Southern Trails RV Resort

"This campground is not fancy and some people will find things to complain about. Daniel and I liked it. The cons: You hear the traffic noise from the highway but, after a day or two, you tune it out. The noise did not keep us up at night. You will also hear a train going by multiple times per day but Daniel loves hearing trains. The sites are small and close together but that’s true for really expensive resorts, too. There are no picnic tables or fire pits at the campsites. There is a community fire pit. There are also some people who live here full time but none of the sites were “junky”. The facilities are older but clean and functional. There is a small putt-putt course, a pool (we didn’t use it because we were there in December), and an older playground. We were told there are new owners who are focusing on fixing up another campground in Florida before fixing this campground up. The pros: The people are really nice. Fellow campers, Scott and Corrine, who are there seasonally, manage the social activities. We joined in on bingo and glass painting. The other campers were super quiet while we were there. We got a great rate with RPI ($9.50 per night). There are plenty of things to do within a 1.5 hour drive. We felt safe in this campground. There are pecan trees throughout the campground and you can pick pecans for free."

"This is an RV stop, not a hotel. Rooms were great! ( I brought my own!) If you are looking for a great RV park to spend a few days in, this isn't it! It's barely acceptable as an overnight stop. They do have full hookups, but they are located right next to the freeway. I mean, freeway, frontage road, RV park. All the 50 amp service spaces are the closest to the freeway. There are beautiful huge pecan trees and you can pick up pecans. The grounds are very pretty, they have a pool and a little chapel. The parking surface is gravel. There are no picnic tables at the sites. Thomas, the manager at the desk, was very nice and helpful. He said they have all the parts to upgrade the electric hookups for the whole park and put the 50 amp back farther from the road. So they are working on upgrades. It's just very noisy w the freeway so close. We slept ok.."

"Just wanted a nice quiet place to spend the night traveling in our RV. Southern trails fit the bill perfectly. Prompt and courteous service a very nice price and a beautiful place to stay."

"We stayed here for one night recently on our way North. We had advanced reservations and the site asked us to pay cash on site. We arrived just after 5 and the office was closed. No information was left for us like many campgrounds do. The sign simply stated to call and leave a message with what type site you had and pay the following morning. We left the message and proceeded to our specified site type. After trying 4 different sites we finally found one with working power. The next morning we stopped in the office to pay. No one could be found anywhere. I walked around the building and loudly said hello several times. After about 10 minutes we just left to get on our way. No one ever called to follow up after the stay for any contact or payment. Additionally the campground is on a small road requiring you to cross a high centered railroad crossing."

"To start, our GPS did not take us directly to this RV park, it’s just a bit further down the road . From the second we walked into the office we felt welcomed. We were immediately greeted by friendly staff who invited us to their dinner they were putting on for the guests . We used the water and electric site closest to the bathhouse. The site was basic grass but most of them were shaded with pecan trees. The shower house is older but very well take care of and always clean. The pool was refreshing but lacks a lot of shade spots to take a break from the sun. You can tell the people running this place are trying to make it something great . Would camp there again ."
