After hearing a ton of reviews raving about the Range, we booked 3 nights over labor day weekend. We were camped in site 8, which is a very short walk to the pool/barn. All of the sites here are great. Our pad was perfectly level and the hookups were very nicely placed in a rock bed to avoid getting muddy or having ant piles, etc. There is a very large patio as well and both the pad and the patio were spotless clean. I actually overheard another camper saying that the owner pressure washes all of the pads between ever visit or two. There are, from what I can tell, 3 types of sites here. There are sites 1 through about 10, that are a little more open. There is foliage around them to make them very private, but not mature tree cover. So, you will get a good look at the sky, but not a lot of shade during the day. Then sites 11 through about 18 are in more mature tree cover with lots of shade and privacy. I would definitely stay in 15 next time. Finally, sites 18 to about 24, are open sites with great views of the barn, ponds, and pool. If you like being out in the mix, these are for you. The dinner was excellent. All family style, so while you can (technically) have a private dinner, you will most likely be visiting with someone. However, the dinner is buffet style and the chef prepares a fantastic wagu beef dinner with salad, veggies, potatoes, etc. While this was labor day weekend, it was a little more kid heavy that normal (according to the owners), but the pool is still large enough to accommodate without feel cramped. And, the pool is extremely nice. Not your typical rv park pool. The water is fed by a pump and waterfall coming off a windmill feature. The circulation keeps the water very cool even in Texas heat. One half of the pool, lengthwise, is only 8" deep with some umbrellas mounted in the pool, so kids can wade, or you can just sit under the umbrellas. The bar area is great. There are some games and furniture for lounging. The bar is amazingly well stocked for being a teeny little trailer. They had a large selection of canned and bottled beer (about 20) and about 6 taps. All Texas. Plus, there is a wide selection of Texas liquors and wines and craft cocktails. Everything is billed to your site and, I hope (assume) a 20% gratuity is added because there were not tip jars and then staff was amazing. Shelly, the bartender/queen, even comes out to the pool to bring you your order and take your order. The area is pretty remote, which is awesome. It is amazing that you can literally see the Dallas skyline as you are driving out of the town of Bristol (1 mile from campsite), but it feels super remote. There is a Wal-mart about 20 minutes away in Ennis. A highlight is the Bristol General Store. This is basically a convenience store, but the owners are an asian couple from Dallas who moved to the area and opened this store/grill. They are somewhat renown for their sushi. We bought some, and a t-shirt, and it was amazing. There is also a winery very close by with live music and a bar. I did not hear any rave reviews of their wine and didn't visit, but I hear it is a fun place. The only drawback for us is internet. Our site was not able to connect to the wifi on site. I do think if you stayed in a site closer to the barn or the wifi tower (site 5-ish), you would be fine. But, we had one bar of cell and no wifi. We have not yet put an external cell/wifi antenna on our camper, so I am sure if you have a wifi booster, you would be fine. They do have rentals that are very cute and well equipped as well, so don't let you lack of Airstream stop you from visiting. This is not just an RV park, it is a full fledged resort.
