Lake Conroe RV & Camping Resort

      On our way to Lake Conroe, we stopped at Camping World in Katy, Texas to have some work done on our hydraulic jacks.  Thinking it wasn't going to take too long we waited.  At 1:30 they were still troubleshooting but were breaking for lunch.  So we decided to drive up to the campground and see about securing a site, because it may be after dark when we finally pulled in with the coach.  Well, it was a good idea, however with Houston traffic, it took a very long time to make the 70-mile drive and as it turned out, we couldn't hold a site without our RV.  We fought traffic to get back to Camping World and it was after closing when we arrived.  The issue was fixed and for a lot less than I had expected.  So we headed back up to Lake Conroe and arrived just after dark.  Fortunately, they had just recently added 67 new paved sites at the front of the campground and finding a site was not an issue.

      The new paved sites were very nice with full hook-ups.  The rest of the campground was gravel.  There are sections for full time manufactured homes, park models, RV annuals, and regular camping.  The campground requires you to take a 50 amp site if you have a 50 amp RV and charges an extra $3/night.  I'm not sure why, but the gravel sites were almost filled, while the new paved sites were pretty much empty.   It's good to see a lot of work going into improvements on campgrounds.  Besides the new sites, they were also in the process of building a new sales office.  The amenities were pretty nice.  There is a large pool and hot tub.  There are tennis, pickleball, and basketball courts.  Also, horseshoes, shuffleboard, miniature golf, and a softball field are available.  We found the laundry to be disappointing and opted for one in town which worked out great.  Overall, the campground had everything that you'd expect in a Thousand Trails Resort.  It was well maintained and very green and welcoming.  I would enjoy returning here in the future.  We were told that the campground is very popular in the summer with lots of kids and the pool was always crowded.  We visited in April and there was a duck in the pool, but that's about it.

      While we were there we took a drive down to the south side of Houston to visit the Houston Space center.  The museum part of the Space Center was well done and very informative.  We took the 90 minute "Tram Tour" so that we could see more of the complex, like Mission Control.  Unfortunately, that was disappointing.  The young lady giving the tour was very well informed and really knew her script, but she spoke very fast in a high voice, which was impossible to understand over a speaker.  I don't think that English is the first language for a lot of the visitors, so once they realized that they couldn't understand her, they conversed among themselves drowning out any possibility for me to hear the speaker.  I believe that most of the staff were high school students and did a very good job, except for this one exception.  There's a lot of history to take in and news about future Mars missions.  Overall, it was pretty cool.  It cost $30 per person.
