The park is wonderful. Big. One of the two pools on the property provides a lovely view of the lake and a hot tub.The recreation hall is beautiful and has a lot of activities. Throughout the week, food trucks and other vendors visit the premises.Sites are spacious. The staff is very friendly. well-kept park BUT, it's right next to Highway 75.We were fortunate to have a site on the opposite side of the lake, farthest from 75, and the noise was no problem. The sites are assigned to you prior to arrive by text. But not on the other side of the lake. And to think, some of the sites on that side(along the lake) are Elite and Premium(between the lake sites and the standard sites that are up against 75), while standard and standard are practically backed up to the highway.We had a wonderful site. It was a bit different from the norm as you backed in, but you were parallel to the road you came down. It's different, but it's nice. The ATT hotspot was powerful, and T-Mobile phones are 5G!
Close to plenty of shopping and of course, Anna Maria Island, a must see!
For starters, checking in was easy. The staff is very friendly. Amenities(laundry, pool, game room, rec hall, etc.) are ok. The sites are, for the most part, spacious. However, when it rains, it becomes muddy, and some areas(such as our site) retain water for several days afterwards. Normally, this is not a big deal, but we were there when Nicile came through and it was wet. Thank goodness the storm wasn't too bad for that area. Nearby shops and such are within 10 miles(gas, groceries, restaurants, flea markets, etc.). Overall, a nice park, but I wouldn't go during the rainy season in Florida. Even humans can stroll along the fence and talk to cows. The highway near here quiets down later in the evening, and the park is very quiet after hours.
We have stay at this park twice in the last 2 years. Each time for a week. This year 90% of the park was up and running by late December when we went there. It like so many other parks in the area took quite a beating from Ian during the hurricane season. This is all the standard amenities you find a campground. All the activities like shuffleboard and such surround the activity center. Located pretty much in the center of the park. Down aways you'll find a big laundry mat, equipped with eight washes eight dryers, ironing board, TV, and even a long counter across from the machines to fold your clothes on. The park is quiet at night even though it's close to 27. Our AT&T hotspot was strong as well as our T-Mobile telephone. Another Plus is just outside of the entrance about a hundred yards is smoking Joe's probably the best pulled pork you'll have in the state of Florida. The price was very reasonable, I believe it was$270 for seven nights. Full hookup. Will be back.
We only stayed one night as we were traveling to the Northeast. What a great find. Pleasant helpful workers as well as spacious sites. Pull thru sites available. We had one and it made for an easy stay. Did not use any amenities but did enjoy an relaxing evening by the pond on a beautiful spring day. Definite a perfect place to relax from the country store porch with rocking chairs to the shaded tress allowing for a peaceful walk around the park. And you can even meet their pony, Flash. Will be stopping by again!
ATT WIFI hotspot great and T-Mobile phone as well.
Campground offers free WIFI as well
This is a Thousand trails Trails collection. Nice size park. We stayed for a couple of days as we prepped for our trip to the Northeast. One thing that separates them for the other campgrounds is the unique style they have of getting you to your spot. You follow a person to your spot and they then stretch a rope for you to back along to make sure your at the farthest from one side to give both you and the next site all the space allotted to your site. Nice touch.
Sites are all full hook up.
Att and T-Mobile Hotspots and phones were perfect, no issues.
We did not use the laundry and the pool but both looked clean and well kept. Staff was very helpful and friendly.
Road noise was heard during the day by late in the evening things quieted down nicely.
Easy in and out for any size rig.
This is a thousand trails RV resort. the road to the campground is fine. The campground is an older one and bigger rigs will find it a bit of a challenge to get into areas, especially the area where there is just water and electric. That is another issue, most of the park is water and electric. Lucky for us we usually come into this park early in the season or latter.
There is an area near the lake that has pull thru sites with WES setups 200 to 323 ( some small cabins and tiny houses are included in this number set ), I believe there is 31 total, all 50 amp, 22 are pull thru.
The camp sites from #1 thru 174 are 30 and 50 amp setups and the area is tight to maneuver thru you are definitely going to work at getting bigger rigs in and also, leveling is a bit challenging in some spots. But 90% are in partial shaded areas making it a comfortable feel once settled in.
Our ATT and T-Mobile hotspots worked as did the cell service ok. Most of the amenities were closed as it was early in the season. I will say, the laundry is small for this big of a campground. They were also doing work on the office but that is supposed to be completed soon. All in all, the views of the Lake are spectacular and there is plenty to see and do during the peak season for families.
They have a separate dump station as well as a dumpster area as you first enter the park.
We used it as a 3 day stop on our way up to the Northeast. It is a ways from 95 and all but well worth it. peaceful and as stated very big. If you have a boat and or love to fish this is great place. Other then that, not much was happening while we were there. But to be fair it was spring time and this looks like a campground that is rocking in the summertime.
