The park is primarily long term: there are three noticable overnight sites located in the front section of the park. They are located directly across from I-20 which of course gets road noise. We discovered running the fans inside help reduce the noise. Manager was very nice and the overnight area was clean and manicured. We began to go for a walk towards the back section and discovered a few guests beginning a bbq. They were starting to feel pretty good so we decided to re-think our plans. Later that evening we could still hear them enjoying themselves. However, they did quiet down around 10:00 pm. I am surprized that this is a Good Sam Park. I know one of the requirements is that the park has a specific amount of Overnight traveler sites vs. Long-term sites. I feel what I have rated this park is appropriate. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Maybe some of the other reviewers were put off by the long term tenants in this park, but Miss Ellies answers the phone after normal business hours. They came to our rescue after a long drive to a park that was obviously overbooked. I gave this park a 10 because it is clean and all of the advertised amenities worked! It isn't a resort, nor does it advertise to be. The manager is friendly and helpful and she had a place for me to park my trailer at 11 PM on a Friday night. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Wife and I were worked in the Waskom area for about six months and find Miss Ellie's RV park a great place. The park is quiet and everyone is friendly. Most of the lots are covered with trees to help keeping the noise down. The laundry facilities work great and are always clean. Having propane available is a plus. All we can say is if your in the Waskom, Texas area with your RV make it a point to stay at Miss Ellie's, you'll love it! We camped here in a Motorhome.
We parked here for 3 nights. Pros: Management very nice and helpful. We needed maps of the areas we were going to in Shreveport and the manager printed them out on her computer for us. Bath/Shower areas were excellent, with private facilities (rooms) for one person at a time, with locks on the doors. They were exceedingly clean. Very attractive area with lots of tall trees. Cons: Very close to Interstate 20, but our RV is quite soundproof and we were not bothered by the highway noise, even though we were parked close to the access road. Pull through parking for large rigs is limited to the area right next to the Interstate. We would like to have parked further back in the beautiful trees. Pretty far from Shreveport (20 miles) where our activities were. There is a train, however, we only heard it once a day in the daytime. We would stay at Miss Ellies RV Park again, if we were in the area. We camped here in a Motorhome.

The only reason we stayed here was Tall Pines was full. This is more of a long term workers place. They had three over night spaces right next to the interstate. There is a trucking company right next tot the park so when they start the trucks and let them warm up, park then fills up with black diesel smoke. We attempted to go for a walk but there are dogs that are not leashed roaming around. Not sure what Good Sam was thinking when they took this park on. We camped here in a Motorhome.
The campground is mostly for permanent workers. The few sites available are right on I-20. I mean only 20 feet from the Interstate. If that isn't bad enough, the train comes by at least 5 times at night. A truck stop would have had less noise. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We were met by the friendly staff and check in was easy. Gravel roads led us to a long level gravel pull through. The site was close to the interstate so there was some noise through the night. The park appeared to be very clean. We stayed here one night in our fifth wheel. We would return here if in the area. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Mostly permanent sites. Owner said they are transients that work in the oil fields. You are placed out front were you are separated from the perms. You are right on the highway so there is traffic noise. There is a great weight room and the sites are level. We only stayed there for a night for a stop along the way. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We called from the road...200 miles out...a site was reserved...when we got there...at 10PM...we had no site...nothing but excuses...no apologies...the manager claimed a double booking...and we were made to suffer...this woman has no business being in the RV park business...we drove on to Carthage Texas and found a wonderful place with very friendly people...in addition to the verbal misbehavior...the place is muddy, crowded and right next to the interstate... We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This is a nice clean campground on the border of Texas and Louisiana. It is right on the interstate but noise doesn't appear to be a factor. Sites are wide and hookups are all together making it very accessible. There is a laundry and movie rental available. Lots of pine trees and places to walk pets. Very convenient to LA casinos, reasonable and managers/owners are very congenial. No red clay to content with as in other areas of East Texas. We stayed here on a monthly basis and it was very reasonable. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
