What to do
Fishing opportunities: Lone Star Lakes RV Park features a 4-acre private fishing lake where guests can enjoy complimentary fishing. "Free fishing in their 4 acre private lake" is highlighted by a reviewer who also noted the park has "hundreds of large trees that are so welcome in the Houston weather."
Seasonal activities: Holiday celebrations happen at several campgrounds in the area. At Thousand Trails Lake Conroe, campers can enjoy festive events during holiday periods. One camper noted, "The campground is also festive with home-style holiday decorations" when describing their Thanksgiving stay.
Water recreation: During warmer months, swimming pools provide relief from the Texas heat. "Beautiful facilities including main building with laundry, bathrooms, and community area. Pool, hot tub, fishing pond, propane, place to wash your dog, and dog walk" notes a visitor to Northlake RV Resort.
What campers like
Tree coverage: Many campers appreciate the shade provided by mature trees at several parks. A reviewer at Woodland Lakes RV Park mentioned, "Shaded sites, easily accessible and very peaceful. 3 fishing ponds and a great view!"
Clean facilities: Maintained grounds and clean amenities rank high on campers' priorities. At Forest Retreat RV Park, a visitor noted, "Grounds/pool area are well kept; one of the cleanest park grounds I have seen as of late."
Convenient location: The proximity to urban amenities while maintaining a natural setting is valued by many RV campers. "Near Woodlands medical facilities, next to an elementary school, H.E.B. around the corner. Pretty much any cuisine is near by," shares a Woodland Lakes RV Park visitor.
What you should know
Navigation challenges: Some parks have limited turning space for larger rigs. A visitor to Lone Star Lakes RV Park shared their experience: "I provided details that I had a long RV plus a trailer and will need a pull through spot with full hookup. She said it will be no problem getting in but may need help getting out in the morning."
Seasonal weather considerations: Hurricane season can bring heavy rainfall to the New Caney area. "We were lucky to find this place. Location is great as you have several major stores within a mile. This is a wide open park (no trees) but the sites are paved and well spaced," notes a camper at Dunn Right RV Park.
Long-term vs. short-term stays: Many parks cater to both overnight and extended stays. "This campground is more like a residential area. We noticed that many vehicles were gone early on a weekday morning. Many of the 'campers' had potted plants and other items that indicated they were long-term occupants," observed a guest at Rayford Crossing RV Resort.
Tips for camping with families
Check age restrictions: Some RV parks have specific rules regarding children and supervision. A visitor to Eastlake RV Resort cautioned, "Another camp site had teens messing around on the property and instead of addressing it with those campers, the facility/staff sent an email out to everyone saying, ALL kids under the age of 16 are not to be at the pool, using the restrooms/showers, or being outside away from their designated camp site without constant adult supervision."
Look for kid-friendly amenities: Game rooms and recreational facilities keep children entertained. "The central game room, Pool, Air hockey, and board games" were highlighted by a camper at Lone Star Lakes RV Park as features their family enjoyed.
Consider noise factors: External sounds can affect light sleepers. "A little noisy with train tracks and airport nearby," mentioned a reviewer about Northlake RV Resort, which may be important for families with young children.
Tips from RVers
Site selection strategy: For large rigs, calling ahead about specific needs is recommended. "Extremely nice RV park with large spaces and gravel parking area. Spaces are wide and have a picnic table on a concrete pad," noted a visitor to Woodland Lakes RV Park.
Utilities placement: The arrangement of hookups varies between parks. One camper at Woodland Lakes RV Park appreciated that "Electric and water is separated, I hate it when water is on the electrical box!"
Wi-Fi reliability: Internet access varies significantly between parks. "WiFi and cable are free!!" notes a reviewer at Woodland Lakes RV Park, while others mention paying extra for connectivity at certain locations.
