Decent little RV Park by Lake Waco. We stayed here during 20-degree weather in December, and it was½ vacant. It seems like it would be a happening lake party spot in the summer since it’s close to the marina with a bunch of docked house boats. Our indoor cats loved the birds and the deer that walked by our back window. You must use the gate code to both enter and leave the property. We had low water pressure during the freeze, and it came back normal after the temperatures came back up. We had a consistent issue with our electricity having high and low voltage. Our Watchdog surge protector was reading as high as 132 during the evening and drop below 110 during the day. The sign on the bathroom building says you can’t come and go after 11pm. That’s something that would be important for us to know since we travel for work and some of our contacts are night shifts.
If I'm in the area again, I will be coming back to the Jetstream RV Resort. We stayed here mid-September- December 2022 and the RV park was formerly known as Advanced RV Resort. There seems to be another Advanced and Jetstream RV Park in the area so make sure you are looking at the correct place. During my stay, the RV Park was going through a big remodel. Any reviews you have read prior to 2023, might not apply anymore. This is the correct website: https://jetstreamrvresortpearland.com/
For starters, it's tight getting into the RV Resort from the main road. You do not want traffic on your butt when you are trying to make the turn in from the road. Then when you get in, it's still tight until you make it to the office to check in. The front of the RV Park is by the toll road, and you can hear the traffic. We were in site 223 in the back, by the city park, and we could barely hear any vehicle noise. We couldn’t hear anything when our AC was running. The front and the back of the RV Park seem to be two different experiences. The area is relatively safe. There is a police officer or two, and a police dog, that live at the RV Park. There was one break-in that we heard about during our stay. The RV Park is off a service road so there isn't any foot traffic on the main road. The city park it cleared out and shut down by the police every night so there aren’t any people roaming around after dark. You can walk right out of the RV Park to the city park through a gate in the back corner. The city park has a 2 mile and 6+ mile walking path. It seems to be the only real place to get out and exercise in the area.
The RV Park staff is great, and the property is well taken care of. During the renovations, they are adding tiny homes, a community fire pit, golf putting green, hanging string lights, kids play area, a new dog washing station, gym, and a beer garden. All of this was in the works during our stay, so we didn’t get to see it completed before leaving. They also have onsite laundry with change machines, bathrooms, clubhouse, propane and pick up your garbage. You are allowed get mail delivered. During our stay, all mail and packages were delivered to the office since they were in the middle of renumbering all the sites. Normally, you go to the office to pick up USPS and all over deliveries go to your RV site. The office doesn’t tell you when mail arrives, you need to track your packages or go check the office.
If you don't have an EZ Pass or RV Toll Pass, you'll want one if you must drive during rush hour. The traffic is THICK and there were accidents almost every day on our way to and from work. The toll pass helped us make it to work on time instead of sitting in a daily traffic jam due to the most recent fender bender or rollover. There are plenty of stores to shop at and they are all very close. Walmart, HEB, Kroger, Sam's Club are all within a few miles. Plus, the area has pretty much every other chain store or restaurant you can think of.
This campground is right in the middle of all the fun happening in beautiful East Tawas. The RV park is right on the beach and takes about 1 minute from the furthest campsite until your toes are in the sand. You can walk to downtown and eat at several restaurants, go to the movies, walk to Walmart and get ice cream from 3 different locations. We stayed here in October-December in the off season and there was barely anyone here but I assume in the summer this place is pack and loud with people enjoying the nice weather and all the fun things to do in the area.
Things to consider before camping here:
They do not take reservations, it’s first come, first serve. Once you arrive and can keep the site as long as you want by continuing to pay for it. You will not get a spot on the beach, those people aren’t giving up their prime locations.
If you are coming for the weekend, have a backup plan because I don’t see how you would find a spot at 6pm on a Friday. Several sites are rented yearly and have steps and shed on their spot.
37’ is the longest length recommended. We have a 42’ 5th wheel and made it fit only because we were here during the off-season. There’s no way we would of got the RV in if people had the vehicles parked in their campsite or on the road.
On October 15th, the rates turned to seasonal and people can rent the spots to store their RV for the winter. We arrived on 10/12 and on 10/15 most of the available spots to rent were taken by people paying to store their RV. We are glad we arrived when we did because the few spots that are kept open for people to actually stay at the campground would not fit us.
The city turns the water off around the 3rd week in October. There is one bathroom building open for showers and you can also get water from the side of the office building to fill your tanks. You still have electricity and sewer at your site.
Last, there is a train. A very LOUD, slow moving train that blows its horn around 22 times when it goes by. When we were here, it ran Monday-Friday and went by twice between 9:30pm-12:30am. The train tracks are right across the road from the RV Park so the closer you are to the road, the louder the train will be.
If you are looking for a safe, affordable RV park with level sites, you’ll want to stay at the brand-new Parkside RV Park. The staff is friendly, customer service is great and the park clean!
This RV Park is a new build and opened in 2021. You can tell it was built to overcome the obstacles you find at older RV Parks. The spaces are all level, paved, and long and wide enough to fit your RV and two vehicles. The water, sewer and electrical are all new and work! You can reserve and pay for your site online, do self-check-in and the park emails guest about happenings at the RV Park so you stay informed about current events.
