Over priced for a slab of cement almost awning to awning near the beach (rate reflects super site + cable + electric for a week), which was covered with seaweed and unusable other than to walk on if you could find a path. Was told super site simply meant closer to the boardwalk (needs to be cleaned off) and the large pool (which was closed for 2.5 days of the 7 we were there for cleaning and repair). Very hot and humid and windy this time of year and we would not return to Mustang later than April 1 if we come again. Lots of seasonal Winter Texans and weekend local trailers take up sites with annual rental. Great place to come for quiet beach life, as the town is geared to lots of restaurants (Shells and Pelican Landing were the best we found) and expensive beach shops, many of whom are open when they feel like it during this time of year. Trolley to downtown every hour; 2 pools; lots of rules without much observance or consequence; pet friendly but many don't "pick up"; very friendly workampers; would return if rate was better and didn't have to pay for cable.

Quiet (except for trains); nice woods and grass all around property; very pet friendly; cement sites with small patio extension -- some sites need attention to break down of cement; convenient on/off and to all you will want to do; behind a ridge on the east bank of Mississippi and across from the Ameristar Casino barge; propane at reasonable rate; no "junk" or long term RV's; few 50 amp sites and some flooding in middle of park when it rained; shuttle service but you can walk or drive yourself easily to casino (5 casinos in a row on the east bank with this one in the middle); nice casino with great food at buffet; free breakfast a nice touch; they say there is a 3-day limit, but can stay longer if not busy; great civil war national park 4 miles away and beautiful antebellum mansions to visit with quaint downtown shopping; Walmart, Kroger, Walgreen, and more very close by; rate is Good Sam discounted; have been told this is best park in the area and we would return.

This park is fast pricing itself out of business as its owner is raising prices tremendously every year and seems to think people will pay the same prices as they do in Florida for a seasonal stay. The valley is nice, but it's not Florida! We were here from Jan. through April and the rate reflects the average cost per day including electricity on a pull through site. With all that said, this is the best park in the Rio Grande Valley --we checked them all out because we like the area, the people, the cost of living, the proximity to Mexico and services available there, and the weather. We didn't like the wind or the hot/humid temps of April and would never stay past March again; our dog was extremely allergic to something in the ground cover and the burrs are simply dangerous to man and animal! The park has so much activity scheduled, you could never do it all. The pool is outstanding, but for 2 months, you can't get in it there are so many people. On site restaurant food was not good. Propane delivery at site; cement sites with full hook ups; paved streets with curbs; grapefruit trees on most sites; no grass, just TX scrub and dirt (if you can't stand dust and a dirty RV, you won't like it here!)except for people who live in mobile homes and have cultivaed grass; on-site P.O.; wireless good, but modem was a problem because you can't use Outlook for outgoing mail so we had to re-install our Verizon PC card to have protected internet; cable outstanding with many premium channels; free landline hook-up and local calls; not the freindliest staff; not much to do outside the park except S. Padre Island and Progreso, Mexico, but plenty to occupy yourself with in the park and lots of seasonal Winter Texans. Pet freindly, but not very good facilities for such a huge park, although they say they will have running water, bigger dog park and better facilities next season. We will return until the park is too expensive.

Great weekend camp for families with tents or small trailers -- new pool, fishing, paddle boats, nice store with pool table. Not a place for long term stay for RV's as they only have gray water drains (no washers allowed and no laundry facilities)with honey wagon service for a fee; goose droppings everywhere; no clean up of sites and firepits; poor lawn maintenance; store not open during the week and hard to find someone to take care of any issues; only three 50 amp sites; poor gravel roads with potholes; sites not well laid out for utility access; poor water pressure and sometimes NO water service; bathhouse showers set on one temperature and it's hot!; nearest shopping 20 miles away. In defense of owners, this campground was in bad shape when they bought it and is in process of being upgraded, but that process has been going on for 3 years and is slow going.

This is one of the nicest parks on the west coast, close to beaches and much to see and do in the area. However, it is way over priced and is the only reason we will not return. Average cost is $1K/month during winter season. Also, very dirty as no grass on sites, just dirt and pine needles. Pines leave sap on everything and hard to get off of RV. Nice facilites and beautiful pool with extensive activity schedule. Many seasonals.

