Tyler State Park Campground offers limited-use cabins with air conditioning, mini refrigerators, and microwave ovens.

      Jellystone Park™ Tyler

      Horrible experience

      JELLYSTONE PARK TYLER, TEXAS — 1 STAR. ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTED.

      We paid for a family vacation October 16–18. Instead, we spent our time dealing with concerning cabin conditions, repeatedly relocating, and trying to get management to take us seriously.

      Cabin 122 smelled musty, had an unusually soft bathroom floor, and showed visible discoloration and growth that concerned us. I photographed it.

      We were moved repeatedly. No meaningful assistance was offered. Our children lost vacation time because we were busy packing and unpacking.

      AND LET ME MAKE SOMETHING PERFECTLY CLEAR:

      NOTHING WE RECEIVED WAS PROACTIVELY OFFERED TO MAKE OUR DISRUPTED VACATION RIGHT.

      Build-A-Bear? WE requested it in exchange for a missed hayride.

      Linens refund? WE requested it because of the bedding condition.

      Management has referenced these things as though they somehow made up for everything else.

      They did not. Stop presenting things we had to ask for as generosity.

      Then there's manager Tom.

      During one interaction, he demanded that I look at him while he spoke to me. I found his manner condescending and disrespectful.

      He also chose to approach me to apologize while I was alone in my swimsuit at the pool, despite having other opportunities to speak with me. I was uncomfortable with that interaction.

      I repeatedly raised a Build-A-Bear request without meaningful acknowledgment. When a man in our group repeated the same request, Tom immediately agreed.

      I cannot speak to his intentions, but I should not have to rely on a man repeating my request to feel heard.

      Women, based on my experience, I would personally avoid dealing with Tom.

      Multiple members of our group also understood Tom to say that accepting a refund meant we had 30 minutes to leave the property. Management disputes that account. I stand by my recollection.

      After filing a formal complaint, providing photographs, and following up, I contacted Northgate Resorts because I wanted someone ABOVE Tyler management to review our experience.

      Instead, I spoke with Kyle Mohler on October 27.

      He disputed my concerns and denied a refund.

      THEN HE TOLD ME THEY INTEND TO USE OUR EXPERIENCE TO IMPROVE HOW EMPLOYEES HANDLE GUEST RELOCATIONS.

      Excuse me?

      Our experience is significant enough to warrant changing procedures, but apparently not significant enough to warrant additional compensation for the family who endured it?

      When I asked for contact information for someone above him, Kyle refused, stating he didn't need to or have to provide it.

      I CONTACTED CORPORATE TO GET ABOVE RESORT MANAGEMENT, NOT TO BE SENT RIGHT BACK TO IT.

      I am disgusted with the way this vacation and the subsequent complaint have been handled.

      This is only a summary. My original complaint contains 19 sections, and I have photographs and correspondence. I am willing to share a redacted copy privately with anyone interested.

      ONE STAR. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND JELLYSTONE PARK TYLER. OUR FAMILY DESERVED BETTER.

      Martin Creek Lake State Park Campground

      Great Stop

      We have stayed here on multiple cross country trips and it's always been great for a quiet spot! It's well shaded and our ConnecTen Internet worked great here. Nice walking and very chill atmosphere with clean bath houses.

      Caddo Lake State Park Campground

      Great Stay

      Had a nice stay, peaceful, not crowded. Electricity hookup was further than I expected so had to buy 3 additional 20 foot extension cords (total of 4). Luckily there is a family dollar a mile or two away. Other than that no issues.

      Caddo Lake State Park Campground

      Great Canoeing

      Stayed at an RV campsite and had water and electricity no problems. Bathrooms are very spacious and kept clean daily. Canoeing on the Mill Pond was peaceful. Great state park to visit.

      Caddo Lake State Park

      Great campground, level, spacious sites, full hook ups. Beautiful park all around. It was very cold when we were there and the restrooms didn't have any heat. Probably don't need it most of the time. Other than no heat, the facilities were nice. Great stay .

      Excellent Access to the Water

      Very Open and Clean. Access to the water with a boat ramp. Quiet but easy to get to with a nice turn around.

    What campers like

    Island camping: Martin Creek Lake State Park Campground offers a unique primitive camping experience. "My wife and I did our first camp at Martin Creek Lake state park the other week. It was a great smaller state park. We highly recommend their primitive camping option on the island. Remember to bring your wagon, the parking lot is a good 70 yards to the camp sites," advises Aaron K.

    Fall foliage viewing: The parks showcase seasonal color changes during autumn months. "I stopped at Daingerfield State Park on my way to Arkansas...

    What you should know

    Varying bathroom quality: Facilities differ between parks. "There's a power plant over there. Didn't know that when I booked my site. Nice short distance hiking trail, I enjoyed quite a bit. The sites were clean, well kept. The bathrooms were also clean (Always a good thing to have!)" notes Shane H. about Martin Creek Lake State Park.

    Tips for camping with families

    Kid-friendly swimming: Jellystone Park™ Tyler offers extensive water recreation facilities. "It was great to take advantage of the water amenities available!

    Tips from RVers

    Site spacing: Look for parks with adequate room between sites. "Roads make it easy to get around and get into your site. Most pads are concrete, very clean well kept campground. View of lake is wonderful, peaceful and huge spaces," notes Jon S. about Lake Hawkins County RV Park.

    Electrical options: Many cabin rental areas also offer RV sites. "We would camp here again, not full hook ups but the staff was the best we have ever runn across. Very helpful in every aspect. Swim area, alot of trails. Quiet campground," says Peggy H. about Martin Creek Lake.

    Leveling requirements: Check site conditions before booking. "BIG PINE camping area only big rig friendly(longer than 20 ft) out of 40 FHU sites. Big Pine, Dogwood and Mountain View Campgrounds FHU so 40 FHU sites with no park dump station," reports a camper about Daingerfield State Park, adding "No leveling required from side-to-side."

    Off-season benefits: Consider cabin stays during less crowded periods. "We came here first week of April 2021. Spring in the air, blooms all around.
