Whistle Stop RV Resort

08/27/2020

If anyone needs a place to "weather the storm", we have sites available if needed.

Our thoughts and prayers are with everyone who are/will be affected by hurricane Laura. Need a place to ride this massive hurricane out? Don't hesitate on calling us if you need a place to stay. We truly care about every guest who stays with us, however it's hard to imagine what everyone in Laura's path is dealing with.

For everyone in Laura's path: We care. We understand. And we will do everything in our power to make things easy on both your and our ends. Stay safe everyone!

08/01/2020

We go above and beyond to make sure our guests know that we will do everything possible to ensure that they are safe and have the smoothest check-in possible!

Since we have no problem helping first time RV-ers, we also understand that our guests may need some direction! Never hesitate in calling our after hours number, or, just using our Ring at the office if you need some help. Push the button and you'll be connected with an employee who is ON SITE! Need a hose or stand? We've got a good portion of what you need in our office/store.

We will do what it takes to make your stay with us the best you've experienced! While limited by COVID-19, we are determined to do all that we can to ensure our guests have the best experiences possible!

There isn't anything that's much more rewarding than a peaceful Friday night here in Abilene, Texas! It may sound crazy to so many, but a good portion of us celebrated being below 100°F at noon today! "Cold" fronts are pretty amazing and hey, 10°F lower is well welcomed!!

This weekend, just like last, we are full! NO vacancy full! To those amazing future guests...I cannot reccomend much more than, making a reservation as soon as you know, you may be in our area! We will always do everything that we can to accommodate every single guest that we can. We appreciate every, single, guest who makes the decision to stay with us! We appreciate it! Seriously! We wouldn't exist without YOU! Thank you!

G'night Whistle Stop! Sleep tight and know that my employees will do everything in their power to make your stay nothing less than absolutely phenomenal. ❤

Whistle Stop is looking for a couple of workampers! What's a workamper? Well, it's an employee who works 24 hours a week and their site, and electric is covered! They also receive $10 each week in quarters for laundry! At this time we are looking for someone to work the office (computer and people skills are a must), and someone for maintenance (weedeating, mowing, watering, ect).

RVs need to be 10 years old or newer, however older units may be allowed if approved. We have a family like atmosphere and as a workamper, you'll be allowed to use the pool and other facilities.

Interested? Send a PM or give the office a call from 9am to 6pm. Thank you!!

07/06/2020

We have some weather rollering through tonight. At this point, it's not severe. We are in for some rainfall which may be heavy at times.

Here in west Texas we find value in every drop of rain! If it appears that things are changing to where they're a threat, I will report it. For now, enjoy the soothing and much needed rainfall!

07/03/2020

Masks/face coverings will become mandatory at 12:01pm today for everyone in public here in Texas. Due to the spike in COVID-19 cases we will remain open, however the office door will remain locked, and we will let one person into the office one at a time to limit exposure. Check in will be no-contact if at all possible, and we will be going back to the laundry room being available in 2 hour reserved blocks so we can disinfect between uses. (If you need to do laundry call the office for a 2 hour time block and today's door code). Bathhouses and the Clubhouse will remain closed.

Governor Abbot has now reinstated the mandates that we were hit with around April. No groups larger than 10 people and social distancing (minimum of six feet) is an absolute must. Our pool will remain open, however only 10 people will be allowed in the pool area at any given time. Masks will still be required within the pool area.

Breakers, hydrant handles, and picnic tables will be disinfected between guests in order negate/lessen exposure between guests. We will do everything we can in order to protect our employees and guests. Please understand that we are doing everything in our power to ensure that our guests remain safe, as well as our employees.

06/30/2020

We are getting some heavy rainfall with small hail. I encourage all of our guests stay inside their RVs until this passes.

We're definitely thankful for the rain, but definitely not any hail! We may get the storm that's building over Buffalo Gap. Keep those local channels on, even if you have to resort to using your antenna if the cable gets knocked out. At this time, we are NOT under a severe thunderstorm warning.

