I'm here at Hideaway Lakes on a Friday night. On my way to EclipseUtopia2024. It's beautiful. It's a family operation; a really nice family. A fair rate was charged to my card at the gate For 10 bucks more they threw in a nice little pile of pecan wood and a metal fire-pit. I'm sitting by my self of listening to the happy families camping and fishing here. The vibe here is magic, to me. The history and family backstory are both interesting as well. . If you want a getaway or are just passing through, I recommend Hideaway Lakes. I will stop here on my way home. read more

More hours to fish and we get to pick what pond to fish at they don't let you fish wherever you want.

Cute spot and family owned. It's best to get in before sunset like the owner expressed but we were a little late. You will be driving down a long dirt road. It's a bit spooky driving along the pecan farms at night for about 2-3 miles but it is worth it and not as scary once you see it during the day. It's not super easy with an RV and car trailer but it is doable. The family is very sweet and funny. The campsite is quiet, relaxing and you're able to fish. If I go through tx again, I'd stop here for a full day instead of a pass through. Give it a chance, you'll enjoy the peaceful surroundings. Oh! And the ducks in the morning. read more

Had a great time at hideaway. We did catch some catfish and trout. The only thing is they have porta potty restrooms so my wife wasn't happy with that. It was $10 per car + $15 per line from 6pm to 9am or from 9am to 6pm. You are able to set up a tent and get a fire going. Staff was really friendly. read more

If you're near El Paso or Horizon City and you like fishing you gotta check out HideAway Lakes! It's a little on the pricier side side at $15 a pole, and you're allowed 5 fish per pole. If you do plan on coming and a big reason why I didn't do 5 stars is they don't offer food to purchase and the restrooms are portable restrooms which aren't always the cleanest. However, you can bring food in and grill and they also have a little playground for the kiddos! Their Facebook page updates when they stock the lake with new fish so you know the best times to go. We did catch 6 fish though in 5 hours which isn't the greatest but it's not bad for only 30 minutes out of El Paso. read more

very rude and unprofessional staff , they over charged because pricing is different in the website and in person , do not recommend wasting your time on going here read more

First off, 15 dollars a rod and 20 dollars a vehicle. We grew up fishing here over the years and always had a great time. Just moved back to El Paso and wanted to take my dad out like the old days. We fished for 6 hours and didn't catch a thing. Not even a bite with multiple baits. The lake was crowded and no one around us caught a thing. The staff was friendly but they told us the last time the lake was stocked was two weeks ago. When you pay that price to fish you would expect to at least catch a few fish. Still had a great time but they definitely need to start restocking the lake more frequently. Overall not worth the drive or the money. read more

Good place to take the kids to have fun. But I don't believe they put fish in weekly. Being from Alabama I know how to fish. That place seems like a waste of time and money. read more

I spent for 4 rods and 2 vehicles 100$, asked about a military discount and they said they had to charge me on a card and the total was 102.xx. I asked where the discount was and the little girl that cant do math in her head said that when they charge a card they have to add tax and the discount is less then the tax. Since i had company from out of town i paid and stayed but will never go back again. Do not waste your time here. I promise you will catch your fish but for us it amounted to 8$ per CAT fish not trout or anything else. very disappointing and the place is not nice at all. Surrounded by pecan orchards but its all dry desert. No grass, very few trees and horrible ownership. 3rd generation struck out! read more

HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE! We will not be returning to this lake! The young men running this place are rude and disrespectful towards their customers and on top of that NO fish. I don't believe they stocked the lake as mentioned. If you want to be mistreated then this is the place for you. I don't know how they stay in business with the kind of service they provide. If you want to enjoy some good fishing and camping I would suggest going to southern New Mexico. read more

Horrible experience. I had been to that place several years ago and it seems like they have new owners who are completely rude and disrespectful. They have a young man that is absolutely rude and shows no respect for other people. If you are going plan on not using their restrooms as they are just disgusting. The place is full of trash and guess what no fish at all. 7 of us went we were fishing for 5 hrs and none of us caught any fish. They should not be allowed to be in business with the kind of service they provide. read more

It's so sad. This place used to be a guaranteed catch. The last two times we have been there, September and November, the lake has not been stocked. I do not recommend this lake other than as a quiet campground. read more

