Nice clean & shady campground to stay in and we would stay again. Park is located next to train tracks and could be bothersome if you are a light sleeper. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Sites are level and large enough for 40ft rv & trailer. We were tired when we pulled in and the person showing us where the site was argued about how to drive the rv so as to avoid hitting the fire rings. They are well placed and not in the way. We have been full-timing on the road for years, and did not want the help. The water is bad. It tastes as if there may be sulfur in it. We would stay here again,but only after trying another park first. We camped here in a Motorhome.
The access to this park is very convenient. It is right off I-10 a few miles west of Columbus. You probably won't need a reservation to stay here as it is not particularly crowded. A very friendly staff. We were shown to our pull through site conveniently located for easy in & out for our overnight stay. The host assisted in positioning our rig on the site. Clean restroom & shower, but is a single unisex edition. Gravel site required no leveling. Now for the trains. They started at around eleven p.m. and seemed to come through every hour. From reading other reviews this may be more frequent than normal. There is a crossing requiring them to blow their whistle nearby, which is impossible to drown out with an air conditioner fan. I would recommend this place as a friendly and convenient place to stop, but you may lose some sleep. I can't say we won't stay here again, but we may look for other alternatives when passing through the area. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Great in/out stopping place for big rigs on Interstate 10.Super friendly people with very clean facilities.There are trains close. Owners live on site and very accommodating. Small country store and propane. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
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.
Wonderful office personnel. A great stop after driving through Houston on I-10. Site sufficient size, with fire pit and picnic table under a tree. Many full-timers living there. Bathrooms are extremely well-kept and attractive. Stayed 1 night because on a schedule, but would happily have stayed longer. Lots to see in the area (painted churches). We camped here in a Motorhome.
Nice little, well-kept campground. Lots of grassy area for tents (no hookups). Sites are easy, level pull-thrus with picnic table and tree. I can see where the one poster felt the sites were too close together because if they used every site, your near-side slide would probably be darn close to your neighbor's awning but, at least while we were there, they parked campers at every other site which was very nice. Several permanents here; several seasonals; and several campers belonging to men working over towards Houston. No problem with electricity; cable is great; and they have 5 wifi sites to choose from. Close to shopping (HEB, small Walmart) and a great seafood restaurant...Nancy's Seafood Grill. Don't miss that! We'll stay here again if we're in the area. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
The park was small and near the highway, so you hear highway noise, but it's still an acceptable place to stay for a weekend (I've seen worse!). Their power and cable work well so we were happy. The scenery at the park, on the other hand, left much to be desired. But we traveled around to make up for it. The park hosts were very friendly and welcoming. Pool was small but and not open when we visited in May. They have a nice patio with rocking chairs and swings around their club house. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
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.
Nice place but the owners were somewhat rude. It was one of my first RV park experiences and was concerned this would be the way they all were. Have been comfortably surprised that this is the exception and not the rule. It seems those who are most concerned with the aesthetic value of their parks, forget that if you treat people with as much importance, they'll forgive a bit of the aesthetic shortcomings. But treat them poorly and they remember for a very long time! We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
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 park is handy off the interstate and for $15.00 Passport America is okay. No way is it worth $30-$35 a night. Was told there are new managers and the price has gone up from what stated. Must have cash, no checks or cc. One bathroom with a tub, which looked just okay, and was for both man and woman. No toilet paper. Glad we have our own. Sounds like new owners are moving trailers in, so may not be an RV park in the future. Might check before planning on stopping here, alto it is easy to get back on freeway.... We camped here in a Motorhome.
No Wi-Fi. No fire ring. Rate is Passport America. This place is what it is. A good overnight spot worth paying the $13 for the AC rather than Walmart just down the road. You pay, then go out, and pick whatever empty spot you want. We would stay again if in the area. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
It makes me sad to see the ONLY OTHER TWO REVIEWS for this RV Park, and it is even more disheartening to know who wrote those reviews. The other two (bad) reviews were written by competitors of this camp ground. I know because they brag about this and laugh, and are not discreet in doing so. This RV Park is extremely convenient, does not deserve the bad reviews it got. I have to RVit frequently and have stayed in no less than 17 RV Parks in and around the Houston, San Antonio, Texas area, and on my list of RV Parks great for OVER NIGHT stays this RV Park rates a 7 from me. I do not have experience with a long term stay here, but I have had to stay two nights at a time and I have not found what the other two reviews say to be true. Please give this park a chance and decide for yourself. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

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.
