We started with day passes, then graduated to renting out the loft cabins, then tried tent camping, and eventually and recently parked our travel trailer in the reservable RV spaces. All in the same vicinity. Made great memories at each stay.
Pro’s: Best rate in town for military (active, retired, $ disabled). Water is beautiful. Fishing can be fantastic. Lots of water activities available for rent or bring your own. Pet friendly, Great for families, most people are very respectful and wonderful to talk to. Good food and stores nearby. Lots of wildlife. Quiet. Close to town and short drive from San Antonio.
Cons: Hard to get ahold of staff to make reservations. Market is extremely expensive and staff isn’t very friendly. Lost and lots of fire ants.
We recommend it to all of our friends and family and bring them often. We love staying in the loft cabins. Some are pet friendly. We have stayed in the mobile homes on the other side of the lake once but that was not a great experience as our things were stolen off our table and covered patio (on Veterans Day) and they were only left unattended for 15 min or less. The mobile home wasn’t very nice but functional at least.
Scene: family of 5, young boys ages 7,4, and 3 months, two medium/large dogs, and a 21’ travel trailer.
Reservations over the phone, great customer service, was told we were getting the last spot available perfect for our size trailer.
Upon check in things were a little unorganized, we found our spot and instantly realized why it was the last spot. There are 3-4 aisles of rvs parked in rows and then there is spot 32, which is at the end of a row behind and in between two other spots. Basically three trailers will make 3/4 of a square, and space 32 is the bottom of the square. So our awning and front door came out into the center and front door of both our neighbors. We basically had a little courtyard for the three of us, which equaled zero privacy for any of us. Thankfully everyone was really nice, it was just extremely awkward. However spaces 31.32.&33 would be awesome for three families or friends to all be together.
The hook ups are great but our electrical kept tripping and shutting off our A/C which wasn’t fun with a baby inside most of the day . But a small problem in comparison to other things can can go wrong.
There were facilities that were busy but we never explored those so we can’t give a fair rating on that.
Price is ok, but a little high for what you get. Or didn’t and in our case, even a little privacy would have been worth more money.
The grounds are kept ok, a little bit of trash here and there, management is just okay, very nice but very unorganized.
The walk to the river was short and fairly easy, and my kids absolutely loved it. It was shallow enough for them to sit down and ride some baby currents.
Overall, nice two night stay in our trailer, and in the water but being so packed in was a huge turnoff.
