Enjoy the Best of Houston at Eric & Jay’s RV Park
The newest RV resort to open in the Houston area is Eric & Jay’s RV Park. Almost like a response to the need for more quality RV options due to the pandemic, Eric & Jay’s RV Park opened in mid-June in the heart of Houston.
The 10-acre resort is located just off State Highway 288. It’s an easy, short drive to the Texas Medical Center, Houston Zoo, and the Museum District. An RV snowbird’s enticement is 10 percent off during the first month’s stay.
Amenities for Houston RV Travelers
Eric & Jay’s RV Park is a bit of a hidden gem, according to Eric Houston, one-half of the team who created the resort. Jay Fields is the other co-owner. He says:
“We have your typical amenities with an outdoor grill, outdoor kitchen, a well-stocked fishing pond, a community garden that’s currently under construction, a nice swimming pool with lots of privacy, a 12-person hot tub, laundry facilities, a fitness workout room, and much more,” says Eric.
Other amenities in this pet-friendly resort include 114 sites ranging from 30-feet to 40-feet long. Each has full hookups including 20/30/50 amp electrical, water, sewer, and a picnic table. The 3,300-square-foot clubhouse is spectacular! It includes a 70-inch HDTV, a coffee bar, and easy chairs for reclining relaxation.

What are names of RV parks that have lakefront views in Texas?
Nice article but I note no mention of prices.
With sites only 30-40 feet long this looks like a tow behind (travel trailer) only park! Most Class A motorhomes will not fit let alone towing. SO, this is not for a lot of us full-time RVers.
30 to 40 foot long sites? Don’t they know that many RV’s today are over 40 feet long? I understand the shorter sites at older campgrounds, but in a brand new one ostensibly built to modern standards? How short-sighted can you be! (Pun intended)
