If I could give 0 stars, I would. We booked over the phone w onsite management , about a week before we headed back to Texas from arizona. I had asked my mother to call around for us, she called me and told me she found a place that’s all bills included in the monthly rent. I looked them up online and the website portrayed a clean well kept rv park.

I called and spoke to on-site management , told him we were interested in a monthly spot. He went over cost with us, and we double checked that it was indeed all bills paid w the price we were quoted, he said yes the rent reflects cost for electricity too. We said great we’d take it. We paid for a full months rent around September 28th 2023 (give it take a day), we arrived around the 5th of October. We set up our camper and left the next morning for about 3 days to go see family. So we weren’t really aware of the parks appearance til the morning we headed out to family. We both just kinda looked at each other and said well it is what it is - last min but the price is great since it’s “all bills paid”.

We finally arrived back from visiting family and the first night, there was so much noise. The train ( which was fine but it’s definitely there), neighbors blasting music, or their dogs barking going crazy while they were away. The lots/pads are not kept up, over grown w grass and not level at all. So we parked in the grass figured out how to level out the best we could but our levelers and jacks and blocks just sank into the mud/dirt so it made leveling the camper impossible, also, the pot holes are horrible in the drive.

About a week of being there, they put a note on our camper saying that starting Nov 1 2023 they were going to start charging tenants for electric. This upset us because it was what sold us when we talked to management, was the all bills included in the price of rent. We started looking for another rv park - we found one and got it squared away.

Rockdale rv does have laundry and bathroom on-site. 3 washers 3 dryers, but the laundry room was dirty, like they never cleaned it. The manager and his family live on-site but their spot is messy to put it nicely and most of the spots resemble theirs. And one day after doing laundry I had been playing a game on my phone walking back to my camper ( Geocaching ) and the manager came out of his rv and said and I quote “are you taking pictures?” And I said no and stated what I was doing, but before we left I sure did take pictures.

A couple nights before we left for the new rv park, our neighbors got into a knot down, flat out screaming match, they argued and fought and at some point - he locked her out so she was banging on their camper and yelling outside, till about 230am….. we just said “it’s whatever we are leaving soon” but we did go outside a couple times to make sure he wasn’t hurting her, physically.

We were only at their park for 3 weeks, maybe 3.5 weeks. we don’t plan on ever using them again. Good for over night stops but I wouldn’t recommend staying any longer than that….

I also took the pictures because I noticed that when people leave poor reviews the owner or management is quick to say “you must not have stayed at our park because we can’t find you in our system” or “you must have us confused w the rv park up the street”…. You’ll recognize your park w pictures posted. No you won’t find my name in the system, it was book under another name. I’m not posting this to be mean. I’m posting so other will know what they are signing up for.
