El Campo Lost Lagoon RV Resort in Texas Wins Recognition – RVBusiness – Breaking RV Industry News
El Campo Lost Lagoon RV Resort in El Campo, Texas has won the Park of the Year Award from the Texas Association of Campground Owners (TACO) in the large park category.
The five-year-old 255-site RV resort has one of the largest, if not the largest, swimming pools in the country. The resort also has a separate sports park with a floating climbing structure, called a Wibit, which is popular with children.
“We are thrilled to receive this recognition,” park owners Kenna and Stephen Lucas said of their park, which is located in the tiny rural community of El Campo, about 70 miles southwest of Houston.
The annual award, presented to a campground with more than 125 sites, is based on consumer reviews, levels of employee training, accreditations and certifications, as well as involvement in the community and with TACO.
The Lucases acquired the two-acre, 650,000-gallon, beach entry swimming pool in 2017 and built a 255-site RV resort around it, which they opened in 2019.
While the main pool area has many amenities, including a rope swing, rock slides and a 500-foot lazy river, the Lucases have continued to make improvements over the years, adding extra decking and palapa-style cabanas as well as a kiddie lagoon, a multilevel water play structure, and a large serene swimming pool, which they call the Oasis Cove Pool. Which houses the world’s 1st ever Flow Rider Island, that just opened last weekend, and 2 large water slides.
El Campo Lost Lagoon has a loyal following of adults in addition to being a favorite destination for families with children. Onsite amenities include a catch-and-release fishing pond with 30-inch catfish, a remote control car track, a mining sluice, a gaga ball pit, an arcade, an exercise room, a playground and volleyball and basketball courts as well as a restaurant and rental accommodations for guests who do not have an RV.
The park also offers live entertainment most weekends as well as periodic fishing competitions and barbecue cookoffs. More information is available at https://eclostlagoon.com/.
