Stillwater RV Resort

We are traveling in a 40 Motorhome towing a car and are coming up on the end of a 7 month tour of the USA gulf and east coast, now heading home to the Austin TX area, We were directed to an immaculate concrete pad site with full hookups. As it was during the week. and it is mid October the park was about 70% empty, expectations are that it will fill up for the weekend only until the winter months when I would expect the snowbirds arrive. I don't understand the negative reviews, and that is the reason I am writing this, my first review ever. The park has a large lounge with a grill/coffee bar/adult beverage bar, a game room, exercise room, and general store, all of which were brand new and beautiful. There is a small lake with lots of floating things for kids to climb on, a children's pool with lots of water features, a lazy river to float around using provided inner tubes, and an adults only pool with a swim up bar. Restroom/shower/laundry facilities were perfect. The staff was very nice. It is getting cooler here in October, so we were the only folks foolish enough to use the pools today. It is a cashless facility so you wear a bracelet and all purchases for food, drink, or whatever are charged to your credit card on file when you check out. We had great included WiFi and streamed most of out television using it, and our ATT phones were 4  to 5 bars. We are "spoiled" RV'ers used to staying at  pretty much top of the line, no kidding, real RV Resorts and this place certainly fits the bill. Its not cheap for sure, but it is wonderful. We will be returning this coming summer for a few week stay during our next journey. As it is a new facility, there are not a lot of trees for shade by the pads, but they will come as the resort matures I am sure. I recommend this park to anybody looking for a good experience. As a bonus, it is less than 15 miles from Kilgore, the antique capitol of TX.

Dog poop, small litter around every campsite, gnats, grackles and flies are relentless(the gnats are so bad and so think you literally can't open doors without getting invaded, water is dirty, lazy river is so slow you have to paddle around it to move, locals are allowed in when they want extra money and its like Caddyshack Caddy-day in the pool, locals with their beat-up vehicles, dogs, and tatted cousin/wives invade the place, employees and their families use the pool regularly, food is terrible, everything is super expensive, sites are concrete but Not Level, prices on things change constantly with their"specials" so you may pay$80 for a Cabana that changes to half-price at their whim but they don't offer a refund for future days rented, pool furniture cracked and stained, dead animal left on grass for entire week, charged$140 for 2 toddlers(grandkids) that came for 2 days. You know a place is bad if their Refund Policy is NO REFUNDS AT ANY TIME FOR ANY REASON. They clearcut the entire property and its like a airport runway. Oh yeah, and they leave these high-intensity streetlights on 24x7. FINAL WARNING, DO NOT GO TO THIS PLACE. IT'S AWFUL.
