    GOOD !!

    Midway Pines RV Park is indeed a gem! The peaceful atmosphere, beautiful surroundings, and well-maintained facilities make it an ideal spot for a relaxing getaway. I totally understand why you feel so comfortable there. Speaking of relaxing, if you're looking to pass the time while you're enjoying the serene vibes, I highly recommend checking out the Traffic Rider app. It's a fun and immersive way to experience motorbike riding through beautiful landscapes, just like the ones around the park! Give it a try during your next visit—it's the perfect way to unwind!

    Waxahachie Creek Park

    Close to Nature

    I wish I could rate this campground higher because it was so peaceful with quite a bit of bushy vegetation to provide a small measure of privacy between sites. This is as close to nature as one can get in a campground!  There was poison ivy on the trees next to us and in the mowed ground around the campsite.  There were so many butterflies, flies, and other flying insects on the sunny side of our RV that it made entering and exiting through the sliding door very difficult. And, the ANTS! After one night in our site, the ants had formed an active trail to the top of our RV. Consequently, we had ants inside the RV!

    The roads inside the campground need to be repaved.

    The camp host and the park ranger were both very friendly and informative.

    Free parking on a lake with bathroom and tables

    Overall good free spot right on the water. We weren’t quite level on the road but nice to have bathrooms with running water and picnic tables right outside. Sign said you can stay for multiple nights.

    East Fork Park Campground

    Functional with good views

    Pros: Great views of the water and wildflowers in the meadows. Reasonable price. Everything works and the shaded picnic tables are a plus. 5G plus signal on ATT for anything you might need online. Downsides: It looks like there could be a lot of water pooled on and behind our site with a heavy rain. The pad has definitely broken up over time and isn't level. The fire pit is also sitting at an angle. We noticed two groups of campers with 4-6 extra cars having gatherings last night, so that might have been distracting if we were right next to them.

    Needs some work

    Generally I’ll stay at a KOA for a night when traveling through. They are like McDonald’s, nothing special but you know what to expect. This one was below par even for a KOA. We arrived just at 5:00 pm but the office was already closed. Didn’t see any staff before we left in the morning. Out checking information was available on the bulletin board. A sign said there were no more available sites, but there were clearly over 40 empty spaces. Many of the sites need new picnic tables, and the trees are full of dead branches. However the grass was mowed. Sites are very close together. Closer than most. There is a grassy dog park. There is also the a playground- a swing set! Also a pool which appears functional. Bathroom and showers were adequate. !

    There is an RV repair facility next door.
