ScoutThe facilities were clean and the manager was nice but the cleanliness of the pool left a lot to be desired. Beware if you have pets because there's stickers everywhere. Smoke detector in the ladies restroom went off the entire time we were there. But that's just about it. Quiet except for the freeway, very busy place but very respectful folks.

Good overnight stop for weary travelers. FREE! No hassle with permit, just parked and plugged in. #10 spot electric worked just fine. Had a picnic table, BBQ pit & trash can. Park was clean & quiet with the exception of vehicles driving thru park with loud bass music but that would not stop us from coming here again.

Site was in the right place for our trip nothing there, but Cucklebur’s and fire ants all over the Management is very nice however.
GuideThis is our 4th time here I believe over a 10 year time frame. This is 2024. The electrical has slowly deteriorated. Site 10 this time had serviceable electrical hook up but…. More later. Site 4 showed on my meter to be good but upon hookup had a faulty circuit so going without the ac this warm late May evening. Site 9&10 seemed ok. Got set up and then took stock of where we are and noted the dead elm tree overhanging the site. One of those limbs falling on you would ruin your day. Didn’t check the water or make use of the dump.
Guide
Full hookups, which was nice. But the WiFi was essentially useless, which would have been nice in this otherwise unremarkable locale.
ScoutNice public park with about 9 sites, most have electric and water. Free to stay up to 4 nights! Clean, some traffic but not bad.
Guide
Small area in local park. Not for big rigs. Comanche has a pond,disc golf, playgrounds and trails that are nice. Lot of trash around tho. 3 days max.

Lamesa…WOW! What a great thing they have going on with Forrest Park and their FREE rv parking/hookups. We were passing through and decided to stop here for the night. We couldn’t have made a better decision. There are no bells and whistles with this place but if you’re looking for a place to park comfortably for the night, this is it. There is a park with a playground and swings right across the road which was a huge bonus for us as we were traveling with kids. They do accept donations and reservations are not necessary. 4 days free, $20 each night after that. We only stayed one night. There is some traffic that passes on the road between the RV spots and the park but nothing that was bothersome throughout the night. We did not visit the restroom facility so I don’t have anything to review on that. For just a simple place to sleep, I highly recommend this stop!! And free?? Count me in!!

