Oasis RV Park

This was an overnite pass thru. We wish we’d have seen the other reviews first. Electrical service was poor. Our surge protector shut us down once because of low voltage. Using a plug in voltage meter, power ranged from 102V to the highest of 114V. It is close to I-10 which is also a con as well as the railroad tracks. The sites are dirt and ours badly needed graded to smooth out the ruts. Cable TV was satisfactory but the free internet was non existent. As one reviewer noted there are a number of junk cars on site. We’d have been better off saving the money and used it for gas for the generator. We would not stay here again.

We ended up here because Coachnet got us towed by the RV Park owner Lyle (who also owns a tow truck company, a garage, a motel, a taxi company, a movie theater and a church where he is the preacher - all on the premises). Lyle has a good heart, but he sure is quite the character. He talks a lot about the Almighthy, which might or might not be your cup of tea. The RV park is simply an open lot by the highway and train tracks. There are a few abandon cabins on the property, but the highlight is the enclosed pool/church/laudromat/used cloth store at the front. Unlike anything you've ever seen. Consider yourself warned.

We had seen this place on our last road trip across Texas (no RV) when we ate across the street at Mama's (a must, if it's open). When we made the trip again with our fifth wheel, we called ahead and made a reservation. They did not require a deposit. They honor the Good Sam discount, thus the $25 for full hookups. There were only a few rigs there at the time, all seemed to be en route and overnight like us. The owners were very nice. We had a drive through, and the gravel was level. We did not check out the pool facility. We did get a flyer with activities - such as the poolside church service on Saturday nights. We did not attempt to use the picnic table (see pictures), and pictures will show the tree at our "oasis" spot. We found the name appropriate, since it is a great stopping place when driving across the state. We love eating at Mama's, but if you want to splurge drive down the street a ways to the El Capitan Hotel (beautifully renovated hotel, we have stayed there before). They have a full bar and we always had good food - a little price, but very good. RV friendly gas station at Flying J/Pilot. We are giving the Oasis five stars for its quiet location, cleanliness and frirendly, helpful owners.
