Loved being there! My family and I lived in our RV for nearly 2 years and never had any issues. The staff is wonderful and always eager to help. The neighbors were all great people and we've stayed friends even after moving. Tony works in the a.m. and is always smiling and ready and willing to help! Such a kind man! Chrissy is the best, too! She helped me with more than just making a reservation and answering all my questions. Ask for either Tony or Chrissy! They're both great and the lake is beautiful and fishing is amazing even off shore! We had such a blast being there and intend to go back AT LEAST once a year!

Stayed in cabin 4 , clean room clean bed . The price for 7 day stay was unbeatable. Bare foot bay far exceeded the expectations I had for a cabin located in a gas station/ marina parking lot in the middle of Texas . My kids loved the swim area , no gators seen praise God ! Something that really made it special was the staffs overall care for my family as guests. They went above and beyond several times to accommodate us all .

Absolutely loved our stay at this resort for New Year’s Eve. Had a sweet little cabin with great view next to a very sweet bar and shop. The band was great. The staff were very nice and accommodating and even the owner makes everyone feel really welcome. I can not wait for my next stay. This will be my go to get away from here on out. If your looking for a reasonable priced cabin with lots of things to do and friendly folks around you and some beautiful scenery, this is the place to be. I HIGHLY recommend you try it out.

Rented a site for the summer weekends. Had a wonderful time. The staff is so nice and accommodating. Just came back for a weekend of camping and again staff is great. The marina, store, and bar is super fun. Very laid back and friendly. Family friendly as well. The bad reputation from years has been debunked. The owner Misty Thornton has made so many improvements and worked hard to change the environment. On Friday nights they would have karaoke. The guys name is Kevin Collins and he was great. Always so kind to everyone . My daughter would always want to sing and he was so nice to her and let her sing. I hope your place is very successful! Will be back!

For starters, I would not call this park a “resort”. It is definitely not resort quality AT ALL. They gave our reserved spots away before we got there & had to reassign us when we arrived (fiasco). We had to weedeat our grass around our area because it was so high & not maintained. The bathrooms/showers were very clean, but not updated to a “resort” standard even in the slightest. The “walking trails” were not mown or maintained. The sand volleyball/bar area was okay, but again, not updated to be as nice as it could be. We made the best of it it, but this is not a site in which we will ever return to. It just had a “sketchy” vibe to it & did not match the niceness of the photos on their website. There are plenty of others nearby that are nicer & much better maintained.

Me and my family have been here going on 5 months now and we haven’t had a problem yet! Barefoot bay is awesome very family friendly and the staff is amazing always going the extra mile to be friendly. Keasha and Dirk are awesome! If you need to just get away and stay some where or want to stay long term I recommend Barefoot bay 110%

Nice family vacations. The cabin is pretty and clean. Pet friendly our babies girls enjoyed the lake and some welcome treats were left at the cabin. We rent a boat and then we went to dance. We enjoy to walk natural trails and some games. We enjoyed our vacation and we are ready for comeback.

The place is certainly NOT a resortThey put us next to the maintenance man’s site, who had a dog that barked continually until approximately midnightOur site had empty propane bottles in the bbq. The fire pit had trash in it and was very overgrownThe place has trash and plastic water bottles littered all over the property.They charged a $100 security deposit to my charge card and did not return the $100, when my wife called to ask about the charge the office person said you did not come to the office to check out!!Wife asked to speak to manager, office person told her “I already explained it to you” and would not allow her to speak to anyone elseWe did no damage, stayed one nightRude, argumentative office person

I went up to spend a couple of nights and tour Lake Bob Sandlin from my boat. My wife and I had a great time. We were met by a very friendly and helpful staff. We stayed in one of the cabins and they were comfortable and clean. If you need a place to stay while your in the area I would highly recommend or just want to get away for a couple of days. Their boat ramp and docks came in handy and are very convenient. They also had some nice RV sites right on the water in one of the coves. I am rating them a 5 star because I enjoyed the staff and they were very accommodating.

We always have a good time when we come here. We rented a cabin a few months ago. It was a very pleasant experience and our dogs got to enjoys it with us. It would be nice if there was a small dog park. In the evening outside the cabin there wasn't really anyplace to walk them. During the day we could take them to the hiking trails. We stayed for a week. The staff is always really nice.

