A very private site. The trees make it where you can’t see your neighbors. The updated showers are very nice.

Nice secluded and quiet
Very nice and quiet state park. Clean restrooms.
The park rangers here are phenomenal and so helpful. It’s one of our favorite state parks to visit.
Site 30 is large and perfect for a kiddo to run around.

History and Lodging
The entire park was well maintained. The restrooms and showers were modern, neat and clean. The historical site was closed for tours on the day that we stayed, but we were able to walk around the site and visit buildings. The signs on the outside of the structures were very informative and we were able to peek in the windows to experience life during those times.
Our stay in Site 41 was perfect for solitude and comfort. No bright lights from other RVs. There was only 1 other RV in this section. The partially shaded site had electricity and water. It is located quite a distance from the restroom/shower area.
This campground offers fun, history and camping all in one place!

Small but nice state park
This state park only has 4 full hookup sites but they are private feeling. The tour of the civil war buildings is very cool.

Review about Loyd Park Camping
Loyd Park is a wonderful destination for anyone looking to escape the city and enjoy the natural beauty of Texas. I highly recommend a visit to Loyd Park for anyone looking for a peaceful and relaxing camping experience. You should go there territorial io. The facilities are clean and well-maintained, the staff is friendly and helpful, and the location is unbeatable.

Shady Business Practices
Place is not consumer friendly and service staff is rude. Throughout the online reservation process nothing is disclosed regarding the terms and conditions. After they take and accept your money, they email you a link to the terms and conditions which MUST you must click ACCEPT in order to stay. Immediately tried to cancel as I didn't agree with some of the terms and they take a$50 cancelation fee. I call not disclosing this information prior to accepting payment, forcing acceptance after the fact and then refusing to return payment a shady practice. An upfront honest business would disclose this and provide a checkbox for you to agree to these terms before they collect your money. They basically twist your arm into signing to the terms and conditions if they already have your money, but refuse your stay and refused to refund in full if you won't sign.

Surprising Off-Highway Park
I chose this campground for its proximity to Fort Worth, and the lake. Just far enough off the highway to diminish all noise, surrounded by hiking trails, is the well maintained Holiday Park. Offering both water and electric hookups for RVs, some with a cabin included, alongside standard campsites right at the lake shore. Bathrooms are simple, fully functional, and never too far from any site. Sites are all a good size and not too close to neighbors. Nature/Horse trails line the park, and it's fairly quiet. There's some occasional aircraft noise, but no noise from the highway. The ranger station is well staffed and by the book, all the sites are visibly well maintained, cleaned regularly.

Dinosaur Valley SP
So wanted to see the dinosaur tracks! But it rained before we arrived and they were all under water. The trails on the other side of the river were all closed, mud and treacherous terrain. The inner trail takes you along the river and has several signs with information. The campsites are nestled in the foliage and nice spacing between. You can totally get the crustaceous era feel going. The foliage is also a nice noise damper. Electric and water plus hook thing at each site. Didn’t see any modern time critters during our visit, there were raccoon tracks on the trails and one deer track. Easy ride (bike) road through the campground. Older but well maintained showerhouse. The primitive camping is right on the river and remote sites are available. Dinosaur World is right down the road which would be cool with kids. Go learn about and then actually walk where the dinosaurs did. I am totally visiting again, I want to see the tracks.

So clean and nice!
We stayed in the month of November. It was cold and rainy but the park did not disappoint. The bathrooms as so clean. The park itself is gated and secure. Each shower has its own toilet and vanity behind a lockable door. Our campsite (532) was a little awkward to get in because of the corner and the speed bumps, but not impossible. There is a pond with a fountain and a HUGE fireplace (not fire pit) for relaxing. We will definitely be back.

Trails and Deer!
We were in site 020, electric only. No shade in this spot! Needed 2 blocks on the left side to level. Play ground, hiking, beautiful river! Many deer walking through the park. We were only here for one night, really wish we had longer to explore!
Charly S.GuideHillbilly Haven Recreational Vehicle Park
Great time, cool people but tubing didn’t go as expected
Me and my boyfriend came here to do some tubing down the Brazos river. If you’re camping here and intend on tubing I wouldn’t recommend taking their word on the water levels or flow of the river. We called before heading that way and they told us the flow was great. We ended up walking most of the way since the river was very low in most spots or wasn’t flowing much. Despite this we still had a great time and met some cool people, and the staff was very friendly and helpful. Very laid back atmosphere.

