Lake Conroe RV Park, Thousand Trails
Lake Willis, Tx
**** Nice large park, located on beautiful Lake Conroe.  Close to good food stores, shopping etc.  Stayed in the new section with large concrete pads and paved roads.  Layout of this section is not RV friendly.  It is a challenge to get into your spot without running over the grass.  Older section of the park has gravel sites and and poor gravel roads.  Amenities are great,  by the pool there are cabana's with TV and fridge.  AT&T phone and satellite service are great.  Bathrooms are nice and updated,  but not cleaned daily.  Would recommend park.
