Rented 1 Canoe & 1 Kayak. The facilities and staff are so nice! A little more $ than other nearby outfitters, BUT MUCH NICER restrooms, boats & campgrounds. Can't wait to come back to camp!

We had a great experience! There were several float trips to choose from, so their estimates of how long each would take for how fast the river was flowing helped a lot in picking which one.

I spent some time at this campground recently and thoroughly loved it! The new owners, Mark and…read moreDale Lina Martyn plus their kids, have many renovations and upgrades planned. If the cabin I stayed in is any indication of the level of their plans, you will have an amazing time there! The cabin was comfortable and very clean. The kitchenette was also very clean. The cooking utensils were sparkling! You can tell the pride in ownership by the care and maintenance of the campground. They have pull through and back in sites with 30 and 50 amps sites with full hookups! The views from the platform and boat dock areas are not to be missed. The views from your jet ski and boats are definitely not to be missed! Beaver Lake is large, beautiful, and very clear while refreshing to have a swim! You may even see a bald eagle or two checking out the area! The tent area is on the lower grounds closer to the lake! A major plus is not having a mosquito problem anywhere! Especially close to the lake! The pool is clear and offers a place for the family to enjoy and relax after your day around the area. The general store is always well stocked for anything you may have left behind that you need or want. They are Veteran friendly! If you need anything special, don't hesitate to ask for it. It is a quiet place to get away from the hustle and bustle of life. The owners are always ready to help! I highly recommend this campground to anyone!

Always a great place to stay. We come up here at least twice a year from the Houston Texas area…read more It's a beautiful area and the park is always clean and quiet. Been coming up here for around 6years for the nearby sites, fishing on the lake as well as the nearby mountain bike trails and competition. It's also a beautiful area for motorcycle rides and a lot to do in the area. The owners are very nice and accommodating. We will come back again soon.

We stayed in campsite 47 literally had one neighbor two campsites away. I liked that we were in the woods and no one else was in the area. But no frills dirty algae pool. Firewood $10. a bundle or 3 bundles for $30. A-lot of Bees will sting the shit out of you and uneven parking for your camper. The picnic table had nails sticking out and one got me under my fingernail. Bring a lot of leveling blocks. Roads are in disrepair you probably won't go over the speed limit of 5mph that how bad they are. Other than that I would stay again off season!

If you are looking for a family friendly campground, you would be better served taking your…read morebusiness elsewhere. Tall Pines employees and campers alike are allowed to speed through the park, nearly running people over in the process, but will complain about your children in a heartbeat for playing outside at all. Despite the posted 5mph signs throughout the park, as well as signs we ourselves have provided, they do nothing to ensure safety; no one is at the park to run the office, or provide essential or necessary maintenance. They only come to the park when there is a complaint about children, or the cops have been called. Laura, who lives and works on the grounds, drives through the campground in her black Nissan Titan like she is a Nascar driver, and has almost hit kids and adults doing so. No one tells her to slow down, just to keep the kids out of the way or leave the park if you can't keep the kids under control. As far as pricing goes, Christina will offer a fair price to start, then recant on her decision despite proof of receipt, or how far in advance you pay on said quoted price. While the campground itself is a beautiful place to be, the owners are very lazy. They put more effort into their (Best Western) hotel, where you're more likely to find the staff working and avoiding campground calls, than you are to get anyone's attention inside the office, or to actually run the park. We were treated very poorly by the staff during our short stay here, despite our best efforts to try to work with them to make this a safe place for all. They were unwilling to take any sort of accountability, or give any corrective action to those who were more willing to remain uncooperative. Do not plan on making this a full time home for you and your family. It will only come down to Christina being at your residence for unjustified complaints that they can't prove one way or the other who is at fault. I would leave 0 stars if I could. This place is an absolute joke.

Nice swings and kids play area. 3.5 star update, because the WI-FI is spotty and only works intermittently. Internet is an issue in the whole area, apparently, but if your work or school depends on staying connected, you better bring a back up option!

Wonderful RV park! We originally booked 2 nights here but extended our stay an extra night because…read morewe enjoyed it so much. This park is family run and it shows. They are putting in a lot of effort to improve the park. The family that runs it is very nice and helpful. It's located right across from the Laura Ingalls Wilder museum. We walked over one afternoon and took the tour of her home and walked through the museum. Neat place. The RV park is very grassy with gravel. Our site was pretty level and had lots of shade. Not all sites have full hookups so be sure to ask when you reserve. Some are just W/E. There is a creek that runs along the property that is cool and beautiful. Fun to splash in. Lots of trees on the property. There is also a small pond, a natural cave to explore, and plenty of areas to walk your dog if needed. A bathhouse next to the office has two restrooms, two showers, and laundry. We used the showers twice. They were small, but clean. The bathhouse is not air conditioned or heated so summer showers can be a bit hot and muggy and I imagine winter showers quite chilly. THE WIFI IS AWESOME! I could not believe such a small RV park had such great wifi. Thank you, Riddick family! The small town of Mansfield is just down the road. We enjoyed the local icecream shop as well as the pizza and pasta restaraunt. Overall, this is a great RV park. We will definitely stay again if we're ever in the area again.

The water shoes in the shop were a fair price. The large cabin was perfect, being close to the main cabin. I would've preferred having outlets where we slept, which was the pullout couch under the stairs.

Overall, I recommend this campsite. I booked this last minute, so one of the few spots that were…read moreopen was at the late night loop. The noise ordinance is midnight for the rest of the campsite other than the late night loop which is 2 AM (or at least that's when things got quiet). Our campsite had great shade but wasn't on the water (late night loop 104) but was near the bathroom which I appreciated. The showers and toilets could be cleaner but I feel like there is only so much they can do with the amount of lake swimming and sheer amount of folks using the restrooms. I definitely recommend water shoes not only for the lake but also the showers. Although I brought supplies for making French press coffee, I ended up getting an iced late at the coffee shop in the main office. We had some of the breakfast buffet (carton eggs, sausage, hashbrowns) and it was all pretty good. We signed up for a glow tube night trip on Friday and a float trip on Saturday. Both were fun but I don't think I'd need to do 2 float trips in a weekend in the future. The resort drops you off at the tubing drop site up the river and you end either at the resort or a mile up the river where they'll bus you back. It's pricey but it does include a lot of amenities and is definitely a one stop shop for tubing. I think next year we'll look into the cabins or pods. ;tldr it's pricey but you get hot showers, toilets, coffee, and busing for the float trips built in. Late night loop is rowdy so if you want something more quiet, consider avoiding this area.
