They have nice amenities such as mini golf, pool, boat launch, pickleball, basketball, trails, etc. We really enjoyed our stay here and highly recommend it if you are in the area.

This is our second stay here at Colorado River this Spring. As Thousand Trails members, a basic 30 amp site is free. A 50 amp site is $3 a night, and the premium sites are $10 per night.

As Thousand Trails members, a basic 30 amp site is free. A 50 amp site is $3 a night, and the premium sites are $10 per night. Note that if no 30 amp or 50 amp sites are available in the older area you may be faced with leaving or paying the extra $10 per night for the premium spots. Since it is first come first served and new folks aren't allowed in until noon, you can likely move to a free or $3 site fairly quickly by getting on the waiting list. A comment about a previous poster saying there are unethical practices at the park. I disagree strongly. The poster was warned as he says himself that there might not be a 30 amp site when he arrived. There often isn't the day you arrive. The day we arrived there were 30 amp sites available, but no 50s. There is a person responsible for sales (Thousand Trails is a membership organization after all), but they are more often doing other things like checking campers in or answering questions. Finally, the previous poster is clueless about how TT Camping Passes and Memberships work. If you are curious, there are Facebook groups; YouTube videos (Pro and Con), and websites with easily accessible accurate information. It sure isn't for everyone, but it works amazingly well for others. We found the staff to be extremely polite, helpful, and funny at this site.We prefer the new premium sites in Section E which are extremely large and we park in Section E. The sites are level, and at the far eastern end where we camp, there are lovely oak trees. The sites are gravel with grass in-between. Each has a picnic table and fire ring. The camp is extremely quiet and quite large. When it rains some of the gravel/clay gets muddy and much of the grass areas near rigs can be muddy as well. The campground has good laundry facilities (Under renovation as well as the Lobby / Ranger station on our latest visit). The new bathrooms in Section E are the nicest I have seen anywhere. The shower design is lacking though in that there is no outer curtained area for clothes and toiletries and a small bench, and no shelf or hanging area in the shower itself for toiletries. There is an unheated pool which in mid-March was cold, but I still enjoyed it as well as a hot tub in an adjacent small building (Smelled of slight mildew to me though). Section A is up on the Hill nearer to the pool. Sections A, C & D have lots of trees ad shade, but the sites are closer together. Section D is on the River, but you are on a bluff, so no easy river access from each site. There is a boat launch near the southern corner of the property. There are lots of hiking trails, and you will see small mobs of deer roaming the property. There is a small dog park that I think is an interim solution, near the Ranger Station on the north end of the site. Lots of places to walk the dog though. Our little 125 pound Newfoundland loved it here. Finally, there is a miniature golf course in the pecan grove that was in ok shape, but surprisingly fun.In the evenings, there might be hamburgers and hot dogs for sale, a movie night, bingo, or other activities on site.Columbus is a small town about 6-7 miles away. You can get most things in town, but the HEB and Walmart are smaller. Not a great selection of highly-rated restaurants, but a decent number of places. There is a nice meat market downtown, Keyser's with great meats. Small place, but great options.For cell service, we have a Max Transit Duo with a MIMO antenna mounted on the roof and T-Mobile phonesOokla Speedtest: (iPhone 13, 5G: 294 Mbps Down; 22.5 Mbps Up)Ookla Speedtest thru Pepewave Router: T-Mobile 128.3 Mbps Down, 5.75 Up; AT&T 108.5 Down, 29.04 Up.Our Starlink Dishy McFlatface is due in soon. Section E, where there is more space and fewer trees, would be best.

The unethical practices warning for long-haulers is explained further below. Essentially, this park -- and others in the "Thousand Trails" consortium -- is comparable to an exclusive time-share property for campers. The way this operation functions is this: If you are a "member" of Thousand Trails, you can camp here for free. To become a member, you will pay $700 per year. For that yearly fee, you are permitted entry to campgrounds within one of five regional zones. Want to camp in another part of the country that is in another zone? Sure - if you spend another $70 plus other fees for that one additional zone. Other zones cost additional fees. Other restrictions apply - like a 14 day limit followed by a 7 day departure, regardless of zone.For the unethical practices commentary -- This park is apparently run by a full time salesperson in his early 60s, named Mark. When I called for a reservation, Mark quoted me $52 a night for 30 amp service as a non-member price. He said that while they do have "some" 30 amp sites, they just opened a "brand new loop - premium sites - real nice!" He also noted that may be all out of 30 amp sites when we arrive but gave me a sales pitch on how would be happy to put our "premium fee" toward an annual membership - and why I should find that attractive. I clearly stated I was not interested in a yearly membership and reiterated my desire for a 30 amp site. He wasn't having any of that. Sure enough, when we arrived, he told us they were all out of 30 amp sites - even though the new, premium sites have 30 amp along with 50 amp service. Since this is the only section that is now available to us, we would be charged an additional $10 per night. On my morning walk within the campground, I had the chance to speak with some of the other campers in the older sections that have 30 amp service. They explained that two dozen or so older campsites within their loops had been taken out of commission by placing plastic sleeves over functional electrical poles. The campground did this so they could "redirect" reservations to the newer, more expensive loop. Of course, the newer loop is not full -- about half the sites are occupied.  The new section lacks appropriate signage, causing a lot of confusion after a long day on the road. It also mostly has dirt/gravel sites. We rate this campground two stars - one for functional electrical, water and sewer and the other star for convenience. We did not use any of the facilities.So the total paid for the two nights is $124.00. That's not the most we've paid per night but is on the higher side. Just be aware that when you call for a reservation, you will likely have to pay $10 more per night for a site than what you are quoted.My husband and I do not appreciate these shady, questionable business practices. We have no intention of returning - ever.

