If you're not familiar with Mt Pleasant KOA in Texas, you need to get familiar! This exceptional…read morecampground is owned by a young and awesome couple named Amanda and Jason Baker. They took this campground a few years ago in very rough rundown condition and have transformed it with lots of investment money and tons of labor into one of the nicest most "pleasant" places you'll ever stay. From the state of the art terraced and beautifully fenced dog park to the immaculately kept fishing pond with fountain, beautiful & totally renovated/updated pool, immaculate grounds, everything is perfectly manicured and maintained. Every single upgrade is obvious that no money was spared, only the best furniture and fixtures everywhere. Level sites, many redone with new concrete. Nicely paved and smooth roadways with sweeping roomy turns, no problems with big rigs, no low hanging branches on roads or sites, we are 65' long. Updated electric, plumbing and 90 channels of crystal clear cable TV! Did I mention the perfect wifi signals? We were the furthest site from the office and were able to stream effortlessly. Immaculately clean bathhouse, laundry, no ruts in roadway, no low hanging branches, the upkeep and attention to detail at this place is just exceptional! The staff is so "pleasant" and Jason is constantly working around the campground to keep it looking perfect. Whether you are just looking for a super clean overnight or want to stay 5-6 days like us, this KOA will not disappoint. Need propane or firewood? Jason will come to your site, pick up the tank, fill and return it to your site, hassle free. I had a bum knee on this RV trip and Jason handling that for me was a treat. The beauty of this place is that they didn't provide that service because of my knee or because they liked me better than others, they do this for everyone! This campground is small but gorgeous with the nicest people owning & running it you'll ever meet! Ignore any reviews about highway noise, ALL KOA's are close to the highway, thats why they are so convenient and the road noise was minimal, some people will just complain about anything. We are 5 hours away in Oklahoma City but I promise we will be back, this place and it's owners really made quite the impression on us! Oh and let's not forget about Brenda their 14 year employee and main office person, she is just the best! -Rob & Crystal Rogers Oklahoma City, OK

I love being in a cabin that the deck is lake-side and have been here many times. The accommodations are what you would want - clean, comfortable, kitchen, full bathroom, outside deck and the AC works great! Your entertainment is up to you, the lake beckons, long conversations on the deck, read a book among the trees. You are in the heart of the Piney Woods Wine Trail and nearby small towns with boutique shopping & different levels of dining. Grace Lutheran Church Sunday service nearby allows you to make a full weekend of your trip. You will not be watching TV or surfing the internet. Signal is possible, but you are in the woods after all!

We talked to the front office about it and they said they would call housekeeping and nothing.. none of the issues were fixed besides the coffee maker. We also ordered from the canteen and it was the slowest service I have ever experienced. The employees seemed completely lost and not sure how to run it. For the amount of money we spent, we expected a little more. Probably won't return and will go To camp Fimfo.

Mixed Experience at Jellystone Park in Tyler, TX - Won't Be Returning…read more We visited Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park Camp-Resort in Tyler over the 4th of July weekend, renting multiple cabins to celebrate with family. The water park was definitely the highlight -- our 2- and 4-year-old had an absolute blast. The main pool was also a hit with the kids. The fireworks show on the 4th was fantastic, and the overall list of amenities is impressive on paper. However, the rest of the experience didn't live up to expectations. Cabin Conditions: * The A/C worked well in the living room, but bedrooms didn't cool properly when doors were closed. * Every cabin we rented was noticeably dirty -- floors hadn't been swept and one even had old hot dogs left in the microwave. * A power outlet in one unit was missing a cover. When we reported it, we were told it wasn't a concern since it was behind a couch, and that no replacement was available. * Shower water pressure was barely a dribble. Booking & Check-in Issues: * Reservation originally showed 2 adults and 1 child -- we corrected this twice (via email and phone), but still arrived to find the wrong number listed and missing wristbands. * After addressing it at the office, an employee from the back (who hadn't been part of our conversation) loudly accused us of lying across the lobby. Extremely unprofessional and embarrassing. Thankfully, the staff member at the front counter resolved the issue. Canteen Inconsistencies: * Friday's ice cream experience was a pleasant surprise: generous portions and great value. * Saturday was a different story -- disorganized line, over 30 minutes of waiting, and significantly smaller portions for the same order. Other Observations: * Some activities were fun, but it felt like we were being nickeled and dimed: expensive gem mining bags, having to pay for mini golf balls, and constant unexpected upcharges. In summary, while the water attractions were great for our young kids, poor customer service, cleanliness issues, and lack of consistency made this stay more stressful than relaxing. We won't be returning. Anything else I need to add?