I was so impressed with Barefoot Bay – they made our vacation very special. The view is incredible! The kids had a ball on the nature trails, and we were pleasantly surprised to see so many different varieties of birds. The beach and the pavilions were so nice – it was hard to get the children to leave after playing in the sand and water all day. Special thanks to our camp host who helped us level our home when we first got to Barefoot Bay – we definitely needed help from the expert on that task! We will definitely be returning next year for another vacation. If you haven’t checked this place out, you need to. Well worth the money.

This place is a JOKE!!!! Reserved a cabin for my husbands birthday, and was looking forward to quite time. When we arrived we realized that the cabins are in the parking lot of a gas station, which was super busy and congested!!! I did peek in the cabins and they are cute, but not what was advertised. Unless it’s a weekend getaway with your fishing buddies don’t waste your time!!!

Worse camping experience this summer! Dog owned by employee chained up outside and barked most of the night! No customer service - not given internet password or restroom code! Dirty, trash left in our site! Avoid this place if you want to sleep!

We stayed in the RV park for the weekend. The spaces are very close and prices seemed higher than most similar "resorts". In addition to the high prices they also required a $100.00 deposit for the campsite. I have no idea what this could be for, but again outside the normal. We had an issue with needing to launch our boat at 6am on the morning of a tournament and the gate to the ramp was locked and no one around to let us launch. Tried all the numbers on the door for emergency contacts and no answer. We asked later in the day if it would have been possible to get a code to get in the locked gate to launch and the answer was no... The code is for wet slip users only and not for ramp users. If you're coming to Bob Sandlin to fish a tournament, I would recommend staying elsewhere unless you're planning to launch after 7am!

First time staying at Barefoot Bay. I have to say I’m very impressed. Rented a cabin and an RV site for Labor Day weekend and my fiancés birthday. The cabin was clean, cool and cozy when we got here. The RV site has clean and ready as well. Check in was easy and we are having a great time. What stands out to me the most however is the service the staff provides. I met one of the owners. I didn’t know it at the time, but he came by our RV site personally and asked if everything was working and if we needed anything. Ran into him again later on and found out he was the owner. Pet friendly and all the amenities for a fun packed weekend. I’ll definitely be coming back and I recommend this place highly.

We liked being there on lake. We had reservations for next year for 3 months. We checked out from our 1st 3 months spent there only to be told they didn't have our reservations for next year. I even asked them a couple of times checking on the reservations for next year. They don't seem to actually care about repeat costumers. A spot we tried to get we were told was unavailable they then gave to someone else for long term that came after us.

This place is absolutely horrible. Owner and manager only care about to bottom line and do not care about employees or customers period. The new management is horrible and flat out rude. I've heard around town for quite some time now about how bad this place has gotten over the last year and I can now confirm it for myself. The local reputation of this buisness and this owner is not good at all to say the least. Which they would sell this place to someone who actually cared. Really sad to see how trashy this place has gotten STAY AWAY is my recommendation.The only saving grace this place has (if you can call it that) is Tony. He is great and the only person that seems to care.Other then that there is nothing to write home about.

My husband and I stayed in a cabin celebrating our 28th wedding anniversary...I believe this place to be a slice of paradise! It was so peaceful and relaxing..I would recommend to ANYONE wanting a peaceful,relaxing experience to get a cabin..you have all the amenities of home to me..I will return to Barefoot Bay every time I can!! Which will be often.. Thank you to everyone who makes this possible...Thank you Robin for making it easy for us to do!

We reserved our RV spot a month in advance and when we arrived it was taken and it looked like people had been living there for years, junk piled everywhere. They offered us a discount if we would change spots so we did. We asked instead of a discount could we use a pavilion for the following day, they said no. They offered to move one of the RVs that was near the original spot, this wasn’t until after they offered the discount and we had already set up in the other spot. Then the next day they said they aren’t discounting anything but now we can use the pavilion. After we had already set up our stuff to swim elsewhere. We had also rented a cabin. We called in advance to check what all we need to bring, sheets, towels, pillows, soap, they stated that it was all included with the cabin. When we arrived that was not the case. There were no sheets for the pull out couch, no extra pillows, no soap, shampoo, or anything we had previously asked about. We weren’t expecting HolidayInn but a little effort would have been nice. The new owners are extremely rude and the customer service was lacking to say the least. 10/10 would not recommend.

