    Rood Creek Park Camping

    Perfect Spot

    Perfect camp spot. Drove a dirt road through farmland about a mile or so and took a left at the end towards the campground. Only one other campsite taken. Each site has a trash can and a picnic table. It was awesome. Had my own bathroom setup, so didn’t check theirs out, but they have a small facility. We did see a small gator in the creek. Woke up to fog on the water. It was beautiful!

    Also had 1-2 bars of service with T Mobile.

    Gunter Hill

    Overnight at Gunter Hill Cmpgrd

    We stayed overnight on site 35. It has full hookups , however the sewer was a bit far from the paring pad. If you have a single black tank hose this may be N issue. However, seeing as we only stayed 1 night I did not plan on hooking up anyway. The site is right across from the bathroom/showers which are individual rather than community type layout , and they were clean and well maintained. For the kiddies there is also a sizable modern playground right next to the bathhouse. The park attendant at the entrance was very pleasant and my pass was ready and available in the rack outside the check-in station which made it extremely easy. It was a Thursday night following 4th of July and there were several others there but only a small number of other campers. Reservations can be made online at recreation.gov

    The Backyard RV Resort

    Great Campground

    Reservations made yhe night before online. The campground has not changed nanes yet but will be known as Unhitched Montgomery. Some short time stays and a bunch of long term stays. Clean bathhouse and great outdoor gathering areas, really like "the hangout" area. Pet friendly. Laundry available. It seems secluded but there are a lot of conveniences nearby. People at front desk were very friendly. Easy pull through sites. Highly recommend.

    Chewacla State Park Campground

    Close to Buc-ees and I-85!

    I called on Sunday afternoon and immediately connected to a young lady who assured me that a site was available. The loop is nicely designed, full hookups, passing your target on the left (better visibility). There are glamping tents for rent. Several hiking trails, including a waterfall trail are inside the gate checkpoint. The park is close to town, meaning abundance of food options and cheap gas (2.499) on June 6, 2025.

    R. Shaefer Heard Campground

    Beautiful Privacy, Brutal Bathrooms, and Locked Gates at Night

    We stayed here in June, Thursday through Monday, two people with a tent. The experience was... memorable, though not always for the right reasons. 

    The bathhouses are something out of a post-apocalyptic travel journal— rusted fixtures, broken tiles, and enough cockroaches and spiders to start a nature documentary. Yes, they are“cleaned” occasionally, but whatever’s happening isn’t winning the war. They’re not just in the mist of past centuries— they’re lost in a heavy, choking fog. 

    Facilities are very limited, and it’s clear this campground wasn’t designed with tent campers in mind. You’ll wait in line for restrooms, and you won’t enjoy it. 

    The sites themselves? Old, worn, and could desperately use even a single coat of fresh paint— but the lawns are mowed, and the forest is real. If you value privacy, you’ll love the layout: each site is tucked deep into the woods, with excellent space and seclusion.

     But beware: the gate is locked shut from 10 PM to 8 AM, no exceptions unless the elderly host personally deems your emergency worthy. Installing a simple keypad would save everyone time and dignity. 

    Starlink users: take note— if the lake is high, the shoreline disappears, and with it, any chance of a clear shot to the sky. Reception through the trees was very poor. 

    Wildlife is busy here— armadillos, raccoons, and rabbits all feel quite at home on your tent pad. It’s charming, if you’re into that kind of thing. 

    The lake sees constant activity: motorboats, water skiing, even boats creeping along at night. It’s not peaceful water. If you came to paddle in silence or sleep early, this might not be your dream spot— unless the noisy party crowd is your own.

    Kick Back Ranch & Event Center, LLC

    Best. Christmas. Ever

    We stayed at Kickback Ranch over the Christmas holiday, and it was the perfect setup for our family. I reserved an RV site for my teardrop camper—it was peaceful, quiet, and had everything I needed to unwind. I also booked a few cabins for the rest of the family so everyone could have their own space. The Wagon Wheel cabin ended up being our gathering spot—it was spacious, well-stocked, and made meals and family time easy and comfortable. We were able to hop on the Wi-Fi when needed, and the outdoor grills came in handy for cooking a few good meals together. The staff were kind and helpful anytime we had questions, but otherwise let us enjoy our stay without interruption. It was a great winter getaway, and having everyone close but with their own privacy made it even better. Would absolutely come back.

    Lakepoint Resort State Park Campground

    Memorial Day weekend

    Lakepoint Campground is an absolute treasure! From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by how clean, well-maintained, and peaceful everything was. The campsites are spacious and thoughtfully laid out, providing just the right amount of privacy while still feeling connected to the natural surroundings.

    The lake views are breathtaking—perfect for early morning coffee or a sunset stroll. We enjoyed fishing, biking, and just soaking in the beauty of the area. The trails are well-marked and offer a great variety for all skill levels. Plus, the wildlife sightings were a real treat—deer, birds, and even a curious raccoon or two!

    Restrooms and showers were clean and well-stocked, which is always a huge plus.

    Highly recommend to anyone who loves the outdoors!
