Tex Bigfoot Posted March 19, 2017 Report Share Posted March 19, 2017 It looks like we have sold the farm. Closing is May 1 at this point. It does not look like we will ever be full time as DW will not hear of not having a home to come home to . This is something I can live with because we all know "if mama an't happy an't nobody happy"and that brings me to my question. We will most likely not have found our new home before the sale is complete so will be in the 5th wheel for a month or better while we continue to look. I would like some recommendations for a park in the area from people that have stayed there for more than overnight in the past. The area would be from I20 on the north to US 67 on the south I35W on the west and the city of Mansfield on the east .There are several parks in this area but having our home here we have never stayed in them Looking to know about things such as traffic noise , noisy residents that party all night (or the lack of ) good or bad stays , management of the park etc...

bruce t Posted March 19, 2017 Report Share Posted March 19, 2017 There is the 'old' RV Ranch south of Burleson on I35W. Right on the interstate and noisy. It's now a Jellystone and mostly for weekenders. (Now has a waterpark and lots of cabins). We have stayed there a lot. On 67 just near Cleburne is RV Ranch. We looked at that a number of times but never stayed there. Looks ok as you drive by. regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeanhoyle Posted March 19, 2017 Report Share Posted March 19, 2017 Ther is the Texan RV Ranch in Mansfield, Texas It is a gravel lot with spaces close together. But for a month it is where you want. We stayed ther for a month right after we went full time in 2005, then again in 2007. No trains just a little road noise from 287.

gjhunter01 Posted March 20, 2017 Report Share Posted March 20, 2017 How about searching and creating a list of RV parks in your area and then spend 1-2 nights in each one until you find a campground that fits your needs? This is a good excuse to explore your local area RV parks. Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tex Bigfoot Posted March 20, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2017 gjhunter01 That's a good idea . We may just try that. Jeanhoyle Thanks for the info had seen this park but never drove though it. And your right sometimes I think RV park is another way of saying "next to RR tracks" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Headenout II Posted March 20, 2017 Report Share Posted March 20, 2017 Think there is a COE Park on Benbrook Lake. Joined 20 Oct 04, as headnout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DKRITTER Posted March 23, 2017 Report Share Posted March 23, 2017 You're lucky you'll have time to check out any prospective parks. One thing is how a park can really change from day to night. It can look very tranquil during the day and then completely different at night after everyone gets home from work. It seems the places that get a little loud in the evening get loud again at 5-6 in the morning. 2013 Newmar Dutchstar 4318 2019 F150 KR 4X4 BlueOx 10K Tow Bar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gjhunter01 Posted March 23, 2017 Report Share Posted March 23, 2017 We are staying at Cedar Hill SP, has FHU for $30/night plus $5 entrance fee/person. Camp grounds are $$ is this area. Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigjim Posted March 24, 2017 Report Share Posted March 24, 2017 gjhunter, it doesn't take too long staying there to justify buying the annual pass which covers the $5 each entry fee. And it is good for a year and at all Tx SP's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Happy Posted April 3, 2017 Report Share Posted April 3, 2017 Around beautiful park is at Joe Pool Lake right off Hwy 360 south of I-20. It's a Corp of Engineer Lake. Run by the city of Grand Praire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigjim Posted April 3, 2017 Report Share Posted April 3, 2017 I believe the name of the one Cap'n Happy is referring to is called Lynn Creek campground the one on the other side of the lake is the SP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwoTiredTeachers Posted April 4, 2017 Report Share Posted April 4, 2017 We're big fans of Texas State Parks. Not far from Fort Worth are Cedar Hill State Park, Cleburne State Park (I've tried to like this one, but the sites seem small and terribly unlevel), Dinosaur Valley State Park (one of our favorites), Lake Whitney State Park, and Meridian State Park. The closest to Mansfield is Cedar Hill. See http://tpwd.texas.gov/state-parks/nearby/all-parks/ if any of these interest you. Good luck, TwoTiredTeachers .