The RV Park has free WIFI, dog waste stations, security camera, streetlights and two washers and dryers for guests to use for free. There are four individual bathroom that can be accessed by a code. Since the landscaping is all new at the RV Park, the trees are not mature enough to provide shade. Once the trees grow, it looks like each RV site will have a tree at the back of the site. You are drop off your garbage in the dumpster on your way driving out of the park or set it out by the road and it will get picked up.
The RV Park was built next to the entrance to the St. Julien Park which holds the Broussard Sports Complex and has a gate for guest to walk into the park. St. Julien Park offers bathrooms, free WIFI, drinking fountains, walking trails, dog waste stations, disc golf, catch and release ponds, security camera and several areas for locals to play sports. It’s a very well-kept park!
Something to consider before arriving. You’ll need a long sewer hose; the sewer hook ups are at the very back of the site. No one mans the office after hours. If a storm rolls through, you only have the 4 bathrooms and laundry room area to seek shelter. The streetlights are on all night for safety, if you like a dark room for sleeping, you’ll want to have blackout shades or wear a sleeping eye mask. I don’t know how you get a picnic table, there were only a few throughout the park at RV sites. This is also not a “party” type RV Park. They ask if you drink outside, to do it discretely.
Very clean and quiet RV park. Most of the sites are taken by people who live here full time in either a moveable RV or a trailer home. We stayed here over New Year’s 20/21 and most people where inside by sunset and not making any noise. Even during the day while people were out, it was still very quiet. The roads coming into the site are narrow and people sometimes have their vehicles parked in part of the roadway which makes it hard to drive your RV around to park it or leave. When security showed us where our spot was, he asked us if we wanted him to ask a resident to move his truck so we could park. The park sells propane onsite which was very convenient, and you can also purchase it if you are not staying at the park. They do allow RV’s that are over 10 years in good condition.
Bobcat Creek RV Park is a peaceful, well-kept property that won’t empty your bank account if you decide to stay the night, an entire week or a full month. They even have online booking!
The RV Park is located in the small town of Sayre, Oklahoma and is not far off the interstate. With full hookups and great rates, this family owned and operated park is the perfect spot to get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
They have a walking path, laundry room and free WiFi along with an office/convenience store that has gas, diesel and propane exchange. Even with being close to I-40, the road traffic is only a light background noise.
The city of Sayre has a grocery store, two truck stops, RV/Truck self-wash bays, propane refill and fast food options. There are two local parks to take the family to and burn off some energy. If you need more big city options like restaurants or a Walmart, Elk City is a quick 15 minute drive down the freeway.
Nice park. It’s not fancy and not run down. I was a little hesitant to come here (during Covid-19) based on the reviews. The more I looked into the reviews, I realized most of the bad reviews are for a different RV Park.
Most people who stay here are coming for Elvis Presley’s Graceland tour. The RV Park is great if you are doing the same. If you’re not, there’s not much to do here and the spots are close together.
You can walk right from the RV park to the museum. There’s a private gate from the campground to leads to the museum so you don’t have to drive anywhere.
The camp ground is clean, they’ll come and pick up your trash and take it to the dumpster and the staff is very friendly and accommodating. We needed a packaged delivered for work and it arrived before we did and the office would be closed by the time we pulled in the gate. They left it outside of the office door for us per our request.
I felt completely safe at the camp ground. They a have a 24-hour security guard at the entrance and you must sign-in to enter the property. While my husband was at work in downtown Memphis (Main & 2nd) his truck window was broken out and the person went through the truck. It happened right next to the job site, caught on camera and no one saw it happening. It took 15 minutes total for the break-in to occur. The same thing happened to two other workers from the same crew the week before. The police don’t come out and investigate. Be careful and don’t leave anything valuable in your vehicle outside of the RV park. From what I’ve researched since our window was busted out, this happens all over Memphis and it doesn’t matter if you are in a good neighborhood or not.
Quiet little RV park located in the backyard of a farm. Family owned, well kept and clean. The lots are well spaced and there are no trees. Offers daily, weekly and monthly lots. It looks like their are 19 spots with a couple being pull-through. There is shower/bathroom and laundry area open 24 hours a day. The property is across from train tracks and the train came through around 8 times a day for about 1 minute and it does blow its horn right before reaching the RV Park. I had my air conditioner running and barely heard it. We stayed here with a 41’ fifth wheel and a F-350 dually truck. It’s a tight turn to get in to and out of RV park but it’s totally doable.
Great little campground. It's small, clean and quiet. You self register for check-in, there's a bathroom building with 3 stalls and two showers(women) and hot water. We purchased an RV site($20) even though we were camping in a tent so our truck and trailer would fit and it comes with water and electricity at the camp site. Each campsite comes with a picnic table and fire ring. The ORV Route is right outside the campground entrance and you can ride to the trail. You can also get ice and gas at the gas station in town by taking the alley. We stayed again in 2020 in Our RV. They have 4 pull through sites with full hook-ups;$25 a night. 50/20 amps, high water pressure.
Great campground!
Book early to get a spot. It’s clean, quiet and caters to riders. It has a shower building, 2 washers and 2 dryers, restaurant, store (only open certain hours), ice, dump station and 91 octane fuel on site. There is direct trail access from the property, and they provide a free ORV hand washing station and air for tires. There is free WIFI for guests and you can also purchase a faster internet speed. I love that the campsites are not on top of each other and there are trees between the neighboring campsite. They cut tress branches to clean open spots for RVs. Most sites have water/sewage and 30 or 50amp service. There is a dog run in the back of the property for small dogs.
