We spent almost two full years here as weekend residents, hoping the place would improve, but it got worse. I'm a career property manager and grew up on Lake LBJ, so I know what this kind of property needs. The new owner, the original owner's son, seems not to care. The managers are terribly rude. Kim, the main manager, had the maintenance men use our privately paid WiFi without permission for a temporary resident next door, apparently because there was no service near the park entrance. That same person was allowed to park less than six feet from our RV, perpendicular to the other RVs. People speed along the road, including the manager's family. The property is advertised as a resort, but don't be fooled. There are no boat docks with lifts, covered fishing pier, or water trampoline. The splash pads only work sometimes. The exercise room has black mold on the wall from a leaking bathroom behind it. Public bathrooms are gross and outdated, and the laundry room is outdated too, with washers and dryers often out of order. There are few picnic tables, and they're warped and need repair. The swings, benches, and waterfront railings are missing boards. The old wooden docks are unsafe, and instead of repairing or removing them, they put a couple of 2x4s there to keep people off. The recreation room smells of mold and mildew and is very dated. The miniature golf carpet is torn, making it unusable. Palm trees that froze years ago were cut down to waist height, leaving ugly stumps. Nonresidents are often launching boats and jet skis and parking trailers in no-parking areas. The maintenance truck is badly damaged and not street legal. The whole property has a lot of deferred maintenance. I hope this helps others avoid making a bad reservation.
The hot tub usually isn't hot, and there are no handicap rails at either the hot tub or pool.
This is my favorite place for vacations and getaways, hands down. It's right on Lake LBJ, and every visit has been a good experience. It's an older resort park and the facilities show their age, but the mature trees, helpful staff, and upkeep of the property make up for that.
The location right by the water is great, and it's close to a winery, caves, and Marble Falls. But the campground needs work, especially for what they charge. When it rains, the whole campground floods. Our site turned into a huge mud pit, and the people traveling with us had to leave early because of the poor site maintenance. Gravel like some of the other sites had would've helped. The spaces can also be tight if you're towing a large trailer.
The place is pleasant enough but dated. Our RV site was dirt, though mostly level. Friends in a condo said it was nice, but it smelled like a cat had been there. The restrooms weren't air conditioned, but they were clean. The pool, splash pad, and putt-putt were small but nice, and a dog run would be a good addition. The main letdown was the missing amenities. Nobody mentioned on either phone call or at check-in that the water slide and water trampoline were crossed out in the packet, and those had been a big reason we chose the place. The rec room was booked for our whole stay too, which would've been useful to know beforehand.