Both Austin and Houston are 1,5 hours so doable for a day visit. Heated pool and hot tub (which actually works!) is nice. Bathroom/showers very clean. Good library with a lot of books and magazines. I am surprised that this being a Thousand Trails campground, there are very few and tiny playgrounds. The laundry room and the rec area/library are both at the entrance, far from the campgrounds, so this place desperately needs a centrally located place where the kids can meet and play.
Quiet, peaceful, great cell service and you will see deer almost everyday!

My 3 preteens and husband do school and work remotely and all of our mobile hotspots work great. We never rely on an RV park's wifi so we have hotspots through our Visible phone and Calyx Institute (spring/tmobile network). It's really quiet here, long term residents and people who stay here short term like my family are all really nice. Nice walking trails and the deer families just live here. It's so fun to see them everyday. The campground is a little older so don't expect state of the art anything here or if you are a loud party person, this place is probably not for you. But if you are looking for peace, quiet, tranquility, hiking paths, and love to see deer, this is the place for you. By the way, the staff here are super nice and friendly. In fact, they are the friendliest that we have encountered during our year travelling in our motorhome.

We didn't test up around A specifically but stayed connected when we drove around the park some. Verizon/Visible service was very usable -- around 20-40 depending on location and which device (older galaxy note, new S21). Our sprint calyx hotspot was able to get between 7-12 without a booster in the D loop and 8-38 in the C loop with our booster on. Also, there is a wifi repeater for the campground on a tall mast located around C28 or so, which means that the wifi connection right here at C25 gets about 10-15 Mbp/s, very usable. So plenty of options for connectivity here.Bath houses very fresh and nice, clean and usable. Water in showers was warm, but hotter in our shower. Deer are everywhere here and come up close to your sites, lay down and take a nap even in broad daylight. Pool and hot tub are closed (covid) and we didn't use the other amenities. Wish there were more full hookups sites.It's relatively quiet here, full of nature but also close in to Columbus to get to stores and to the highway. We like this location very much.

It’s absolutely worth staying here if you are anywhere near Columbus, TX and need to stop. The staff will go out of their way to make sure your stay is a good one. There is a pickleball court so that was very nice to see and we spent several days playing with other campers while here. The town of Columbus, TX has a little bit of everything. La Grange, TX has a nice Christmas light walk that was fun with friends and family. In the park there is a swimming pool and hot tub that are open to guests. Pickelball, basketball, miniature golf, hiking trails, and river access to put your kayak into the Colorado River (no, not THAT Colorado river). I am happy with our experience and will gladly return when passing through again.

This was a major bummer as life is rough without a sewer connection! We chose water and electric only site A30 in hopes of eventually moving. Rangers Rick and Kim immediately expressed empathy and went out of their way to help. Rick offered us a 50 amp site but we declined because it was rather small. We then noticed that full hookup site A35 would become available in a few days. I called the office and Kim stated that not only would the site be held for us, but they would also place an "occupied" sign on the electrical post to keep others from taking it. Now that is great service! I also met membership specialist Jeff later during our stay and he was very nice. This park has some great hiking/biking trails. The roads kick up a lot of dirt on warm days so watch your speed. Section A bathrooms were excellent. Large showers with removable showerheads and very hot water. My only complaint was that the sink counters were built too high. I felt like a little kid when washing my hands! Here is a shocker: the free park wifi worked most of the time at our site. Holy smokes! This is incredibly rare at a Thousand Trails park. My AT&T phone had 3 bars and the hotspot worked fine. The staff also let us wash our tow car so that was nice. All amenities except the pool were closed due to Covid-19. Don't miss Hruska's store and bakery on Hwy 71. Delicious desserts and the best bacon cheeseburger that we've ever had!

We originally planned on staying for a 3 day weekend getaway just to try Thousand Trails and ended up staying over a week. Tropical storm Beta hit our home town of Galveston somewhat forcing a extended stay. When i contacted the office they (BARBRA) was super friendly and helped us extend our stay, we didn't even have to switch sites or anything. They took very good care of us and made sure to tell us that we were more than welcome to stay longer if we needed to. The facilities are nice with good size sites with picnic tables. They offer 50amp with water and sewer, 30amp with water and sewer, 30amp with water and no sewer as well as primitive camping. The pool is nice and almost everytime I passed they were keeping it clean. Roads are mostly gravel or rough pavement but if you follow the speed limit they are plenty smooth for even the biggest class A. The park is set beside the Colorado river and offers a nice spot to fish or launch small boats. The park is also nicely landscaped with large mature trees and well kept grass. There are many deer that roam the park. Wifi is spotty in bad weather but worked well most of the time when not raining. AT&T download speeds were about 70mbps. The putt putt course was closed during our stay. There are a few diffeent sections some with more long term tenents but they are mostly packed in the back away from the short stays. Laundry facilities were average with older machines costing $2.00 per wash and 1.75 to dry. I really enjoyed that they had a sign posted saying how long the machines take to do a full cycle. Little things like that are appreciated. One of the most outstanding features of this park are the bathhouse. Rebuilt after Harvey (according to the sign outside) these bathrooms are very nice with 3 nice showers and 3 stalls. The upscale County design feel makes it a nice place to take care of business. All and all we look forward to staying here again and hope the other thousand trails campgrounds will be follow the lead of awesome customer service offered to us during our stay.

