Safe overnight
We are headed south. I look for spots close to interstate. The park is clean, well kept and no appearance of lost long timers. The attendant put us in spot 59 across the street from the dog park. But more importantly a big open field with a walking path around it. Made our fur babies happy. I get in a hurry when we are moving again so we did not try the breakfast. I'm sure it was great. Definitely, a place to stop along Texas I-35 south of Dallas.

Family Fun
This typically isn’t our type of park but the kids enjoyed it. We went in October and they had some fun Halloween activities. Site was pull through but pretty tight and close to neighbor. Probably worth paying for premium. Nice large dog park and clean restrooms/bathhouse.

Very Nice Spot
Was there attending races at HoT Speedway. Propane refill, nice driveway, easy to navigate campground, two dog parks, lots of open land to go roam, pool.
Oh yeah, breakfast is AWESOME! We payed more than if we woulda gone out because we were so impressed. But, it was technically free breakfast.

Great place to stay!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐**Wonderful Stay at Whitney Rose RV Park!⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐** Our experience at Whitney Rose RV Park was nothing short of fantastic! The park offered spacious and well-maintained RV sites that provided a comfortable retreat during our stay. The amenities were excellent, including clean showers, reliable WiFi, and a fantastic dog park that our furry companion thoroughly enjoyed. The atmosphere was friendly and welcoming, with fellow RVers sharing stories and enjoying the peaceful surroundings. We had a great time exploring the nearby hiking trails and taking part in the various activities the park offered. Whitney Rose RV Park provided us with a relaxing getaway, and we look forward to visiting again soon.

Well kept RV Park
Well kept RV Park with friendly staff. This park sports an "old side" and "new side". It offers covered sites (extra cost), propane fill station, dumpsters, bath/toilet houses, laundry room, dog park, pool with sun or shaded seating, small storefront, WiFi & cable, free waffle breakfasts on the weekends and a fishing pond. Located just off the highway makes for an easy commute for work or adventures. Some of the sites are quite cramped. It took 20 minutes to get into our spot due to many trees and other campers/ vehicles. Spent one week here and probably would not stay here again due the very loud traffic noises.
Sybel P.TravelerTreetops RV Resort
Well maintained, Lots of Shade
The park was well maintained and had lots of amenities. Quite the community feel. Our spot was 171 and was very well shaded, the only thing is our trailer was level but we felt like we were leaning back. We were by the dog park but only experienced bad smell once. The staff was nice, friendly and helped us back in as we are still newbies.
