    Live Oak Ridge

    Wonderful COE campground

    We had a 3 night stay here and it was our first experience with a COE campground. It is located on Belton Lake. It is a gated entrance and the gates locked at 11:00pm. Our site was situated at the end of the loop and it was very spacious. It had water/electric with a dump station. It had a picnic table and fire pit. It also has a laundry room near the entrance. There is a playground, restrooms, and showers. There is also a boat dock. It is a very well kept campground. I did not use the bath house, so I cannot give a review on how it looked. The laundry room was spacious and the machines were in working order. It was a perfect campground. My review would have been 5 stars but there is no swimming area.

    Good Lakeside Sites

    You can find sites here that overlook the water, and have some paths down to the shore (some paths are sketchy though). Fire pit with a grill you can lay over or pull off. Charcoal grill. Covered areas for each site, and they are a good place to set up, and there are lots of hooks and nails to hang stuff up.

    Bathrooms seem iffy. One had intermittent water issues, not flushing. Automatic timed lights can be a pain. Especially if natural light is limited.

    Cedar Breaks Park

    A definite favorite COE

    This may be our new favorite of the COE's we have experienced. It's location close to Georgetown, Texas and all it has to offer, the shaded shelter over the table and the spectacular views... It's another amazing week of perfect lakefront living. The Cedar Breaks Park COE campground sits on the Lake Georgetown reservoir formed on the San Gabriel River. Our site is ideal for both sunrise and sunset color displays with stunning rocky cliff shoreline views. Super sweet spot with asphalt pad, 50/30/15 amp electric, water, fire pit, grill and a covered picnic table shelter with a path down to the perfect swimming hole...and 58 others. The 26 mile San Gabriel River Trail is accessible from the park and fishing for the anglers in your group. The nearby town of Georgetown has a historic downtown filled with shops, eateries, and fun stuff...plus the area has wineries, breweries, museums and entertainment. Austin is just 25 miles. The America the Beautiful pass makes the per night price a true bargain! Easy access from I-35 GPS 30° 40' 5.2680"-97° 44' 15.2412" l 2100 CEDAR BREAKS RD GEORGETOWN, TX 78633 l 512-930-5253

    Russell Park

    Russell Park + Trees + Trail + Lake

    This is a review of the established campsites at Russell Park along the San Gabriel River Trail. Reservations for campsites can be made through (877) 444-6777 or www.recreation.gov.

    These are drive up campsites where you may park your car next to your assigned site. The campsites have a sun awning, picnic table, campfire pit/grill. Russell Park has 27 tent-only sites with no utilities. Check-in time for reservations is 3 pm and check-out time is 2pm. There is a designated swimming area within the campground. 

    One of the advantages of this park is that it sits along the San Gabriel River Trail. The trail circles Lake Georgetown and is 26.2 miles. It passes through forests, grasslands, over some small hills and across a few tributaries. I'd say that 40% of the trail has some tree coverage, but 60% is exposed. In the summer be aware that the combination of the temperature and the exposure makes this trail uncomfortable to hike. Take precautions, drink lots of water and stay in the shade all that you can. While you are walking within site of Lake Georgetown, it is not always convenient to access the water. So carry plenty of water. 

    The trail is getting more and more popular with backpackers, so it is likely that you may see others on the trail. On weekends you may encounter scout troops practicing. During the weekdays you may not see a single person. Dogs are allowed on the trail, but it is nice to keep them on lease.

    Cedar Breaks Park

    Beautiful big sites

    The sites are large which means you aren't right on top of your neighbors. Lots of shade. Each site has its own shelter with picnic table, grill and fire pit. Electric and water but no sewer. The sites along the outside of the loop have lake views and are level. The sites along the inside are scary unlevel! Some of the big rigs were backed in and jacked up 4 feet or so in front. Saw a lady break her ankle stepping out of her camper. Be prepared to level your camper! I suggest odd numbers 19-35 and even numbers 36-42 as the most level sites with the best lake views.

    The park has hiking trails, boating and swimming access, but none of these are accessed right at the camp area.

    Restrooms are very basic with no hot water. They were clean but a little creepy for showers. I used the toilets there during the day and my camper shower and toilet at night.

    Cedar Breaks Park

    Beautiful spot on Lake

    The park is on Lake Georgetown which is beautiful. Lots the f mature trees. Campsites have some decent separation. Sites have covered structure with picnic table. Also have fire pit and barbecue. Some spots have direct view of lake. Bathrooms are ok but only reason I do not give higher review.

    Live Oak Ridge

    The showers gave me life

    I’ve spent a lot of time in Belton, but never at this campsite. I was delayed by a day due to tornadoes in the area, so I was already frustrated when I arrived to find that no one mans the entry gate…ever. I also did not receive my confirmation email upon booking, which contains your code to enter the gate, but luckily enough they have a number posted you can call and camp hosts within sight of the gate who can help you get in. I was on loop 4, which has the best shade, but some of the sites can be a little crammed in (and it can become loud on the weekends which is to mostly be expected). No sewer hookups, but they do have a dump station on site. Another perk is the private boat ramp for campers along with covered picnic tables at the less shaded sites and a playground for kids. My favorite part was honestly the showers though—they were so fantastic! The bathroom is heated in the cooler months and the water pressure and hot water can’t be beat; it’s the best camp shower I’ve experienced! I also had good enough service with AT&T to work with my phone’s hotspot, but Verizon was pretty poor and even streaming videos was choppy, though you can call and text as usual.

