    I'm not sure if I'm allowed to do this here because I haven't actually been to the camp. But this…read moreis my pre-review because I plan to go one day. The pictures that I've seen of this place preach. I sell land in Texas, Oklahoma and Louisiana. The rivers that we have experienced Remind Me! a lot of the Home that we all long for. I pray one day I get an opportunity to actually visit this place! It looks amazing. Attached are some pictures--I've included one of the river on the ranch at Waldo's Camp. A friend sent it to me. I've also included fun pictures--even one from my Landsale in Broken Bow, Oklahoma. The rivers there are absolutely incredible. I've heard the rivers in Texas are great! Just kidding. I know they are-- because I'm from Texas! I'm biased. Keep checking out my photos and you'll see ;) That's why I'm coming to Columbus one day and spending some time at the Camp! I hope they are ready for me! And when I say they, I mean the owner and any of his employees. I've seen him around town--on a billboard or two. That tells me something. It tells me many things actually, but one of them is that this is, straight up, a legit business. And when you see it, make sure to send a message to God, "thank you for your creation" and also to the owner, JP. Tell him "Jenn says 'hi'!" Yall are the best!

    This place is sooo beautiful! We are driving through Texas and decided to stay here for the night…read more We arrived earlier than expected but we had already spoken to the owner who was very welcoming and provided access information. Definitely recommend staying here to enjoy the surroundings, near the lake, animals and peace.

    Been here for two days, and have five left. After using all the (known) amenities I believe I can…read morenow properly review. I like to review based on the business as you cannot paint all places with the same brush, so keep that in mind as you read. First side note, this area of Texas is HUMID this time of year (July). I'm not surprised, but for someone that spent the last 15 years in Phoenix and Flagstaff AZ, I was not well prepared. This has nothing to do with the park, but it should be noted when traveling here that AC is a must if for nothing more than removing the humidity from your coach's air. Layout: Aisles are tight for larger rigs. We did not have any issues with our 26ft long off-road trailer, but a larger trailer may not have the same luck. Lots of trees, wildlife, and room for the kids to play. Overall the layout is a "B" at this time. Spaces: Far enough apart to make the layout less of an issue. While the hookups are on the correct side of the coach, for some they could pose an issue. That issue is that the park takes a fairly large slope down as you enter. I had approximately 6-8" difference from side to side. On a lifted trailer like mine it was not an issue, but a normal rig would have issues fully clearing their black and gray water due to the dumps being lower than the spaces themselves. We are avid off the grid campers, I'm used to not being level without coaxing, but also understand that is not typical for folks that only camp in parks. The spaces are a "C" at this time. Amenities: There is a large "gathering place" at the edge of the park. This has coin laundry, vending machine, a dining table to seat six, several chairs, men's and women's restrooms with HOT showers, TVs with satellite, and my personal favorite, a ton of old school VHS tapes. I was sad to not find a VHS player, but if I should find one on Craigslist this week it will be donated and they will for your stay. For a park of this nature this was a very pleasant surprise. Word of advice, sit in the gathering place after your shower for a bit to dry off and soak in some AC while writing your Yelp review like I am now. That will keep you from going back into the humidity wet and needing a shower again immediately. Amenities are a well deserved "A". Service: We arrived after close with a pre-booked space. Alice came a greeted us the following afternoon. She was extremely hospitable and explained the amenities of the park, thanked us for coming, and welcomed us to come to the host site should we have any issues. Service was definitely an "A". Overall: I really like this little park. Price for the week was fantastic, and I feel you get a lot for the money spent. Is it the Jellystone Park that you are basically at a resort but sleeping in your coach, no, but for what it is it is awesome. There are some friendly full timers here that were nice to talk with, nice grounds backing up to woods, and great showers to wash the humidity off. Would I come here again, I certainly would. I am quite happy thus far, and I'm certain you will be as well.

