What you should know
Long-term vs. overnight options: Many parks primarily serve extended-stay residents. At Texas Station RV Park 2, one visitor observed, "This place is mostly filled with perms, but there were 5-6 empty sites to pick from." Another noted it's "basically full hookup parking lot within a storage facility."
Limited tent camping: Most facilities near Moody cater exclusively to RVs. Regarding Tranquil Gardens RV Park, a visitor reported, "It does not accept tent campers at all!! It looked like a nice enough campground for those traveling by RV with a lot of amenities, but a bit small."
Reservation requirements: Advance booking becomes essential during peak seasons. "To stay at this park make sure you make reservations ahead of time. While there is plenty of space, they do fill up and reservations will ensure your stay especially during the more populated seasons," advises a Flat Creek visitor.
Tips for camping with families
Community amenities: Salado Sky RV Park offers regular social activities. "They host campfires regularly which was super fun! Many of the people there have become our friends," shares a long-term guest. These gatherings provide opportunities for children to meet other young campers.
Bathroom distance: Consider site location relative to facilities. At Flat Creek RV Resort, a camper noted, "From our site to the bathhouse was 3 tenths of a mile." This distance might prove challenging for families with young children, especially at night.
Access codes: Some parks restrict facility access after hours. A Texas Station RV Park 2 visitor cautioned, "Rented space and realized that had to have code for bathroom after hours, so couldn't use." Confirm all access details upon check-in when traveling with children.
Tips from RVers
Leveling requirements: Site conditions vary across parks. At Texas Station RV Park 2, a visitor reported, "Our site was level and it looked like most were." Meanwhile, a Flat Creek RV Resort guest noted, "It is a gravel site, so we did have to do some leveling when we got there."
Electrical capacity: Most RV sites near Moody provide 50-amp service. "Full hookups big rig friendly," confirms one Flat Creek RV Resort guest, while another adds, "Easy pull-thru sites" – important considerations for larger rigs with higher power demands.
Overnight convenience: When using the area as a travel waypoint, look for pull-through sites. "So level we didn't even have to unhook. Very reasonable $55 for full hookups and a convenient place to spend the night," reports a North Crest RV Park visitor who arrived late and departed early the next morning.
