According to feedback on The Dyrt, "There's no problem finding this campground as it is right off I-10 adjacent to a Valero gas station. Our site was plenty long enough for our 40' 5th wheel and F450." Reservation policies differ between parks - some require advance booking while others operate on a first-come basis with self-registration via drop boxes.
