Patriot RV Park

I'm so glad we are only staying here for the night. The minute we pulled in looking for the office, there was a dog running off leash no human with it. My husband said the bathrooms were disgusting and dirty. I just got woken up by a pit bull with a shock collar standing outside my trailer barking endlessly before he wandered off. There was a dog was barking all damn night aswell. You're packed in here worse than a can of sardines. There is no room to stretch outside your trailer. Lots of dirty lots, garbage and personal junk laying all around. Deep in the park youll find trailers that obviously have not moved in a minute due to expired plates and definitely over 15 years, I imagine some may never move again due to the quality and eyesoreness. After seeing the quality, lack of sleep, closed pool, dirty bathrooms. $50 is so over priced. This should be max $30 a night. Hubby just took the garbage out and noticed lots of flooded lots, dogs sitting in crates outside trailers. Only good thing we have noticed was a level pad to park on. People seem friendly.

The good:
Quiet - it's not near the highways so it is quiet. There was a brief time the first night when some other camper was blasting their music but that only happened once. We occassionally heard a train in the distance but not loud enough to be unpleasant (IOW not like every KOA on earth.)
Level sites - the short-term sites have level concrete pads.
The WiFi is free, and we had enough Verizon signal to use our MiFi when we needed to work. The park's WiFi drops out pretty frequently but when it's working, it is okay.
Free cable, lots of channels. We don't normally care about this but during our stay we were stuck inside due to thunderstorms and tornado warnings, so it was nice to have it.
Laundry - 4 washers, 4 dryers. Looked decent enough but we didn't use them and I didn't look at the cost.
Staff is friendly.

The bad:
The bathrooms. There is ONE women's toilet and shower, and ONE men's toilet and shower, for the WHOLE PARK. That might be okay if there are only, I don't know, 6 sites total but this is a fairly large park. The bathrooms are filthy, and during our stay the men's was backing up so the floor was flooded and it was unusable. The women's was functional but that's the best I can say about it. Gross. Would not even consider showering in it.
Access - getting here is a bit of a challenge. The road to the park is not wide enough for two large vehicles so cross your fingers you don't meet a big Class A or 5th wheel coming the other way. A long, rutted dirt road.
The dog park -- it reeks because so many people don't pick up. Our dog is a frisbee fanatic but she would not pick her frisbee up off the ground because it smells so horrible. So it became the poo park only.
Um..."Culture?" Like every place we've stayed in Texas, they view rules as something for big-city sissies. So, there was a large dog that was allowed to roam loose throughout the park the entire time (belongs to a long-termer), there were two huge pitbulls (one actually looked like a Presa Canario or Dogo Argentino) being led around by teenage girls in shorts and flip-flops by flimsy cords around their necks (no way they could have controlled them if they decided to act up), no one else picked up their dog crap, etc.
Ants - We had to buy Borax and ant spray because there was an ant hill directly outside the door. The campground provided a concrete step to put over it. The rig next door had an old pallet to put over theirs.

In short, if you need a place to stop for one night and you don't want to hear the highway or be rattled by trains, this place would be fine. Just don't stay here expecting to use the bathroom facilities or a nice place to walk your dog or play with them.

We stayed there 2 nights to go to our grandson's football game. There are entirely too many trees with low limbs that scratched our motorhome while pulling into the site, which also means you cannot use your satellite (they do have cable). They do not assign sites, so you have to pull in and walk around the park first to decide where you are going to park. They advertise free Wi-Fi, but we could not get connected. When leaving, there was a huge pot hole in the road that you cannot go around, so just had to pull through very slowly.