    San Gabriel River RV Camp Resort

    Very nice

    I stayed there for 3 months in my 24 foot motorhome. They usually have a waiting list. Very nice park with mostly permanent residents. Lots of trees. River access. Bathrooms with showers, laundry room, fenced dog park, common areas with rec room, huge grassy area.

    Lake Bryan Campground

    Lake Bryan

    While the camp spots are few, this area gets extra points for its walking/running/biking trails. The park is open 365 days of the year and is first-come, first-serve on sites. Only $10 for the night. Check out the Lakeside Icehouse for events and live music throughout the year. Now the trails: ~20 miles through the trees with well-marked signs to guide you. Maps can be found here: https://brazosvalleymountainbikeassociation.wordpress.com/lake-bryan-trail-maps. Several local triathletes train in open water here as well. Outside of peak concert/event times, this is an ideal area for a quiet getaway.


Guide to Cameron

Glamping accommodations near Cameron, Texas offer diverse options for overnight stays with electricity, shade structures, and water access. Sites range from basic electric/water hookups to more developed glamping spots with covered pavilions. Most campgrounds maintain minimal facilities with vault toilets, while a few provide shower access and dump stations for recreational vehicles.

What to Do

Fishing opportunities: Wilson H Fox Park provides access to crappie fishing along Lake Granger. "You wonder what this lake is best for fishing? It's crappie," notes Douglas D. about Wilson H Fox. The lake features fishing piers and shoreline access from multiple campsites.

Hiking trails: Lake Bryan offers approximately 20 miles of marked trails through wooded areas near the water. "The hiking trails at Dana's Peak provide beautiful scenery along the trails," mentions Janese W. about Dana Peak, which features multiple trail systems connecting throughout the park.

Swimming areas: Designated beach areas at several campgrounds provide sandy entry points for water access during warmer months. "We had a quaint campsite with a Lakeview. There was a fishing pier, boat ramp, and beach to swim at," reports GoWhereYouAreDraw N. The swimming areas typically don't have lifeguards, so visitors should practice water safety precautions.

What Campers Like

Covered picnic areas: Many campsites include permanent pavilion structures that provide shade during hot Texas days. "Each space had a picnic table and grill. The coverings over the tables are thick wood and very large on a concrete pad," Amy H. shares about Cedar Breaks Park, where most sites include these structures.

Distance between sites: Campers frequently note the spaciousness and privacy between campsites. "The sites were spaced out so that you're not camping on top of one another. Each space had a picnic table and grill," mentions GoWhereYouAreDraw N. Some loops offer more privacy than others, with outer loop sites typically providing more separation.

Wildlife viewing: The natural surroundings support various wildlife, particularly at dawn and dusk. "We come here every year. Quiet, calm. Fishing, swimming, animal watching, it has it all," explains Elizabeth M. Deer sightings are common throughout the camping areas, especially in less developed sections.

What You Should Know

Limited shade options: Several camping areas lack significant tree cover, creating challenges during summer months. "Not many actual camp sites and every site is sunny," warns Deb about Dana Peak. This affects comfort during peak summer temperatures from June through September.

Bathroom facilities vary: Restroom accessibility and cleanliness fluctuate across locations. "Bathrooms seem iffy. One had intermittent water issues, not flushing. Automatic timed lights can be a pain. Especially if natural light is limited," explains Joseph C. about Wilson H Fox.

Seasonal flooding concerns: Some areas experience periodic flooding that impacts trail conditions and access. "Sommerville has been wrought with flooding and hogs...both running a 'could be' beautiful landscape. Many of the rails were unusable," reports Kevin M. Weather forecasts should be monitored before planning trips, particularly in spring.

Tips for Camping with Families

Playground availability: Several campgrounds maintain playground equipment for children. "We road bicycles, played on the playground. Hiked around and fished," shares Cathy C. about Cedar Ridge. The playgrounds typically feature basic equipment without specialized features for very young children.

Swimming safety: Designated swimming areas provide safer experiences for families with children. "The swimming area was great. They were not doing a good job of keeping the bathrooms clean. This was really our only complaint," notes Bobby A. Parents should bring water shoes as some swimming areas have rocky or uneven shorelines.

Site selection for shade: Campsite locations with adequate shade become crucial for family comfort. "If you study the park map it is very easy to find a spot with lots of shade. Spots are spacious, some large," advises Roscoe's R. Sites with east-facing orientations provide morning shade while west-facing sites offer afternoon relief.

Tips from RVers

Site leveling challenges: RV campers note significant leveling issues at certain locations. "The sites along the inside are scary unlevel! Some of the big rigs were backed in and jacked up 4 feet or so in front. Saw a lady break her ankle stepping out of her camper," warns Karen H. about Lake Somerville State Park Birch Creek Unit. Bringing additional leveling blocks proves essential.

Limited hookup availability: Many sites offer only water and electric connections without sewer. "30/50 amps, and water hook ups. No sewer," reports Mary S. Dump stations serve as the alternative, requiring strategic tank management for longer stays or planning to relocate RVs to dump stations periodically.

Accessibility considerations: Some campgrounds have restricted access for larger RVs. "We stayed in spot 58 which is on a small bluff overlooking the lake. We had a trail from our spot to the lake which we took advantage of," mentions Mark S. Researching specific site dimensions before booking prevents arrival complications for larger rigs.
