SeaBee Park
Good for a layover
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.

Good easy spot
Bathrooms available and plenty of space. There were some bugs though
Abilene State Park Campground
Gorgeous Campground
Nice wooded area, sites are spaced well, clean bathrooms, very family friendly, full of wildlife, gorgeous sunsets and starry night

OH HOW WE LIKE STATE PARKS
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.
Possum Kingdom Lake BRA - Bug Beach: BRA Area #5
5 Public Use Camping Areas for free
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.
Hubbard Creek Public Recreation area
Hubbard Creek Reservoir
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.
SeaBee Park
Great free spot
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.
Possum Kingdom State Park Campground
Nice state park
Beautiful 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.
Hubbard Creek Public Recreation area
Hubbard Creek Reservoir
This 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.

Howling at the moon
When the full moon rises, the coyotes can't hold back their excitement!
Abilene State Park Campground
Wildlife haven.
Large spacious spots with lots of privacy. Deer and birds are all around.
Dakota Lone Star Rv Park
Dakota Lane
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.
Millers Creek Reservoir
Quiet
A nice quiet out-of-the-way kinda place. Just what I needed for a quick nights rest.

Hard to Find an Activity Not Avaiable
If 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.
SeaBee Park
Large camping areas!
There 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.

Nice spot to stay at for sure
Abilene State Park Campground
Great park, would like to return
Abilene 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.
SeaBee Park
Sufficient Site
Not 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.

Small site, site very uneven, can hear noise from highway
Small site, site very uneven, can hear noise from highway. Front desk staff very nice, (so were the neighbors). OK for overnight stay
Abilene KOA
Bright lights
The tent sites are next to the motel that Is next to the koa. The lights from the motel are super bright and light up the site. You will also be right next to the highway and be able to hear it all night. Bring ear plugs!!!
Abilene RV Park
Great overnight stop
I was running a little bit behind and had to stop for Def So it made us show up after hours. Easy to find right off the interstate and they left a envelope at the front door with directions easy Peezy

Nice wooded campground with decent views of the stars
The Cedar Grove tent camp area was well wooded with sites that were decently spaced. The sites had a fire ring/grill with a lantern post. There was water spigot close to my site. The restrooms were clean and the showers hot but the heater shower was slow to heat up. Decent views of the stars at night
Abilene KOA
Another PERFECT stopping point
Tidy, warm facilities, nice amenities.
SeaBee Park
A foggy day
Campground is nice enough. Lots of highway noise, but easy to find. All spots were taken, but we got lucky when someone left.
Drive past the bathrooms and the entrances to the sites are on the left.
A little trashy along the water, which was low. And the fog lessened the visibility. I’d say it’s nice enough to stop on a road trip or to relax for a day or two.
SeaBee Park
Excellent quiet spot!
Road in has a few holes (see pictures we took) but easy to get “through”… absolutely wonderful park! Quiet (in October) and we saw much wildlife! Deer! Egrets! So lovely… and far from the road (so no noise)!
Abilene State Park Campground
Cedar Grove Camping comfortable yet wild
I was the only camper in the Cedar Grove area (mid-October). I saw deer around the campsite and heard coyotes nearby. Got 1 bar with T-mobile very spotty at my site. Took a hot shower and enjoyed some quite breathtaking views all around the park.
Abilene State Park Campground
Great family campground
As with most every Texas State Park, the sites are well maintained and clean. Pads are level with plenty of room to get and out. Separate “Tent Only” sites are available. Lots of shade from trees throughout the park. First visit to this park on my way up to Colorado. Nice stop over when driving from Austin. Phone signal was not the best(booster helped). I was able to get internet using my phone as a hot spot for laptop.
This was first time at this park and I noted several families with kiddos enjoying the park, I was just passing through but would definitely stay again,
