A little PSA to anyone living in their camper: steer clear of Galloping Snails RV Park in Bryan, Tx. The managers communication skills are non-existent. Long story, but let me paint you a picture. On May 13 we began looking for somewhere to call home in Bryan, Tx. We sent a message to Galloping Snails RV Park asking prices, other general questions, and confirming our baby gate was going to be allowed. This is a must for us with 2 under 2 (one of them being a toddler that tends to run). Pictures are included of these messages approving our baby gate (by the manager). Fast forward to Nov. 21, I found a letter (pictured below) taped to our door that stated we had 24 hours to remove this baby gate or we would be evicted for not following listed rules. In response, we spoke with management, showed them the prior approval we received for this item (from them), and showed them the rules and regulation page straight from their website (which made no mention of having a "pet fence" as they called it). This is all pictured below. The manager stated he would speak with the owner and tell him all of this information, and that he would be in touch with the owner's response. We never received an update, so we assumed it was approved. Fast forward to December 8, I found yet another letter taped to my door stating we had 3 days to evict for not following previous requests to remove the baby gate. Attached to the eviction notice was a very aggressive and ugly hand written note from the property manager (pictured below). This note states we were told at the time we moved in that the gate was not allowed and we chose to put it up in spite (again we had written prior approval for this gate). We were never told we could not have it up. The note also states we took our gate down at one point then later in the weeks put it back up in spite. This gate has been up since the day we moved in. There are cameras all over the park to prove this. The manager states at one point that I called my dog "protective and aggressive" when she (the note says he-my dog is a girl) got out of our camper without knowledge. If you've ever met my dog, you would know she is the furthest thing from aggressive. No one has ever described my dog in this way (especially me). We had just gotten home from a trip so we were unloading the camper (she states that I said my husband was in the shower-he was not and I never said this-we were unloading). With all of our moving around our dog got out accidentally and wandered out to find us. I returned her to the camper immediately. Along with many other lies that are being told through this letter, the thing about it that concerned me is the aggressive way she told us not to contact her or her husband. At this point, it was very clear she was beyond reasoning with. At the end of the day, the communication in this matter was not handled the way it should have been. Instead of simply asking us to take the gate down because other tenants were having issues with it (we would have understood this), we were given a notice to vacate or we would have the police called on us. Before this notice, the property managers never made mention of this gate to us. This whole situation went from 0 to 100 in no time at all. And it was over something as silly as a baby gate ("pet fence" as they prefer to call it) and bad communication. No matter how our stay here ended, we are happy to be out. If you ever find yourself in the area, please be cautious. The property managers are kind to your face and sneaky behind your back. They tack on "fines" to your monthly bills without warning and will do anything to help themselves look good. read more

Galloping Snail RV Park - Howdy !! - RV Parks Near Me - Bryan, Texas

What a great find! The RV park is located just off a main Bryan roadway (W Villa Maria ) yet the surroundings are ideal. The whole left side of the park backs up to a huge meadow where horses roam free and the wind gently bends the coastal grass back and forth. Colorful birds abound. The park is well maintained, clean, and in a quiet country setting. There is a large fenced in doggie park area in the back, and a laundry mat, shower and restroom at the front office area. The park is not paved with concrete yet, but the base is plenty firm and drains well. The owners are just next door and keep an eagle eye on the place. We have been parking our RV there for over a month and love it! read more

The Galloping Snail is the best-kept secret in the Bryan-College Station area for RVers and anyone like me who is just squatting until I find the "perfect" condo to purchase. Garland, the owner/manager, is very hands-on and ensures the safety and peace of his park and its inhabitants. The Clubhouse is absolutely charming and has many nice perks, including a bowling lane! This place simply cannot be beaten for economy and ambience for one night or months. read more

Very nice, quiet and well maintained rv park in a rural setting, yet just minutes away from shopping and dining in Bryan College Station. We were there for two months while a family member underwent radiation treatments. The hospital was also just 15 minutes away. Very nice, clean bathrooms and laundromat. We appreciated having two dog parks, one for small dogs and one for large. We hope to stay there again next fall to be able to shop leisurely for Christmas again! We appreciated the friendly management and how they looked out after our safety. read more

The Galloping Snail is an adorable place to stay outside of Bryan. The owners Garland and Tamara Crabb have worked hard to give it a fun but retro feel. The club house is air-conditioned with a 50's style camper trailer gutted and made into a kitchen area. There is a reading nook, pool and foosball table and even a one lane bowling alley with vintage pins. Nice cleans bathrooms with laundry facilities too. We only stayed two nights but will definitely go back again. read more

Very enjoyable place to stage your RV. Sites are very firm gravel with full 30/50 amp hookups, water and sewer services. The owner is very visible and the park is quiet. It's located on Jones Rd. just off of Villa Maria at SH 47 and close enough to the campus, Kyle Field and Blue Bell Park. I recommend it !! read more
