Best Campgrounds near Albany, TX

The camp host is so friendly. Road down the lane on his bike and we had a great conversation. It's quiet and peaceful here. I would certainly come back! Thank you, David.

Nice and easy to pull into and close to city. Lake is less than 200’ from rv spot. Could use more maintenance and some trash around.

Good experience. Basic park free for overnighters, $20 day there after. Appears park is mostly full of union workers. Very nice city park with kids play area and ponds. Ball fields also. Flat level spaces. Just enough room to fit rv

Heading west. Booked online. Clean and neat. Friendly host. Reasonable price. Just off I20. Businesses Including Walmart just around the corner.

Part of the city park, next to the ballfields, a series of ten or so widely spaced shelters, each with a picnic table, and electricity and water for two campers at each shelter. Flat, grassy ground, well maintained and trash-free, all next to a small pond. Clean restrooms and trash receptacles on site. Welcoming sign: free the first night, $15 per night afterwards. Off the beaten path and a very pleasant surprise. Great sunset and watching the birds on the pond.

GPS instructions took us to a locked gate, behind which there were tall weeds growing up around an abandoned site.

Overnight stop, far enough from the interstate that the road noise was minimal. Easy to book online last minute. New owner on-site, came by to make sure we had what we needed. About 50 sites, most seem to be long-term. I would stay again.

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.

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.

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.

Bathrooms available and plenty of space. There were some bugs though

Nice wooded area, sites are spaced well, clean bathrooms, very family friendly, full of wildlife, gorgeous sunsets and starry night

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

Due 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.

We 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.

When the full moon rises, the coyotes can't hold back their excitement!
