  Abilene State Park Campground

  Tucked away in the trees

  Smaller state park with lots of shade in the Texas heat. The areas has plenty of place to picnic and walk around. A few trails with a small pond that connects a few together. There is also a pool area this must be booked along with your site reservations. There are also place to tent camp, cabins and yurts with electricity to rent. The sites vary from full hookups to water and electricity. Each site is private and not to close each with plenty of privacy. There is also a lake that’s outside of campsite area that can be busted up the road.

  Two things I love:

  1. Shade and privacy
  2. Picnic table and fire pit at full site hook up.

  One thing I didn’t like:

  1. Road is currently damaged for easier exit so their is a detour.

  Lake Stamford Marina

  Country Living at the Lake

  The sites are located close to the water with full-hook ups available. Most spots are gravel but depending on lake level some spots now have grass. The better sites have their own covered picnic tables. Some sites have tree with shade closer spot to the water do not any trees or picnic tables. 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. Pets allowed but there is no designated area so must be picked up after. It’s really busy during holiday peak times when we went but it wasn’t as bad as most lakes in the area. Pull through spots are available and some spots are park as you choose. This place isn’t a resort has all amenities but it is right by the water and if you have a boat it’s not a short distance to dock.

  Two things I love:

  1. It is right by the water
  2. The store was pretty well stocked

  One thing I didn’t love: Some areas are park as you can fit and not paved or gravel.

  Nice 1st time experience

  This was our first camping experience traveling full time in our 5th wheel. We had no reservations but found a "walk up" spot in the Wagon Circle Loop. Our spot was #15. It was a loop with back in sites which had electric/water hook ups. There is also a dump station. There were bathrooms, fire pits, and picnic tables. There is a recreation area nearby with a playground and a swimming pool. Due to the time of year, the pool was not yet open. There were hiking trails and it was our first experience with geocaching.

  Eh...

  This trip was an odd one for us because we had additional family members who aren't outdoorsy joining us. Tent camping did not appeal to them so we reserved one of the yurts that Abilene State Park boasts. The yurt had electricity, a mini fridge, fan, and a small air conditioner. Even with the AC on it was well over 90° in the yurt, which we weren't thrilled about, especially since we had an elderly family member with some health issues in our group. Otherwise, the park is fine. It has a nice pool, easy walking trails, and access to a lake that is strangely located outside of the park a few miles down the road. The facilities were nice and the staff memebers werw mostly polite and helpful. I wouldn't recommend the yurts, but then again that's not really my thing to begin with.

  Abilene State Park Campground

  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!

  Great campground on the lake

  We so enjoyed our stay here! Right on the water and the campgrounds are spaced out enough that you are not right on top of each other. There is a convenience store on site that has most anything you need. There is also a Men’s and Women’s bathrooms with two shower stalls (in the women’s at least) - but no family bathroom setup. Everything was pretty basic, as you would expect at a state park.

  Lake Stamford Marina

  Not worth the price

  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.

  Great campground

  We stayed in campground #37 in Cedar Grove and thought it was wonderful. The site was spacious, and it had a water spout, a picnic table and fire pit. The trees are really pretty in this area. The bathrooms were not the cleanest I’ve seen during COVID times but the entire campground was empty so we were not super concerned. And they have showers, which is so nice. Definitely recommend!

  Abilene Yurts

  There's not much to the park, but its claim to fame is that there are yurts! Stay in one of the canvas tents for the night or pick a tent spot at Cedar Grove to be centrally located. While not a huge area, there's a decent 3.5 mile hike/bike trail around the lake and back.