It may be a great little fishing spot, but please be warned, it comes up as an RV Park - it is NOT! We were driving through S. Texas, very tired and needing an RV park, any park. Exhausted. Put in "RV Park" into our phone, HideAway Lakes RV park popped up. We turned down a very rutted, rough dirt road (glad we were not towing - would have been very difficult to get down the road), drove through an orchard, turned left and found ourselves in the middle of the orchard with two little muddy ponds. Locals were fishing in the ponds. My husband paid the young lady at the front, got back in the RV and told me to drive around to the end of the little fishing pond where our "deluxe" space was supposed to be. I asked him how much it was. $70. $70! They charged a $10 cat fee for our pet. We drove around the back, did not see any numbers on "spots," did not see any electrical boxes, no hose hookups, etc. It was described as a "deluxe" spot, we couldn't even find the spot! Finally got out, when up to find the young lady again (who had said she was immediately coming out to unlock the electric box but was still in the booth, talking with another young lady). Expressed our dismay that there were no electrical boxes, very little shade, no water, etc. And mostly about being charged $70!!! The most we had paid EVER was $40 at an RV park. She apologized for the lack of water, said we could fill up on city water in their office. The "electricity" was one box in the back, not an RV-park-type box at individual spaces, just the general electric for the fishing pond. Oh, and no bathrooms, just a row of several portapotties. We very nicely told her this was not an RV park, and asked for our money back. She was very polite, called her mom (who, I guess, runs it), and said that yes, we would be refunded. I expressed surprise that they would charge $60 a night (70 with pets) for no water, very little shade, no real RV spot, just portapotties. She was a very nice girl, and we appreciated her mother giving us our money back. But we felt compelled to warn people that this is basically just a local fishing hole where people come to day-fish. NOT an RV park! And to charge $60, definitely a rip-off! Drive on 20 minutes to El Paso. I hate giving such negative reviews, especially for small businesses, and hopefully they will be able to eventually equip it with regular RV park amenities, but even then, they need to come down about $30, at least. And they need to not advertise it as an RV park until they do get these basic amenities. read more

I would actually rate this place -5 stars. I went there on 3 July 2017 to take my son fishing. Being in El Paso there are not a lot of places to go fishing. Their times of operation are from 6:00-9:00am. We arrived around 5:45 to get a good spot. The place did not open until 6:30am. We were informed they don't have change and they only take cash. The on site bait shop did not open until 8:00 am which only left 1 hour for fishing. Then was told they were out of the bait I was planning on purchasing. The area had trash everywhere the on site restrooms were absolutely disgusting!!! My son was completely crushed that we could not fish because this place was not actually prepared to have people use their property. read more

Been here a few times and each time nothing. They advertise as being the most stocked lake in the state of Texas. Really think that's a lie. They tell you to look through there website for information but the person in charge of keeping people up to date must be poking their ass. If you send an email you'll get a message that the is just a programmed message they reply with that to everyone. The newsletter is non existent and the Facebook updates as well. It will also state that it's 10$ per pole plus 10$per car on the website then when we got there it was 15$ per pole and 10$ per car. They don't have change so take exact. The lake itself would be nice if it was kept in better condition with the trash blowing around. They also need better restrooms instead of portable toilets. If you take your car be careful cause you got potholes all over the area as well. I would say ... Keep your money and fish in southern New Mexico Instead. read more

Terrible service, I went yesterday 21 june 2020. Waited 2 hours to get in. Arrived at 9am, 20 cars in front of me. When I got to front the young lady said it might be full and she was going to go check. I got out of my truck the other attendant was smoking and joking with the truck behind me. He kept staring at my disabled veterans plate and laughing with his friend. Than came up to me and said I have to leave that I disrespected his coworker and it was private property and he had the right to refuse service to anyone. I asked for him to explain how or what I said to disrespect the young lady. He just got agitated and started pointing his finger and raising his voice. I wasn't thier to go fishing, I was going to meet my daughter and grandkids. I did not want to escalate the situation so I got in my truck and turned around. While I was turning around his friend passed me and went in and parked. First time and last time I will go to hideaway lake. read more