Our ATT hotspot was fine and our phones which are on the T-Mobile
Added a few pics to give you an idea.
What's not to like. Beautiful, family owned campground. Large spacious and clean well organized sites. Picnic tables and BBQ grills on sites. Pull thoughts. Winery with taste testing hours and wine to purchase. 2-0/30/50 amp service. Dog run, wireless internet, laundry, pool, bath house with oversize showers, covered stage, art gallery/ gift shop, propane, playground, fishing pond, scheduled events.
T-mobile phone and hotspot work well
ATT hotspot ok
This campground is ok for an overnight stay. There is annuals and seasonal all through the campground. We were in a section behind the office. Set up was on grass. you picked your own spot. Was level and power was fine ( we use 30 amp ) Some areas have shade and some are in the open. Keep in mine this is Georgia so check for red any's. A couple spots we decided not to take as the ants were right next to water/ electric hookups. You can see they try and keep the any population down, but if you lived in the south you know that's an everyday chore.
Had a beautiful sunrise as it is next door to a horse ranch of sorts.
We used their laundry and it was fine. $2 a machine.
Our ATT hot spot nomad internet was strong
Cell phone signal was 4 bars ( T-Mobile )
Road noise sleep able from I75 nearby.
Easy on off to this campground
We stopped for 3 nights as we were heading south to Florida and wanted to see Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg and due to the time of the year, everything around those areas were booked. Well the pics Passport America has of this place is no doubt when it was first built. I guess from talking with the campground personal this place has recently been bought and is under rebuilding. There is plenty that needs done. When we arrived we had to call the other campground that books this place as well to get someone over to us. There was an office but looked like no one been in there for some time. There is a pool close to the road, somewhat clean, water was clear. The campground itself had some annuals as well as others that were there for a month or two ( working in the area ) I have to say they were very friendly and helpful getting someone to us to help. Mind you we came in with 3 rigs all over 32'. Power and location was sketchy. We had no issues to speak of for the 3 days and in the evening, even near Interstate 40 it was quiet enough. Hopefully the new owners can get things back in order. Its only 30 minutes from Pigeon forge.
Laundry available, just a couple machines. Bathhouse, yes but…….
our ATT Internet strong ( Nomad )
Passport America $22 night
First and foremost, if you have a rig over 30' book only sites between #12 and #16 by the bathhouse. All the others are too small or hard to back a bigger rig into. All are back in spots and be prepared to drive up and down a couple of steep ( but paved ) roads. Once settled into this campground you will definitely enjoy yourself. From eating on your own private deck ( fire pit and BBQ too ) to the serenity of the lake below. Have a canoe or Kayak a added blessing. We were there for just a night as we were traveling to Florida. Although fine for a night, due to getting to the campground from the highway to setting up, a couple days or more time there is more suitable. We have Nomad internet and it worked fine for my computer and our tv's, not the strongest but workable. After a beautiful sunset, a knock on our door camp from the camp host who informed us they were told a tornado had touched down 11 miles NE of us and heading SE. So all the campers headed to the bathhouse where we chat and socialized for about an hour or so till the storm past. Good to see the State and the camp host are looking out for their campers!
30 and 50 amp service with water.
No sewers but has a easy access dump station before the camp sites.
I used to live in the area and never realized this place was here. We came across it accidentally. Passport America you can get it for $25 a night cash. There's a few old campers lying about ( talk of removal ) and a handful of weekend campers. The owner Scott is very friendly and knowledgeable. The grounds are well kept but like I said everything is dated. I believe he's trying to slowly update everything. It's about 10 minutes off of exit 19 from the Thruway and the same from exit 20 off Thruway. Rig size is definitely limited primarily due to the entrance. Rig size is 35 ft. There's a men's and women's room we didn't use them. That's about it for amenities. If you want to just be in a nice laid-back area, this camp is perfect. Distant road noise from the NYS Thruway is constant but not annoying. Also a train off in the distance can be hear from time to time, but we had 4 very pleasant restful days and nights. We have ATT hotspot that worked good enough to stream tv and computers. Cell service for Verizon is weak too. We use our hotspot to assist the phone service and it was fine. Has a dumpster. Power is limited to 30amp. At present no 50 amp service to date.
We came into this park on the 4th day of the big Texas freeze this past winter. Unfortunate for them, pipe broke and they were out of water at the time. But it was fixed a couple days after we arrived.
Now as for the park. It has a section of 30 amp services which are in some shades and are on concrete, a newer area in the park has been created which for the most part is in a field, with new 50 amp service and are on grass. All sites have water and sewer as well. There are seasonal/annuals in the park I would say about 25% of 30amp service is. If you choose to be one, you need to go to the town and get a permit otherwise there is a two week limit to camp here.
