What campers like
Shade coverage: Treetops RV Resort offers mature trees throughout the property. One camper mentioned, "We had the pleasure to stay there during a time to celebrate our friends life. The people that worked there were very friendly and always asked if there was anything they could do. Truly a great place for the money and close to anything you would ever need."
Clean facilities: Multiple campgrounds maintain their shower and restroom facilities. A visitor at Cowtown RV Park shared, "The facility is a bit dated, reminds me of the parks my family traveled to when I was a kid, but clean and accommodating. The showers were in need of updated shower heads but other than that it was nice."
Privacy between sites: Varies significantly between properties. A camper at Treetops RV Resort noted, "The trees are beautiful and add great shade. Most of spaces are pull through and very easy to setup at. We had a fire pit and picnic table."
What you should know
Reservation timing: Most parks fill quickly during peak spring and fall seasons. At Northlake Village RV Park, a reviewer observed, "From my own observations, it looks like this particular park caters to long term rentals more than it does short term. While staying here we met a few 'residence' who had been there for months."
WiFi performance: Varies widely across campgrounds. A Northlake Village camper reported, "It was disappointing to discover that the FREE WiFi didn't work. The office was not open due to the holiday, or perhaps Covid. So, I didn't bother to see if it could be fixed."
Site surfaces: Most parks offer concrete pads. At Cowtown RV Park, a camper noted, "Level concrete camp spots. The FHUs were in good working order. We would stay here again for even more than a day."
Weather considerations: Summer temperatures regularly exceed 100°F. Sites with shade become premium during hot months. "We really enjoyed this park. It's very clean and quiet. The trees are beautiful and add great shade," shared a Treetops visitor.
Tips for camping with families
Pool availability: Several parks maintain swimming pools for summer use. A camper at Settlers Haven Mobile Home & RV Park mentioned, "The sites are level and easy to get into. The manager was really nice. Electrical, water, and sewer worked well. The dog park next door is nice."
Playground equipment: Limited at many parks. Look for recent reviews mentioning play areas. One visitor at Cowtown RV Park stated, "We stayed for a few nights while traveling through Fort Worth and enjoyed this park. It was a great location, quiet and had a playground for our kids."
Pet-friendly areas: Most parks allow pets with specific designated areas. A Settlers Haven visitor noted, "This is a mixed use RV/Full timer place. It was safe and quiet. This is not a place to chill in to relax and 'camp'. It's perfect if you want to visit friends and will be out most of the time."
Tips from RVers
Level sites: Many parks provide concrete pads requiring minimal adjustment. A visitor to Cowtown RV Park shared, "The slips themselves were concrete and for the most part level. It took us no time to level and have our RV ready to use."
Hookup placement: Full hookups available at most parks. A camper at Lake Life RV Resort noted, "Great spot conveniently located walking distance from Eagle Mountain Lake. It only has seven spots so it's very quiet and well kept."
Site spacing: Varies between parks. At Cowtown RV Park, a visitor observed, "Clean spacious sides, just off the highway but not too close. We spend one night on our way west."
Navigating access roads: Most parks have adequate entry points for larger rigs. A Treetops RV Resort camper mentioned, "The road into the park is only 2 lanes with no shoulder, but as a Michigander I'm finding Texas roads to be interesting."
