Wednesday, 11 October – TT Lake Conroe, Willis, TX 77318

On the road at 9.15 am, starting our 135 mile trip south towards Houston.  It was a good trip, the roads were OK, some roadworks but no delays.  Saw lots of cotton growing.  The I45 was eventful, on the north bound lanes we saw the result of two 18 wheelers coming together in a way not intended.  One was facing back our way and the other was in the ditch facing the right way.  Didn’t look like anyone hurt, luckily.

Oops!
Arrived at TT Lake Conroe, they are expanding, 67 new concrete patio sites (The Reserve) have been laid out next to the existing park.  They hope to have it all open and operational by November.  Good to see some money being spent by Thousand Trails.

Nice new flat concrete sites in The Reserve
This park is much more like the resort style we kinda expected from Thousand Trails. The roads are pretty good, the pool looks lovely with it’s matching red umbrella’s and cabana’s as we pass on the way to find our site.

Manicured hedges, grass and lovely cabanas
WIFI here is by a third party and so is the Cable TV, you pay for both.  We picked a 50 amp full hook up pull through site in section F, close to the pool and activity centre etc.  Usual surcharge of $3 for 50 amp.  Our site is almost level but quite narrow, it’s one of those double side by side sites designed for two rigs, each facing opposite directions with their road sides together.  There is no one next to us though, in fact most doubles here have only one rig on them.  Our grass area is a bit hilly, will need to watch our heads on the awning won’t we Kim!

After we have set up and had something to eat, I go off for an explore.  The pool indeed looks very nice and I will head there soon, there is only the one pool but there is an adult only hour from 9-10am.  The Jacuzzi is adults only.  The cabanas look inviting!

Could while away an hour or two here!
Poolside, lots of vacant recliners, one has my name on it!
Firepit
There is a sandy beach on the lake with a boat rental kiosk, some docks and a boat launch. 

Beautiful Lake Conroe
They have permanents here too but they are away in a separate area – Extended Vacation Sites they are called here, the ranger told us not to bother looking for a site in those areas.  The activity centre is central and close to us.  Outside  activities include mini golf, tennis, pickleball, softball, basketball (I through a few hoops for practise) and volleyball.  There is a fitness centre, café (not open today) and a separate adult centre.  There are some cute cabins in the Getaway Village  too.

Overall it has a nice feel and we will enjoy our last six sleeps in the coach here.

  1. Sounds as if you've left the best for last. You might even get back in time to attend Suzanne Willis' farewell morning tea at Spring Chickens on 26 October!
