Nice managers. They're updating this campground and the pool is lovely. Exercise room to be done in two weeks. Our site faced the bay and pier. Beautiful view. Satellite worked well. Verizon card worked but dropped a lot. Pad was cement with patio. Old tennis courts being turned into pull throughs. City golf course just down the road. Very relaxing here. We stayed 3 nights and would definitely come back. We camped here in a Motorhome.
A lot of work is being done to upgrade this facility. New, heavy-duty level concrete pads, updated power supplies, new sod, fishing pier, etc. Wonderful view directly over the bay. We were on the move, so only stayed one night, but would like to have stayed longer. Owners were super friendly. We camped here in a Motorhome.
$300 a month plus electricity. Wi-Fi is limited depending on how many users there are. Close to major highways. Very quiet away from town. Park is on a bayou near Galveston Bay. They have a tendency to wait a bit too long before mowing the lawn and the mosquitos are a big problem. (I think they are getting a grip on that now.) Managers always helpful. Manager and assistant manager on site. As always remember spring in this part of the country comes with pretty big T-storms and rain. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We were passing through and stopped for one night. The park was 90% full of workers. Nice long concrete pad. Streets within the park were very narrow and lots of broken up concrete and potholes. Most vehicles were parked in the roadways as the pads weren't long enough for both the RV and truck. Office personnel were extremely helpful. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We spent one night here because it was on our route to our next location. We were looking for a comfortable place to spend the night (meaning get some sleep). Between the drag races nearby (with live band and fireworks), the people riding motorcycles in the park, the screaming kids, and all the other activity that happens on a Saturday night, this was not the best place to try and get an early night's sleep. The sites were very close together (not much room between each RV) and so many people were parked on the road instead of on their site it was VERY tight trying to get in and leave. It seemed like a decent park and might be quieter during the week. Most likely would not stay here again. The employees were friendly and helpful. The wi-fi worked very well and was free. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Handy for the I10, 20 miles east of Houston, friendly, helpful staff. The rest was awful. The noisiest site we have ever stayed on - the I10 rumbled the whole night. The sites are close together and soul-less. The toilets were filthy and the showers weren't much better. Also, they are no longer a KOA site; KOA sites are usually excellent. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Friendly staff, concrete roads and pads, shade trees at most sites. Fine campground, everything neat, clean and orderly. I-10 close but not a factor . This campground a nugget. Thinking about coming back next year and staying much longer. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
The new big rig sites were full and the pull-thru we were assigned was just marginal. We had to be very, very careful to avoid another coach getting into the site, and then we had to stop in the middle and trim a tree. We had to look out for trees as we exited the site in the morning. We were over 60' feet long and when we made the reservation, we told the friendly gal at the desk we did not want to take off the tow vehicle. Just another reminder that we should ALWAYS investigate the site before forking over our money. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Rate was with Gold Card discount. The only bit I would add is that the road to the park (Frontage Road) was under severe construction as of early March; down to one lane, perilously uneven (tilted) and with unthinkable drop offs on each side. We enjoyed the park and the staff, and the road was no problem for our Class B, but large Class As, particularly with toads, should call first to get a status report. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Decent enough park but not a good value for the money. We were there one night. On arrival we found we'd been bumped from a pull through to a back-in site without notice and moved from the newer part of the park to the older gravel section. Turned out to be a good thing and after the initial surprise we were pleased with our site. Being in with the older, smaller permanents made it much easier for us to navigate the roads, which although adequate are a little tight for a very large rig. Just mention the switch to make readers aware it could also happen to you as this is a problem for some who find it difficult to back in. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
A nice park at a stiff KOA price. All pull-throughs. Good utilities, good placement. A small but nice pool that "technically" closes but in actuality stays open all night. Reasonably quiet. Free WiFi was nice, and the park was clean, but you can find plenty of non-KOA parks with equivalent features for $10/night less. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We stayed there during the Katrina evacuation and the owner was very helpful in finding space for as many as he could. The park was very nice with pull through sites, grass areas and a pond. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This KOA which accepted Good Sam in 2004 no longer offers those discounts. This is an average campgound that works very well for an overnight stay between where you've been and where you're going. Staff are friendly. Interior roads and sites are paved. Our site was fairly level although we could not fit our combined 55' of truck and RV without unhitching and parking the truck at an angle and partly on the grass. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Good place to stop. Easy access, plenty of room to maneuver, concrete pads, real nice people. Verizon broadband and cell service was fine. Everything is new and it all works. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Not a bad park. We stopped here on a whim, needing a stop-over. The park is fairly new (less than 2 years old). A retired husband/wife own the park and are still developing it. The front is finished with gravel drives and concrete pads. They are adding new sites to the rear of the property. Everything worked well for us, and it was very easy access (just seconds off I-10 and plenty of turning room). The negatives are that the park is just seconds off of I-10, so there is a bit of road noise. The owner was very friendly, but I did have to call him on his cell to get him to come to the office, because he was back working on the property. Not really a big deal though. There are no children's facilities (at least not yet), but the owners didn't seem to be against children. This park has plenty of potential and should definitely be considered for a brief stop-over. Their address and contact information is given below, since they do not have a website: Lost River RV Park 8407 N. FM 565 Rd. (I-10 Exit 803) Baytown, TX 77520 281-576-2617. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Beware! This park is running a "non-refundable deposit" scam. The reservation section of their website says $25/day with no deposit required. When we called ahead to check on availability for two nites they indicated that they had one site left. They then indicated that if we wanted to reserve the site for two nites that it required a charge to our credit card of a "$50 deposit that is non-refundable." We had no problems with a deposit to hold the site. We understand parks need to protect themselves from holding sites for people who wind up being no shows. Besides, the deposit was essentially our two night camping fee simply paid in advance. Upon arrival they informed us that the rate was $30/day as opposed to the $25/day they post on their website. We were okay with that, it's only $5 difference per day. However, we were not okay with what they told us next. The $50 deposit was NOT going to be applied towards our camping fee of $60. The $50 deposit was being charged IN ADDITION to our $60 camping fee. This brought our total for 2 days to $110, or $55/day. When you challenge them their response is "We made it clear that the deposit was non-refundable." Sure, they tell you it's a non-refundable deposit. Any campground that requires a deposit to hold a site for you makes it clear that if you don't show they keep the deposit. We're cool with that. What this campground DOESN'T tell you is that the $50 non-refundable deposit is NOT applied towards your camping fee. You don't find that out until you've driven all day to get to your "reserved" campsite and you are handing over your charge card to pay for the site. This campground should be avoided at all costs. They are running a "play on words" scam and picking up an extra $50 with every camper who calls ahead for reservations. We camped here in a Motorhome.
