Great stop over. Easy to get to. The park is very clean. The train whistle! The track is behind the park, horn sounds at 4, 5, 6 am. It is a great alarm clock. You will not oversleep here. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This campground has now changed it's name to Columbus KOA. We turned off just to check it out and were glad we did. It's very neat and clean. Also the sites are long pull thrus and you won't need to unhook. The WIFI works good and the owners are very accomodating. WE definitely recommend this park for a stopover or if you have business along I-10. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Good for only a one or two night stop. Trains several times a night except, for the weekends, and then there are less. WiFi not all that good at present time: there are days I couldn't use it at all. The owners are trying to fix things up: pool, putt putt golf, new internet provider in the plans. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Very friendly, clean park. Close to freeway and train tracks, so there is some noise. Very good for stopovers. Exit off freeway has a rough turn on it, so be careful. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This is a nice looking campground, but beware. The campground is squeezed between the interstate and railroad tracks, with a crossing about 100 yards away. Besides the constant noise, be prepared to be startled by very loud train whistles day and night. Even though their advertisements say recreation hall, restrooms, and showers, there is only one large bathroom with a shower and toilet in the same room, shared by men and women. This has turned out to be very inconvenient, to say the least, for those of us who are not completely self contained and do not want to share a facility. The recreation hall, advertised with restrooms, is only open for large parties as it is not worth turning on the AC for just one or two people, the managers say. They also do not spray their oak trees, so those who have a shaded site here in April are fighting a battle with hundreds of worms falling on the camper and vehicle, as well as the droppings from same. Don't try and get anything from the office, as it's rarely open. Needless to say, this is our first and last stay here. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

Stopped overnight. Passport America campground. Nice park but since it is right next to I-10, somewhat noisy - especially with nearby train track. Good for stopping while traveling. We camped here in a Motorhome.
They don't tell you about the line of trees that cover the RR tracks and that the trains run every 45 minutes round the clock. The wi-fi is down more than it is up. Very nice people that run the campground. This is a good place to stop just for an overnight visit. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
The spot I was in was so narrow that the neighbor's slide was so close to my slide , you could hear their TV...there was electrical problems on the pad..the 30 amp wiring was sticking up in the air....this place was a shamble...would not stay here again We camped here in a Motorhome.
Very nice campground with friendly staff. The site is located far enough from I-10 that you do not have the road noise as many parks do. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Staff very friendly. Good grass or dirt level sites. Not bad at all. Good space between sites. Would stay here again. We camped here in truck/camper but most were either motorhomes or fifth wheels and there was space enough for slide outs, etc. Wifi and cable worked fine. We camped here in a Truck Camper.
I really liked this park. Restroom is clean AND cute, owner very nice and had little bandanas for my dogs, and a package of microwave popcorn for me. Plenty of dog-walking area. These are grass sites and it was raining so things were a bit muddy, but all together a nice experience. This campground is not marked on the highway signs. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We stayed here overnight. Easy on and off freeway, cute little campsite. Owner friendly. Wifi did not work, but were informed that it was $2 if it did work. Sites were level. Not a bad place to stay for more than one night. We camped here in a Motorhome.
There is an extra charge for WiFi and 50 amps. You must pay by cash or check to receive a discount on the daily rate. Their website is representitive of the park. The park is less than a mile from Walmart, fast food, and a grocery store. A very suitable park for an overnight stop on interstate 10 in eastern Texas. We camped here in a Motorhome.
I stay here 5 times a year, and have never had any problems. If you stay Sat. nite, go and see the Columbus Opry C&W music show in town. Rest Rooms & Showers are clean, and I can always find a spot for my pop-up. We camped here in a camper.
This was the worst camping experience we have ever had!! W e arrived late and followed all the instruction at the office which was unattended. After filing out the paperwork and putting it in a mail slot we attemtemped to find a spot. The electrical, water and sewer layouts were very odd and unconventional, so it took a short time to find a spot that I could actually hook up to. I have very a long electrical cord, fresh water and sewer hoses but was still barly able to hook up. After I hooked up the manager agressively approached me accusing me of attempting to dump and run. They were relentless and kept accusing me, despite the fact that I had deposited all my information at the office. She would not leave the site and was extremely rude and disrespectfull to us during this entire time and would not leave us alone so that we could go to sleep. I finally insited she go check her drop box for our information and let us get to sleep. This whole affair took 1 - 2 hours and we didn't end up getting to sleep till 1:00am. At 7:00am they knocked at our door to tell us checkout time, at 7:30 they started to mow the lawn and loudly empty trash cans, elimiating any possibility of further sleep. When I went to settle up the bill I got an unending list of the managers medical problems and how I agrivated them, she went on and on, I almost had to be rude to leave. DO NOT STAY HERE!!! We felt like unwelcome criminals the entire 7 hours we were here, they have no respect and are very discourtious to their customers. What initially looked like a good deal at $18.75 ended up costing us $2.60 per hour to stay here. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This park claims in it's web site to be quiet. It is located directly on the access road for Interstate 10 and is anything but. The park is overlit with sodium vapor lights which make it nearly impossible to sleep.The lights are equiped with switches at ground level but even consider turning them off. If you do,you will quite likely suffer the manager's wrath. We did and were quickly screamed at, threatened with eviction and very nearly had local law enforcement called. The manager provided us with a list of her medical conditions and implied that we were somehow responsible for nearly sending her to the hospital. This person is very unstable, making for a very unpleasant experience to say the least. If your needing a spot in the Columbus area, check out the Columbus RV Park. Much better. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
