Stillwater RV Resort

149 RV Sites, 1 House

Stillwater RV Resort in Winona, Texas, offers 149 RV sites and a house rental across 92 acres of East Texas Piney Woods, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 50 feet on a big-rig-friendly layout. Waterfront premium back-in sites join premium, standard, and water-and-electric categories, alongside a saltwater lazy river, water park, and beach. One hundred forty-nine sites span back-in, back-in water-and-electric, premium back-in, premium pull-thru, pull-thru, and waterfront premium back-in categories, carrying water, sewer, and electric where noted with site WiFi, sized to 50 feet, with picnic tables. Confirm your tier, as the water-and-electric category does not carry sewer at the site. The waterfront premium sites are the ones to request. A house rental rounds out the lodging. A general store, laundry, propane fills and exchange, dump station, restrooms, and a pet washing station handle the practical side. The saltwater aquatic complex is the signature — a lazy river, multiple pools, and a swim-up bar that function as a resort water park rather than a campground amenity. A fitness center, clubhouse, game room, pickleball, volleyball, horseshoes, golf cart rentals, biking, a lake, creek, beach, playground, and dog park fill the rest. Ninety-two acres just off I-20 between Tyler and Longview puts the resort at a scale most campgrounds in the region do not attempt. Summer drives the heaviest demand for a water resort, with spring and fall most comfortable in East Texas. Reserve well ahead for warm-weather weekends.

The Retreat RV Resort & Camping

The Retreat RV Resort and Camping in Huffman, Texas, is a comprehensive camping destination in northeast Harris County offering extended-stay RV sites, glamping wagons, and the full range of outdoor accommodation in the Lake Houston corridor — a resort property in the Huffman community that gives guests the natural setting of the Big Thicket transition forest and the Lake Houston shoreline access within the Greater Houston metropolitan area, where the proximity to Houston's urban services and the forested, lakeside campground environment give The Retreat the specific character of a nature-immersed resort within practical reach of the metropolitan Houston area's employment, entertainment, and transportation infrastructure. Huffman's northeast Harris County position on FM-2100, 30 miles northeast of downtown Houston, gives the resort the specific suburban-to-rural transition zone that the Lake Houston watershed and the San Jacinto River's bottomland sustain at the edge of the Greater Houston suburban growth corridor. Extended-stay RV sites, glamping wagon accommodations, and the complete camping resort amenities give The Retreat the full-spectrum accommodation range that serves both the long-term resident who values the natural setting and the short-term adventure traveler who wants the glamping wagon's curated outdoor experience in the Lake Houston area — the glamping wagon format specifically gives couples and families the elevated accommodation format that the northeast Harris County forest setting sustains as an authentic outdoor escape within the Houston metropolitan area's suburban reach. Pets are welcome. Lake Houston, three miles west of The Retreat in Harris County on the West Fork of the San Jacinto River, is the primary municipal water reservoir for the City of Houston — a 12,000-acre lake with boat ramps, fishing, and the Lake Houston Wilderness Park's 4,900 acres of bottomland hardwood and riparian forest that give the Harris County park the most significant municipal wilderness area in the Houston metropolitan region. The San Jacinto River's bottomland forest corridor from Lake Houston north into Liberty County sustains the freshwater bass, catfish, and crappie fishery that the northeast Houston angling community specifically targets in the San Jacinto River and its tributaries. Sheldon Lake State Park and Environmental Learning Center, 20 miles southwest of Huffman on Garrett Road in east Harris County, manages the 1,200-acre Sheldon Reservoir's freshwater marsh, bottomland hardwood forest, and the native prairie restoration in the most complete wetland ecology state park in the Houston metropolitan region. The park's neo-tropical migrant bird diversity during the spring migration from late March through May and the wintering waterfowl from November through February give the urban-edge park its specific birding significance in the Houston Audubon Society's Important Bird Area network for the Harris County marsh and bottomland bird community. The Retreat RV Resort and Camping serves guests year-round in Harris County's subtropical Gulf Coast climate, where the mild winters sustain the extended-stay resident market and the spring and fall seasons provide the most comfortable conditions for the Lake Houston recreation, the Big Thicket National Preserve day trips, and the Houston metropolitan area activities that the Huffman location's northeast Harris County highway access enables. The Big Thicket National Preserve, 40 miles northeast of Huffman in Hardin and Liberty Counties, protects the unique biological crossroads where the eastern deciduous forest, the Gulf coastal prairie, and the Pineywoods overlap in one of the most botanically diverse forest ecosystems in North America. Reserve sites and glamping accommodations well ahead for the spring and fall outdoor recreation seasons.
