There were trailhead signs on either side and both were clearly marked. We decided to start with the Savannah Loop which is approximately 2.5 miles long. There are about eight differently trails of varying levels of intensity. The trail was clearly defined and well maintained. The signs make it easy to follow the trail and find your way around. There were quite a few hikers this morning, many with pets on leashes. Everyone was pretty friendly and courteous. The trail was very peaceful and very quiet for the most part. We didn't see much wildlife, but we found some lovely views. We will definitely come back for the other trails.

"Neighbors", also apparently long term residents, helped us get set up and leveled after our RV was delivered. Very quiet place, lots of deer, some guineaus (the bird), hummingbirds, and just a generally peaceful atmosphere. Picnic table at each spot. Not meant to be a luxury park, but super relaxing. This being our first time living the RV lifestyle, we love it!!! Thanks for a fantastic stay!!!

Full video walk thru HERE https://shorturl.at/xKpOH…read more Do not take your family here!!!! Our third rental was an unregistered vehicle that had not been inspected in three years and had endless issues that plagued our entire vacation and added days of driving around the desert in 100+ temps WITHOUT AC to find parts and/or a mechanic. Our first two rentals (2001 and 2017) had zero issues, so the lack of customer service wasn't evident until we had dangerous problems on our 2024 trip... and then they left us on our own, with a piece of garbage RV falling apart around us in the sweltering summer heat... three women, a 4 year old child, and a very hot dog . Literally, the manager (David) left for the day without calling us back, knowing our predicament, after being repeatedly asked to call us back over several hours. Thanks, David In addition to the AC not working, no cruise control, and the truck engine overheating, plus the rental car and hotels during the worst of the mechanical problems, we also discovered that the microwave didn't work, so ALL the food we had prepped in advance to "heat and eat" was a waste of time and money. I briefly considered burning the RV in the desertand flying home, but I look awful in orange. This is not a real threat, just a very real example of how frustrating the entire ordeal was. We eventually fixed the issues (over and over) and ADV offered ONE day free, but we had to rearrange our whole trip at the height of travel season to accommodate the issues with our existing reservations, so we wound up needing additional fee extra days to get home, but the 4th of July closure made it so we couldn't return it until SATURDAY. Guess who had to pay for those days we didn't need? We did. We were supposed to be home on the 29th, finally got home on the 3rd, and had to pay in advance through the 5th because of their mechanical problems. When we brought it back, we received ZERO APOLOGY for our hardship and were NOT allowed to speak to the manager we repeatedly asked for... who was standing right out front and totally ignored us when we drove up in that rolling safety hazard, and again ignored our request to speak to him, brought by a customer service rep. When we walked up to him outside he was rude and blamed his sales reps for not dealing with the situation. Eew, David. Our family trip to see multiple national parks was turned into a nightmare from day one thanks to this irresponsible business. We will NEVER use them again. Photos of the BROKEN ladder we had to climb daily to fix the AC, because the AC motor mount would come unscrewed every time you used it and sounded like rocks tumbling in a dryer. We originally paid $5,234.20 for two weeks and had to pay $1,061.70 for the extension, for a total of $6,295.90 plus another $865.29 in hotels, rental car and über to try to resolve all the problems. That doesn't count plumbing parts, tools we had to buy, or extra gas driving to different cities looking for a mechanic. Ten days after we returned the RV, the ONLY response has been a $347.69 refund, which comes nowhere near to covering the extra hotel and rental expenses we incurred and submitted for reimbursement, let alone the extra days we had to reserve. No phone call, mail or email to apologize for anything or communicate any resolution. We will now be seeking legal counsel due to the major safety issues we were left to deal with on our "vacation" in one of their unregistered rental units.

This resort is nothing more then some land that belongs to someone out in thr middle of nowhere that has what looks like nice villas on the property but nothing more then a shell of a building. My husband and a group of guys went for a guy's weekend. No one checked them in or took them to their rooms they just guessed basedon the info they were given when making the reservations. The website says that the barn bunk house in which they stayed has a full kitchen that it comes with all cooking utensils and eating utensils. That is false! The stove was broke, there were only three plates(six guys) the couple of pots or pans they did have were dirty. Worst of all, it got down to 24* that night and of all things, the heater was broken. The guys all slept in their jeans and coats. My husband came home sick a well as a couple others! I have heard this place is extremely shady! No hot water, cable or Internet problems, and lots more!

They seem to be busy yet forget that customers are their livelihood. Internally, after going a BINGO game led by Sharon, we had a great time and felt better about the Park only to be evacuated on 7/4/2025 by Centerpoint Volunteer Fire Department. No follow up by ORR, no return calls even when phones were working, left several messages, sent messages on FB, comments, nothing yet they commented "all people were accounted for." How did this happen? We never heard from them. They have lots of full time residents which is okay. Yet don't seem to care about others? Not sure. Life is too short to deal with their office staff. Just a note to the relatively newer owner, Willie: if you'd up your game with the office staff, you'd have a lot more business. Everyone that I talk to complaints are the same.
