Very quiet park, with water and electric at every site. No dump station that we found. Cost was $15, and you have to drive back into town to city hall to pay. We were there in the winter, but the city park is very nice for such a small town.
Guide
I car camped here while passing through TX in a tent site, and I found the peninsula-like campground gorgeous! Lake views, deer, and a well-kept bathhouse just feet away. Spots are close together with few trees around, although few others were around.

Copperas Creek COE in Comanche, TX (Lake Proctor) Site #63 50 amp Full hook up Back-in site March 2024
Beautiful park! The lady working the gate should have her picture in the dictionary under customer service. Very pleasant & welcoming!
The site has lots of shade trees with a view of the lake (not lakeside). Sites are not on top of each other, but no type of barrier between sites. Water had a terrible smell.
Despite it being the beginning of spring break in Texas & the amount of people here, it is fairly quiet.
If you’re camping with others, there are 3 double RV sites on this end of the park.
Would definitely come back here again. — at Copperas Creek Park.

Hords Creek COE in Coleman, TX Site #75 50 amp Full hook up Pull through site April 12-16, 2024
The site was roomy with lots of shade trees. Our door faced the west & trees were not close enough to our RV to block out the evening sun. We did have a lakefront view, but the lake is WAY down.
This loop was full over the weekend, but sites are spaced just far enough apart that you can still enjoy the peace & quiet.
If I had a choice of any spot in the park, it would be #73.
Will definitely be back. — at Hords Creek Lake.
TravelerHords Creek COE in Coleman, TX Site #73 50 amp Full hook up Pull through site March 2024
In the last 23 days, we’ve stayed in 6 parks, I have to say that this is my favorite park so far.
The site is roomy with lots of shade trees with a lakefront view (even though the lake is WAY down). Sites are not on top of each other.
There were a few people here when we arrived, but never heard a peep out of them.
The peace & quiet that we’ve experienced in this park is beyond words. Relaxation at its best!
When we come back, we’ll either get the same site, or #76. — at Hords Creek Lake- Lakeside Park.

I recently visited with my family, and we were pleasantly surprised by the tranquility and beauty of this hidden gem. We stayed at one of the RV sites near the lake, and the view was absolutely breathtaking, especially during sunrise and sunset. The site itself was spacious, well-maintained, and equipped with all the necessary amenities. One of the highlights of our trip was renting a pavilion for a barbecue gathering with friends. The pavilion was conveniently located near our RV site and provided everything we needed, from running water and electricity to a large fireplace for cozy geometry dash evenings. The campground staff kept the pavilion and surrounding areas impeccably clean and groomed, adding to the overall enjoyable experience. Although the shower and toilet facilities were a bit of a walk from our site, we found them to be clean and well-maintained, which was much appreciated. Overall, Lakeside proved to be the perfect getaway for our family, offering a peaceful retreat amidst nature's beauty. We're already planning our next visit!
ScoutI often go camping in the summer and play basket random with my friends in the cool breeze in the windy evenings.
Guide
Quite city park with restrooms, playground, basketball court, picnic areas with water and 110 electric, one pavilion. Full hook ups ( 50 amp and 110) for 6 Rv spots on a gravel pad. Trash cans available within the park/picnic areas. No signage for maximum free stay.

This is a very quiet and open campground. We saw lots of deer every night. This area of Texas is hot and dry and the landscape reflects that. We had electric and water (slow flow). There is a dump station at the front near the gas station and the store. Most people are here to catch giant fish in Lake OH Ivie.

Sowell is a great family friendly campground. Well kept, with an easy access boat ramp. Highly recommended

Not too bad for a City operated RV Park. It was quiet at night although the flood lights were a little annoying. My electricity did not work but they fixed it quickly. I thought it was $20 a night, but it turns out Friday and Saturday nights are $40 each. Bathroom was clean. The City of San Saba is very nice.
ScoutWe stay here at least twice a year. WiFi is provided. Plenty of walking trails. Great showers. The city of Brady does a good job of upkeep and are very accommodating and pleasant to deal with. Our go to place!
ScoutWhat a wonderful location to visit. We enjoyed camping here, and loved finding gem sites around. We went on a trek that brought us to a beautiful water hole where we could jump in, swing into the water from a tree and find wordle together.
GuideI was the only person camping on the small loop where my site was. The campground itself is something of a a large field. The sites them selves have several trees. The site was flat and clean. The starts were awesome. The shower/ toilets were a bit of hike but they were very clean.
GuideThis place is BIG. Very spacious campsites. Wide open so if it’s windy you will feel it. There are deer roaming every morning and evening. Very interesting place but not much to do unless you are able to use the lake. There is a Walmart about a half hour away. Neat little town of Coleman about 10 minutes away has some good restaurants.

Ashley here with The Dyrt. Happy to welcome your host, James. This property is gorgeous and offers Pine Trees to help with shade. My favorite feature is the public access trail right from the property up to Mount Blanca which is at 14,300 ft and is the 4th largest mountains in Colorado! Book your stay and leave them some love.

LegendGeneral: Approximately 140 sites (plus 12 cabins) spread out all around Hords Creek Lake in two areas: Lakeside Park and Flat Rock Park. According to the map, two of the four gatehouses are closed – not sure if this is a permanent closure (and don’t know if these campsites are also closed). There was no attendant at the gate when we arrived.
Site Quality: Paved/gravel driveways, some are pull-through, some have sewer hookups, and some have 50 amp electric. A bonus for us that we did not know when we reserved is that several sites have screened-in shelters with electricity and a generous-sized concrete picnic table. There are many trees throughout the campground and although we didn’t need the shade when we were there, I imagine it would be nice during the hot summer. There is also a fire ring but there was a strict fire ban when we were there (In fact, there was a large wildfire about 8 miles from the campground and we had been warned to stay ready to evacuate if the wind changed direction).
Bathhouse: There seem to be more than adequate bathhouses located throughout, however, the one closest to our site was small and somewhat inadequate: one shower, one sink, and two toilets. If the campground was completely full, this may pose a problem. There was no hot water, even in the shower and the shower door did not have a latch for privacy. Also, no hooks or shelves, or soap dispensers. Make sure you bring a towel if you do not want to use the air dryer.
Activities/Amenities: There are several boat ramps, fishing docks, and swimming areas at different points of the lake. There was a nice, covered playground in the Lakeside Park campground. It is a bit of a hike to the dumpsters.
This was an overnight stay for us as we continued to travel through Texas, but we appreciated some of the amenities offered at this campground

the place is cute! I have no cell service with ATT, but there’s wifi so that’s fine! if it’s busy, campsites are relatively close together, but there are lots of little areas to get privacy. there’s a single bathroom with a code to get in. it has a nice shower, a space heater, and two sinks. if you’ve been camping, it’s a great respite from roughing it. it’s just next to the colorado river, with a nice view of the regency bridge. $20 for primitive camping. recommend!
GuideVery nice park. We are at pad # 84 and it’s great. They have a large concrete pad next to the trailer . Very new picnic table. Rest room , shower is very clean
GuideI’ve come here several times for fishing, swimming, and camping. It was always well maintained when I went. Very good fishing place, friendly staff.
LegendThis park is so quiet and relaxing. Sites 1-7 are full hookups and BRF except site 2 (low hanging tree). We were in site 6 and it was perfect. The park is very big with a swimming beach and fishing pier. There are stickers for you dog owners so beware in some areas. Rode our bikes five miles inside the park roads. We will be back.