This is not a well kept park. A lot of trashy seasonals and the only section shorter term campers will want to be in is the open "I" section (definitely the only place you will get satellite). When it rains, it floods many sites and roads -- we had a waterfront site and weren't anywhere near the man-made lake! So many potholes, it was hazardous to drive our truck, let alone our fifth wheel on the interior roads. The beach is small and steep. The tree lined entry is not big rig friendly. Did not find the staff very helpful with directions. Not sure why their rates are so high, especially off-season. They have nothing to offer (except free WIFI) and need to bring the value up or the rates down! We come to Maine every year, but we will never stay here again.

This campground is actually 100 sites with half being seasonal. Weekends are repeat visitors who get drunk and let their kids run wild. Golf carts abound and accidents are not uncommon. Events planned for these repeats and rates increased accordingly. Week days not so crazy, but rate high for off season. Huge camp store; canoe, bike, paddle boat, golf cart rentals; nice man-made beach and pool; but, nearest shopping is 30 miles away. Oyster Festival over rated and over priced, too! We will not return.

This is the best campground we have stayed in! Very well priced, we stayed over a month, paid $555 monthly, and with Passport, Good Sam rates for the odd days, it averaged to the rate shown. No pool or frills except free cable and $1/day WIFI that was very fast. Cleanest bath houses I have ever seen. Not a place to bring the kids, no kid amenities, but very pet friendly. Very well kept grounds, very friendly and helpful staff for every little thing. Level gravel over sized sites, we stayed on site 61 -- nice sized and backed onto woods. Few seasonals, but no park models and very well maintained. Overflow, some with electric. Great base camp for exploring the mid-coast and Bar Harbor/Acadia National Park. Some shade, close to all the big city amenities of Bangor, nice activity building and some activities happening every week. Marilyn and Jimmy Carter, (he even has a brother named Billy in Georgia!), are the live in site owners and are absolutely fabulous hosts! Will return again and again!!

Ridiculous price if it weren't for the slight proximity to the ocean. Our awning touched the back of the RV next to us and they were quite small! Very crowded with tent campers, so many trees, we had scratch damage and no satellite. Not a friendly staff and very unlevel gravel site. People next to us had no sewer and begged to use ours. Would not return or recommend for any reason.

Tight, in a field site with no sewer or shade. Staff friendly, but rain in the field with little gravel was very dirty situation. Left RV for 3 days to go to Toronto, no problem. Would not camp here more than overnight in future.

This was a great base camp for us while we explored the Ontario coast, Niagara Fall, Fort Niagara and Lockport Erie Canal. Not well maintained (paddle boats broken, activity room run down), but a nice beach on a huge lake, had lots of room, shade, and as it wasn't crowded, no one parked on either side of us. Passport America rate you can't beat for 10 days. Mostly seasonals, father/son owned, nice people.

This is a seasonal park with a few overnight pull throughs. Seasonal people were rude to us when we went to the lake to swim (no beach). Level gravel site, very tight, no real amenities to speak of, close to freeway, but over priced and wouldn't camp here again.

Best site we've ever had! Unfortunately, only 3 full 50 amp hookup sites available, but all the sites are very private and large! Great beach, boating, dog park/swimming, well patrolled, wonderful staff. Golden Buckeye card gets you half off the fee. Will camp here whenever we can!

Very over priced. Sites like a parking lot and no amenities except the pool. Paid $220 weekly rate, so nightly is higher. Location is near Alum Creek, but still ridiculously priced. State Park has better sites and bigger. Will not return.

Very nice people, Good Sam park, best stocked store I have seen! Sites were very tight in an open field, but easy to get to for a one-night stay. Over priced for no amenities except cable included.

The only reason I didn't give this top rating is the price -- typical KOA in that it is a well run establishment. They own a restaurant and diamond mine across the street, but both closed before we could get to them. Shade trees, beautiful Mohawk River, not real crowded, nice staff. Stayed two nights and would stay again despite price.
