Facility Overview
Magnolia RV Park is situated at 791 FM 2665 in Goodrich, Texas, positioned amidst the scenic Piney Woods of Polk County. Configured primarily as a wide-format, open-air surface parking and campsite facility, the grounds provide ample maneuvering space for a broad range of personal and recreational vehicles. Because there are no overhead canopies, parking decks, or overhead height barriers, the park offers unobstructed vertical clearance. This makes it an outstanding choice not only for everyday commuter cars, full-size SUVs, and commercial work trucks, but also for lifted dually pickups, Class A, B, and C motorhomes, fifth wheels, and boat trailers traveling toward the nearby Trinity River and Lake Livingston.

Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity
Ingress and egress are straightforward via Farm to Market Road 2665 (FM 2665), a two-lane paved Texas state roadway built to handle regional freight, farm machinery, and recreational haulers. FM 2665 connects directly with US Highway 59 / Future I-69 just east of the facility, allowing for seamless north-south highway connections between Houston, Cleveland, Livingston, and Lufkin. The facility features wide driveway aprons and unconstrained turnaround radii, ensuring that drivers towing large fifth-wheels, utility trailers, or marine vessels can enter and exit without navigating sharp urban corners or tight access barriers.

Visitor & Driver Tips
When approaching via US Highway 59, slow down ahead of the FM 2665 exit to ensure a smooth transition onto the rural highway. While the entry accommodates large rigs easily, rural Texas FM roads can have active wildlife crossing at dawn and dusk, so extra caution is advised when arriving after dark. If you are arriving with a multi-vehicle setup or a particularly long tow combination, call ahead to verify current pad availability and select a pull-through space tailored to your length.