Places like this are exactly what you make of them, and for me, it was exactly what I needed…read more After months of being buried in work and feeling worn down by all the noise in the world, I booked a 4-night, 5-day stay to unplug, reset, and just breathe. This was my first visit, so I can only speak from my own experience, but I left feeling refreshed. If you're a nature lover, you'll probably fall in love with this place. There are beautiful ponds, towering trees, plenty of birds, and gorgeous scenery everywhere you look. I visited in July, and despite the humidity, I was pleasantly surprised by the almost complete lack of mosquitoes. One thing to know: the atmosphere depends heavily on the weather. My first two days were rainy, so there were only a handful of guests. Personally, I loved it because I was looking for peace and quiet. If you're hoping for a livelier social scene, check the forecast before booking. From my experience, weekdays are generally slower, while weekends are where the energy picks up. The accommodations were comfortable, clean, and had excellent A/C--which you'll definitely appreciate in the summer. Service deserves a special shoutout. The owners and staff were incredibly responsive; anything I needed (within reason) was just a text away and handled quickly. My accommodations included a small cooking range, but the cookware was fairly minimal. The café kitchen was happy to provide extra items when needed, but I'd recommend sticking to simple one-pot meals. The mini fridge also fills up quickly, so pack accordingly. If you're offered a tour of the property, **take it.** I expected a quick walkthrough, but it ended up being one of the highlights of my trip. It was informative, interactive, and gave me a much greater appreciation for the property and its history. Just remember your sunscreen and something to drink. As for the crowd, the vibe is refreshingly body-positive and welcoming. If you're expecting a glamorous **Miami South Beach** runway, this probably isn't your scene--and that's exactly the charm. The people I met were genuine, friendly, and there to reconnect with themselves, nature, and, if the opportunity arose, other like-minded guests. A few practical tips: * Bring your own toiletries--they aren't provided. * Complimentary filtered water is available on tap. * The café is fantastic. The food was genuinely delicious, but it's only open on weekends, so plan ahead if you're visiting during the week. * Nearby towns aren't far away, but delivery options are limited and can get expensive. * Wi-Fi is only available around the common areas, although cell service was surprisingly reliable. * Bring comfortable shoes if you plan to explore beyond the pool deck. * There are complimentary canoes available for the main pond, which made for a relaxing afternoon. One piece of personal advice: don't come trying to impress anyone. Come with an open mind, an open heart, and be unapologetically yourself. That's when this place really shines. One thing worth mentioning for first-time visitors: compared to another clothing-optional resort I've stayed at, special activities are expected to remain discreet and respectful of others. Considering the property spans around 100 acres, that's easy enough to do and helps maintain the relaxed atmosphere. Lastly, they're genuinely pet-friendly--as long as your furry travel companion plays nicely with the resident four-legged locals. Overall, this wasn't just a vacation for me--it was a reset. Whether you're looking for solitude, nature, meaningful conversation, or simply a place where you can let your guard down, this resort creates the space for exactly that. I'll definitely be back.

It was very friendly, the food was outstanding (especially the pizza made from scratch, the…read morebreakfast was also incredible) they were very accommodating and a lot of fun. They held a bonfire on Saturday and we had a great time. They have board games in the main house you can play etc. We stayed in one of the cabins and it was nicely decorated and clean and had everything you need (outside of a bathroom which we knew when we booked it). I would advise providing a mirror at least in the room since there isn't a bathroom. Also, think about printing out a visual map of the property so people can explore on their own and find their way back easier (I can do this for you if you like). The dock at the lake/pond was beautiful and people were fishing and kayaking. All in all a nice little excursion out of the city with "family"!

Later that day they gave us a courtesy call to let us know that some storms were coming in and if we were coming in from the west we'd be hitting some significant rain. Pretty nice. Very good RV park. The sites are nice. Not paved but still very good. Small gravel makes it easy to level. Picnic table at each site is on concrete slab. Full hook-ups. When we got there and were hooking up a member of the staff drove by our site and called us by name and asked if we were doing ok. Great service! Very nice large pool. It's open 9:30a-9:30p. They have a volleyball net and basketball hoop so you can play in the pool. Park is pretty large. There is a pond out back where you can go fishing. They have cabins available and a few have good sized decks that overlook the pond. Nice tent area with covered picnic tables and electrical outlet. Would like to have seen grills at each site. Cabins and tent sites seem to have them, but RVers like to BBQ, too. Also some recycling bins would be good. We pulled in after dark and the entrance was not very well lit and there were a lot of cars due to an event in the Rec Center so it was hard to see where we were supposed to park to check in. Overall a good campground. I'd come back.
