TravelerPerfect little park close to the state park. Perfectly level spots. 30/50 amp full hook ups. A little store for any necessities. Pool/hot tub. Plenty of space for kids and dogs.
GuideSites are level, clean and have full hookups. Staff is very friendly, there is a pool, hot tub, small bike park, dog park and weekend activities. right next to Dinosaur Valley State park and dinosaur world and short drive from Fossil Rim. This is our second stay and will definitely be back.
LegendThis campground is very family oriented, playgrounds, a "real" fort, teepee, basketball court, hiking trails, and a huge family pool. There's also a grown up only pool with a hot tub! Laundry room was very clean, as were the showers. We were in site 414 which was mostly level pea gravel. Picnic table and fire ring were on this full hookup site.
GuideEvery site is pull through with full hookups and has a fire ring & picnic table! Staff was very friendly and store had all the essentials. Clean restroom and shower (1 stall), pet friendly and beautiful pool/ hot tub.

Good rv park if you have horses or if you are just wanting to stop with your rv in Stephenville on the way somewhere else. Not really a place I would stay at just for the experience itself. Very clean. Not many amenities to speak of. There’s really not a lot to say about this place other than it has rv spots and cabin rental. It appears it is for sale right now so if you staying in the future I would recommend calling to confirm all info is correct.
ScoutMy husband and I stayed at Dinosaur Valley RV Park (DVRVP) on two separate occasions in last four weeks. We stayed 1 night during our first time at DVRVP and 2 nights during our second stay.
Here are our pros: 1.) DVRVP shares a property line with DVSP. Guests are able to purchase a day pass online through the DVSP website and access DVSP without ever having to drive through the front entrance. It was a simple 1 minute walk to access the park through DVRVP.
2.) You do not have to enter DVSP to enjoy the Paluxy River. Guests of DVRVP can access the river by following a small trail at one corner of the park by the entrance of DVSP. Our family spent a whole day in the river a minute walk from our camper.
3.) Dinosaur World is across the street.
4.) DVRVP is a family owned and operated business. The service was friendly! We wanted to add a. Additional day. We called and left a message. Moments later we received a return phone call. We were placed on a wait list. A few hours later we received another phone call let us know they were able to add an additional day to our visit.
5.) The sites are pull in and leveled for the most part. Both sites we stayed at were clean, free of trash and pet waste. The fire pits had been cleaned out. Connections are conveniently placed on driver side and we’re cleaned.
6.) DVRVP staff hosts several family friendly activities for guests throughout the day, everyday.
7.) DVRVP has a playground, swimming pool, hot tub, fire pit and plenty of green space for kids to roam and explore.
8.) Pet Friendly!
9.) No RV age restrictions! We saw old to new class A’s to C’s and towable’s.
Here are our cons:
1.) 2 pet limit per site. We would love to bring all three of our dogs. One is tiny and is an incident dog.

Jake from The Dyrt here! I had the pleasure of speaking with the host here and they have a designed this cabin to be a no-worries glamping getaway just outside of the Dallas/Fort Worth area. Try them out for a weekend and leave a review about your stay!

Meridian SP is such a hidden gem. If you’re not a fan of the Texas heat they just added one limited use cabin in addition to RV, tent and screened shelter sites. The BEST place to stay is the shelters on the lake hands down! There is also a CCC building at this park that serves as a gathering area on the lakeshore. It has several well maintained trails and the lake is good for fishing. Wildflower season here is CRAZY!
Traveler
There wasn’t much to do but it was still fun, there is a bait shop and fishing dock area, the roads are gravel. There are cabins and places for your Rn/camper. And a boat “shop”.
Guide
We stayed here January 26 -31, 2021 on the first stop of a 3 month escape from Northern Wisconsin winter. I’m guessing it’s great when it’s warm and you have a boat. It was always windy. Concessions store closed for remodeling. Construction on cabin near our site. Nice bathrooms, shower water not super hot. Nice trails and tons of birds. A bunch of guys cleaning their catfish at a cleaning station near our site. Left a ton of carcasses that the rangers cleaned up. If you plan to use Texas state parks, get the pass as it will save you lots of money!

I recently stayed at Hideaway 23 Lakefront RV& Cabins for a weekend escape, and it exceeded all my expectations. The location build now gg right on Eagle Mountain Lake was breathtaking, and the adults-only policy ensured a quiet and serene atmosphere.

