Rock'n E RV Park - Coldspring, Texas

 

The Rock'n E RV Park is outside Coldspring, Texas....about an hour northeast of Houston. There are two other horse motels in the area - Hickman Ranch and New Adventure. New Adventure has no trails - water and electric hook-up, Hickman Ranch adjoins the Sam Houston National Park and has access to about 14 miles of trails, water and electric hook-up and an RV dump. We picked the Rock'n E because it was full hook-up and sometimes it is nice to be able to take a long hot shower.

They don't have corrals for horses, but they do have a large field next to the campground where we were allowed to set up the portable corral. They also encouraged to let the horses out to graze and the horses definitely enjoyed that.

The property also is adjacent to the Sam Houston National Forest and they have developed their own trails which are rather nice. They have hidden small garden statues along the trails, so you have a bit of a treasure hunt trying to locate all the different decorations.

There is only about 30 minutes of riding - but you can reverse direction or take different loops to make it a bit longer.

The owners here were really kind. There is a small laundry room, public showers and restrooms as well.

While we stayed here, we got massages over at the nearby town of Livingston and we went into Houston to stock up on goodies from Trader Joe.
