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.

They have new asphalt at the entrance, a new clubhouse, a workout gym that is fully loaded and more. The staff is great, they escorted us to your site, offered to hook us up and let us know what is going on in the area.

Everyone waves and says hello, people stop and take the time to welcome you to the area. They are making improvements every day, from landscaping, remodeling buildings and expanding their services. Looks like they are going into the mail forwarding business and pack and ship. They even have a notary on staff, she was teasing us about renewing our vows at the park (maybe if I can talk my husband into it we will the next time there)!

If you are ever in the area make sure you stop and see the park and meet the staff!

The folks hosting the campground are pleasant and fun to chat with. Now you don`t have to feed quarters into the shower for hot water!  They are free. They have a dog friendly beach so please remember to clean up after your pooch.

I highly recommend this campground for it`s beauty, convenience and excellent customer service. I camped here in a 22 ft. RV.

They have a large log cabin available to rent for events and receptions of any kind. The property also has a very nice creek running thru it. Rates are very reasonable too.

It was a fantastic place to “just hang out”, let the kids run around & do all of the activities available to them while the wife & I did our thing. Well, the past 2 summers we’ve experienced a steady decline in cleanliness… keeping the sites clean, lack of cutting the grass when needed, a mini-golf with stones & clutter throughout, boats (2) that broke down while out in the bay and a NEW lazy river that was non-functional in the summer 2009.

The kicker of it all was this wonan at a “SEASONAL” campsite who went around yelling at people for walking OR riding too close to her campsite. We had to request another (distant) site because of her. This has been witnessed 2 years in a row.

All in all, we will still return because of the location of this campground…but NOT as often & NOT near that seasonal site.

The campground has all pull thru sites which was very nice after a long day on the road. The campground was pretty quiet, although they do have railroad tracks within a 1/2 mile of the campground they did not blow their whistles so not really a bother. The free wifi was pretty fast and a strong signal. The pool was lovely with a new deck and nice pool furniture.

The only other thing is the people working there were very nice and helped me with a problem I had with my fiver. Even letting me use personal tools.
