      My husband and I have always enjoyed camping and the outdoors. We take a lot of pride in our property and know that campers will enjoy the serenity we offer.

      Camping has always been my favorite way to relax and unwind. Enjoy the lovely setting of this romantic spot in nature with someone special. Feel the warm energy sitting next to a fire or enjoy the romantic setting of our 20ft yurt nestled in the 7 acres of woods. We ask that no shoes be worn in the Yurt. We have a fire pit with firewood included. Our beautiful pond with two waterfalls. The gorgeous mature trees make for a great stay.

      You can enjoy hiking, kayaking, & swimming all within 5 minutes from us at Lake Houston State Park.

      2WD is all that is needed to get to our little Yurt hideaway.

      The host will greet campers upon arrival then leave campers to enjoy their stay.

      Thousand Trails Lake Conroe

      Great location with access to Lake Conroe, Nice Sites, we had a great time!

      We went to watch the Eclipse in October, it was great weather, no clouds.  We had a great time.  Our RV site was roomy and there were a few sites surrounding us that were not occupied, which allowed us to spread out, kicking soccer balls and throwing footballs.  The kids loved it.  The boat launch is nice, we didn't have any watercrafts but will maybe try to bring a kayak or canoe next time we visit.  

      The location is not far from The Woodlands and Houston, and other attractions.  But still in a quiet area.

      Interesting State Park Near Houston

      We had no problem finding this interesting state park as our RV GPS took us right to the gate and we had been to this campground (CG) two years ago. This time, we knew better than to park at the office's stop sign to register, which is where most CGs have you stop when registering. There’s a sign that says not to park there but to pull forward. Last time we, didn't read the stop sign and got our butt chewed by a park ranger. As we are disabled veterans, we also got new Texas State Park passes, so we did not have to pay the additional$5 per person state park entry fee on top of the camping fee. You do not have to be a Texas resident but you need to be at least 60 percent service disabled. The same very nice and knowledgeable lady from last time checked us in and we proceeded to pull through site 17 with FHUs, but only 30 AMP. The utilities are placed centered on the site, which is nice. The water pressure here is on the low side at around 30-35 psi. The sites are nearby, but the spacious yard has a cement patio, picnic table, and fire pit. We had no problem getting our 40’ 5th wheel in the site but had to park our F450 at an angle in front of the rig. We got 2 bars on Verizon and were able to place our Starlink to get a shot of the northern sky. There are a lot of mature trees in this CG, so the satellite is going to depend on the site. As we checked in, we were told several trails had opened back up as the area was recovering from heavy rain and flooding. The golf course, now private, had opened back up as well, but there was still a lot of water on the course when we were there in February.

      Houston West RV Park

      Excellent price!

      Every other campground in the Houston area seems to be $55+, but with AAA discount I only paid $45 here! They were very accommodating when I called and gave us an easy spot up front because we were arriving after 8pm. Level spot, no fuss. Quiet night. Only downside were the mosquitos. Bring repellant! Altogether a good experience for a single overnight.

      ONE OF OUR FAVORITES

      This park is really back in there as from the office to the sites it's a good distance which is nice. Level sites and more than enough room between sites. If you like hiking, you can get it done here, just watch out for the gators.....

      Great State Park for Hiking/Biking

      We stayed in spot 112 in February 2024.  

      • Sites are very nice, wide, and (mostly) level.  
      • Campground is kept clean.  
      • Bathroom is a bit outdated, but still clean.
      • Trails are very nice and appear top be kept up regularly.  Just watch out for the alligators.
      • Don't forget to reserve a spot at the observatory on Saturday nights...

      Thousand Trails Lake Conroe

      Our favorite TX Thousand trails!

      This has got to be one of the best campgrounds! We stay here every time we pass through Texas. The campground is huge and offers so many great amenities. People are always super friendly. We have made the most connections of any stay at this campground because of it. I always want to get one of the paved sites at the front because they look so nice! But they are usually taken. It’s so great having an Amazon hub locker right next to the campground as well! You can take your kayak right on to the lake from the access area on the campground. Bathrooms are nice and clean. And the pool / hot tub are open until 11pm which is rare for Thousand Trails!

      Decent Spot on the water

      Good little park off the beaten path. You can camp with water views. Flush toilets with running water, but those mosquitoes will eat you alive.

      Excellent Park for Weekend Camping Trips

      We have been to this park twice.  Once as our very first trip with our travel trailer (Site 24), and once again this year (Site 13).  This park is really nice for hiking, biking, or just relaxing.

      Great trails for all exercise levels.  Lots of places to stop and rest, or just sit and take in nature for a while.

      Just be careful, if Google GPS tries to take you to the back gate... :)  It's a tiny road, and a dead end.

      Very nice family friendly camping spot with a killer view

      Wow! So I had no idea this place was camper friendly. This place is awesome! If the public head wasn't in such rough shape, I would give this place 5 stars! I absolutely love the history of the area and think the area should be very proud of the display here!