The only real downside, not including the sites without sewer, is the shopping and dining nearby is pretty sparse. Overall a great stay at a really pretty park.

Half the sites don't have sewer hookup so unless you get lucky don't expect to land one when you arrive, but you can always get on a waiting list when you check in. I hate setting up twice so I went without. Verizon signal was super strong. Not much going on in the area but there's a Walmart and H-E-B about 10-15 minutes away.

Must be a new antenna or something.Not much nearby. One grocery store and the produce had seen better days. A couple of fast food places on the interstate and on my last night there I found a nice Mexican restaurant Los Cabos I think was the name. Large servings so expect to order on entree for 2 people or take a bunch home with you. Possibly my favorite of all the TT parks I have been to so far.

On the downside the hot tub looks terrible and is not in service, and the water and electric sites opposite the river are in need of some sort of pad, gravel or otherwise. The soft grass sites turn into a mud trap during periods of steady rain. We were told the flood last year washed out much of the existing gravel pads.

Sites are large, filled with grassy meadows, and nestled under the largest pecan trees I’ve ever seen! Outdoor courts were nice, pool was nice. Hot tub was quaint, but did the job! They love their Saturday night potluck and hot dog BBQ. the pace at this park is slow. It’s the sort of place you go to to feel things growing around you. The river is georgeous with great fishing. A very pleasant delight. Staff very friendly and accommodating.
Great Park

We love Thousand Trail's. Great value. This park is huge and lots of space. Right on the river. We come once or twice a month.
Don't plan on doing your laundry when you arrive

Been wanting to explore the state of Texas since we've never spent time here in our almost 40 years of marriage.Planning on doing our laundry when we get there... was our mistake. You see they have limited sites with sewer and the limit had been met before we arrived. So we spent 2 nights on a water and 30 amp site only. It was nice, had a large area to the side and back we could run our pup (long leash). But, no sewer so the dirty laundry had to wait. The 30 amps were a little less robust too then what we typically experience (50 amp is our desire and setup). On more than one occasion our surgeguard didn't like what was coming through so disconnected us from the shore power all together. So...that's what they make generators for. It's unfortunate when you have to run your generator while in an RV park. Ah, but after two nights there was a full hook up site with 50 amp available and that served us "Roughing it Smoothly" camper's very well. That site wasn't as roomy but this park has nice two track trails that provide lots of opportunities for long quite walks with pup in tow (or we in tow at times,lol). The staff was friendly and not so busy that they ignored you ( Although I'm sure that happens at times when they are overwhelmed and understaffed).Several of their sites along the river were ruined with the advent of hurricane Harvey. Also, the bathhouse is still being repaired as it took a hit too.Our experience in general with Thousand Trails is their moving toward annual campers who pay to stay for the season and the nomadic traveler (which they were originally all about) is just to fill in and not given as much in choice or options. Most of the parks are in sad need of upkeep, maintenance and updating but apparently the owner (Equity Lifestyle Properties) feels less of a need. Time will tell.Our Verizon coverage was good. Speed test this AM was download 17.86 Mbps and upload 12.64 Mbps. We do not have any kind of booster just a WiFi hotspot with a small antenna suction cupped to a window in our RV.

That night was particularly cloudy and cold. We would like to have spent more time here to enjoy the activities but we were in a hurry to get to warmer weather. The campground had some hurricane damage while we were there but most of the park is back up and running. They are also actively working on the remaining repairs. We did also have an issue with the water spigot but we notified the office so they could have it fixed. We liked that the bathrooms were clean and had spacious showers. We loved that they are a pet friendly park with a dog run. The staff was friendly and the wildlife was even friendlier. There aren't too many RV parks that have deer come to greet you, snow white style. We will definitely stay here again if we are ever back in the area.

This campground is part of the Thousand Trails network which we were members of for a year. I think you can book a spot here even if you're not a member though. Either way, it's a really nice campground. They have a lot of land and have spread things out, so you don't feel like you're crammed in.

I think you can book a spot here even if you're not a member though. Either way, it's a really nice campground. They have a lot of land and have spread things out, so you don't feel like you're crammed in. There are plenty of nice places to walk, pretty hiking trails, and the Colorado River runs right through the campground. Our site was spacious, level, and offered full hook-ups. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. There isn't much to see or do in the area, but if you're driving across Texas on I-10, it's a solid place to stop for a couple days.
