1. Laguna Vista RV Park – Marshall
One of my favorite East Texas towns is Marshall. I went on the most wonderful horseback ride I’ve ever been on. I was a little spoiled as I had the owner all to myself – she even let me trot the horse. I’d go back to Karma Farms in a heartbeat.
Okay, on to Laguna Vista RV Park. They offer pull-throughs and backend spots. Enjoy nature, birdwatching, relaxing by the fire, and perhaps a walk to a nearby pond.
