RATING: ♦♦♦♦+
- Length of stay: 12 days
- Cost of per night: $3/night for 50 amp
- Discount: Thousand Trails
- Hook ups: 50 amp electric, water, and sewer. No cable TV.
- Site number/quality: #D22. Gravel pad, nicely angled, but a bit muddy. Grassy picnic area. Several large trees, ample shade.
- Park Quality: This is a quiet park compared to the last one in Conroe. It’s situated along the Colorado River (no relation to the river in Arizona), just west of Columbus (no relation to the city in Ohio). The campground has an upper and a lower section. We stayed in the lower section by the river. This section was badly flooded during Hurricane Harvey in 2017. Several sites were completely washed away. On the positive side, the flooded sites that didn’t wash away, including ours, got updated electrical and water hookups. The office area, pool, and rec area are a little dated but well kept. This is a typical Thousand Trails with gravel sites and roads. Our only complaint is that the paved entrance way leading to the guard shack is a quarter mile of potholes. Thankfully , the gravel roads inside the campground are mostly pothole free.
- Access: The campground is on a county road a mile off TX-71, which is a major four lane highway, and about 5 miles north of I-10.
- Connectivity: Verizon OK, AT&T strong, T-Mobile strong.
- Return yes/no?: Sure
- Notes: The campground is in the country. Not much to do but relax. Lots of deer roam the campground. Some campers feed then, though the campground brochure/map says not to.
