Our review on Campground Reviews:

Older campground, needs some love

Unusually for a Thousand Trails park, the staff knew what sites were actually available and we were able to select one at check-in. We wanted a 50 amp pull-through but unfortunately, all the 50A pull-throughs are buddy sites. I hate buddy sites. We were lucky enough to get one on the end so our living area wasn’t directly on top of someone else, but it did open up to the bathroom block. Scenic! The site was not at all level front-to-back and we had to maneuver a bit to find the most level location. The roads here are more pothole than road, so maneuvering our coach to avoid the worst of them was interesting. If we’d been planning to stay longer, I would definitely get one of the back-in sites tucked in the trees. We camped at Thousand Trails Lake Texoma in a Motorhome.

Rather close to the neighbor:

Utilities; can’t get any better sewer placement:

The view out the buddy-side window wasn’t exciting:

We used the griddle and ate outside for several meals:

Time to add the Virgin Islands National Park sticker to the coach:

And Virgin Islands stickers and a pin on the board inside:

No, this isn’t another picture of our coach, but a neighboring Tiffin with a very similar paint scheme:

This is the 37AP floorplan, a bit smaller than ours:

On the other side of our site were bathrooms, but separated by some grass, so it wasn’t too bad:

Other RVs:

More buddy sites:

A murky but nice pond and island:

The activity center has a large covered area:

Not the fanciest campground, but not too bad. We’d probably opt for a back-in if we stay here again.
