I had a wonderful experience with Carefree boat Club while visiting family in the Houston area. The…read moreowner of the club was around at the time and offered to captain us on a larger boat to accommodate the whole family. It truly was a day to remember, and if we lived in the area we would definitely become full-time members. Very professional, top of the line equipment, and fun for any boating occasion.

From the owner: Why choose Carefree Boat Club?…read more Because for a Fraction of the Cost of Boat Ownership you get...Unlimited Boating, With the Best Availability, the Best Variety of Boats, and the Best Locations.

Plus, with clubs all over the east coast (and Texas), you can enjoy it anywhere you go. As a members only group, Carefree Boat Club makes it easy, fun and totally accessible.

We were wanting to down grade or down size our trailer. It's a 2017 Keystone Montana 40' totally loaded. MSRP in 2017 was $87K+ these guys offered us $35K for a trade in. The trailer has about 1000 miles on it with a few problems (they were all covered by our warranty) they said it would cost $12k to fix them. We got everything fixed under warranty and things not covered and paid $2300 total. It's like new now. I'll never return here ever because I don't trust anyone here anymore. Take you own chances buying from here but if you read this "I told you so".

They never call you back even when messages are taken. I have spoken with management and it is clear they don't care. If they had a motto it would be "Buy and GET OUT AND NEVER CALL US AGAIN!!!"

Some time in the first half of July, Zack Malone promptly came to the boat to determine the…read morenecessary repairs for a leaky boat with a bilge pump not running. He expertly found the leak and the problem with the bilge pump. He listed all the repair work that he recommended and told us to expect the boat back on its lift within 2 weeks. He made a very favorable impression. 2 weeks later, he billed over a thousand dollars for the work (and was paid immediately) and said that he found another leak when he put the boat back into the water and that he would fix it. After 3 weeks of refusing to answer phone calls, texts, and email, he said that he completed the work and would soon return the boat. Weeks went by with no word from Zack. Then, he said he would return the boat. He didn't. Again, zero communications. Finally, the Thursday before the Labor Day Weekend, he promised to return the boat the next day so that our guests, including children, could enjoy boating that weekend. He didn't. Instead, I located the boat about 7 miles from his abandoned location on Blake Road; the boat was on a trailer under a tree, uncovered, dirty with lots of leaves, and without any repairs performed. Zack has not said why he lied repeatedly about having performed repairs, why he didn't do the repairs, why he billed for work, why he refused to communicate, or why he intentionally ruined the holiday weekend for my group.

It was all of our first time here at Splashway Waterpark and we were super impressed! From purchasing our tickets online to getting inside the park things were super easy and breezy. Like everyone else has been noting be prepared to fill out a waiver for entrance when you arrive as each person in your party will need to fill one out (digital/online) and show a QR code of your confirmation before you get access to the park. It was awesome we were able to bring it our own food, snacks, and drinks on our own! I loved this option as we have some picky eaters and drinkers and ultimately saved on costs for us on buying essentials like bottled water and electrolyte drinks to keep us hydrated of course! But don't worry if you don't come with anything as there are plenty of food options and fresh food & drinks for you to order throughout the park. We opted for funnel cakes to boozy margaritas and even pizza too! Rides and features for the waterpark were so much fun and safe. We had such a great time walking around exploring what we wanted to get on and beat through the June heat. Plenty of tubes and lifeguards all around to make your fun even safer and a no-brainer to try all of the rides. We especially loved the cool and semi-rapid lazy river. Their lazy river was wide and feels much longer than other Texas waterparks we have been to. We loved it so much we spent most of our time here. We didn't do any of the campground parking or RV grounds use as we had a hotel in a nearby town to be able to hang out with each other and have some hotel accommodations so I cannot speak to that experience here. Lockers were super easy to use and rent so don't fret about any valuables you have as they will be safe. There are 3 options for locker sizes too that can hold things like wallet & phone only (if needed) or a large bags and ice coolers. We were super impressed with our overall experience and will definitely be back in the next year for sure.

It is not too far from home and very new and clean. I am guessing this camp is less than five years old but the construction and thought process behind the layout is wonderful. They have a huge slide that goes into the lake. They have a theatrical theater, new, clean, very nice cabins that have AC. They keep out fresh fruit as snacks, and my daughter being a vegetarian had no problem at all. The leaders of this camp base everything (from what I can tell) about developing your daughter into a strong independent person. They stress the great women in history and the impact they made on our lives. They lead your child into coming home full of confidence and pride in the things they accomplished with out your help. My daughter did one week last year but it will be two this year. This camp made a huge impression on her life and I am excited to see how she grows in the next session this summer. This is a very nice safe and protected place for you child. I often look at the picture on her wall hanging out in front of her cabin , messing around with her friends, having the time of her life. Sincerely, Papa Bear.

I'm so happy that Piper and Popsie (the leaders) have been part of our lives. Some of my favorite stories my girls have shared.... When my youngest daughter went for the first couple years, she had a "big sister" from the 9th grade leadership girls. The big sisters are supposed to grant wishes for the little sisters. Well, my daughter wanted to stop time. So, her "big" got everyone in the camp to agree that if my daughter yelled "Freeze!" in the dining hall, everyone would stop in place for five seconds. It was an empowering moment to know her wish could come true in such a creative way. Another year, my older daughter was struggling with some friendship issues. When the counselors ended up giving her the firelighter award - as someone who represented the spirit of camp - her entire self-perception changed in a very positive way that carried forward out of camp. This year, the middle school girls wrote everything they didn't like about themselves on post its, stuck them on their counselors, then ripped the post-its to shreds... so they knew they could destroy the power those things had over them. On top of all these amazing self-empowerment moments, camp is just fun! My girls come back learning new songs, happy about new friends, and exhausted from having so much activity for two solid weeks. And they even rave about the food. We heart CLC.
