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.

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.
We have visited this park on two occasions. On two occasions, we embarked on trips with our travel drive mad trailer.
The location, just 35 miles northwest of Houston, is convenient for those in the greater Houston area looking for a quick slope 3d getaway.
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.
I like Welsh park not a bad stop if your stuck and all other campgrounds are full nice people running the park would stay again
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.
Nice mini lake and walking trail
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!

It was disappointing to learn that some visitors left behind piles of trash even though trash bins were available. Always keep the environment beautiful like geometry dash world game. I want you to know this game more.
As a TT member you can't best the price for a very nice park.
The existing facilities required snow rider 3d modernization and were in close proximity to the sewer hoses of the adjacent site, which presented an unattractive situation.
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.
Nice amenities, everything is close, unlike some Thousand Trails. Seemed very up-to-date. Reserved 3 nights and extended for a 4th.
 We were in site 33 on the water’s edge. The sites are nicely spaced.
This resort is perfect! With a great pool, hot tub, playground, tennis courts, basketball courts, a lake with a beach and much more this is a great place for a family vacation.
The nicest and warmest bath house so far. The park is awesome. If one is near it’s a must stay.
They got it all here! New spots and pavilion they put in look great. Not surprised so many people choose to stay long-term.
It’s a large campground and spaces are very small. There’s a grass strip between camp sites. No picnic tables or grills. The office gave us a map and showed us how to get to our site but virtually impossible to understand. A very nice gentleman that stayed here took us to our site. He said they have no idea how to do directions and a buddy of his really messed up his camper by trolling around looking for their site. It’s very crowded and no room for awnings or for both campers side by side to put out awnings. There is a pool but it doesn’t look well maintained and there’s absolutely no chairs. Just the pool and it’s small. Laundry room is large. There’s no dog park or anywhere to walk your dog. Signs everywhere that say no pets, yet they are allowed. The flea market is only on the wknd. It’s close to a lot of restaurants and in a nice area.
Wow, that RV park is fantastic. Low-cost and spotless. The integrated wifi is top-notch. The site is clean and orderly. Very simple place
Very nice FHU pull thru sites with 5 camp hosts, who, according to signage, they clean the toilets and shower facilities. Quiet NYE weekend with 10 FHU sites vacant! Two New toilet/shower facilities for campgrounds. A herd of whitetail deer wanders thru campground in morning and evening.
Karstens RV Resort is where I like to stay. It has a lot of amenities. It's a clean and appealing environment. Their fees are also lower than others, and they have better facilities than other RV slope game parks.
This Park is on the edge of being a 5 STAR park...
PROS
Senior Discount
Check-in at the gate without leaving vehicle NO street lights in A3 campground, so good dark sky viewing(when neighbors don’t have a dozen campsite lights illuminating 3-4 campsites)
Very very quiet Sunday thru Wednesday
Site 62 backs up to Lake Livingston so excellent view of lake and easy accessibility from lakefront campsites
Site 62 12 ft wide concrete parking pad level
Moveable wooden and metal picnic table on concrete pad
Metal fire ring(no cooking grate)
Pedestal BBQ grill Campsite utility hook-ups in good condition with no problems encountered
Trash pickup at each campsite 3 times daily
Pristine grounds
Very clean toilet/shower facility; it took 3 men 2 hours in a Monday to clean one facility, but no cleaning Tuesday or Wednesday or Thursday(didn’t even pick up the trash)!
Constable manning gate after normal gate hours
Roped off lake swimming area
Small playground near swimming area
CONS
Paid$3.50 reservation fee for completing 100% on-line reservation
On Day#2 of our stay, a neighbor camper came to us to inform us that the park manager just stopped by his site(we were at our site and saw him) to let him know there was a burn ban established for the next 7 days and that he need to spread the word to other campers. Two days later we saw a small burn ban sign posted at the toilet/shower facility. Communicating this crucial information needs improved. Perhaps posting signs throughout the park, especially at the entrance.
Trip hazard on the picnic table concrete where someone cut the chains that held the table in place
Numerous dogs roaming…no leash and no human
Absolutely no privacy from any other campsite as there is no vegetation between campsites
No evening trash pickup so have to store trash created by evening cooking
Gate was not closed overnight
Camp store and water craft rental closed Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday
No wildlife sightings
No park WIFI
No camp hosts
3 bars TMOBILE in A3 campground with no problems live-streaming with TMOBILE hotspot device
I like to stay at Karstens RV Resort. Its full of facilities. Its clean and very attractive place. Their charges are also lower than others and best facilities than other RV parks. I wanna visit again soon. Thank you guys We camped at Karstens RV Resort in a Motor home.
Got to the park around 2:00 PM and pulled up to the stop sign in the second lane to use the bathroom and check in. Found out from a not-so-kind park ranger that we could not park and loiter at the front of the office building. There was a sign to that effect that we missed as most state parks have you park in front of the check in office and there wasn't really anywhere else to park with our 39' fifth wheel in tow. Check in was alright, but there was confusion concerning our Texas State Park passes for Disabled Veterans, which we both received a few years ago at another Texas State Park. For our stay here, only one person's pass was accepted and that pass was good for 1.5 people. Another employee thought we should each be covered with our passes and tried to add the additional pass in the system, but since we were camping, versus day use in a car, we could only use one. So, we had to pay$7.50 park pass for our 3 nites stay. Then she had to show the young man checking us in the rule book that showed we were entitled to the pass even though we were non-residents. This is the first time our passes weren't accepted to cover us both. After that we headed to pull through site 21 with FHUs but only 30 AMP. The wood posts and trees in this site determine how/where you park your rig. We needed our 15’ sewer hose and used a donut as there’s no screw in for the sewer connection. Water pressure was okay at around 40 psi. We got quite a few OTA channels and 3 bars on Verizon having no problem with internet and making calls using our MiFi. Most of the sites here are very spacious and well laid out so your neighbors are not close to you. Site 21 is one of the most spacious and we had no problem fitting our 39’ 5th wheel and F-450 on the pad. The restrooms/shower house in the RV area was clean and there was ice for sale at that location. What we really enjoyed about this park was the abundant hiking trails that interweave with each other. We thought the golf course in the park would be open, but it had been sold to a private owner and would hopefully open to the public in a month or so. The camp hosts were very friendly and helpful. Overall, we enjoyed our 3 night’s stay.
