    On The Lake RV Resort

    Fantastic lake views & great on-site restaurant

    Our sites were amazing with gorgeous lake views with sunsets for dayyyys!  The on-site restaurant had good cocktails and great food. We went during the winter (November, right before Thanksgiving), so didnt do any of the swimming/water activities. Super nice staff and all around great time. Clean park. We will definitely be back!

    Northshore RV Resort on Lake Livingston

    JUST YIKES.

    TLDR:  Dirty, overpriced, bait n switch offerings, NOT an RV Resort.

    This was the most disappointing RV park I've ever been to. It is marketed and priced as an "RV resort"....It is not. We had a good time because we had good company but this place was the butt of a joke...We went for Memorial Day weekend. (A holiday weekend) The kids couldn't play in the grass because it was so tall. One of the permanent campers (there are many permanent RVs) came by and asked if we wanted to borrow a mower..not kidding. It was sweet of him to offer, but we paid $73/night!  Just yikes.

    We were also warned not to go down to the beach area because it was destroyed by waves and there were water snakes everywhere.  We were taken aback at the overall "resort" and could only laugh at how absurd it was lol.

    The pool was packed with locals (It was a holiday weekend though, so I'll give them that one).  The lady at the check in was super rude and was put out by us checking in. Overall, I would NEVER come back here. We camp at expensive places and state parks and everything in between. I've never written a bad review for a campsite, because I've never found a place that was this terrible. Had it been priced accordingly, I would've been ok with it, but this is NOT a resort and shouldn't be a resort price! Yikes.

    There was more that I'm probably forgetting...but some other highlights: The splash pad didnt work. The kiddos said the playground was gross and sketchily creaking.  There is no clubhouse. Oh, also, the infinity pool pictured on the website is 100% not the same pool that is there.  There are many other campsites on the lake...go to any other one!

    PICS SHOW THINGS FROM THEIR WEBSITE THAT DON'T EXIST OR ARE VERY MISREPRESENTED...In short...Book something else. I hope they get their act together, but their website is bait n switch.

    Thousand Trails Lake Conroe

    Great location with access to Lake Conroe, Nice Sites, we had a great time!

    We went to watch the Eclipse in October, it was great weather, no clouds.  We had a great time.  Our RV site was roomy and there were a few sites surrounding us that were not occupied, which allowed us to spread out, kicking soccer balls and throwing footballs.  The kids loved it.  The boat launch is nice, we didn't have any watercrafts but will maybe try to bring a kayak or canoe next time we visit.  

    The location is not far from The Woodlands and Houston, and other attractions.  But still in a quiet area.

    Nice, friendly, clean, and convenient campground will visit again

    We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The setting is peaceful and convenient. Our site was right in the stock pond. It seems the campground is mostly full time residents which isn’t bad. We wished there were more amenities as it’s a Holiday site. The pool was nice and the hot tub. Our kids were disappointed that there was no bounce pillow as it was damaged. We will still visit this location again when visiting friends. The staff was super friendly and very attentive.

    New Name, but fantastic place to stay!

    We had a wonderful 1 night stay camping here! When the new owners took over, they did change the name to "Made in the Shade" so if you go to the website listed here it will reroute you to the correct page!

    My partner is cycling the country and this is a great spot to stop for the night on the Southern Tier Bike route. We loved socializing with the owners & locals and others staying at the park, cooling off in the [well-kept] pool, and appreciated the good water pressure of the showers! 100% recommend. Thanks again for everything!

    Our favorite TX Thousand trails!

    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!

    First and foremost Cameron and his wife are literally the kindest most loving people we have met at a site. The daily popcorn with a different flavor each day was something my wife and I looked forward to. The park is EXTREMELY clean and well taken care of.

    What an amazing place. Beautiful Lake and Beach.

    We went there for the first time and were amazed to discover such an awesome place, only 20 minutes from our new home in Houston.

    The staff was great and the accommodations were clean and comfortable. They have an indoor and an outdoor hot tub that overlooks the lake.

    We had so much fun.

    It was surprisingly affordable as well.

    We will definitely return.

    Highly recommend to anyone looking for an awesome resort close to Houston.

    Save your hard earned money

    Charged me more then what I confirmed on the phone and when asked, she said it was because I was next to the lake (which I didn’t ask for). Hardly a lake! More like a swamp which my dog couldn’t swim in hence the reason I booked a lake campground. My site had dog poop piles, Pool closed at 8pm as I was walking up which was long before it got dark and wifi worked for a total of 5 mins. Bathrooms were dirty and shower leaked everywhere all over my stuff (no benches to put stuff on). Water from tap at site not potable and there’s red ants everywhere (toes are so swollen this morning full of bites). Not worth the $65 I paid

    Eastlake RV Resort

    Nice place but not family friendly

    I will start off by saying overall its very nice place with adequate space to fit most RV sizes. Now with that said, our stay was far from the experience we booked/paid for. First, we booked online and for whatever reason their site changed our reservation dates to -2 days than what we booked for, which we did not discover until we arrived and could not get in. Luckily a gentleman from their sister site answered pur after hours call and got us fixed up.

    Originally this particular site was advetised as being family family which it is not. This place is very much tailored to longterm RV/campers who are 55+. 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. This was not advertised on their site when we booked with them, and so our kids were mature kiddos were forced to be babysat during their vacation.

    Secondly, most of the staff are rude and when we tried to be polite and be patient with them, they still treated us like we were trash to them - they are only respectful and friendly with the longterm RV/campers.

    In summary, I would NOT recommend this place to families with kids under 16, and honestly even if your kids are over 16, the staff would probably still tell you, they cannot be left alone.

    Nice but lacks in a few things

    The dog park is horrible. It’s all sand and no bag dispenser like other “luxury” resorts have had. The internet is not good at all…tv cut out every two minutes. Nice pool. No trash pick up on Memorial Day and the dumpster was overflowing by that afternoon. Site 55 is NOT for RVs over 36 feet. We have a 42 ft fifth wheel and it was horrible trying to get into the spot.
