    Nice and clean

    Nice easy place to stay the night. Bathrooms and showers are super clean. Not the most scenic of places but quiet and fairly easy to access - highway construction was underway in June 2024.

    Love Lake Murray!

    Can’t beat this site for $29/night. The sites where we were at are a bit close together. It definitely would have been better to be further on the peninsula or at Cedar Cove or Elephant Rock But we were just happy there was a last-minute cancellation on their website allowing us to be here otherwise it was all booked up for the weekend (I just kept refreshing the booking page).

    Bathrooms good. Access the water was close. Lake Murray is one of the more clear lakes in Oklahoma.

    The golf course, which was beautiful & close, has super twilight hours (after 6pm) which made it very affordable $16pp w/cart.

    Great visit. Will be back!

    Pelham City Park

    Pretty run down and amenities not accurate:

    THERE ARE NO SHOWERS OR FLUSH TOILETS INCLUDED IN THIS STAY ACCORDING TO CITY WORKERS…when we arrived I went into the building to check out showers and a lady asked me what I was doing then informed the showers are for paid pool goers and there are vault toilets by the rv dump site, but they were locked. The sites are all covered in hitchhiker burrs, our dog found them all haha. The sites have water hookups but they’re in-ground and several are washed out so almost impossible to hook to without getting mud in your hose.

    Cedar Grove Campground

    I fell asleep to the sound of waves lapping at the lakeshore. Sublime.

    This was my first stop on a 4,000-mile trip from NW Arkansas to California and back. I met my brother and his wife who live just north of Fort Worth and spent two nights cooking and laughing around the campfire. The perfect start to an adventure.

    The weather was cool and so not many bugs. Since this was a water-facing spot, I would consider the weather when booking. Great hikes. Don't forget to visit the tower while you're there.

    Red River Rose RV Resort

    Best campground around

    All I can say is WOW, from the scenery, beautiful flowers display, to catch and release fishing to the adorable baby ducks this park is BEAUTIFUL! My husband and I absolutely love it here. Before arrival I spoke with Echo about what we needed in order to accommodate our stay and she was able to answer all our questions, upon arrival we met the sweetest young woman Taylor in the front office, she gave us all the information we needed, some history of the park and suggested restaurants and things to do locally. Brandon who informed us he did repairs and would be more then willing to help us as we are new to the RVing. The next morning we was having a minor cable issue(user error silly me) a gentleman name Anthony came to our site and had as ready to go in no time as the storms were coming in I wanted to be weather aware, as the day went on we was amazed by how much Anthony and the other gentleman outside did( I think his brother; they look a lot alike) to keep the park beautiful as well as helping anyone who stopped them throughout the day! 10/10 recommend this park and will be sharing with all my friends and family. Although, I didn’t get to meet Debra the manager this time during our stay, her staff spoke highly of her I believe she is doing a great job with the staff she has on hand. I am completely blown away and amazed with how much hospitality and joy this park brought us, you don’t see it much anymore. This park has such a homey feeling, the staff all seem like family and make you feel like you are apart of them. Keep up the good work red river rose you have definitely earned our business for many more years to come.

    Eisenhower State Park Campground

    Perfect Developed Campsite

    I was just passing through on a road trip and needing a cheap place to spend the night, but this was the kind of park I’d actually come back to and hang out in. The camp sites are spread out and clean. The lake views are beautiful. There are tons of activities like hiking, fishing, or paddle boarding.

    Not the best

    I booked here for the FHU sites, but was not overly impressed. The Bois loop pull throughs, although paved, were severely sloped and hard to level. The hiking trails were not that great either. Convenient off 75.

    At the park, you'll find slides and swings, along with a warm lake equipped with a small"beach" area for swimming. I'd suggest bringing water shoes and floaties for a more enjoyable experience! wink mod apk latest version

    XCIP TV player application

    It seemed like there was a bustling weekend before, as the trash was overflowing, attracting hundreds of noisy, bold, and assertive crows xciptv apk. Despite my food items being securely locked inside my closed car, these crows favored my location the most. The scene reminded me of the intense atmosphere from Hitchcock's movie,"The Birds."

    Nice small campground on Lake

    Nice campground with level concrete pads (west side) and grave (east). Bathroom with showers, boat ramp and dump stations each side. There is a hiking trail and boat ramp on west side.

    Lovely but noisy

    We stayed for an overnight with our 36’ trailer. It was easy to find and we chose the easiest spot to park. Our spot had a cement pad which was mostly level. The resort is well maintained and clean. Looks like a fun location with kids. Staff was polite and helpful.

    Propane refill available on site (big plus).

    Be ready for highway noise and the occasional train whistle.

    Overall really good

    Visited Skyview in September 2023 - overall it's a solid RV park with some really nice views. We've only stayed for 2 days, but it's been really good and we've had great time.

    It's located pretty close to DFW so everything you would need is close-by(we've visited Big Bend one our first day and Gritr's gun range( https://range.gritrsports.com/ ) on second since we wanted to check out the city itself.

    Great RV Resort near Lake Texoma - Gordonville, TX

    We've been staying at this gated RV Resort since May, 2023. The new owners are amazing! Customer service is top notch and they do everything to make you feel at home. There is complimentary trash pickup, a dog walking area with dog stations, benches for relaxing and watching stunning sunsets, on-site laundry, propane and ice for sale and a fish cleaning station. Park also has complimentary wif-fi and Verizon and AT&T work well here. Owners are currently in the process of remodeling the office, 3 bathrooms and they are adding a fitness area. There will be a general store complete with snack items and ice cream once complete. All sites are full hook up, 30 and 50 amp sites available. Lake Texoma and the boat launch is 1/4 mile away. The owners provide complimentary boat launch passes too. There is a casino with cafe approximately 1 mile away, 9-hole golf course about 2 miles away and multiple restaurants and shopping within a half hour.  We also went on a fishing charter with Triple Header Fishing Guide (thfgtx@gmail.com) and it was so fun. We highly recommend this RV Resort. Give it a try, you won't be disappointed!

    Beautiful

    We stayed in elephant rock 2 site 44, we had a great view of the lake, however we didn’t realize we would need 50 feet of hose just to hook up to the water, and there were glass bottles all in the swim area. Still had a great weekend and will stay here again!

    All around excellent

    I have camped here many times. The park is well maintained and offers beautiful hiking trails and scenery. It is also safe with plenty of staff making rounds to ensure everyone's safety. I have stayed at their pull through camper sites, shelters, as well as tent camping with no complaints. The park is also undergoing construction upgrades and new paved roads ATM but the areas are clearly identified on their website. Definitely a family friendly park with plenty of wildlife to enjoy!
