Other than the roads inside the resort having huge potholes (had to reorganize my RV cabinets and shelves from the rickety bumps), the spots were easy to park in and the length of the parking spot will accommodate large RVs The picnic tables at most of the RV spots need to be replaced! They are made out of wood and have weathered badly, causing the seats to be severely bowed. We were a bit uncertain about the strength of the seats so we didn't use the tables. The "Lodge" had employees available 24 hours a day which is good in case of an emergency, etc. I did ask them about renting a go-cart, as I had my disabled grandmother with me; they promised to call me back about renting a golf cart but after several more calls and visits to the Lodge, nobody ever returned my communication attempts. The little general store is convenient, and it isn't overpriced as one might expect. Be sure to bring what you need, if possible, as the selection is very limited. They carry bait but were sold out both times I checked. Purchases may be charged to your campsite. There is a small gated dog park if you bring along your pooch. I am glad I didn't bring mine, though, as the space needed to be mowed badly and my little 5-pound Toy Pomeranian would have been lost in the weeds. The pond is nice for fishing. Beware of the many turtles; they will chomp on your hooks constantly! Bring your own lanterns for nighttime fishing. If some basic improvements and maintenance were implemented, this RV resort would be better. Check in by 9pm; check out by Noon or pay a $20 late checkout fee. After 2pm, you're paying for another night at the campsite.

When we visit them, we do not spend much time on the lake because we like to stare at it while sitting in their big swing sipping Prosecco. There are cranes, feral hogs, deer, unique birds and other wildlife in this part of Texas. Should I mention we heard banjos playing in the pines...? The "Ranch" development offers a golf course, restaurant, tennis courts, miniature golf and boating. Lush dogwoods were in bloom when we were there recently, along with beautiful wildflowers and tall pines. I think when I die, heaven will look like Holly Lake Ranch.

I loved all the amenities and games they offer included in your stay, miniature golf, shuffle board tennis, and so much more. We also did horseback riding rented a boat and went to the water part which all were priced reasonably. I thought it was neat that they offered more of an outdoor stay feeling in some cabins surrounded by beautiful trees or more upscale in the beach club or at the harbor. We stayed at the beach club and really enjoyed the pool there. It was easy to get around and navigate as long as you explore in your car when you first get there with the map they provided. I would say my only issue with the entire stay was at check-in. The front desk staff can definitely be more friendly alone with the activities staff. Most of them were young girls that need additional training in customer service, some of them had attitudes. The mask restriction needs to end! People are on vacation and those that are uncomfortable can stay home or wear one on their own account. The order has been lifted it is not the resort's place to force their guests, who are paying to be there to wear a mask when the mandate has been lifted. Kelli the resort manager was excellent and is doing an amazing job! She was welcoming, kind and professional. In addition the pool staff was fantastic, the spa was not heating so I called the desk and Jonh Wade was there in under 15 minutes and fixed it for us. That was impressive considering how large the resort is, not only that is was very friendly and professional and organized.

Everyone loved the Rustic atmosphere. The kitchen is roomy, with a large dining area & family den where everyone could gather and visit. There are two bedrooms downstairs, one with a queen bed (the grandmothers took that one), one with four twin beds and a bunk bed, so six family members could comfortably sleep there. There is also a large bathroom with big mirrors & two sinks, so everyone could get ready for our event. Upstairs has a long dormitory style room with six twin beds & a couch. There is also a large closet, bathroom, and washer & dryer. The place was perfect! Our family from Missouri, Illinois, Texas & South Africa was enchanted with the tall pine trees, the friendly cats, dogs, and horses on the property. You just need to bring food if you plan to cook in the cabin, and toiletries, as none are provided. Don't forget salt & pepper like we did, but if you do, there is a convenience store at FM1275 & Loop 224 that has everything!
