I want to give a huge shout-out to two outstanding team members at the RV park, Trish and Dodie. From the moment I arrived, they went above and beyond to make my experience exceptional. We were looking for a Long Term RV park and found your park to be above and beyond anything we have ever seen. Trish, was incredibly welcoming, knowledgeable, and patient—answering every question with a smile and making sure I felt completely comfortable navigating the park. Their professionalism and warmth truly set the tone for my stay. Dodie showed the same level of dedication and care. Whether helping with logistics, offering helpful tips, or ensuring everything ran smoothly, they consistently demonstrated outstanding customer service. Their positive attitude and willingness to help made a real difference. Both of them are absolute assets to the park, and their hard work didn’t go unnoticed. Thanks to their exceptional service, I left with a wonderful impression and would highly recommend this RV park to anyone.

We stayed in the glamping teepees, for two nights over an October weekend. This was the perfect compromise of camping and home comfort. The bed was hotel quality and mini fridge was large enough to store the foods we needed to keep cold after removal from our cooler. There was plenty of free/included things for us to do, and the price point for extras was totally reasonable. My kids loved trick or treating through the park, and seeing all the decorated sites. The only cons I can think of: the pool was cold, but as a native Californian it was comparable to to the Pacific Ocean, and we were visiting during an active burn ban, so no open fires. We will for sure be back and this is likely a new family tradition. If your dipping your toes in the world of camping and local to the dfw area this is a great option. Finally the park hosts deserve their own shout out. It's uncommon to encounter friendly happy employees, but everyone had a smiling face anytime we needed anything. Amazing hidden gem!

We had a good time. The pools are clean and well places around the park. We couldn't get the info up on the web page, so we missed out on everything Christmas. My grandson cut his foot on a pipe buried in the yard of our silo, so he was limited in activity. We loved the glow in the dark putt putt. The kids enjoyed laser tag. Make a reservation for those activities. We weren't warned about that and took whatever slot they had, but missed out on the gel blaster. It was booked solid. But, seriously, the pools were wonderful.

We had an AMAZING time!! The water park wasn’t packed with lines, we loved that! As we arrived at night, it was hard for us to spot our cabin number, so I would suggest better illuminating numbers where it’s easy to spot. As we were at the lazy river, there was an accident & people kept trying to get back in & the life guards would just blow the whistle aggressively and people didn’t know why, including us. We had to ask what was going on. I would suggest signs to better communicate with the guests. We stayed in a loft with the 3 beds on top, it was very hot up there, I would suggest a box fan up there. We went up there with cash & didn’t know it was all cashless only. That was a headache. It would have been nice to know in advance. We had a wonderful time as we were there. We will definitely be going back. In the email it asked to give ideas for improvements, so that’s what I did. I’m not at all putting the park down because I can assure you it was a blast!

14 (adults and kids) stayed in 2 cabins that shared a covered porch. This was the first time for all but 4 of us. Everyone had a great time. The staff was awesome. We will definitely be back. We played the gel blaster game, went through the lost maze, jumped on the bounce pillow, fished, played mini golf, rode the firetruck, tried out all 4 swimming pools and the water park. Loved their homemade ice cream. Great family getaway. The Hart, Ellis, and Frazier family.
