The new section on this park is one of the best that we have seen all across I-80 in Wyoming since there was a good sized separation between the pull-thru sites with grass and a table. The quality of the new washroom was very good, similar to those new office buildings. The park does display the Good Sam logo but it is not clear that they are a member any more. They are across a road from I-80 and the road noise was not excessive. We thought it was the best overnight park for many miles. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We really didn't want to stay here after reading previous reviews but there wasn't much available in this area where we were visiting relatives. If you can go to a different location then do so. We were given a half price discount because the only spot that would fit our 35-footer had sewage hookup problems. We were on the "new" top level that had the very comical hand-painted sign "Viewpoint" that overlooked a green hill with a train track. Compared to the beauty we had just seen in Flaming Gorge we had to laugh. The office was closed and we had to go to the manager's home. They were friendly. If the location is where you need to stay then you can survive a night otherwise move on. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We drove to this park as it was advertised as a Good Sam Park and the Good Sam Logo was on the park's sign. Upon check-in we were told that Good Sam was no longer honored or was any other discount honored. The management had discontinued this service 30 days prior to our arrival. This park is a long way, when you have driven all day, from any where. So we stayed. Never again. It was clean park and the desk help was friendly. The price is outrageous. It was strange that in a 30 day period the logos for Good Sam and AAA could not have been covered or removed from the park's signs. Will never stay in this park again as the price is to high, the information available and the logos on the signs are misleading as to discounts honored. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Ugh! Tex's Travel Camp was a disappointment! We had left a wonderful park & arrived at Tex's Travel Camp... what a culture shock! The only remotely redeeming thing about camping here was watching the trains in the distance, being close to beautiful Flaming Gorge & we did make some wonderful new friends who had parked next to us. Other than that, this park is a nightmare! Folks, there are NO amenities & yet they charge $28?! The store in the office is very limited & didn't even carry charcoal. The only trees are on the lower level where the full timers reside. Tex's is located right next to busy Hwy 70 & all you hear day & night is traffic zooming by. The top level where the rest of us park is just rocks & dust...no trees whatsoever. The only grass is the tiny 'pet' area. I don't think this area has seen rain in decades..everything is dry, dusty & windy. Thank goodness for our satellite dish cause our cable connection wasn't working correctly. Tex's states that they have internet connection in the bathrooms, but during our stay we only saw people get frustrated cause they couldn't log on. The phone in the bathroom isn't a pay phone, but it still eats up your phone card minutes excessively. Your cell phone will NOT work in the park; you have to get out on the hwy to use your phone. We saw a couple of RV's slowly pull thru the park, look around & leave. We absolutely were thrilled to leave Tex's Travel Camp & would advise others to continue on down the road unless your just so exhausted that you have to stop at Tex's for the night. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
The park is broken into two destinct areas, Seasonal and longer stay sites and overnight sites. The first are in a nice grassy shaded area and the overnighters in a dusty sand area. While registering it seemed as though we were imposing on the park. The dog walk area was very small and had never been cleaned up. The washrooms were new and were clean and large. This was also where the modem hookup was. Over all the park was a disappointment and wouold not reccommend staying there. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We fondly called this Tex's Travel Nightmare. While the people were very nice and our site was clean and well spaced, the campground itself, we felt, was very unsafe. There were random children running around with pit bulls and guys using big earth moving equipment for riding around the campground. There was one bathroom which was accessable only by hiking up a hill, which we were not inclined to do in the middle of the night. Overall, this campground was not what it was billed to be in the AAA Campground Guide. We camped here in a Truck Camper.
Nice park, easy to manuever in park. The owners were great, know the area and helped in planning our stay. All their advice kept us from wasting our visiting time. Park was clean and sites were of normal size. There is a train track across the river on a hill but the trains go so slow up and down the incline and it is far enough away it was not noticeable. We would recommend this park and would stay again if in area. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Camped here in 2002, September. This campground is on several levels, the lower levels have grassy and shady sites and many sites are occupied by permanents. The upper site, which is graveled with no shade, is rather cramped as far as the entry and exit is concerned and I imagine a really large rigs might have problems however our's is 38' and we made it without a problem. The sites themselves are large enough. The upper sites where we stayed twice has the nicest and cleanest bathhouse I've ever seen. There is also a desk with modem and electrical connection in the bathhouse, with a good size desk and chair. They charge $2 extra for each pet, which is why I didn't give them a 9 or 10. We camped here in a Motorhome.

One of the trashiest parks I have ever seen. Dust 3 inches thick, surrounded by junkyards and located next to the freeway. The only RV park in town.......keep going to the next town. "Tex" is old and grouchy with a take it or leave attitude. One night was more than I wanted. We camped here in a camper.
