Park Review – Woodland Creek RV Park

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Location:
Tyler, TX
Type:
Commercial
Check-in/Check-out times:
2:00/12:00
Site Quality / Amenities:
Concrete streets and pads. Full hookups with a concrete patio and a picnic table as well as a fire pit at each site.
Staff: Even though we stayed for 3 weeks, we did not interact with staff at all beyond a few waves. Booking was all done via email and when we arrived there was an envelope on the door with our information.
Cellular/WiFi:
Excellent T-mobile service and nearly unobstructed sky for Starlink even though we had quite a bit of tree cover over our site. The park had WiFi but we didn’t use it.
What we liked: Convenient to the southern side of Tyler which in our opinion is the best side. Park was clean and well cared for. Lots of large trees. This is one of the most beautiful parks we have stayed in Texas.
What we didn’t like: Lack of personal contact with the owners who ran the park although we really didn’t have any issues where we needed them.
Verdict: We would definitely stay here again.

Park Review – Air Capital RV Park

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐
Location:
Wichita, KS
Type:
Commercial
Check-in/Check-out times:
1:00/11:00
Site Quality / Amenities:
Concrete streets and pads. Full hookups but no additional site amenities. Sites are very close together.
Staff: Staff at check-in was very friendly.
Cellular/WiFi:
Excellent T-mobile service and unobstructed sky for Starlink. The park had WiFi but we didn’t use it.
What we liked: Convenient to I-35. Park seemed pretty clean and well cared for.
What we didn’t like: Sites are very close together. Awkward layout, we had to use an extension on our power cord and a single sewer hose just barely made it. Security could be an issue although we didn’t have issues the night we stayed.
Verdict: We would stay here again for an overnight.

Park Review – Love’s RV Stop

Site 11

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Location:
Walsenburg, CO
Type:
Commercial
Check-in/Check-out times:
2:00/12:00
Site Quality / Amenities:
Roads are dirt/gravel but sites are concrete. There is gravel between the sites. Each site has a picnic table and premium sites have a roof over the table and a larger patio. Power and water hookups were good. There is no sewer but there are two dump sites on the way out of the park.
Staff: There was no interaction with staff onsite. Everything was fully automated.
Cellular/WiFi:
T-Mobile was 4 bars with download speeds of about 248 Mbps and upload speeds of 3 Mbps. The park also had WiFi but we did not use it.
Restaurants: We ate at TC’s Diner nearby the park. The place looks a bit rough from the outside. Inside it’s a typical old school small town diner with friendly staff and decently good food.
What we liked: Nice paved sites. Very quiet – we were concerned about being next to a large gas station / truck stop as well as nearby the freeway but there was literally zero noise from any of those. The entire campground is in a bit of a bowl which helps with the noise and could be protective for wind and other weather.
What we didn’t like: Next door to the park is a wrecker yard with some destroyed cars and one RV. The good thin is that it’s on a hill above the park so we couldn’t see most of it. There is also a county prison on the other side of the wrecking yard. Our site (11) was not level front to back or side to side although it was not necessary to use extra blocks.
Verdict: We would stay here again. This is definitely an upgrade from the KOA in Raton.n
