Great place to stop when crossing Texas. Passpot America rate is $15.00 per night. Very clean, quite, easy on/off I-20 We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
The people were friendly, including a host who rolled up as we were reading instructions for late arrivals. He was very helpful in steering us to a nearby and very handy spot for our overnight needs. It was clean and quiet here, except for some highway noise. Better signs from the Interstate might have helped, but we found the park OK by staying on the highway through town (about four miles) without giving up. Good place to bunk down halfway across Texas. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This is a old park that is well maintained. The office was not open when we arrived, but one of the camp hosts came up and helped us. They have a small store which offers quite a bit. They offer pancakes for breakfast for over night guests. We would stay there again if we pass thru the area. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
While the previous posts leave a rather bad impression of this campground, I think just the opposite. I have camped here while passing through this area annually for the past 4 years. The new owner (2 years ago), has made considerable improvements and the campground is much cleaner. The sites for overnight campers are large and have a new fence between each site. The sites are level and very long. You can easily keep your tow vehicle attached to your RV. The office is clean and well arranged. The swimming pool was open and several kids appeared to be having a great time. Yes, there are a large number of full timers (local workers) camped here. Their sites are clean and mostly on the back side of the campground. The management is friendly and helpful. Overall, for an overnight stay in west Texas, this is hard to beat. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This RV Park was very outdated and not very well maintained at all. Their website needs to be updated since the pool and hot tub are not available for use and their store had very little in it. However, their lot was decent and somewhat level. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Website said "expect to be impressed", however we were sadly disappointed. The park's not bad looking for west Texas. But depending on what site they put you in, you might have some trees and you might not. They have an indoor pool along with cable and WIFI that worked well (however only 8 minutes are Free then you have to pay). The first site they gave us was in a nice location and amply wide. However after getting everything all set up, we realized the breaker kept blowing for the AC. After working with this for several hours in the 100 degree heat, we determined the camper wasn't getting enough power from the park. We were in a 30 amp site, so the park kindly moved us to a 50 amp site. But we were told to not get to attached to this site, as it was temporary until another monthly site would come available. This site worked the first night, but only by keeping our AC on low. Then the next day, once we got into the heat of the day, the breaker blew again. It wouldn't even work on low. We tested the park power and once again it had dropped below the minimum voltage needed to run the AC. After complaining to the park, they suggested we leave since there was nothing they could to do for us. After first telling us that no one else was having these problem, they eventually told us they had been having problems with the power company not supplying enough power to run all their sites on a full load in the heat of the day. So depending on where you are parked, you might get enough power to run your AC and you might not. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
The park is clean and has probably the cleanest showers/restrooms we've seen in a campground. The pool and hot tub, however, were a different story. Both smelled like stagnant water and obviously hadn't been cleaned in a while. THIS PARK IS NOT KID FRIENDLY. If you have kids, do not stay in this park. It has nothing for the kids to do by themselves. It looks like the vast majority of the park is taken up by seniors and oil field workers. There is a very rude old man who seems to work as the park host. My kids were sword fighting in the pool with flotation noodles and we were the only ones in the pool area. The old man came in and yelled at my wife for this behavior. The kids were doing nothing wrong other than enjoying the pool. He threatened to have us thrown out of the park after I told him not to yell at my wife. When I identified myself as a police officer he backed down, but remained very rude to us. The place is clean, but if you're under the age of 60, don't bother stopping here. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
With the ratings given this campground in the Trailer Life Directory, we expected much more. Even their ad states, "Expect to be Impressed." The campground has seen better days. It appeared run down with many permanent folks. We had a pull-thru site & still had to unhook, and our 5er is only 30 feet. This park is fine for an overnight, but that's about it. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
A run down park--mostly permanent folks with a few sites for overnighters. The site was long enough that we could leave the car hooked up. The 50 amp connection did not work and the 30 amp tripped when I used the hair dryer. At least there was some grass to walk the dog!!! We camped here in a Motorhome.