We use ATT on Nomad Internet and Verizon & T-Mobile on our phones, ATT Wi-Fi was 4 bars and our phones were each 3 bars and no issues with any of the services,
There is bath house located in the center of the park as you come into the entrance. The park is on a "park and hook up and then pay" system. After setting up to go to the front of the bathhouse and leave a check or cash into a box. The city of Yoakum maintains the park and it is well kept. Garbage dumpster is free and available as well. There is a playground for kids as well as right next to a full size golf course. So you could get into your golf cart and right over to the clubhouse while never getting on a roadway. The cost is very cheap, we paid $13 a night with senior discount, regular price is $15 That is FHU!! You will hear a plan or two during the day as there is a small airport down the street, but the low flying small planes are not too disturbing. The town of Yoakum is 5 minutes from your location and it has a Family dollar and a H.E.B as well as a few cool shops.
If your ever out that way and need a place to stay that is friendly, clean and quiet for the most part, you won't be disappointed.
When we usually make the trek rom NY to Florida or the other way around, this is one of the stops we stay at for a couple reasons. one it's the round about way we go to avoid Washington and the other major cities on 95 in that area and two, it's a PA stop so it is $21 a night. Cheap for the surround areas prices.
The campground is located in the rear of a Trailer park. Both are well kept. Both are mostly filled with full timers, but there is a section that is used for passer byes. No real amenities that we have used as we rarely stay more then a day.
If your in the area, its a good overnight stop. For the most part quiet at night as towards the later evening the highway about a 1/2 mile away quiets down.
Well kept, wooded sites on a mountain. No lake in site. Standard amenities, like pool, hot tub, laundry, outdoor games a community fire pit etc.. Small store as well. 5 minutes to town. Sites are large in most cases. All have fire pit and picnic table, some have bbq grill too. We are only here for a couple days but get a feeling it's a great place to take a family for that weekend camping experience.
Older campground. Could us a bit of updating. Sites are level. Little pond in front to fish. If your there on the weekend like us, it's a short walk to the Flea market in front. ( Office for campground is in Flea Market. There is a camp host as well. Also has rest rooms and showers. We enjoyed the flea market and was a restful night.
We arrived late December and it was chilly. Sites with full hook up are limited, but even with annuals are still possible. One thing though, we found a great site (124 ) very close to the water which is a plus for us as my wife is disabled and needs a walker so if the water is too far it becomes and issue, but had to pay $3 more a night due to it being as they said a limited 50 amp service. Even though we are 30, still the cost is $3. With my wife issue it is a no brainer for us. All in all, the campground was quite, you can see when it is summertime, its a wonderful place to bring the family as it has a huge area for kid activities, family gathering and more.
One big issue with this park is the distance to the actual lake itself. You will need a cart or be ready for a hike to the beach area as it is quite a ways from the campground. that is an issue for us as my wife is disabled and needs a walker and we have no cart. But, lucky for us we were in the B section and decided one of the days we were there to attempt the picnic walk. Well worth it, even with a walker we managed to make it down to the waters edge within 15 minutes and its an easy gradual walk. Bring a picnic basket. tables to sit at or on the waters edge.
As for the rest of the camp, most amenities due to winter months and covid were shut down. Did see people enjoying the hot tub. The roads in many of these TT campground in the loop around Dallas do need attention so take your time going through them. We did need to use the laundry and they had ample enough machines and the basic price which was 1.50 and 1.75. The sites are nice, many shaded but snug not of other campers but trees. Some have fire pits, some do not. As with more and more campgrounds these days many annuals throughout the park.
We are traveling through Texas, showing my wife all the great places, beauty and people in this fine state. Along our travels to our next TT campground we stopped for two days in this campground just outside LLano, Texas. A great ride out in the country. Besides the quaint town and it's fine shops and restaurants, this pace makes your stay that much more enjoyable. Level pull through sites on gravel, full hookup makes for a fast easy setup. The river is a stones throw away and a great spot to unwind. Sunsets are picture perfect . The evening is "pin drop" quiet. The grounds as well as the laundry, restrooms, etc. a all well kept. You will not be disappointed in this stop nor the shops and food you can find in the town. Well worth the trip off the Interstate and out into the fine country area of Texas.
The river is a beautiful site no doubt. The campgrounds are older and could use a bit of updating. We were close to the river. Was a bit disappointed as when booking through TT website, it said full hook ups when we arrived, only Water and Electric were available. ( reason for the 4 instead of 5 stars }Not a big issue as we were only there for a couple nights and as full-timers, we have a system down pat where our rig could stay off a sewer line for at least 7-10 days. All in all, its a nice place to come and relax, not too much to do if your a family. Clean restrooms and showers.
