In my opinion the park is not well maintained. Many trees that their leaves cover you RV and drop acorns constantly. I did luckily meet a few very nice people while I was there.  The activity director couple were not very friendly to renters that I could see. Planned no real activities but ice cream socials and cards.

I would not come back until they fix their problems and get rid of the camper in site 237.

When we pulled into the campground we were excited. They had pretty grounds and views of the river. The cabins looked nice but always felt damp. The beds were hard and the fans squeaked if you used them. So we had to turn them off. Most cabins are connected to one another and you can hear every movement your neighbor makes.

We went here because of the heated pool but it was still very cold and the Jacuzzi was a green color. The river and docks were very well maintained and the grounds were as well. Friends stayed in their camper and they said it was a nice site for their RV with the sewer and electric hook ups.

I do not recommend going there though if you have children under the age of 15. The staff and owners responded to every sound and movement the kids made. They weren’t allowed to have fun in the pool or playing on the grounds. We got disciplined if we had the doors open for the breeze, if they ran down the road playing, if they walked through an empty camp site, etc.

Do not take your dogs unless you will be with them 24/7 and they are quiet as well. You must also buy their fire wood so do not bring any or they will back you get it off the grounds ASAP. Don’t move their picnic tables either or you will be fined.

This is a private campground and they enforce every rule and there are a lot. To bad to because it was a beautiful place.

The campground is not within walking distance of any attractions. There is no cable TV and no phone and there appeared to be questionable inhabitants in the park.  The trailer that I stayed in has been broken into; gasket removed from the window and glass taken out. Previous occupant of the trailer that I stayed in had moved out and kept the key to the one that I stayed in.

The manager stays in a dilapidated 5th wheel and does little to monitor what actually goes. I do not recommend this RV park… I do not feel safe and it is not family-friendly.

We had a very nice full-hookup site that was large and level with nice views of Falcon Lake. There’s a boat launch right in the park which makes it a great place to boat and fish. There’s some truly great bass fishing to be done here… and we saw many fisherman return with some of the largest bass you’ve ever seen.

Next time, we’re bringing our rods… and staying longer.

The staff and maintenance man were extremely helpful and friendly. The amenities were nice. The laundry rooms and restrooms were always clean. The cable and WI-FI worked great too. I will stay here again.

If you’ve got a big rig, I would recommend parking at the gate and taking a short walking tour to determine if you are comfortable driving in. Some turns are tight and there are some low branches.

The camp host does a nice job keeping the place clean and firewood is available at his site. Several hiking trails begin at the parking area across the highway. We enjoyed three nights of quiet seclusion. If dry camping appeals to you, this is a nice place to spend some time.

We found this to be a mostly motor home/giant 5th wheel park of winter Texans who appeared to come for the whole season each year. There wasn’t much room for newcomers–social circles are pretty tight.

The thing that we liked least is not the park’s fault, but an issue for us. The park is very close to the border and Border Patrol helicopters flew at night frequently awakening us, back and forth. The newspaper was full of stories about shootings and there were tales in the park of having to go to the movie theater in the am so as to avoid your truck being stolen.

I suppose if you wanted to stay within the gates, wear ear plugs to bed, and venture out only in groups during the daylight this isn’t a problem. We like the Tex-Mex culture a lot–but this patch of ground seems to be under seige.

The campground is very clean and quiet and it surrounds the Poche Plantation home which made for a one-of-a-kind experience for us. The couple that manages the park lives on-site and were very friendly and helpful, letting us know about the local attractions. The park is located within a short distance of several other plantations and we were able to visit Houmas House and Oak Alley during our stay. Several restaurants are nearby and we would never have found them without their direction and these places would be considered a best-kept secret … the food was fantastic.

This Park offers a large cottage with attached washeteria that was very convenient for us since our 5th wheel does not have a washer/dryer and it also has a reading room inside and a kitchen that campers can use as well. The showers were very nice for a campground. We were lucky to get a campsite at Poche … the camp ground was full when we arrived and apparently serves a lot of the plant workers from time-to-time. We would have stayed at the overflow park down the road from the main park but we ended up arriving as someone else was leaving.

We really enjoyed the tour of the plantation and we were just a short walk from a very old Catholic church. We were told that the Plantation, Church and Cemetery offer a well-known “Graveyard” tour by a local historian and actors during the month of October. We will be back for that. Internet was a little unpredictable but could get access from time-to-time. I recommend reservations …. we never make them and again, this place was full. The office was difficult to find; however, the manager met us at the entrance and helped us park our camper. We also travel with our dog and the levee made for a nice stroll in the mornings with him. We stayed at Poche RV Park in a large 5th wheel.

I stopped and inspected every RV park I encountered with any potential, I was looking for the size motor coach the park could accommodate, (I have a 40′ coach). electrical hook ups, bathrooms club house management and over all desirability.

At Turtle Rock RV Resort, you’re nestled between the Pacific Ocean and the Forest and a River, you feel as though your miles from the town of Gold Beach but it’s a two-minute drive. You’re escorted to your space and advised on the hook up procedure and assisted if needed, the resorts facilities laundry and bathrooms are clean and well kept. Staff are Friendly and helpful.

Turtle Rock, Turtle Rock hands down Turtle Rock is my RV Park Of Choice. Price, physical size, accommodations and natural beauty Turtle Rock.

It’s a very clean, quite campground with an Olympic size pool. The park has lots of shade due to huge oak trees. The staff was very nice and very helpful. Electric, Sewer and Water was not an issue. It’s a nice park for all age groups. All grassy spots have new sod. The store sells needy items besides propane. It’s also close to Cracker Barrel and other restaurants. The campground has two ponds with lots of ducks. The Bingo hall is huge. The kitchen and laundry are well maintained.

Overall, this is a good place for both vacationers and snow-birds. I stayed with my wife and friends for a week in December 2009. I would recommend this camp to all and probably we’ll be going there next holidays in our Motor home.