Easy to access and maneuver in for large rigs. Sites were extra long and mostly level. Nothing fancy but a good over night stop. Managers were friendly and helpful. Great indoor swimming pool. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Nice resort right next door to an 18 hole municipal golf course Comanche Trail. Nitely rate was 27 dollars with a Good Sam discount. Park was very clean and quit. Only negative comment was about Trailer Life's driving instructions to the park. Driving off I-20 directly thru town is not the way to go. Recommend you call the park for a better route via FM700 (a by-pass route). We stayed here in a 36 foot 5th wheel with plenty of room to negotiate turns and level grassy sites. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Revisited park in 40' motorhome. Park is for sale and is in need of some maintenance. Roads are paved, but deteriating to dirt. Sites are dirt and mostly level. Some tree trimming is needed. Our site had a concrete pad which needed repair and was not well placed. A nice table was provided. Utilities were modern & well placed. Sites are wide enough for any size coach with any number of slides. Located well off I-20 so it is quiet. Used as overnight stop over. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Good for overnight stay. Sites are close together but adequate. Staff very friendly, but campground is old and in need of upgrades. Close to shopping, adjacent to city park with good golf but far enough off highway to be quiet. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Liked the proximity of Comanche Park adjacent to RV park. Hot and dusty as is west Texas. We spent three weeks by paying monthly rate but was surprised when electric was added to the attractive longer term rate. Owners very friendly and helpful and they'll buy you a breakfast. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Several miles (15 minutes) off I-10 past small city of Big Spring. Next to "Comanche Park"
which has an outstanding Christmas lights display, and in season swimming, golf, recreational activities. Park offers free pancake breakfast and has very reasonable home-cooked dinner for travellers available. Friendly staff. Sites are dirt or gravel, some improvements being made. Several cabins available. Wifi system requires your PC "MAC" number, requires in-office activation, is overpriced, has mediocre transmission. They should change to an easy-to-use system like "Coachconnect.net". A nice park for families because it is spacious. Next door to a Catholic church. Quiet area. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We've stayed here 3 or 4 times in the past 3 years for 'overnighters' or 1-2 day stop on
our travels further west. This is a comfortable park, with friendly staff. Sites run a little on the small size, but this is really not a "destination", so for a short stay, it was perfectly acceptable. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Park is located about 3 miles east of I-20. Made for a quiet night without road or train noise. A sign on interstate stated new park in 2002--new to owners. It appears this is an older trailer park that is now a rv park. Construction is ongoing on improving the facility. Our site was sandy dirt and narrow. Enough room for slideout(s), but on top of neighbors utilities. Table was next to sewer hookups of next motorhome. Park had nice store, great indoor pool and nice outdoor spa. Free breakfast was offered. Owners may be better served to spread out overnighters which would cover narrow site issue. Would stay again as it may be the best park in area. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Perfect place for overnight stop. Very convenient access to Interstate 20. Older facility but clean. Sites are on the smaller side but again, OK for overnight. Restrooms and showers were clean. WIFI and cable TV worked very well. Good area for walking dogs. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Great place for an overnite and is easy to get to and back onto the interstate. The attendant was very pleasant and helpful. Sites are tight, but easy to get in and out. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Nice park, nice staff, full hookups, pull throughs,lots of highway noise. Best cable TV setup we have ever seen. Each site has a rack with about 20 feet of cable wound on it; very easy to connect. We will go there again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Convenient campground with easy on/off freeway access at exit 184 of I-20. The sites are gravel/rock and are very level however some are very close together. Owners live onsite and are very helpful and responsive. They have a good high speed WiFi signal and a great Cable TV lineup. There is no meeting room or pool. The laundry room is open 24/7 and is very clean with new machines. The restrooms are clean and have coded locks on them so are quite secure. This park has considerable road noise from I-20 but we dealt with it by using the Air Conditioner. We feel its the best in the area and would use it again if in the area. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We were there only overnight. We had phoned ahead to make sure they had space. Since we would be arriving after the office closed, I was told to call back when we got close and they would meet us. She was in the office already so we would not have to wait. Very accomodating. If we were in the area, we would stay again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This park is OK for a stop-over. It is just off the freeway, has grass/gravel sites, and had what appeared to be several sites with transient populations. We camped here in a Motorhome.
The rate reflects the Escapee discount. The park is right off of the interstate, but road noise was tolerable. The lady running the office was very friendly and escorted us to our site and explained the hookups. The sites are grass/gravel and very close together - our step hit the power pedestal of the spot next door. The WiFi and cable are free and work well. Overall, a good overnight, but very cramped. We camped here in a Motorhome.
The staff member was friendly/courteous when checking in and directed us to site and pointed out hookups and new dog run. Good WiFi and cable. I-40 nearby but noise was tolerable. No sign for exit so we had to go back from next exit. We would stay here again if in area. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Nice for a one night stop or more. We normally don't make reservations here but this year we did call first. We got the last 3 sites. Each year they get more customers and even though a lot of people use them for a one night stop, they are running out of space. The owners go out of there way to help you get into your site and make sure 5th wheels are not put in sites with trees with low limbs. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Ideal park for the overnighter. Easy in - easy out. Friendly staff helps get you to your site. I'm glad we made a reservation early in the day; the place was packed. Cable and internet service was satisfactory. If there were other amenities, we didn't use them. However, as with many parks, the dog walk area was full of stickers. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Visited park & found it to be big rig friendly. Staff was very friendly & helpful. All roads & sites were gravel which were a little dusty. Sites were so narrow that we were within 5' of our neighbors on each side. Utilities were modern & well placed. Free wifi was usable and the cable was very good. Next to interstate, but noise was not a factor. Most of park is utilized by full timers. Park is good value considering location and we would return for an overnighter. We camped here in a Motorhome.
