Car Forum / Driving, Maintenance, Tuning / RVs / March 2007Kind of curious I noticed this the other day.
I live in the texas area and found this website talking about RV parks, anybody ever visited any of these or could suggest some good parks or resorts out there for a vacation? http://www.rvxpress.com/about.shtml http://www.rvxpress.com/usMap.shtml Just curious, but with all the nice state parks and COE parks available in Texas, why would you even consider a commercial park. I see where Joseph Myers <joemyers@news.teranews.com> contributed: >Just curious, but with all the nice state parks and COE parks >available in Texas, why would you even consider a commercial park. Dunno specifically about TX, but nationally one reason might be that some "CEO" parks have been turned over to slovenly private managers who have jacked up the rates, and let facilities slide.

I stopped in there recently to take a look since I live nearby. The park is quite nice, right on the lake (Watt's Bar) with nice facilities. It was early winter when I was there, so it was not full and there were not a lot of people around, but many of the sites were holding RVs. Facilities were nice with a dock, rental boats, children's play equipment, barbecue facilities as I recall. The place is new; maybe 2-3 years old. There are few as nice nearby. It is located on Highway 70 that parallels I-40 just east of Rockwood and Harriman. Exit I-40 at the new Lowes store in Midway and go south to Hwy 70, then west for about 2 to 3 miles. Watch for the sign on the left, it is not an eye catcher. Other RV parks nearby are Eagles Nest and the Cross Eyed Cricket.

The Cross-Eyed Cricket has a great, rustic-style (but very nice) restaurant which specializes in fish (trout?) caught in their own pond. Absolutely delicious and not expensive at all. Open to campers and "outside visitors" as well.

We would go there every year and fish for trout and catfish, then eat our catch and have ice cream and apple pie for desert. I suppose the ponds are still there and may still be stocked with trout and catfish. But, the restaurant is closed. Nice place...
