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.

Extremely nice RV park with large spaces and gravel parking area. Spaces are wide and have a picnic table on a concrete pad. Electric and water is separated, I hate it when water is on the electrical box! Internet speed is really good and they have cable TV hookups. Two laundry facilities, multiple dumpsters, kids play area, dog run, and multiple fishing ponds. There are a lot of long term patrons but still a good number of back in and pull through spots available for short-term. If you need to be in the north Houston area, definitely highly recommended.

If I'm in the area again, I will be coming back to the Jetstream RV Resort. We stayed here mid-September- December 2022 and the RV park was formerly known as Advanced RV Resort. There seems to be another Advanced and Jetstream RV Park in the area so make sure you are looking at the correct place. During my stay, the RV Park was going through a big remodel. Any reviews you have read prior to 2023, might not apply anymore. This is the correct website: https://jetstreamrvresortpearland.com/ 

For starters, it's tight getting into the RV Resort from the main road. You do not want traffic on your butt when you are trying to make the turn in from the road. Then when you get in, it's still tight until you make it to the office to check in. The front of the RV Park is by the toll road, and you can hear the traffic. We were in site 223 in the back, by the city park, and we could barely hear any vehicle noise. We couldn’t hear anything when our AC was running. The front and the back of the RV Park seem to be two different experiences. The area is relatively safe. There is a police officer or two, and a police dog, that live at the RV Park. There was one break-in that we heard about during our stay. The RV Park is off a service road so there isn't any foot traffic on the main road. The city park it cleared out and shut down by the police every night so there aren’t any people roaming around after dark. You can walk right out of the RV Park to the city park through a gate in the back corner. The city park has a 2 mile and 6+ mile walking path. It seems to be the only real place to get out and exercise in the area. 

The RV Park staff is great, and the property is well taken care of. During the renovations, they are adding tiny homes, a community fire pit, golf putting green, hanging string lights, kids play area, a new dog washing station, gym, and a beer garden. All of this was in the works during our stay, so we didn’t get to see it completed before leaving. They also have onsite laundry with change machines, bathrooms, clubhouse, propane and pick up your garbage. You are allowed get mail delivered. During our stay, all mail and packages were delivered to the office since they were in the middle of renumbering all the sites. Normally, you go to the office to pick up USPS and all over deliveries go to your RV site. The office doesn’t tell you when mail arrives, you need to track your packages or go check the office. 

If you don't have an EZ Pass or RV Toll Pass, you'll want one if you must drive during rush hour. The traffic is THICK and there were accidents almost every day on our way to and from work. The toll pass helped us make it to work on time instead of sitting in a daily traffic jam due to the most recent fender bender or rollover. There are plenty of stores to shop at and they are all very close. Walmart, HEB, Kroger, Sam's Club are all within a few miles. Plus, the area has pretty much every other chain store or restaurant you can think of.

Staff is very helpful but we had a thousand trails membership so I don’t know the cost

Nice amenities, everything is close, unlike some Thousand Trails. Seemed very up-to-date. Reserved 3 nights and extended for a 4th.

This is more like a mobile home park for RV’s than a camping experience. Each space is a pull through that has a picnic table and full hookups including sewer. Most sites have trees. Most spaces are occupied by long term tenants as evidenced by skirting around the rigs. Evidently several children live here as well. There is a dedicated area to take dogs so they can do their business.
Quite a few speed bumps. No gates so anyone can enter/exit at will. Laundry room and bathrooms have locks. Bathrooms are clean and free hot water. Pool/hot tub were closed. I stayed 3 nights in April. It felt safe, so I’d stay here again. People said hello when walking and waved when they drove by.

Worst thing was the number of speed bumps…useful but not really RV friendly. I’ve added photos, and although I copied them from another source, they are valid photos of what I saw and experienced.

Beautiful and well-maintained campsite. We have been to this RV Resort a few times and have NEVER been disappointed. They literally have thought of everything from daily trash pick-up to refilling propane tanks. All of the staff are absolutely wonderful and very friendly(professional). Every time we are in the area, we will be booking with Hidden Creek RV Resort. Highly recommended!!

Our first adventure into Sam Houston National Forest. Was a great one. Trees all around trails to hike around, full hook ups if you are in an RV or trailer! Tent spots available at all sites!

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!

Love going to bethy creek resort !!! Everyone there is so accommodating happy and helpful. Bethy creek is the only place to camp Rv rent a boat and millions of other things to do. Good clean bathrooms excellent showers excellent store with pretty much everything you need while you stay there. The beautiful picturesque views will ease the stress and relieve the strains of the real world. Excellent WiFi access if you need it and every Rv hookup is perfectly located and easy to use. WE WILL BE GOING BACK FOR YEARS TO COME !!!!

Very nice, secluded spot, located among very tall trees, which give off excellent shade.  Actually very easy to find, and even easier to maneuver through.  This is not your typical RV resort, meaning it is not a concrete jungle, and every amenity known to man.  Besides, your camping (glamping), right?

You can buy a really nice bundle of firewood, and they supply the fire ring. You have a picnic bench right outside your RV too.  As I stated before, I would have easily given Buck Acres 5 stars if they only had a dump station!  It's coming!  There is a trash receptacle on site.

In closing, if you're looking for a nice, clean, and quiet spot to pitch a tent of park your RV, I highly recommend Buck Acres!!