    DO NOT STAY AT THIS RV PARK!!!! If I could give this rv park…read morea zero, I would. You really do get what you pay for. Alice ( the landowner ) told us months ago she would give us keys for one of the individual mailbox's but never did and we've been there since September... When I would try to tell her I have a package coming in she won't answer calls or texts til a few days later. I have a screenshot of where Alice said she was going keep my package until we learned to drive slower through her park. The speed limit is 10mph, if you go 10mph then you will get complaints from the man who rents the first rv spot along with drunk men yelling at you to slow down when you drive by. I had packages come in and told Alice. When she said it didn't arrive, I called the post office who then said it was delivered. So I told her they said it was delivered... THEN she says she didn't check the mail.. but how would she know it didn't deliver if she didn't check to begin with. Last week I had my boyfriend text her to let her know we had packages coming it (because she won't answer my texts or calls to the phone number that is on google, yelp, etc...) and he asked her to call him when she gets our mail ( for a reason ). Alice texted and said she had his mail but never called like he asked (Reasoning: I only had a few days to return a package so I needed to know ASAP when it came in). My boyfriend went to get our mail from Alice, when he came inside I noticed he didn't have my package with his mail, he called Alice & told her I had a package also but of course she says "It didn't come in".. ( keep in mind I got a text earlier that day saying my package was delivered ). So to double check, I went online and tracked it. Can you believe it said delivered... We called Alice again & guess what she said... "I didn't check the mail" YET she gave my boyfriends mail to him So then I had to get the key from her & go check the mail box myself because she wouldn't. ******(Not only that but the mail my boyfriend received was opened)****** She said they thought it was their mail YET IT SAY MY BOYFRIENDS NAME ON THE FRONT Alice has put our mail/packages in her car.. She has also held onto our mail and not told us she has our mail unless we asked her about it and if she does tell us we have mail (which is every blue moon) we go to her home to get it just to find out she's not there. Older men making hand gestures to me every time they see me, also calling me "hot ass". One day those same men were at Alices rv spot when I was walking my dog. The men were making hand gestures towards me & I finally had enough & said "f*uck you". Right in front of Alice, one of the men said "Dont tempt me with a good time." Guess what Alice did about it.. Looked right at me and laughed... THATS ALL. Along with all that, the showers are disgusting & the washers leak, & she accuses people of stealing items from her buildings when she simply forgot where she put them... SHE IS VERY UNPROFESSIONAL!

    Super cute place and at one time must have been pristine. Could use a little TLC but the rustic…read morevibe and decor and covers the wear and tear. Day Spa Patrons - 3 ladies We came just for massages and wraps and were rather rushed through signing in process then whisked down to a relaxation room. While finishing up the paperwork our therapist came to get us. No time to relax. No tour of the facilities, nor shown the changing room which also contained robes which we discovered way later. It was a cooler April morning and my spa room I was put in was cold. My therapist hands were cold as well. I asked right away if she could adjust the a/c and she said no. She did go get me another blanket. The message was very good but my feet were cold the whole time. I put my swim suit on and headed to the hot tub thinking this will be great. Hot tub was not even heated yet for the day - put was on. When I asked about it they said to go to the front desk. The lady scurried to turn it on. Also the Bathrooms needed toilet paper. There were No towels by the pool. No cushions on pool lounge chairs as shown in pictures. You would think when you first open up in the morning you would have everything ready and put out. A quick tour or instructions would be nice too. For the prices we paid the attention to detail so lacked. I asked where the showers where and was told none and that only certain services included a shower. So if you want to go to a really cool place and pay 5 star prices and the little details don't care to you, then this is your place. I'm so disappointed since I wanted to take a friend there when she came to visit. My take away is that their bread and butter are the overnight guests who sign up for the detox program. It's too bad since they could have a good amount of clientele who are just looking for a nice spa.

These were included and helped to busy up the day Detox program 1/5 The detox program they do is just not for me - it included a morning proprietary detox drink with vegan protein, tea, oil blended together. It was terrible and very difficult to get down. Lunch was a liquid as well and similar except with more green stuff in it - also tasted terrible and dinner was thankfully a delicious soup. The soup was a major highlight. I will absolutely be making some on my own at home as fall approaches. The reason I rate this so low is that for the cost of this retreat there should be an option for participants to have additional whole, organic raw fruits and vegetables as small meals instead of or alongside these drinks. Complete deprecation does not work for me and it's disappointing there isn't another option available to participants. The only way I enjoyed my time was by supplementing my eating with fruit and veg I brought in from a local grocery store. I shouldn't have to supplement a reatreat experience to enjoy it. Logistics 1/5 There was just an overall lack of logistical organization during the 5 days. As someone who has worked to do logistics for events I know this either makes or breaks an experience and in this case it broke it in a lot of ways. Everyone had to get their daily schedules from the front after our class and most days, despite this being told to us as what to do at check in, the front seemed surprised we all showed up (unprepared). Schedules were hand-written and on scrap paper and for me, despite email correspondence about my schedule pre arrival, incorrect. As a result I missed one of my services (they did provide a refund) but this was a huge gap in expectations v reality. The program also advertised buying additional oils to use in your daily drinks (cbd) but this wasn't in stock so again, a huge missed opportunity. COVID related - apparently in Montgomery county where the retreat is located masks are not required. There weren't a lot of people and a lot of opportunities to maintain 6 feet distance except in spa services (no one wore a mask). This was a bit alarming overall. I would have felt better if I'd have seen some kind of screening being done for everyone at check-in (temp checks at least) to give some sense of covid caution, but there was none of this. There was hand sanitizer in one shared common space but again, it just seems like more could have been done to give people a bit more piece of mind (temp checks since masks were not being worn). Overall, I got what I wanted and needed from the experience but only because I supplemented it with what I needed. Therefore I give it a 2.5/5. It was a great space to recharge and reconnect but manage your expectations around it being a "spa resort". If you've been to 4 or 5 star facilities where the service is impeccable this will fall short.
