Great Views!

The camp spots are paved and nicely spaced overlooking the lake. Restrooms/showers were clean and well maintained. There are a few sites with full hookups but most are water and electric. Watch out for afternoon winds and thunderstorms. Free kayak and life jacket use. The dump station for the park was closed and had been for some time so you’ll need to find a place to dump when you leave.

Nice State Park

First trip to this campground and we really liked it. Price was reasonable for electricity and water. Dump station nearby. We have bigger RV so some of the spots would not work. Make sure you use the filter to eliminate those with a smaller driveway. The restrooms were clean with nice showers. This campground is 40 miles or so from the interstate so make sure you are well provisioned before you arrive.

WHAT A BEAUTIFUL RV PARK

Just an overnight stop for us but this newer RV park is really nice.  The campsites are all gravel but they were level.  Restrooms/showers were some of the best I've seen in an RV park.  The town of Helper is nearby and there were some really interesting storefronts on main street.  The price was reasonable (with a discount) but it was still creeping up on $50 a night.  If there was a negative it was during check-in I mentioned that I was a Dyrt Pro member and the young lady behind the counter told me we don't discount for that.  Instead she gave me their "first responder" discount.

Convenient Overnight Stop

Needed a little place for the night. Check in was easy and we were escorted right to our pull thru site. Temperature was supposed to drop well below freezing that night and the staff made sure we were prepared. Perhaps it was the time of year but the office closed pretty early. They do offer a complimentary shuttle service to the big steak house nearby. I guess if you eat the 72oz steak it’s not safe to drive?

Nice RV Park

We needed a place for 3 nights near Bacliff, TX and this was it. When we arrived the office was closed but the maintenance worker escorted us to a site and said we could register later. Pads are all cement with room to park next to your rig. All sites are back so use some spotters to get in safely. Beautiful pool, clean restrooms and showers. We’ve stayed at other campgrounds in the area for less money but none were as nice as this. We paid $40 a night.

Restful but dated

Nice campground close to the interstate but far enough to minimize road noise. The camp sites were well spaced with paved pads. The bathrooms were a little rough. Older cinder block building that really needed to be updated. Price for full hook ups was 32 a night. There is a big flea market close to RV park that is only open on weekends.

Overnight Stop

Needed a spot just for the night. At first it didn’t appear as though this campground is used that much - we were one of 3 campers in the park. Full hook ups for the night was $40. Restrooms were clean, nice laundry room. What I liked most was the lack of ambient light. Went out at night and it was pitch black with sky full of stars. Try the cheese curd they sell in the gas station at the RV park entrance - it was great!

Overnight Stay

Needed a place just for the night and this was available and didn’t charge us the increased rate because the Raiders have a home game. Nice RV park. Restrooms and showers were clean. Staff was helpful. My only negative was the sirens from emergency vehicles on Boulder Hwy. We stayed on a Saturday night and the fire trucks and ambulances were quite active. Casino within walking distance.

Overnight Stop

Didn’t have a reservation but it was a weeknight and they were able to fit us in. We had a W/E site and with discount it was $50 - a little high for us but they are the only game in town. Sites were gravel and level. Water pressure was almost nonexistent when we woke up. Walked to the showers and it was better but still low.

Overnight Stay

Campground doesn’t take reservations so arrive early. Parking spots are gravel, level and nicely spaced. The closer the lake you are the farther away from the restrooms and showers. We aren’t used to sleeping next to train tracks so it was a bit of distraction. There is a commuter stop right next to the camp ground so the whistle blew quite a bit. The showers were nice and restrooms were clean. There were no benches or chairs outside the shower so I had to set my stuff on the floor. We didn’t check out the casino but they do have a shuttle that will take you back and forth. Also, nice golf course!

Overnight Stop

Needed a place to stay for the night and this park was on the way. Front desk staff was very helpful. Park was probably only 30% full. Cost for 1 night was a little high - 50+ with discount. RV pads were gravel but hard packed and level. Restrooms were a little dated but functional. Indoor pool but we didn’t use it. If we were planning a return trip we would stay here again although we would probably call around a do a little price shopping on other parks on the same highway.

Nice Overnight Stop

Needed a place to pull over for the night and this place hit the spot. The staff was really friendly. The campsites were nicely spaced and level. Clean bathrooms with showers and nice little pool. My only negative comment is the campground is right off the highway so we did hear the highway noise during the night but it was manageable for one night.

The Price is Right

We chose this RV park because it was one of the few that had power after hurricane. Full hook ups for 25 a night which was half the price of the other RV parks in the area. RV spots are tight but manageable. It appears that a large percentage of RVs are there on monthly rates. We met one person who was working at one of the refineries which explains the early morning activity with cars leaving. Beautiful little pond in the RV park with a little flock of domestic ducks that live in the pond. There is also a dog park surrounded by water. Restrooms are small but clean. Staff was very helpful. If we were planning a return trip we would definitely stay there again.

Found By Accident

We found this campground as we were avoiding hurricane Nicholas. We didn’t have reservation which was a little bit on an issue as the campground does not accept payment on site. We made our reservation while parked at ranger gate shack. Cell phone reception (t-mobile) was spotty so this was more difficult than it should have been. Reservations are made at recreation.gov. Cost was reasonable, restrooms were functional but heavily used. We were one of only 5 campers in the campground on weekday but I spoke with another camper who said it fills up on the weekend. Campground right on the banks of beautiful reservoir. Watch out for creepy crawlers - found this guy in men’s room. Really enjoyed the antique stores in nearby Jefferson.

Right On The River

Just an overnight stop - we were pleasantly surprised. Our campsite was a pull thru gravel site and it was right on the Mississippi River. We got up in the morning and watched the barges headed up river. The bathrooms are portable trailers - probably so they can be moved when the river rises. If nothing else, it’s worth the price just to sit in the riverbank with a cup of coffee and watch the river.

Nice Place

We stopped in after a day of driving and no campground reservation. The staff went out of their way to accommodate us and found us a spot for the night. It would have been easier for them to just say “We’re full” they could see we were spent. The restrooms and showers were nice. Total cost for the night was $33. We will definitely stay again if we’re ever down this way.

Great Place to Stay

Very nice campground at reasonable price. Water/Elec was $18 dollars night. We stayed just after Labor Day and we were one of 6 trailers in the entire park. The showers and restrooms are what you might expect for an unattended camp ground. We did see a sign in front of a trailer that said camp host but they must have had the night off. If I was coming back to the area I would definitely come back to this campground.

Beautiful State Park

Probably the nicest State Park I’ve ever stayed at. We were just there for one night and we arrived after the guard shack had closed. After hours registration happens at the lodge and it took us a little bit to find it. The signage is small and hard to read especially at night. Camp sites were very nice. We had electric only site and the total was $33 which included $8 park entrance fee. Bathrooms were dated but adequate.

Quick Overnight Stop

The entrance to the campground was a little tight for 35’ fifth wheel. If you come in from the West prepare for wide turn. RV spaces were a little tight. That night as we were laying in bed we could hear our neighbors outside their trailer planning their next stop. You can see from the attached photo how close they were. RV spot with veteran discount was $50 - a little spendy for what you get. Bathrooms were clean, coin op laundry and good WiFi. Little BBQ restaurant on site. We arrived at 7pm and they close at 8pm so they were sold out of many items on menu. Prices were OK but side portions were small.
