carthage RV Campground warned: "If in class A with a tow, will have to unhook if you don't have 25-30 foot long hoses."
Leveling requirements: While concrete pads are common, many still require adjustment. A reviewer at Marshall Meadows RV & Tiny Home Village described it as offering "country style living with an onsite pond," creating a peaceful rural atmosphere.
Pool usage policies: Some resorts restrict outside food and drinks in pool areas. At Stillwater RV Resort, a visitor observed: "They don't allow outside food or drinks, which I get that they don't want people bringing in alcohol, but it would have been nice to have our own bottles of water with it being over 90 degrees."
Tips for camping with families
Activity planning: Schedule around organized events at larger resorts. "They had a bunch of activities for the holiday weekend which were fun! Duck races on two days, firework show (very good and free), bingo, chalk contest, find the flags, etc!" noted one family at Stillwater.
Playground access: Laguna Vista RV Park offers a "small dog park" and has amenities suitable for families. One reviewer mentioned "The small pond was great to walk around and chat by," providing a natural gathering space.
Shade considerations: Many parks have limited tree cover, making summer visits challenging without preparation. A visitor noted: "There isn't a lot of seating or shade. I did see people bring camp chairs and just setting up where they could."
Tips from RVers
Extension planning: Pack extra sewer hose for unpredictably positioned hookups. "Make sure you bring a lot of sewer hose! We had our 20ft and had to go to Walmart to get an extension," advised one RVer.
Site selection: Request spots away from early-departing work campers when possible. A reviewer at Laguna Vista noted: "Some noise early in the morning when workers left, but other than that ... hidden gem for a quick one night stay!"
Budget management: Consider membership discounts to offset costs. "Passport America site... I paid a total of $19.24 for the night" reported one camper, highlighting the substantial savings available through discount programs.
