Flat Creek Farms RV Resort

This place is pretty nice, the grounds are well taken care of, and it is one of the nicer RV Parks in the area. The creek is beautiful, and in certain areas the sunset it gorgeous. It is centrally located to town, and easy to access Central and Downtown Waco (via LaSalle, as the interstate is under construction for the next 3 years), which offers a feeling of being out in the country, while also being within the city limits and easy to commute. The sunset views are great towards the Greig side of the park. The big field in front has a LOT of flying insects, which is annoying so bring bug spray, BUT it does attract lots of birds, and they are pleasant to watch. I would have left more stars however, specific factors lowered my rating. One is the Internet. While they do offer wi-fi, it is through Nomad and is spotty. I could not connect my printer due to the network setup, and needed to be able to print things for work and school which were very important. Unfortunately, there was not a way to troubleshoot the issue with management. Tonight, the wi-fi is not connecting at all. Thankfully my neighbor let me borrow theirs. Second, there is one poop station for dogs located towards the front, near the bathhouse. The expectation is for you to pick up your dog waste immediately. Bring bags with you because if you don't you may be warned on your way to get a bag, which could be far away from where your dog poops. I also suggest getting a small receptacle to keep outside your camper, so you don't have to walk often to the station. Third, the washer and dryer are $2 each, and the basin is small. This adds up quickly if you have to do multiple loads. You might be better off going to laundry mat in Robinson, however it is very inconvenient, especially if there are multiple people using only one car. Fourth, the shower room is not air conditioned, and ventilation is not that great. I had hoped to use this room to get ready for evening with friends. However, I found myself sweating a lot, and had to go back to my camper quickly. While I love camping, I expect to encounter this more at a state park rather than somewhere that is for temporary housing. At a state park, one of the perks is being able to leave the door open to the shower area, so the humidity doesn't accumulate as fast, without forfeiting your privacy. The way this showers are set up, that is not possible. Fourth, the bridges are closed. On the reviews, others boasted about being able to walk around the creek, and another pond or tank, with pictures! Unfortunately both bridges are closed off. I suspect this is because the sheep that were also noted as being across the creek, are no longer there, or were moved and/or replaced with cattle. Lastly, I grew up around cattle ranching, my family ranched. It is not foreign to me. However, I am not a fan of the cattle industry. Had I known that they were raising cattle across the way, and I would have to listen to the distress calls from cows in the evening, I would not have camped here. The park is cute and it is quaint, and it's obvious the owners care a lot about it, which is great. It is a good place to stay, I just think there is room for improvement!
