Lake Texoma Thousand Trails

we liked our stay. The place is a little remote, but very pleasant. Its showing a lot of age on the amenities. Roads have potholes, bathrooms inside are rusted or broken, but functional and clean. Pool was usable. Cheap laundry. Weekend only onsite cafeteria. 1) Do plan to visit the HAGERMAN NWR area nearby which has great places for bird watching and a great gift shop, education center. 2) Also visit the TISHIMINGO. OK historic capital town of the Chickasaw Tribe not too far away. 3) Finally be sure to visit MUENSTER, TX German town for their festivals when in season. 4) don't miss the PELICAN LANDING restaurant only a mile away at the Cedar Creak marina. 5) also visit the new MEGA STAR CASINO that just opened maybe three months ago on the state line in OK.

We stayed here using our Thousand Trails membership. We had an open spot near the playground/pool/activity building. The buildings/bathrooms are definitely in need of an upgrade but work. The kids loved the playground and pools. It’s a little jaunt down to the lake (bike or drive) and watch out for spiders. They are everywhere! Coming from MN were not used to the big ones we saw!! Haha We had four that made their webs on our camper and wanted to hitch a ride.

The staff and other campers were friendly and our boys didn’t want to leave. We would definitely stay here again.

The campground is situated on the south side of the lake, and you can access the lake directly from the campground. The campground is in a heavily wooded area which provides some very nice shade to almost all campsites. Unfortunately, there was a significant problem with the park’s electrical system which put the family pool and clubhouse as well as all WiFi out of service. There is a nice adult clubhouse with large covered porches on three sides, and the staff is very friendly and helpful.

Pretty typical for a Thousand Trails membership campground - dated and in need of updates/maintenance. Bathrooms are just ok but acceptable. Seems like there's a lot of permanent/long-term residents but still plenty of open sites available. At the time of this writing one of the swimming pools looked like a filthy swamp, although that could be due to a temporary power outage in some areas of the park. Easy lake access if you have a boat. And the mosquitoes are brutal so bring bug spray!

Location: the park is situated in a pretty rural area so there's not much dining or shopping around (the nearest Walmart is 30 miles away). But it's pretty peaceful if you're looking to get away from the busyness of urban life. And to my surprise cell signal (Verizon) was pretty good for as rural as this place is.

Also, if you're a beer or wine drinker, Grayson county is a mixed wet/dry county so you're not going to find anything in Gordonville. But if you cross the Oklahoma state line (go north on 377 for roughly 5 miles), 1-2 miles after crossing the state line there's a convenience store on the left that sells beer.
