Very charming might I add. :) The owners won the lottery & brought life back to this place in 2006. So glad they did! I noticed some other reviews about how this place needing a facelift since they opened. Well, wait no more! It appears recent upgrades have been made. There was fresh paint on the walls, no rust rings in our shower, new "leather" futons, & the "long awaited" flat screen tv's. Having a tv in our room didn't matter to us. We spent time bbq-ing on the grill outside out teepee, playing travel board games, & we even used the fire ring to make a bond fire in the common area behind the teepees. The outdoor future surrounding the fire ring even looked new. Our teepee was clean & cozy. I was impressed & in love. I would definitely come back. :) Hopefully I can bring a group b/c I'm telling all my friends about this place!

I really don't get the negative reviews for this place. Yeah, it's not the Ritz but it's cute and…read morekitschy and the experience is everything I expected it to be. The teepee itself is fine. The bed was comfortable enough (a little small for two people but what do you expect from a teepee?!), there's a TV, couch, mini fridge, microwave, desk. That's pretty much everything you'd get from a more traditional hotel so I see no problem. The bathroom is small (again, teepee) and doesn't have a real door so I wouldn't recommend sharing a teepee with someone unless you're pretty damn comfortable with them. There is a vent in the bathroom so that makes matters a little better. It's really nice to walk outside in the morning, sit at the picnic table and read, listen to the traffic go by. What more could you really want from a small town Texas experience?! I love the story behind this place. I love that some locals won the lottery and reopened it. I love that it exists. Oh, and I love that they allow dogs! My pup thoroughly enjoyed her stay. We frolicked through the lovely open fields surrounding the row of teepees and reveled in the excitement of knowing we would be sleeping that night in a room shaped like a teepee. Thank you for being you, Teepee Motel and RV Park.

Great music on Sunday afternoon while floating in pool and enjoying the swim up bar . No need to carry a cc as your fist and is what you pay with . On another note the wibit for bigger kids or adults is nasty and I'm sorry I have to say it but man it was nasty . We were not about to get or expose our grandson to the water as it looks like they out the blue chemical in it like a port a potty . There is no running water to filter it from what we could see . The kids wibit was in a Pool and very clean but only for small kids . The 2 slides are also in the pool area with the wibit . For the food from Chester's I give it a thumbs UP and the burger was awesome . They could use security around the camping areas as a kid is going to get hurt . Kids driving golf carts way too fast and their electric scooters and bikes . Kids throwing balls which 1 hit our truck but luckily didn't dent it . The camping sites are very clean and all concrete plus full hookups . We will be back just wish they would fix a couple if these issues listed above . All the employees were very nice and accommodating .

What a disappointment. We called ahead to see if all amenities were functioning and they said -…read moreabsolutely! We based our decision to stop off of that information. Even at check-in, they didn't mention any of this. Well, we get there and head to the grill because we were famished and ready for a burger, walk in and were told they only had one cook and they had a limited menu: chicken strips, wings and pizza. Not what we expected when the menu online had much more of a selection. It was basically a kids menu. So, we had no choice but order what they had. A corn dog, wings and chicken tenders. Gross, gross and gross. Undercooked corn dog, dry wings and processed chicken strips. The swim up bar was closed. The snack shack was closed. The slides were closed. Kids in the hot tub (which is clearly marked no one under 18 in the hot tub). One trash can for the whole area. Water was clean enough and drinks were okay, nothing special. Everyone was nice, but the person on the phone clearly should have told us what we were walking into. They put us in the spot right next to the playground area. We called and asked if the lights were on all night and how bright they were. Yes, on all night and no, not bright, was the answer. Good thing we requested to move because those lights were incredibly bright! Even from four spots down! Sunset was nice. Park is clean and maybe it's fun when they are at full capacity and everything is open and functioning, but it was less than stellar of an experience. Limited on pretty much everything. No maps with park info or anything. We tried to make the best of it, but not what we expected at all. Pretty bummed about the whole experience. Front desk needs to up their game and offer accurate information so campers know what to expect. Should've left when they said they didn't have any maps or info about the park.