06/23/2020

We are now under a Severe Thunderstorm Warning. The warning states that the threats include heavy rainfall, penny sized hail, and up to 60mph winds. We are working on getting the bathhouses and clubhouse open in case anyone feels the need to take shelter.

06/23/2020

Right now we are experiencing heavy rainfall and some gusty winds. We are under a Severe Thunderstorm Watch. For now it looks like pretty heavy rainfall is this storm's biggest threat, however things can change quickly when it comes to the weather here in Abilene.

06/20/2020

Just to tell you what kind of staff this place has, the pool is OPEN! It took some effort from a bunch of us, but it is clean, clear, and ready for you to cool off in! The humidity is insane from all the rain and a dip in the pool is refreshing!

06/20/2020

Well, last night's storm with 40+mph winds did some damage to the resort last night. The lattice around the pool blew apart and into the pool. Our heavy lounge chairs went into the pool. Large pieces of lattice and the chairs have been pulled from the pool but there are staples, splinters, you name it IN the pool. So the pool is closed and locked until we can be sure we got all of the debris out of the pool and its safe for everyone to swim.

06/20/2020

So far it has rained 1.08"! For now it appears we will catch these smaller storms that are dropping a lot of rain and smaller hail. We have definitely been blessed with this rainfall!

For our guests staying here currently: When you wake and go outside there may be standing water around your site. Thankfully, the resort grounds drain well and quickly so please be patient.

I hope that everyone gets some rest tonight and may tomorrow be a beautiful day!

06/20/2020

I highly advise guests to remain in their RVs until the winds die down and the hail has passed. We are having 40+ mph gusts and we're already over .3" of rainfall.

06/20/2020

A severe thunderstorm warning has been issued. The leading edge winds have passed and the storms are about to hit Abilene. The bathhouses and clubhouse are unlocked in case anyone feels needs to seek shelter. They will be locked back up after the storms pass and I ask that no one use the bathhouses for anything more than shelter (no taking showers, ect). Be careful if you feel the need to seek shelter as there is cloud to ground lightning in this line of storms.

06/20/2020

Here comes some weather. This line of storms has strong winds, smaller hail, and heavy rain. At this time it doesn't appear that they will be severe, however I will be keeping an eye on things. If things get severe, the bathhouses and clubhouse will be opened to seek shelter. I have my fingers crossed with a good rain that we desperately need.

06/19/2020

We are booked solid this weekend! We recommend getting your reservations made ASAP since we are filling up fast! RVers are definitely out and about and we are thankful for everyone who has stayed with us during the COVID-19 Pandemic.

Our bathhouses and clubhouse remain closed due to the fact the pandemic has wiped out the products we use to keep the facilities not only clean, but sanitized as well. We apologize for any inconvenience this causes anyone, we just don't want to possibly spread the caronavirus. As soon as our supplies are readily available, all amenities will return to normal.

And for a little laugh...don't forget about social distancing (thankfully we don't have any bears or buffalo to worry about here 😉)!

06/13/2020

Looking for a place to stay while you explore historic downtown Abilene? How about a place for you and your family to swim in a crystal clear saltwater pool to cool off from the Texas heat? Come check out what makes us great! We are seeing a huge rebound in travel since COVID-19 mandates have relaxed, so please make a reservation to ensure you get a site.

We are here to make your Whistle Stop expirience the best it can possibly be! The staff here is phenomenal and they can help the first time RVer get things set is quickly and correctly.

I hope that everyone has a great weekend and everyone travels safely!

We are filling up fast so we recommend making reservations ASAP. We have just 2 sites available for this weekend! Travel season is back in full force and we are sure enjoying seeing guests from all over the country again!

Our bathhouses and clubhouse remain closed for now, but all outside games, and the laundry facilities are open. We hope to have everything open soon!

05/26/2020

Alright y'all! We have some storms making their way to us. Dangers are high winds, lightning and small hail. This could miss us like a majority of this year's storms have, but everyone should stay weather aware.