This campground is right across the street from Big Rock Park and a close drive to Dinosaur State Park. This a a large RV Park with campsites and cabins. There’s a huge pool with lifeguards and a big playground with updated equipment. My boys loved this place!! The restrooms/showers were spotless!!
Traveler
Made a reservation 2 hours before arrival and girl on the phone didn't require a deposit since I was driving. Check in was smooth as butta. There are some really nice cabins available for rent. We didn't look inside of them but they seem like they would be nice. Large meeting area, and laundry room. Would definitely stay here again.
LegendThis is a new campground and very nice. All sites are pull thru (approx 80’) with a lot of space between spaces. Grass is about 80% in for the pups. They have cabins, kids pool, adult only pool, large play ground and a club house. Staff is friendly and knowledgeable of the area. Easy access to the river right in the park. Only negative I have is the dog walking area lacks grass and has stickers. We will be back.
LegendThis is a great park for family fun, and would be awesome for family reunions or youth groups! They have literally everything you can think of for summer fun! Fishing, swimming, hiking, kayaking, bird watching! We stayed on the East side so we would be close to bathrooms and drinking water. Be aware if you stay on the West side the bathrooms and water are about a mile away. There are also RV sites, cabins, screened shelters and group sites. All sites have lake access nearby.
So the park is basically a huge lake with pretty clean water for a lake. There are a wide variety of hiking trails surrounding the lake.Each trail is very much its own with different scenery, rock formations, and trees. I think the longest trail is about 2 miles, so nothing to extreme. Perfect for families and kids. It is also very dog friendly which I love!!!
This park is also only 45 miles from Glen Rose! It would be a great place to stay at and take a day to go to Dinosaur Valley State Park. Meridian is a small town but it does have all the amenities you may need about 5 miles down the road. There is a grocery store, a gas station, and some restaurants if you want a warm home style meal.
The facilities are old but well maintained, and thankfully there are showers which will be needed after swimming. Don't let the size of this park get you down, it has so much to offer for a getaway from city life. IT is the perfect place to relax, take a dip, and read a good book!
GuideAs a kid we would come out here several times a year. We would boat, float, cliff jump, cookout, and enjoy each other's company. Twenty years later we are still enjoying these traditions.
If you like primitive, tent sites, cabins, or RV sites, there are plenty of options.
You should check out Hell's Gate while you are here.
There are also a few hike and bike trails, but this is mainly a park for boating and fishing.
ScoutI have enjoyed this camp ground for many years. They have a lot of things to do during the summer. Live music,playground, swimming at the pool, and shopping down town. The cabins are great as well brought the Girls Scouts a couple of years ago. Just brought a our Boy Scout troop last week and here this weekend with the Hubby. Even though the river this year was on the dry side. We still had plenty to do. Don’t let me forget Big Rock Park is awesome too!

We stopped by for the night after visiting the state park to meet up with some friends and I'm so glad we took the detour! The site was a little tight. We had one close to the cabins that you can rent and there was just enough room for all our vehicles and tents but not much more. There was the usual picnic table and fire pit. There was a communal spigot for water which is fine. Its more often a luxury for each site to have their own so I wasn't expecting that in this tent spot. but the campground was a different world. Yogi bear's world really.. My friends kids had a blast. There were scheduled activities all day long and the guys were able to go fishing in the nearby lake. We all had a blast. I would go back in a heart beat.

Lake mineral wells state park was great for biking, hiking, swimming and fishing. We had something fun for all 6 of us. My husband and I stayed in our tent, while rest of family stayed in their RV. It has been a very rainy month in Texas so some trails were closed. The camp store was awesome.we didn’t take advantage of the kayak or canoe rentals, but the prices were reasonable. Bathrooms, while a little dated were clean and had soap!
ScoutLots of activities, good clean sites and golf cart rental!
ScoutLots of activities to keep the kids entertained! Kids and adults both enjoy candy bar bingo and dancing the night away to tunes by an energetic DJ! We had a blast! Very nice spaces and golf cart rentals!

This was a last minute camping trip! One of those “I gotta get away” moments. Loaded up the van and the dogs and lucked out to get the last camp site with water and electricity. Sites are roomy and clean. Close walk to the bathrooms.
GuideBeautiful rv park. Not the kind of place you would want to stay if you’re looking to get away from it all as it’s right in town, but super convenient if your looking for a place to stop for a night or two in a park that’s safe and well maintained. Has hook ups and a water house.
GuideI'm from Texas, and I've never thought, "Let's go to Mineral Wells!". My daughter who lives in Ft. Worth suggested we go the Lake Mineral Wells State Park for a weekend camping get away. We wanted to spend the weekend hiking and hanging out at our campsite. This was the perfect combination.
We stayed on the Live Oak campground loop which has 30/50 amp/water. We were lucky to snag the very last spot for the weekend. Our site was right on the lake on a little 20 foot bluff that was perfect for watching the sunrise and drinking coffee each morning. We spend our only full day hiking. We visited the rock climbing area and also hiked to the primitive camping area. The weather was perfect, blue bird skies and breezy mid-60's.
We felt very safe at this park. The close the gate at 10 pm and you must have a code to enter after that. The park host is also a ranger. He and his wife were directly across from our site. The whole park seems to be heavily patrolled. Always a good feeling. I would recommend camping here!
