        Just 30 minutes from Houston our property is conveniently located off Highway 90

        We offer a cover RV space

        The shelter is 20 feet wide by 60 feet deep and 20 feet tall

        The approach to the space is straight and level and we have plenty of room to drop your trailer or vehicle.

        We are a working farm and we ask that you not enter the animal enclosures and under no circumstances should you trust the goats. The horse is also pretty shady…

        The Preserve RV Resort

        Level spots lots of room

        We have enjoyed our stay at the preserve! Have 3 little boys who enjoy fishing and they have plenty of creeks and ponds near campsites; it isn’t the most luxurious parks but if your looking for a state park feel this place is a home run!

        SAM HOUSTON (Houston/Conroe/Huntsville Area)

        Pond, Swimming, Trails, Shelters, this State Park has it all!

        Campgrounds have a variety of amenities to choose from, including screened shelters, which are great if you get caught in a Texas sized downpour or if the mosquitoes are particularly aggressive, a pond with optional row boat rentals, and swimming spot. There isn't much variation in the trail terrain, though they may cross a stream here and there and have a good deal of tree cover from that hot TX sun. Overall, a great spot that is not too far out of the city to make a nice weekend getaway in the forest.