Wife and I just returned from staying a few days here with some friends we invited. Overall, enjoyed our stay. The place is under new mgt so we'll be interested in seeing if the place improves or not. We loved the location on the lake and it was peaceful and mostly quiet. The rv spots are good but yeah, the road within the park could use some maintenance. Bathrooms and facilities relatively clean. A little disappointed that the restaurant or bar wasnt open (am told for over two years now). Is a great place for hanging out with family, boating and fishing. There are what looks like quite a few permanent rv'ers there. One resident apparently loves to crank his music fairly loud but it didnt last long. There are alligators and snakes here so be careful swimming late at night. Was my first time seeing one, so was a memorable trip for us lol. We'll come back and try it again someday.

The camp ground is fairly nice.They no longer have the bar and grill, or live music, like they advertise.We rented the paddle boat for two days, had to carry it out of the store ourselves, and down to the water, to find out it don't work so good. We actually used our kayak orrs to row the thing.Addvise: stay on campground side, it's nice and peaceful, a lot of long term campers who are very nice and helpful.

You feel like your in an RV park, not at the lake. The RV park is on the swampy side of the lake and you would not want to swim in It! So we went across the highway to the Lake side. Even as a camper you still have to pay to get an armband to swim or dock your boat. We paid $20 for a pavilion for our group. We pulled our boat over to the side of the pavilion (literally no where else to put it) and the lady came out yelling at us to move our boat because it was in the swim area?? There were no signs telling us not to park boats or designated swim area signs or roped areas? Plus no bar or food. It's all closed now. It does earn 1 Star for good bathrooms and clean RV park. Neesless to say, We will not be back.

The good: nice sized spaces, full hook-ups and great views. Clean laundry, great hiking and very quiet. The bad: sites and roads need to be improved. Speed bumps are unnecessary and too big. WiFi is basically non-existent and cell service is spotty. You can bring a big rig or TT, but careful of the speed bumps and bad roads within the campground. Lastly, lots of ants!! Overall it's a nice campground. 👍

My family had a great time at Barefoot Bay Marina. One of the new owners was there and showed us around the property, it is a beautiful area. We have even thought about buying a RV spot for the entire year because it is so reasonably priced. The wifi worked just fine for us!

Barefoot Bay has quickly become our favorite place to stay since purchasing our camper last year. Very clean RV Park, Great Views, Good Fishing, and Excellent Entertainment on Friday & Saturday Nights! And most important, the people are very friendly!

Barefoot Bay is certainly being revitalized by the new owners. There are activities planned for every night of the week, fun for everyone. Saturday is definitely becoming a crowd pleaser with the wide variety of music being played starting at 8PM. So simply put if you missed last Saturday the 8th show starring Twisted Whisky you really missed a great time, so do yourself a favor and check out Barefoot Bay Marina.Also check out the cabins and RV availability. There are many beautiful lakeshore views, great fishing.Come check out Barefoot Bay Marina & RV Resort and form your own opinion, I think you’ll enjoy all they have to offer.

This rv park isn't accurately depicted on its website or other advertisements. The park is full of "full timers" who have built porches and even have freezers sitting outside their campers. The "bar and grill" is closed down and no longer exist (yet website hasn't been updated). The boat launch doesn't have a decent place to tie your boat off or dock. The "beach" is a giant sand box. The swimming area is all of a few feet long and not designated with signs or floating ropes. The grounds were not maintained (grass growing up around campers that have been there for a while). I can believe at one time this was probably a very nice place but age and neglect has not been good to this property. I hope the owners can course correct and revitalize this property.

My husband and I stayed at Barefoot Bay marina for 2 months while he worked in the area. Had no real problems. I did think that they should put sewage on the side of the lake. Would of rather been looking at the lake instead of the back end of someone else's RV. The owners said it had free Wifi... Not, it never worked. And the free laundry was one washer and one dryer. I took my stuff in town to do them. But I guess it works for the weekenders that go up there from time to time just to play on the lake. Oh and didn't caught anything other then turtles. All in all, I'd go back there if he was to work in that area again. Hopefully they'll have all the bugs fixed with the Wifi....

Would not recommend, certainly DO NOT make a reservation. Had to cancel my stay because of work, lady on the phone informed me refund’s are not given and you have a year to fulfill your stay... wen i tried to inform her that my confirmation email Specifically said “Credit will be issued for cancellation” she told me i was wrong and would hear nothing else. I asked her to speak to the owner and she rudely told me “they ain’t here and i’m busy” she would have them call me, 1 week later and no call.
