Guide
Their website says $35 a night, but it was actually $70 per night, plus $20 to use "dump station".
Site is just a picnic table you park next to. Electricity on end and water on the other, not together. My hose barley reached. The electric box was super janky, no breaker, and had exposed wires. I was nervous about plugging in my trailer. The water faucet had no handle. I had to use a pair of plyers to turn the valve to get water on.
The "dump station" is not your normal PVC pipe sticking up from the ground. Its a large cement dome, with a cut out door on top. The sewage was about 3 inches from the top, and when I opened the door, I immediately shut it, it was so degusting.
The only good thing about this site was it was near the water. No where near worth the $90 I spent.
There is a much, nice and cheaper campsite on the other side of the lake. Dont waste your money here.
Guide
Perfect site right on the water. Nice shade. Nice swimming area.
Traveler
The park has loads of available camping areas and gazebos with tables, trash cans, grills, and a set of restrooms that are kept relatively clean. Couldn’t ask for a better spot honestly
Traveler
There are a limited number of sites, about three. When I arrived, there were none available, but someone cruised through and wanted to chat with me, by the time he finished a site opened up. This was actually my first municipal park stay, so I was a bit nervous and eventually decided to move on. But the park is as described and it is on an attractive lake. In the end, it's just a place to park for a night unless your have something to do. Main downside is that you may or may not get a place to park.
TravelerBathrooms available and plenty of space. There were some bugs though
Traveler
Nice wooded area, sites are spaced well, clean bathrooms, very family friendly, full of wildlife, gorgeous sunsets and starry night
Traveler
Arrived around 1am and camped in my tent in a nice grassy area there seems to be plenty of room to set up tents and a couple of trees for shade, it is right next to the main road so it does get a bit noisy in the morning but I would stay again
GuideDue to our travels, only stayed here for one night to break up our drive. Now wish we had stayed longer. Nice large wooded sites. Drove down to lake Abilene but wasn't much of a lake as they hadn't had rain in a while. Said one good rain would fill her up. Look forward to staying here again for an extended amount of time.
Guide
Tent camping areas in all 5 with shelters, grill, and picnic tables, many waterside. Public Area 4 and 6 have RV pads (which they do charge $10 to use in the Summer) with shelters, grill, and picnic tables, and many are waterside. Public Area 5 has grass pull thru RV parking. All 5 have bathroom facilities with running water and flush toilets. We parked at #5, also known as Bug Beach and we had the place to ourselves, with the exception of a herd of deer late afternoon. Beautiful scenery and exceptionally clean campground facilities.

Stayed her for three weeks. It really is a nice spot for being free, but because the locals don't pick up their trash, it may not be available because of it. There is new manager taking over, and according to the one worker I talked with, I am not sure how much longer this will be available for us nomads.
RangerWe had a great experience at this free site - there are 4 designated camp sites each with a little pullout, fire ring, covered picnic table, and large gravel parking area (probably room for 4+ cars on each). Overall very quiet with a few people driving by and a bit of a hike to the bathroom from the camping area, but it did have running water so can’t complain.
GuideBeautiful park with great trails and stunning views of the lake. Lots of trees and grassy areas. Bathrooms are clean but older for sure. Site was in the smaller side for RVs and not the most level.
TravelerThis place was a pleasant surprise. Not a soul here at 5pm. Shade spots, or on grass. Picnic tables and trash bins, swimming area and a boat launch. Bit of washboard on the road, but nothing drastic. Probably busy in summer but a great stop for us in late January.
GuideWhen the full moon rises, the coyotes can't hold back their excitement!
LegendLarge spacious spots with lots of privacy. Deer and birds are all around.

Love being here. Out of the city, quite and the owners go out of their way to make sure your time at their place is comfortable & safe. The only reason why I gave a 4 ⭐️ is doesn’t have all the amenities you may want, but does have a laundry room.
Legend
Right off the freeway. Very nice spots. A totally new laundry facility. Will definitely come back when traveling through.
Scout
A nice quiet out-of-the-way kinda place. Just what I needed for a quick nights rest.
Traveler
Trying to enjoy camping kinda hard when theres constantly traffic and people listening to ur conversations its kinda creepy people now a days i wouldent go back
LegendIf at first you don’t find something you like– keep driving! You’ll find it! This place is Texas big with more recreational activities than I have ever seen, and I have been on the road for quite a while. The only thing I didn’t see was a bocce court! There are multiple camping opportunities so take your pick. The Wagon Circle was a trip-- 17 sites with water and electric in a circle around the facilities, see the photos. There are two pools– a kiddy pool and a full size(25 yards) lap pool. The pool area is in great shape, but many of the other activity areas are a bit dated. I was relying on my Verizon hotspot because of issues with Starlink and the signal was not great. I ended up dry camping in a picnic area because it was the only place I could get two bars LTE.
GuideThere are several sites here. Most of the campgrounds look fairly well taken care of. I'm new to this dispersed camping, so I don't have a lot to compare it to.
I'd stay here again. Large campsites, flat area for tents. I only took one star off because I don't feel the view is all that great. At least from the mountain to one last night in New Mexico! And because it's obvious people come here to party. I'm here on a Monday. I suspect the weekend is different.

We are full-timers in a 36 ft Class A with a Cherokee Trailhawk tow. We were in site 49 for just one night in late March. The campground is nice and well maintained. The sites are fairly well spaced, particularly for a private CG, which was nice. The staff were very friendly and helpful. There is a bit of road noise from I-20.
AT&T coverage was excellent, with 5 Bars of 5G service and speeds up to 10 MB/s. We had an unobstructed view of the sky and so we were able to receive all 3 SW Dish satellites and the Resort WiFi was decent with~2.5 MB/s. We didn’t try to load any OTA channels or set up Starlink.
GuideSpent a week here in March, great facilities bathroom/showers very clean. Awesome laundry facility in same building which are free to paying customers. Be prepared for fly overs from AFB but I loved the fly overs! Nice dog run and there is a private pond to fish in but I didn’t see any fish. Nice area to stop over even for a night.
TravelerNice spot to stay at for sure
GuideAbilene is a great state park with lots of space between campsites. We reserved #83 which was listed as a 25' site. We have a Class B with a very low clearance and could not make it up the steep incline to the pad without damage. Park official drove by while we were figuring out what to do and had us move to site 84. Still had an incline but we were able to get onto the pad by using some of our leveling blocks to raise the front end when backing onto the pad. Once on the pad, it was completely level. Used the blocks on departure as well.
RangerNot a vacation getaway, but decent play to park overnight. Arrived on a Monday afternoon. We took one of the sites and not long after we arrived many RVs, Vans, and gypsy travelers showed up and set up around the park. Thankful for a quiet night here.
Traveler
Small site, site very uneven, can hear noise from highway. Front desk staff very nice, (so were the neighbors). OK for overnight stay
