We "won" a free 4day 3night camping trip to here from Camping world and (Ocean Canyon Properties). We booked our trip for 4th of July weekend we actually stayed Friday night through Monday. The catch: This is a membership "timeshare" type park so our stay required a "90" min ( more like 2 1/2 hour) Presentation and tour.
Now I will get straight to the point. The park itself has potential. This would be an OK park if you didn't have to buy a $8,000 membership to be part of it and one additional park. They have 7 membership parks, but to get all 7 your looking into the $15,000 range, Oh but it comes with a membership to Good Sam coast to coast for an additional 199 a year.
We did our presentation on Sunday so we had some time to explore the park and the surrounding area. and really the only thing to do in Glen Rose where this park is located is the Dinosaur World park, and maybe the Dinosaur state park up the road (which also offers camping).
As for the park I will say that the spaces are large and most are pull through but of course to have a pull through membership you have to buy into the larger package. This park offers access to the River for fishing but the bank was so sticky muddy that its almost impossible to walk on to fish, I actually fell in the river helping my son with his fishing rod because the bank was so slippery, you couldn't even put a chair on the ground our it would sink right in, so that was a pretty much no go. You can call a company to come pick you up if you want to float the river as all three rivers come together at the back side of the park.
The Staff was not very friendly in the office with the exception of one lady, not a good way to treat people that you are potentially wanting to join your very expensive membership. They have one pool that was not very clean, no granted this was a holiday weekend, it wasn't that busy for the pool to be dirty with leaves, hair and grass in the pool. This is a great park if you are retired in your 60s or full time rv'rs that need someplace to go while traveling through. The kids room and activities were a joke, and we really didn't participate in any of the activities they had for the kids. We have camped at other parks and for the most part all the campers where friendly and inviting, we did not get that feeling here, Maybe because most were older or only there for the free weekend tour. So we were pretty board, If it wasn't for Ocean Canyon Properties ( the owners of the membership park) I think it would be an ok place to camp for like 35 dollars a night. We are members of Passport America and Good Sam, but the only way to join Coast to Coast is to join a park like this. The spaces had no BBQ or Fire Pit No cable, Did have full hook ups, but you could smell the sewer the whole time. They did have a girl come and play Guitar on Saturday night but not a very big turn out by the campers. and everyone kinda kept to themselves. The only real plus to this place is the couple things you can do outside the park. The scenery around the place is pretty nice and its off the main road a ways. The sales lady who was very nice and lives there even stated that they cater to the "fulltime" rv'rs. We had a good time as a family but was not very impressed with the park atmosphere or amenities For 8k dollars you think you could at least get cable LOL but in closing I think if this was a public park that allowed you to camp there without a membership and had some nicer staff and amenities / activities I would have gave it more stars. We probably won't ever use the free 25 nights they gave us for the tour. read more
