    Whitney Rose rv park

    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.

    Blue Sky I-35 RV Park

    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.

    North Texas Jellystone

    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.

    Blue Sky I-35 RV Park

    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.

    Magnolia RV Resort

    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.

    Northside RV Resort

    Pretty nice but very expensive

    Nice hard sites all with 20/30/50a, cable TV, and full hookups. There are 4 washer and dryers and showers for all 124 spots. So it’s iffy getting one - no place to hang your clothing in the bathrooms and or wash area. The bugs are bad here, we had ants in our trailer and lots of bites. When it rains stay on the pavement as the mud is nasty and gumbo. The road is very loud and there are train tracks with train horns blaring all night long - make sure your bedroom faces away from the road for the best sleep. The people are very friendly and responsive - while we were there the internet and water was off a lot. Management is not on site and so lots of things were going on at night. No security or patrols. Over all I would stay again for a short stay to visit family, but $55-65 a night was pretty high considering there is zero to do here , no pool, no meeting rooms, no grass to walk on. Two dog parks and one small play ground for kids.
