What campers like
Resort-style amenities: Many RV parks near Jersey Village compensate for limited natural features with upscale facilities. At Highway 6 RV Resort, a visitor shared, "I lived in this park from October 2021 until mid May 2022. I made good use of the showers and bathrooms that were always clean. I also used the recreation room that had a pool table, shuffle board table and large television. Each day there was coffee and popcorn available."
Level concrete pads: The concrete surfaces at many area RV parks provide stability during heavy rains. "A bit on the pricier side, but it is very well managed and well kept. Pool is clean, bathrooms are clean, laundry room clean and looked like all the machines worked. Level concrete pads. Overall we were pleased with our time here," reports a Highway 6 RV Resort camper.

What you should know
Rules enforcement varies: Management styles differ between campgrounds. One camper at Highway 6 RV Resort warned, "They follow people around with a radar, to fine you if you idle too fast. They stalk you when you walk your dogs, and blame you for other people's mess. Nice park, horrible management."
Site spacing limitations: While most RV parks have paved sites, space between units can be tight. At Traders Village RV Park, "It's a large campground and spaces are very small. There's a grass strip between camp sites. No picnic tables or grills. It's very crowded and no room for awnings or for both campers side by side to put out awnings."
Noise considerations: Proximity to highways and urban areas means noise is common. "Beautiful facilities including main building with laundry, bathrooms, and community area. Pool, hot tub, fishing pond, propane, place to wash your dog, and dog walk. Friendly staff. A little noisy with train tracks and airport nearby," mentions a Northlake RV Resort visitor.
Tips for camping with families
Dog washing stations: For families traveling with pets, several parks offer specialized facilities. A visitor to Danny's RV Resort shared, "Great guest service. Full hookup sites, spot are very bigs and concrete roads. Access is restricted at night. This place was perfect for our night stay."
Pool access rules: Many resorts enforce adult-only pool hours in evenings. "They have 2 dog runs, one of them being the largest dog run weve seen at a campground so our mali really got to sprint it out. They also had a free dog wash! The pool was so fancy and the water was lukewarm from the warm son so night swims were the best. They have adult pool hours from 8pm-10pm," noted a Highway 6 RV Resort visitor.
Kid-friendly trail options: When hiking with younger children, plan for shorter excursions. At Stephen F. Austin State Park, "We decided to do a bit of hiking with the kids and this place was perfect for a family trip. The trails were beautiful and easy to get through (marked well) with all of us and the staff was helpful and kind enough to let us know which ones were closed."
