I’ve been here for 2 months and will be here for another. I made this reservation on a whim escaping from a bad RV park experience and wow what a great whim! The other experience was worth finding this park! It’s just the right size, has trees, is kept pristine, very friendly and is run very well by top notch people! Very reasonably priced. It’s also very convenient to everything in this tiny town of Benson and only 30-40 minutes from a month’s worth of excursions! The one small mention is if trains bother you, it could be tricky but it’s such a lovely place I honestly forget about them most days! 100% would stay again!
Great RV park right off I-10. Pool for the kids, big spots, everyone is super friendly. Close to grocery and Walmart. Yes, there is a train nearby, but not so close it keeps you up at night. Definitely an awesome spot to stop if you’re on the way through town.
We are back again after a couple of years. I believe they have done some more upgrades as the park looks terrific. Nice staff, very clean, nice sites. Safeway store right next door. Would highly recommend if you are in Benson.
We regularly stop here. Once was a destination vacation to escape stressful jobs! TWENTY years and no wear and tear amazing! Great place, clean, library, kitchen, pool table, laundry, 24 hour ICE ( I LOVE ice) living room big TV, EXERCISE room, hot tub, beautiful pool, rally hall, bbq, friendly people. Oh! THERE IS AN OBSERVATORY! An actual 🔭 ❤. Play it is close to lots of historic places. And convenient to Benson.
Great little resort in the heart of Benson. Trees, views and all the amenities, to include multiple dog parks. Had good times there.