05/25/2020

Here comes some pretty heavy rain with small (.5" inch). Some gusty winds are on the leading edge of this storm.

We are under a Severe Thunderstorm Warning, so it's best that everyone stays indoors. At this time the chances of a tornado are low. However, the bathhouses and clubhouse will be unlocked if anyone feels the need to take shelter.

05/25/2020

Hello friends!

I just wanted to let everyone know that a Severe Thunderstorm watch has been issued for Taylor County. It doesn't appear that we will have any significant weather outside of wind and rain which spans until sometime tomorrow morning and possibly afternoon.

I will keep everyone posted, and if the weather looks severe enough, bathhouses and the clubhouse will be open to seek shelter in.

Thank you all for being so understanding!

05/22/2020

We are pretty full for this weekend, so if you'd like to stay with us, call our office and the girls will get you set up with a reservation. There isn't any charge if you have to cancel or move the date(s) needed. All we ask is that you let us know ASAP so someone who is on the waiting list can have it.

Tonight we are under another Severe Thunderstorm watch. Tonight's storms are forecasted to have small hail, heavy rain, cloud to ground lightning, and straight line winds in excess of 50mph. If these storms gain strength/intensity, the club house and bathhouses will be unlocked. For now, all it looks like we will get is some light rain.

Look at another amazing Texas sunset ❤

05/16/2020

The storm line will be hitting within the next 10-15 minutes. The major threat is high winds/straight line winds in excess of 50mph. The hail risk has minimized, however heavy rains as well as lightning will be present with this storm. It's best to stay indoors. The bathrooms and clubhouse will be unlocked if anyone feels the need to take shelter.

05/16/2020

We are under a severe thunderstorm WARNING. So far it looks like this line of storms packs high winds, small hail, cloud to ground lightning, and heavy rains. We urge our guests to watch the local news channels for updates.

05/15/2020

It's been another hot day, but it's still beautiful outside! Our pool is getting some use and it definitely helps beat the heat.

We are at the peak of severe weather season, and I just wanted everyone to be aware that there is a risk of severe storms tonight. We are in the "enhanced" area of the map. There will be the potential for heavy rains, severe thunderstorms containing lightning and large hail, paired with damaging winds. We are currently under a severe thunderstorm WATCH.

I will continue to update this page to keep guests informed of the current weather situation and risks. If warranted, the club house and bathrooms will be UNLOCKED for people to seek shelter in. Stay weather aware and keep an eye on the local channels for constant updates.

Thanks!

05/13/2020

Today we officially opened our pool! The water is 75°F, crystal clear, and the sun is shining! We are thankful to be able to open the pool to our guests, however the COVID-19 mandates state that we have to limit occupancy in the pool area to 15 people at a time.

So if you're ready to get some camping in and to cool off in our pool, or sunbathe in our comfortable lounge chairs, Whistle Stop is the place for you!

05/07/2020

It's official y'all!

Whistle Stop scored a 10/10*/10, another perfect score from Good Sam for the THIRD consecutive year!

I cannot commend the employees enough on the efforts they put forth to make this resort what it is! High standards create a place that is welcoming to every guest, in an atmosphere that's unbeatable. Congrats to everyone who continues to contribute everything it takes to keep this place running smoothly and looking amazing!

05/02/2020

Happy Sataurday y'all! It is going to be a hot one today!

Yes, we are still open but we are running under COVID-19 precautions. The Governor has not released us to open our pool, however we remain hopeful that we will be able to do so soon!

The laundry rooms are still available by appointment. COVID-19 has proven to be a challenge, however the staff here has done a phenomenal job of ensuring things are disinfected for each guest.

If you need a reservation, just call our office at 325-704-5252 between 9am and 6pm, 7 days a week. We have a great selection of wine and beer in our office/store, as well as drinks, snacks, and RV parts. Come see us! We look forward to seeing you!