What a great park for families!
I have visited this park several times, and it was my first state park to explore when I was a kid. The Paluxy river runs through this park. When there’s been plenty of rain there are lots of places to swim! The blue hole is my favorite swimming area in this park, it has some deep areas, and I’ve heard of some undertows being there, so children should be supervised closely. There are some large rocks jutting out over some deep water in this area that are fun to jump from! To get to the hike in sites, be prepared to wade through the river. I believe it is a 2 mile hike to get to the most remote primitive site. Also, when the river is low you can see lots of dinosaur tracks! If you have extra time in Glen Rose, Fossil Rim is right around the corner! Both Dinosaur Valley and Fossil Rim are great places to take kiddos.

Nice campground with bathrooms and non potable water
Well maintained. There is no drinking water here so you will need to bring some in.

Great stay
Great campground with big shaded sites. Site 17 was right by the main walking trail that overlooks the river and there was a way to get down to the river from our site which was amazing. This allowed us to go down to river and explore and find tracks without going to the main area every time we wanted to. The parking slab was kind of short and our length wasn’t even the max size. The bathroom was very clean and the campground was well maintained. Staff was super nice and camp store has some of the basics if you needed it.

Loyd Park
Unimpressed
Overall the lake and wooded areas are good for a day’s enjoyment however the facility is not maintained. The bath houses are completely neglected. The light in the ladies BH is flickering so badly it was disorientIng, one shower did not work at all, toilets have no “seat”, and it is overrun with bugs (more than the normal campground). The gate entrance attendant is rude and unhelpful. No sewer hook ups at site so “community” dumping is necessary. The community dump is run down too with broken equipment and bent connections. Finally, for the camp charges $10/car/day. We have a drivable RV and rented a car so not only did we pay for the site but then paid more to have our car. Not going to stay here again.

Loyd Park
Loop A vs E
Overall the lake and wooded areas are good for a day’s enjoyment however the facility is not maintained. Also the entire park is huge so things are not within walking distance so if you don’t have wheels you’ll have to unhook for hike a good long distance to amenities. The bath houses in Loop E are completely neglected. The light in the ladies BH is flickering so badly it was disorientIng, one shower did not work at all, toilets have no “seat”, and it is overrun with bugs (more than the normal campground). The gate entrance attendant is rude and unhelpful. No sewer hook ups at site (E loop) so “community” dumping is necessary. The community dump is run down too with broken equipment and bent connections. Finally, for the camp charges $10/car/day. We have a drivable RV and rented a car so not only did we pay for the site but then paid more to have our car. Not going to stay here again. After dealing with E loop for a couple days we requested to move to A loop. A loop was much better but we were charged $20/day for the “upgrade”. A loop bath house was definitely better but still unimpressive. Office staff was friendlier and helpful (not gate employee).

Nice state park just NW of Ft Worth
Stayed here when passing through on way to points further west. Nice state park with hiking and historic buildings to see. Our site 5 was fairly private and set apart from some of the other sites that are bunched together along the road.

Very comfortable planned campsites
We stayed at the Group campground at the top of the dam, and it was a very nice, level site for our tents. It has a wind-break on one side that we were thankful for when the windstorms rolled through. Accessible by 2WD.
Easy access to the docks and to deer blinds to watch the deer come out (no hunting). Carol, one of the ranch managers, gave us a grand tour of the property - there are some beautiful primitive sites in the back of the ranch, including one that is "ideal for backpackers".
One thing to note if you are camping around the lake - sound travels. If there are guests at the lodge, you WILL hear them. Luckily, when the kids at the lodge woke us up at 2am with loud music and shouting, the managers were very quick to get them to quiet down.
Stars are bright out here. Coyotes sang us to sleep.
