RV camping near Splendora, Texas offers spacious concrete sites with full hookups throughout the region. Located in the piney woods of Montgomery County about 35 miles northeast of Houston, Splendora experiences humid subtropical climate with mild winters and hot summers. Summer temperatures regularly exceed 90°F, making shaded camping spots particularly valuable during peak season.
What to do
Fishing opportunities: At Lone Star Lakes RV Park, campers can enjoy free fishing in their private 4-acre lake. As one camper noted, "Free fishing in their 4 acre private lake" is among their favorite amenities, along with "hundreds of large trees that are so welcome in the Houston weather."
Swimming and recreation: Thousand Trails Lake Conroe offers multiple water recreation options with "a large lake and two ponds, a pool, putt putt, & tons of activities for kids!" The campground features boat rentals, a boat launch, and a beach area for families.
Local exploration: The campgrounds near Splendora provide easy access to nearby attractions while maintaining a natural setting. One visitor at Northlake RV Resort mentioned it "feels secluded but it is in a well-populated area" with opportunities for "walking, biking and fishing" right on the property.
What campers like
Well-maintained grounds: Forest Retreat RV Park receives praise for its meticulous upkeep. A reviewer highlighted that "Grounds/pool area are well kept; one of the cleanest park grounds I have seen as of late" and that the park is "easy to navigate; a great plus."
Nature amenities: Campers appreciate the natural features at Woodland Lakes RV Park, with its "shaded sites, easily accessible and very peaceful" environment. The park features "3 fishing ponds and a great view" that visitors frequently mention in reviews.
Quiet atmosphere: Despite proximity to urban amenities, campgrounds in the area maintain peaceful settings. One visitor to Woodland Lakes noted it offers a "nice and quiet" experience while being "near Woodlands medical facilities, next to an elementary school, H.E.B. around the corner."
What you should know
Site selection: When staying at larger resorts, site selection can impact your experience. At Thousand Trails Lake Conroe, "you cannot reserve a specific site. You drive around and pick a site, then call and let them know which one you're in." A camper mentioned "we were looking for a quiet, private site and there are very few of those."
Connectivity services: While many parks advertise WiFi, service levels vary. As one reviewer at Dunn Right RV Park noted, "Wifi available as well as full 30/50 amp hookups," but at Thousand Trails, a camper found that "wifi is a pay-by-the-day only offer" despite being listed as an amenity.
Year-round availability: Most campgrounds in the Splendora area operate throughout the year, making this a viable camping destination regardless of season. However, summer heat makes shaded sites particularly valuable, with one camper noting they "would for sure come back" to Dunn Right RV Park but were "not sure if I'd like to stay here in the middle of summer."
Tips for camping with families
Kid-friendly amenities: Family campers should look for parks with dedicated children's facilities. Northlake RV Resort offers "amenities that may appeal to families with children such as a playground, beautiful pool, hot tub, shuffleboard, horse shoes, and fishing."
Holiday activities: Some campgrounds offer special seasonal programming for families. At Venice On The Lake, amenities include "Children's Playground, Fishing Area, Boat Ramp, Swimming Pool" and various available activities including "Card Games, Crafts, Fishing, Horseshoes, Swimming."
Safety considerations: Families appreciate secure campgrounds in the area. One camper at Northlake RV Resort felt "very safe and secure being here. Comfortable enough to take a walk at 5:30 am!" This peace of mind is important for families with young children.
Tips from RVers
Site dimensions: RV campers should verify site dimensions before booking. At Lone Star Lakes, one RVer cautioned about accessibility: "The driveways and turns are not exactly big-rig friendly as some other campsites" and mentioned having "to do quite a non-fun manouver to get out of there."
Hookup configuration: Check the specific hookup types available. At Woodland Lakes, campers appreciate that "spaces are wide and have a picnic table on a concrete pad. Electric and water is separated, I hate it when water is on the electrical box!"
Extended stay options: Many parks cater to both short and long-term RV campers. Woodland Lakes "features large spaces and gravel parking area" and has "a lot of long term patrons but still a good number of back in and pull through spots available for short-term."
