David’s land is a fantastic spot! The campsites are spacious, clean and well thought out, and the surrounding land is gorgeous. Tons of space to walk around and explore not to mention the shooting range is top notch. David is also super helpful in making sure your experience here is excellent.

Very nice campground. I would recommend not arriving in the dark because the sites are tricky to find.

It was not busy at all when we went 2nd weekend in November 2024. We did change spots we were not in #5, we switched to #9. Only negative thing is that you can hear the road noise, no way around that though. I am sure it is a packed park in December because that is where the Santa Christmas Train is in Rusk, Texas!