On the good side, they have helpful , friendly office staff. And, as a bonus, FedEx and UPS deliver here
The campsites range from ‘ok’ to ‘needs help’. A tired park that could use some revamping. We enjoyed the different landscape. Dump station is not really usable for honey cart - surrounded by concrete lip/edging
A different/rugged kind of landscape. Really peaceful. Also somewhat windy - not sure if this is seasonal or not.
Starlink worked fine. T-Mobile, Verizon, Visible and Cricket were light on signal strength. Both Verizon and T-Mobile are 5G and download was ok but upload sucked
Loop road was wide enough for 1 vehicle, but was not a one-way road - cos of drive-thru sites. Plenty of room to pull off, so all good
ScoutGreat place for a longterm or short term stay. Affordable and quiet. Easy access from freeway and close to Midland city for restaurants.
RangerThis is Oil Country! As far as the eye can see…… and this is basically a field that they’ve bulldozed and put in full hook ups and rented out monthly to oil field workers. You can smell it on the breeze. You can use your passport america card here for 1/2 off, so it was $20 - which is a decent price. The Wi-Fi is good. You can hear the highway traffic. There are no other amenities as far as I can tell.
ScoutThe lake is down. The best place to see the lake from this State Park is at the very end by the boat launch area with picnic area. Day use. If choosing an RV spot you won't really see hardly any of the lake but a peek view.
It's still okay but nature is starting to take over and it appears that the state has no money for this park. Maybe others but not for this park.
Bird watching is cool. Ground squirrels and rabbits too. I don't know how they don't get stickers in their paws. Our poor dogs couldn't walk anywhere without getting poked and stuck.
Hardly any spaces have anyone in them. So sad that it's being overlooked in so many ways. 😪
Guide
No frills. Clean bathrooms and laundry. 60 channel cable. Did not try wifi. AT&T very good. Verizon mediocre. Loves and another convenience store within walking distance. Big dog run. Vending machine for ice on-site. Looks like beer and wine sales coming as well as a work out room. Owners appear to be making upgrades
Guide
We were greeted by the very friendly and welcoming owner, who showed us to our site and stayed until he was sure we would not have any issues at the site. The site was level and the hookups were in very good condition. The site was not too close to neighbors, but did not have a table. The park was mostly dirt with many nice trees typical of this region. There were a few toys around for children and an occasional bench to sit on. The park made for a nice evening stroll.
The RV park is conveniently located near the highway, but not too close. Highway noise was present, but distant and not a bother. There were trains that came through, but no whistles blew. We hardly noticed them and they did not disturb our sleep. The park was quiet and peaceful overall.
We only had 1 bar LTE with Verizon but had no issues with calls or using our hotspot.
This was a very nice place to stay a night while traveling. We will stay again when traveling this way. The owner let us know that March would be a good time to visit as nearby Sweetwater hosts its annual rattlesnake roundup.
LegendWhat a nice place to come and unwind!
It's a pretty large place but still small enough to get away from it all! Sites are well spaced so you're not on top of each other... nice! You're far enough away from town to make it inconvenient to just get up and go but still close if you want to go out for dinner or get some groceries.
Sites are "lay of the land" so be sure to have plenty of blocks/boards to help level out your rig, kinda typical for a state park.
The park staff/Rangers are very nice and helpful.
There are two trails to hike if you need something to do and can't use the lake. Check them out on the "Trailforks and/or GaiaGps" hiking apps. (https://www.trailforks.com/ridelog/view/46383104/) (https://www.trailforks.com/ridelog/view/46377598/)
GuideThis was a nice campground. The shower and bathrooms were clean. I had an owl as a camp companion all night. The campground was quite and clean.
Traveler5 sites close together by a main road and the park road. There are picnic tables and trash cans.
TravelerThis is a nice, clean campground for the most part. Lots of stickers for your dogs & shoes tho- its pretty quiet. Only a short hiking trail. Covered picnic tables. Nice sunrises & sets.
It seems like most people are using this as an overnight stopover for other destinations.
GuideNice stop over. Gravel, level, all services work as expected. Staff was very friendly, bathrooms, showers& laundry are VERY clean and updated. Tokens& quarters are available at the office. Site#66, Long Pull through, easy in/out. Surprisingly strong internet. HEB, Walmart, Home Depot, Lowes, lots of resupply options in the area. We would stay here again.
Only negative, which is no fault of the campground, is there is a LOT of construction in the area making entry a challenge with some scary U Turns in the city because our Garmin doesn’t register it.
So for any traveling in the immediate future here’s some notes. Exit 134 is closed(2/11/22), take exit 135. Do NOT try any route that takes you on the entrance through town, that end of Midland Road is closed. Stay on the frontage road, go through the 4 way stop(the frontage road curves up& back), then continue on the frontage road(has some construction but is passable) to Midland road, take a right, the park will be on the left. The office is the 1st entrance and pretty clearly marked.
If you’re traveling in the next month or so, call ahead and they can give you the latest ‘best’ route... wish we had, newbie mistake.
ScoutWe called the site and the owner was out cotton farming. Very friendly and trusting. We checked our selves in and deposited cash in the drop box. Got a military discount Site is a little disorganized could use some updating. Only thing it didn’t have was tv but the internet was excellent
LegendStayed here just a night but what a find! Free camping with hookups right in town. Fantastic AT&T service and plenty of space to walk the dog or play with the kids. Once you enter, you’ll see hookups on your right. These have electric and water. If you continue past the rest room, you’ll see another pull off on the right which has electric hookups only. The restroom was clean but only open during park hours. Noise settled down around 8pm and started back up around 7am. Definitely would recommend to anyone passing through. They do accept donations! Also would recommend swinging by Tin Buck Coffee, very close and very delicious!
ScoutMy husband found Ruddick Park on google maps n checked their website n it is open 24 hours.
Beautiful park on 138 acres, geese n ducks in the pond, pavilion, fire pit, amphitheater. The area by the lid building n trail states no camping otherwise no signage.
NO services so if you stay please leave no trace.
Quiet area with minimal noise.
ScoutVery friendly and helpful hosts let us pick our site. Many large flat pull-through with full hookups. Did not need to unhook toad. Easy on-off at exit 217. Thanks for the books and suggestion of hike to nearby pond Richard. Also convenient Sunoco with lot of space for gas and diesel big rigs.
LegendI hate to dog on a Texas state park, but this one was rough. In all honesty, we left and didn’t even stay a night once we got to our site. When we were driving in we noticed it was pretty flat and not a lot of trees, which is normal for this part of Texas. When we got to the check-in station there was a sign that said there was toxic sludge in the lake and to not go near it, and when we got to our site it was pretty much an open field covered in stickers with a metal swing set in the middle. My 9 and 7 year old voted to just muscle through another 4 hours of driving and just go home instead of staying the night there. Maybe it was just bad timing, but I’m not sure I’ll go back.
ScoutRoads are full of potholes. Grasses have goat heads in them. No WiFi what ever and no help from front office or manager- blamed their service provider. In my opinion, Park has made no improvements since opened. One good thing was that the men’s shower had great hot water! Looked like 40+ % of spaces occupied by full-timers. Most visitors stayed only one night.
TravelerThe park is nice and clean. Very quiet, it is November and cold for Texas. 50amp service and water only. WiFi is present but currently no internet. Spots aren’t quite level but close enough for an easy setup. Fire rings, and covered picnic tables at each spot. Plenty of space for activities for kids/dogs.