Best RV park near Wharton! We have stayed there the last 3 1/2 months and have been VERY happy with…read moreour stay.The park is super quiet and well maintained. The grass has been mowed frequently and grounds free of any trash and debris laying around. Our blue heeler had room to run in the evenings. Free, unlimited wi-fi and Direct TV. Small on-site and affordable laundry facility. Best rates in town, located in the country between Wharton and Bay City. Miss Lydia has been super accommodating. She is firm with the few rules they have, which we appreciate. Video surveillance cameras monitor the front park and helps keep the park safe from theft or vandalism. The only drawback for us is there is no shade trees, to help block some of the hot sun, but is definitely not a deal breaker. Any negative reviews have Country Living confused with Coyote RV Resort which is also in Wharton, Here there is LOADS of drama, and some crazy owners strung out all the time. Part of our work crew stayed there and it was awful ! They wished they would have stayed at Country Living instead. We would be happy to stay here again if we are back in the area. Highly recommend Country Living RV Park!

I wanted to bring our fishing boat to the coast to take the family fishing but knew the entire trip couldn't be entirely fish focused as the kids, 3 and 5, along with my wife were likely to be unsatisfied if we spent all weekend running around the bay. I saw this KOA had a pool, arcade, shuffle board, ping pong, narrow beach and splash pad for the kids. What excited me was that it also has a boat ramp and very nice fishing pier/day dock. I thought this might be the perfect compromise of kids activities and the chance to take the family fishing without the risk of boring everyone to death if the fish weren't biting and/or I was unsuccessful in finding 'em. lol. We decided to rent a cabin for the weekend and headed down from Austin. The Port Lavaca KOA delivered! The facilities and staff were fantastic. Kids especially loved the splash pad and arcade. The cabin was very well maintained, air conditioned and comfortable. We stayed in one that had a bunk bed for the kids and a full bed for adults. An observation deck extended above the cabin to allow panoramic views of the bay and surrounding area. There is a restaurant on site with pizza, wings and a few other items. Laundry and shop with ice, food, camping supplies and beer/wine were also on site. About 20 minutes away is "downtown" Port Lavaca with a surprisingly large number of restaurants, including a couple that were somewhat higher end. Per the recommendation of the KOA owner/manager, Missy, we had a fantastic dinner at Taiyo sushi to partially make up for the lack of fish we caught ourselves..... Boat ramp was suitable for a shallow water boat, canoes, kayaks. Given the depth of Vaes and Matagorda bay, a shallow water boat is what you need the navigate in the area anyway. A bow rider, ski boat or pontoon boat would probably not be launch able here. A huge thunderstorm had hit the day before we arrived. As a result, the boat ramp had some sand and shells washed up that made launching tricky. Rather than risk getting stuck, I asked the staff at the office if I could borrow a shovel to move the sand out of the way. Two staff members showed up within 15 minutes with shovels and helped clear the ramp. Told me they'd do it, but I had intended and insisted on helping. Before we departed, staff allowed us to use a hose to flush the boat motor (salt/brackish water here) snd spray undercarriage of the SUV. They even offered to pressure wash the boat! Definitely above and beyond. In short, we all had a blast and will definitely plan another visit.

They rented a RV spot and we rented the yurt. Then my granddaughter asked if she could stay with us! So I called the office (before office hours) and they happily moved us to an available cabin (the last one)! I called back a few minutes later wondering what site our kids were in. She told me and I was delighted that it was just 5 spots away from our cabin. The next day my son in law told us that the campground had called and asked if they wanted to move to the spot next to us!! Of course they did, and it's been just wonderful! So much here for the kids. Played shuffleboard this morning and connect four. Then went to the sand beach, floated in the water and made sandcastles. Windsurfing from the beach for my son-in-law. Also love the pool and splash pad! Snow cones at 3, I better get going!
