We are relatively new RVers and have no particular needs when we choose a park, other than if…read morepossible, we want it to be within walking distance of any water we're nearby, restaurants, sight seeing sites, etc. Typical tourist stuff.
This park is in a residential area and is quiet and very low key.
Al and Robyn are great hosts and are almost always on site. Another couple that fills in for them, Harley and Sara, were helping them when we got here so I did all of the reservations, etc. with them. So precious and friendly and helpful. Both couples are Texas friendly and will chat and answer any questions you might have. We ended up staying two months and if we didn't have more travel plans, we'd stay a lot longer.
Sites are on the smaller side, and has concrete pads beside where you park, not concrete to park on. You actually park on sand and grass, or in some cases gravel, but we haven't had a problem with leveling. Hookups and sewer lines are all easy accessible.
There are full time RV and mobile home dwellers as well. Everyone is chill, although there are some children and pets like you'd hear in a typical neighborhood. Quiet time rules are thankfully adhered to.
The bathrooms, though clean, are not new and are in a cinderblock building with the laundry area between the men's and ladies rooms.
Four washers, which accepts quarters, and Robyn will make change for if you need change, There are also four dryers, that dry like nothing I've ever seen.
There isn't a pool or a workout room or morning coffee, although during the winter months, they offer coffee and donuts and give everyone a change to chat and catch up. The Rec Hall isn't top of the line, and is basically tables and chairs, along with a mail/package delivery area, small kitchen and a table for donating or picking up items that you may need. I personally think this is a fantastic idea, and more RV sites should consider it. If you travel full time in an RV, you're very aware of how quickly you pick up stuff you really don't need, or outgrow, and it is so refreshing to have the opportunity to recycle, reduce, and reuse.
The Rec Hall is clean and well lit and surrounded by lovely pots of flowers.
Monthly rates at time of writing were a little over $500 (plus electric) a month, which includes water, cable and internet. Internet isn't the best, but it works enough.
There are always people out walking, sitting and watching each other. It is not gated, but every body keeps an eye out for each other.
There are beautiful Live Oak trees throughout the park, although Hurricane Harvey took out a huge portion a few years ago.
It's a short five minute walk to the downtown area, which includes pubs and shops, a great coffee shop and there are several artist studios as well.
Wonderful birds chirping, a near constant breeze and friendly residents make this a hidden gem.
PS--be sure to check out Zachary Taylor Park across the street, and say hello to The General, a 15 year old peacock that's the unofficial mascot of Taylor Oaks.