What a nice surprise to find the owners so helpful and eager to please. They really did walk us to our site, explained how things worked and where everything was. Free Wifi that was very fast, great cable TV with plenty of stations. It is very close to the I-20 highway, but the road noise was very tolerable. There is no pool, so if you're really in need, you have to go somewhere else. I would return here the next time we are driving through. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
The weekly rate was $75.00 (75/7=11). We gave this park an overall rating of 9 because the RV Park was clean, secured, and all amenities that were advertised worked. Our Verizon internet card did not work in Big Spring, TX, so we asked if the Wi-Fi actually worked or just sometimes worked. Management assured we would have NO problems. Wi-fi worked GREAT! The cable channel line-up was incredible! The place was clean! And the management was extremely nice! The reason for not getting a rating of 10 was because of location. Big Spring is an oil producing town, but they are not reaping the rewards of high oil prices. Approximately 50% of the businesses were closed. The town actually looked like it was on the economic down cycle. On a great note, we went to Big Spring Mall and bought several designer clothing for 20% of retail price of what we would have paid in any other town that was in an economic up cycle. This is NOT a destination area of Texas but this RV Park is a GREAT place to rest for a few days! We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Nice little park for the area, easy in and out. Owners have really turned the park around from the last time we were there a few years ago. Very friendly and helpful. Only down side are the grass burrs, they are everywhere in this part of the country. The management are constantly trying to correct this daily. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Nice park for overnight stop. Gravel roads. Our gravel site was one of the most level and quickest to setup on our current trip (6,000 miles since we left Baton Rouge on March 21st). Grassy patio with bench seat. Easy off and on the Interstate, but with little road noise. Friendly management! We would stay here again. Price paid is Escapees price! We camped here in a Motorhome.
Owners have been the most helpful and attentive that we have encountered in any park. bar none. As mentioned by other reviewers, this is not the prettiest campground, but nicely laid out and extremely well run. Rate reflects good sam discount. Extensive line-up of cable channels and wi-fi that is free and WORKED!. Right on the I-20 service road so you will have some road noise, but we did not find it bothersome and it certainly did not keep us awake. Site was gravel surrounded by grass and was level with easy pull-thru access. These are the first campground showers that my husband found clean enough to use. They were well appointed and spotless. The only reason that I did not give it a 10 was the lack of pool and rec. facilities, but for an overnight stay was perfect. I would certainly recommend to others and would stay again if in the area. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
After over 30 years of Rv'ing, I have had customer service and customer commitment defined for me: It is this campground. In all my years, I have never run across such incredibly customer oriented people. It starts with a warm greeting when you arrive, followed by a personal escort to your site. Then you find out that, despite several incoming and outgoing faxes, they hesitate to charge you because they consider that customer service, and on and on and on. These folks truly are committed to their customers. The campground, although not beautiful or great, is nicely laid out, has deep spaces, has excellent restroom facilities, and so forth. No swimming pools or kiddie entertainment but just down to earth good value and good service right down to ample hooks in the shower areas (for the poster who recently said they didn't have these.) This may not be the nicest campground we have ever visited, but it is the best. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a GREAT park for an overnight stop. The owners couldn't be more friendly and helpful. They have only been here about 1 1/2 years - are working on upgrading park. Some road noise, but not bad. Nice pull throughs that accomodate coach and toad. Will definitely stay here again when going through West Texas. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Easy on/off I-20. We had a pull-thru gravel site that could accommodate our 38’ motorhome with tow. Sites are narrow and fairly level. Very friendly hosts, showed us to our site and made sure that we had everything we needed. When the host noticed a branch close to our motorhome, no time was wasted in cutting it down. This is an older park with newer owners who appear to be working hard at keeping it clean and fixing it up. It isn’t a fancy park, but is a good overnight or short stay park. Wi-Fi is included in the price and worked well. Cable TV is free and they even provide the cable for hook-up. This is a Good Sam Park. There is some Interstate noise, but tolerable unless you are a really light sleeper. We would definitely stay again when passing through. We camped here in a Motorhome.
For a park that does not have a pool or other entertainment amenities it is very nice. You are directed to your site and get all the help you could want. The sites are long for those that wish to pull in with the tow attached. The overnight or weekly sites are narrow and there are no hooks in the showers. The proximity to I20 is good for getting in and out but there is the downside of high way noise. We stayed a week to see some things in town and get caught up on house and book work. The WiFi worked very well. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We have used this park several times as a one night stop over. It is handy to I-10 and easy to get in and out of. It is close to I-10 so noise road noise may be a factor but we slept with the windows closed and the air conditioner on. Staff is friendly and escort you to your site. They even furnish the cable for the cable tv. We camped here in a Motorhome.
