First of all, this was a one night stop for us. I know the reviews were very good and I remember the good comments about the owners as well. I did end up speaking with Gail regarding an incident we had and she was very pleasant to me and my wife.
The reason I ended up calling them that night was because the office was closed and when we arrived there was an SUV sitting on our reserved lot. Seems like there was a party going on in the cotton gin barn and one of the participants had to much to drink. From what I gather someone there took him home so he would not be driving. I was glad to see that for sure. My concern was that even though the owners were not present a “brother“ of Gale, I believe, was there. They made it a point to put a traffic cone on the lot beforehand to prevent that from happening. Obviously it was ignored. Not blaming the intoxicated guy but the brother should have keep an eye on it for their customer, us.
They did ask us to move to the lot next to us,!which we eventually did. Two things wrong here. We didn’t know anyone here and just drove a long distance from Florida and frankly we were both exhausted. Last thing we needed was having a stranger telling us to just move to another lot without really knowing if he was who he said he was. Hate to say, but People do lie. Thats why I needed for the brother to connect us with Gale to verify it.
If I owned that business I would want someone to do the same thing. Don’t forget there was some drinking going on, so that added fuel to the fire.
We wish we could have stayed longer to tour the cotton gin.
We hope to stop by again some day as this was likely an isolated incident and was a...
Read moreI booked this location because it was a little past the halfway point of our trip. The day before leaving I called to verify that we had our reservation and paid for the site. The lady who answered was very nice and took care of payment, told me what site I was in and how to get there. All set. A few minutes late she called back and said they had a cancel and moved us to a spot that you basically drove right into. Great and very appreciative. Long drive and horrible traffic going through Dallas. By the time we got to Ole Town Cotton Gin I was ready to set up and relax. However, when I got to my spot, there was a extremely nice rig in our spot. No problem I figured there would be something on the office door for check in. There was not, just a bunch of envelopes with letter for you to fill out to find a spot. What? I was not in the mood to fill out any paperwork telling the RV park what spot I was going in, especially since that had already been established. I called the after hour office line and spoke to another nice lady who told me to pick out a spot and take it. Normally I would have been okay with this, however, I had already spoke to them the previous day and knew where my site was supposed to be. Why did they put someone else in my spot? Why couldn't they "find a spot"? I have my ideas that I will keep to myself. I decided not to stay here on our way back and don't plan on using them again. I can't say that I can recommend this place, but it is a spot to stop off at if you are traveling and need a night to stay somewhere. Maybe your experience will be a bit...
Read moreCan't believe that I have missed this place on our various trips through this area. Won't happen again as this is one of the best small RV parks that we in which we have stayed. Small channel selection, but good cable quality from a satellite feed with both the major "cable" news channels and one of the best WiFi connections I've seen while on the road. We will definitely stay here again on our next trip. The staff was great, gave a little history of the place. Easy to access from US-287 just north west of Quanah, TX in the small community of Goodlet, TX. Plenty of long pull thru and back in spaces and each space had a concrete pad and picnic table. The primary suggestion that would enhance the stay would be the addition of a well grassed and fenced dog walk. Train horns can be heard in the distance, but not enough to disturb conversation or my sleep, I actually thought added to the rustic feeling of the place as the old gin mill building has been converted to office space. As mentioned aabove, we will be back...
