Earl Williamson Park

We stayed late fall of '23 for about a week. This place was wonderful. Our site had water and 50 amp service. There was a dump station that was easy to get to and maintained. The bath house was very clean but dated. The showers were clean. There was a nice playground, public boat launch and I think there was an old unmaintained beach. Plenty of access to the lake that had amazing sunsets. The lake is large and dotted with oil derricks. 

We got to play disc golf at their very nice public (free) 18 hole course. I've been carrying around the discs for years and never got to play. Now I'm hooked!

At double the price it was a bargain. We'll definitely stop again if we get through the area.

Overnight stay at this park on our way home from Galveston. $12 for full hookups. $6 for primitive. We paid for full hookups since the primitive area was overgrown and VERY primitive. We were able to just pull in and find a lovely, level, shady spot. We had electricity and a covered pavilion, but no water spigot at our site. Other sites had water but some were set up for RV connections not for filling up jugs. We simply used a spigot that happened to be at an empty site nearby. The camp host chatted up my husband while he was getting water and didn’t seem to mind. This park has a day use area that includes playgrounds, disc golf, fishing piers, and a swim beach (that we made good use of). We were disappointed because the shower in the bathhouse didn’t seem to work. It wasn’t until the next morning that another camper clued us in about the “private” shower for campers (get the code from the host). That made a world of difference! We found the park to be quiet (mostly retirees there), clean, and quaint. The local sheriff’s office sits at the entrance so we felt very safe there too. Also don’t miss the little Mexican restaurant down the road!

Stayed 1 night for rooftop camping on car. Chose to set up in the primitive camping area on the grass near the boat docking area. Quiet and peaceful with beautiful sounds off the lake at night. Bathrooms are not the best.
