Abilene State Park also offers yurts as alternative accommodations with electricity and small appliances.

Quiet, peaceful, for overnight stay
We stayed in Pecan Grove camping area. It's specifically for smaller travel trailers. The site was peaceful, spacious, and private. However, we faced a bit of a ramp going from the road to the site making unhooking and hooking up a challenge. There is also a drop off from the trailer pad to the picnic bench area, so be careful in the dark. The female bathroom in Pecan Grove was also locked, but I dont believe there were any occupants.

Nice campground, not-so-nice campers
Beautiful park in a neat little historic area outside of Abilene. Affordable tent sites with water, electric, or both. Stayed in Cedar Grove tent loop… if you’re looking for peace and quiet, come during the week. Had the place to ourselves M-F, but weekends were packed with disrespectful and noisy campers who littered, cut through sites, let their children run/scream well past dark. Staff was lovely, locals were not.

Abilene KOA
Single-worst RV Experiene EVER
We booked an extended stay at this KOA while my husband worked in the area. Big mistake. When we arrived, the park was run by a kind, professional couple who soon disappeared— and now we see why. The current manager, Diana Postma, is shockingly rude, unprofessional, and unfit to run a campground. All of the issues started simply because we asked about an unexpected$100 rate increase. Rather than explain, she completely lost control— yelling at my husband and telling us to leave if we didn’t like it. From that moment on, she seemed focused on making our stay miserable. She tried to pile on additional fees, including charging for our kids even though we own our RV, pay site rent, and cover our own utilities. The worst part? She had my husband’s work truck towed out of pure spite. She knew it was ours— she even called our neighbor first, and he told her it belonged to us. But instead of calling us, she had it removed anyway, creating unnecessary stress and expense. The condition of the park was no better:• The pool was“under repair” for our entire 6-week stay.• The laundry facilities were poorly maintained, with broken machines left unfixed.• The grounds were littered with trash, the grass was dangerously overgrown, and mosquitoes made being outside unbearable.• The office was rarely open, and calls for help were met with indifference or more attitude.• A massive tree fell and damaged another guest’s RV— KOA took no responsibility.• The WiFi was useless— barely worked the entire time we were there.• They had to change the bathroom codes because someone who wasn’t even staying there brought a prostitute into the men’s restroom. There were empty sites all around us, and it’s clear why. This park is filthy, unsafe, overpriced, and run by someone who has no business working with the public. If you value your sanity and your property, do yourself a favor and stay anywhere else.

Very quiet and and perfect for an overnight stay
We were passing through on our honeymoon road trip and I was able to book a spot for our teardrop camper on the same day we needed to camp. There were PLENTY of spaces available, and they were very flexible with our arrival time. We arrived 3 hours after their office closed and were able to drive directly to our site. Very quiet little place, the lot had plenty of space to park and put up all our gear. The bathrooms were within walking distance and weren’t spotless, but were clean for a campground bathhouse. We just stayed one night, and checked out the following morning. Highly recommend for anyone looking for somewhere cheap and easy to get to for a night!

wagon wheel reconfigured
Stayed here nine nights this year in the wagon wheel. Reserveamerica.com a.k.a. Texas State Parks Reservations showed on their map sites one through 16. Google maps Street view showed sites one through 32. Rare for Google maps to have Street view pictures of the internals of a State Park. When I got there, I realized they had reconfigured what was 32 separate sites with their own pedestal to 16 sites with a pair of pedestals each, nicely spread out. Beside me there was one or two other campers the whole time I was there weather got real cold, 16°. I camped in sight seven, which was near the entrance to a trail and fishing spot. There was very little traffic even on the weekend in January.

What to do
Swimming and water recreation: The pool at Abilene State Park Campground attracts summer visitors. A camper noted, "In the summer they have a pool which looked like it would be really nice." Lake access is available but requires additional travel, as one reviewer pointed out: "The park has access to a lake that is strangely located outside of the park a few miles down the road."
Nature trails: Many cabin sites connect to hiking paths suitable for wildlife observation. At COE Hords Creek Lake Lakeside Park, trails wind around the water with opportunities for spotting deer. A visitor mentioned, "I love to watch the deer that roam around. My go to spot!" Abilene State Park features a 3.5-mile trail system around its small lake.
Geocaching: Several parks maintain geocaching opportunities for tech-savvy explorers.

Most caches require minimal hiking distance from cabin sites and can be completed in under two hours.
What campers like
Cabin amenities: Rustic to modern options exist within 50 miles of Abilene. Lake Stamford Marina offers waterfront cabins with basic utilities. A reviewer mentioned, "There is store on site however the nearest gas station is a few miles out. There is also mobile home to rent out and they do allow for rent camping."
Screened shelters: Some sites provide enhanced outdoor living spaces. A visitor to COE Hords Creek Lake noted, "A bonus for us that we did not know when we reserved is that several sites have screened-in shelters with electricity and a generous-sized concrete picnic table."
Quiet environment: Less crowded locations offer peaceful stays. At Flatrock Park, a camper observed, "This RV campground is beautiful and away from any road or city sounds and light pollution." Similarly, Hords Creek Lake received praise: "The peace & quiet that we've experienced in this park is beyond words. Relaxation at its best!"
What you should know
Advance reservations: Most cabins book quickly during peak seasons. A visitor to Abilene State Park recommended, "Plan ahead and book early. Wanted to add more days but the weekends book full."
Temperature management: Basic cabins may have limited climate control systems. During summer months, even air-conditioned yurts can remain uncomfortably warm. When temperatures drop, a camper at Abilene KOA suggested: "Bring ear plugs!!!" due to highway noise that may require open windows.
Water access considerations: Lake levels fluctuate seasonally. At Hords Creek Lake, a reviewer observed, "Sites are not on top of each other. There were a few people here when we arrived, but never heard a peep out of them... even though the lake is WAY down."
Supply planning: Cabin visitors should confirm amenity details before arrival. At Lake Stamford Marina, facilities vary: "Electricity on end and water on the other, not together. My hose barley reached." Nearby conveniences can be limited, as another camper noted: "There is a Walmart about a half hour away."
Tips for camping with families
Playground access: Several camping cabins in Abilene offer proximity to children's recreation areas. At Abilene RV Park, basic cabin rentals provide easy access to on-site facilities. Hords Creek Lake received positive feedback: "There are several boat ramps, fishing docks, and swimming areas at different points of the lake. There was a nice, covered playground in the Lakeside Park campground."
Safety considerations: Parents appreciate secure environments for children. One parent mentioned, "Felt very safe, even walking around past dark. We saw feral hogs a few times at dusk. Really loved it."
Bathroom convenience: Facilities with family-friendly restrooms benefit those with small children. A parent at Abilene State Park discovered: "The real hidden gem was in the bathroom by the yurts. They have a disabled shower. So it's within reach and the showerhead is lower. Awesome to use to clean my toddler without getting drenched."
Tips from RVers
