Thousand Trails Medina Lake (RV Campground) — Hotel in Bandera

I am giving this park 5 stars because the vibe of the park is private, peaceful, and quiet. As another person commented in their review, Medina Lake definitely has that Wilderness vibe which I liked. I read the reviews that the lake was dried up but that's not why I came here. There are lots of beautiful deer to watch, the park is very large, so tons of walking available, the pool is huge, and staff is nice. Out of the Way Cafe down the road is a must. Their food is delicious! So here comes the "however." This park has so much potential but they do not maintain their sites, meaning, no one mows or trims the sites to prepare for the incoming RVer. Grass is literally thigh high and I am not exaggerating. I could post pictures but I'm not like that. I heard they have staff shortage and turnover but they do have a tractor with a mower on the back of it that can easily mow a site in less than 2 minutes. One day, I saw what I thought was going to be a lawn mowing day but turned out to be a guy cutting through the site literally leaving a mow mark and then left. He literally is driving the tractor and not manually pushing it. I was shocked. You have a machine to do the work for you! I understand you are short-staffed but it doesn't take a lot of coordination to maintain and mow sites as RVers come and go especially when you have only 40 sites occupied. First impressions are EVERYTHING!!! Painting the ranger station at the front gate was not a priority, maintaining and mowing your sites are. So to those RVers visiting Medina Lake, BYOM, bring your own mower, or BYOW, bring your own weed eater. You will need it. Happy RVing and...

The place is disgustingly gross!!! All of the restrooms are dirty(the ones that even work)! The laundromat is gross and dirty!!! There are employees sitting around inside at the office staring at the Walls...but...apparently don't care about the cleanliness of the amenities! Poor management!! When a manager doesn't know how to MANAGE and/or delegate,is when reputation of the entire establishment gets affected. I am a member and have left numerous times because I am disgusted with the dirtiness...!!! I have emailed, called and now, I am leaving a review. Next, I am canceling my membership. I would not suggest this...

This place is very rustic... like camping in the woods! The roads are full of potholes, or the potholes are occasionally surrounded by pieces of road... its a dump, but if you like rustic campgrounds you may like it here... just have solid tires because I doubt older tires will handle these "roads" The sites do have water, sewer and electric... i guess there's something to be said for that... Boy does this place need work... I hope i don't get a flat tire here.... Ohhh and don't miss the haunted house... its really creepy..... Thousand regrets... Its really hit and miss with this...
