Rich and I arrived at Blue Bonnet on Dec 7, 2017, we were greeted with smiles and friendly atmosphere, We are playing music and Karaoke in the Tiki Hut on Wednesday’s and Friday’s during Social Hour 3pm - 5pm, we have a great time and a great crowd, friendly people, nice clean park, Management has also treated us with great kindness, if we need anything they are right there to help in anyway they can, Thank you Jeff and Kathie and the entire team for making this a pleasant Park, also like to thank Sue the Head of Activities for hiring us for New Years Eve this year. We are having a lot of fun.
This is our first winter here. We love it. Everyone is so nice and friendly. The lots are big, management and staff are great, the limited activities ( because of COVID) have been fantastic. We're single ladies so really like that there are so many other singles here. We'll be back next winter.
Camped in a 35” motorhome. We are self contained so cannot comment on restrooms/shower facilities. Stayed in site #96.
I’ve been visiting my folks in this park for more than 10 years. Now I have an RV and stay each year. The new manager, Steve is a good guy and is trying to turn around the reputation of the park. The previous manager was a horrific force of nature and bully that ran off dozens of good people. It’s a wonderful park, very clean and quiet but during the previous manager’s tenure the amount of tension and stress was palpable. Steve has lots of workers making improvements like the new dog wash and renovated pool hall but more importantly, he’s a nice guy that treats people fairly. I hope Steve can convince people that he’s indeed changed the energy and friendliness level in the park.
Pros –
- Very level and spacious sites
- Quiet campground
- Lots of fruit trees
- Friendly and helpful Manager
- Dog wash on site (free)
- Laundry facilities very nice, clean and reasonably priced
- Lots of nice people call this place home in the winter.
Cons – None
The manager, John, is by far the best manager that has come through Bluebonnet in the past 20 years! He has made so many improvements this season. From the brand new dog park, to the beautiful rock waterfall in the butterfly garden, to all of the beautifully planted trees, bushes and flowers throughout the resort! John is a hard worker too, as he gets out there and plants the trees and helps out however he can!
Not only that, but it seems that the entire staff has been rejuvenated by John's leadership! They all seem to have higher sprits this season and seem to love their jobs.
All around great job by everyone to make the Guest stay at Bluebonnet the BEST!
See you all next season ;-)
I could live here for freaking every! I’ve enjoyed my stay. The staff is outstanding, grounds are well kept, lots of amenities, weather is absolutely gorgeous and produce vendors are inexpensive. Oh and I almost forgot the community is not only friendly but quiet.
