Lake Conroe RV & Camping Resort - Thousand Trails

Unless you park your RV at the new section (all with nice, large, concrete patios) near the entrance (you'll have to get there before noon to increase chances of getting a spot), you'll likely end up with a pothole-filled dirt and grass spot that will turn into a river when it rains. Almost all of the streets are very rough, so you'll need to go very slow. Fortunately, they're working on two new sections with concrete pads. Hopefully the roads for those will be paved.

All that aside, the 50A, water, and sewer connections worked fine. Employees were nice. Free Wi-Fi was available which worked okay the first night but seemingly broke for our remaining two nights. T-Mobile 5G worked fine (80Mbps+ download). Keep your paper with the check-out date so that you can drop it in the out box at the gate on your way out.

Would recommend this place if they ever improve their street and site quality.

Our Lake Conroe Thousand Trails 2022 review shows both the good and bad. In this video, we give a walking tour of Lake Conroe Thousand Trails. Verizon cellular service clocked in at 14.2 Mbps download speed and 2.84 Mbps upload speed. AT&T cellular service clocked in at 36.5 Mbps download speed and 3.68 Mbps upload speed. T-Mobile cellular service clocked in at 56.8 Mbps download speed and 3.90 Mbps upload speed.

Could have been a 5 star park except they don't offer recycling, which should be standard at all campgrounds in 2021.

This park was great for the kids! Ours enjoyed playing at the playground, basketball courts, and inside the activity center. It was cold so we didn't get to use the pool, but it looked very nice. There is also a beach on the lake that looked super nice (again too cold for that). There were lots of activities and even a chili cook off while we were there. Would be a great park to visit in the spring/early summer when it's not too hot or cold in Texas.

There are some brand new sites towards the front, but we ended up in G. The older sites could definitely use some love. Our site was uneven, but we've hard worse. Water and elective worked great and the bathrooms near us were clean and updated. There are two laundry rooms that use an app and cost $2 a load.

Overall we enjoyed our stay and would return.

It’s obvious this TT location would rather be a housing development than an RV and camping location. The front B section is very nice although even being newer and concrete pads, still a challenge for long wheel-base rigs to get level with all wheels on the ground in many lots.

The rest of the camping spots are very hit and miss. Additionally, they don’t allow dog bone amp converters so if you have a 50 amp rig, you can’t stay in many of the lots. This coupled with the fact they allow 30 amp campers to take up the 50 amp lots, it’s very easy to not be able to find a usable space if you’re in a Class A or a long C without your wheels dangling in the air.

Sadly, this is becoming the norm at TT across the network.

This could be a TT showcase site if they’d improve the RV areas instead of paving streets and putting infrastructure in place for houses.

This stay was in April 2021.

Big park with lots of amenities -- dog park sections, fishing ponds, playground, lake access w/ boat ramp within the park, big nice pool, hot tub (down for repairs while we were there), RV washing area, large clean laundry room with credit card or quarter payments, tennis/basketball courts and mini golf that I saw them resurfacing while we were staying there.

Cellular internet was good pretty much across the board. AT&T had high speeds, Verizon and T-mobile/Sprint all had good enough speeds around 5+ Mbps and higher pretty much all the time.

We had a 50A site located with a view towards the pool and adjacent to the laundry room, playground and mini golf. The location was excellent for us. The main road in the park is in pretty good shape, the loops to the sites have some potholes and repairs needed, but not as bad at all as some other TT parks.

There is a section that is at the front that is fully concrete and pretty level pads with new bathrooms. We chose to stay closer to the pool with a view instead of on those concrete pads. The pads had pretty sharp inclines that we were concerned about getting into well. Once you were up that hill they looked quite level though. We may try that area in the future.

There is a grocery store close by (Kroger) in Willis but also the city of Conroe is within a reasonable drive to find other stores and resources. CVS and Walgreens also in Willis. Amazon pickup lockers are available just outside the gate at a neighboring facility.

Update: On our second stay at this park in May 2021, we found 5G service for Verizon, faster 4G Verizon (35+) and improved service on Sprint/Tmobile as well (around 15-20). I have not yet tested AT&T, no reason to fire it up yet. For roadworking people, this park has easy connectivity. No issues here for us even without a booster. I am updating our review to reflect that improved signal more towards the back of the park. I know Tmobile rolled out some updates a few weeks ago and Verizon's 5G was not online here at all last time so I don't think it's just the location in the park. This time we were at space E77, which has a view to lake conroe and is really a perfect location, in our opinion.

This was almost free with my TT membership. Almost because they charge $3/night for 50 amp service if your rig is set up for 50 amp service. No dog bone adapters allowed even if you have solar to run everything. Disappointing but expected from TTs. They really do try and milk every last dollar out of you. But there is no better option so we put up with it.
The road in was long and quite thin. 2 class As cold barely fit.
I stayed in the new section "B". Nice large concrete pads with real grass in between the sites. Lots of seasonal and annuals here. Being new one would think the pads are level. Not. And some of the sites have large ramps so depending on the rig you may or may not be able to get in without severely grinding the tail of the rig.
ATT worked decent but no so Verizon. Verizon was only able to get a 3G signal so speeds were unusable.
I only had three days here so did not explore the rest of the CG. I can say the bath house in B was the nicest I have seen in a TT CG. That includes a number of newly renovated TTs CGs.
The turn into the B section is no bueno. So they say to go up the road a bit and us the turn around to get in easier. Good advice.
Close enough (less than 10 miles) to any sort of shopping one may want.
Staff was very pleasant and helpful. A nice stay and I hope to return for a longer stay.
