Guide
Lake Livingston State Park is one of our regular visits. During the school year it is hard to head out on a Friday, drive 2-3 hours and then setup in the dark for a weekend camping trip. Lake Livingston is just over an hour from our house and has lots to offer. They recently rebuilt one of the camping loops to where now this is one of the few state parks in Texas that have Full Hookups. Not all loops have Full Hookups but a couple do.
Like most state parks in Texas the sites here are large and offer a lot of shade. Each site will have a table and a fire ring. There are tons of hiking trails and geocaches throughout the park. It is also close to shops in town so that if you forget something you are only about 15 minutes from a Walmart. There is a shop on site that has most of the essentials.
GuideWe have stayed here several times with family, some in tents and some in pop up trailers. The bathrooms are old, Texas is supposed to be getting new bathrooms in all state park facilities but had not gotten to this one as of our last visit. Park is larger, best to do with bikes if possible. Limited lake access but good fishing spots abound. Tower to climb, trails to hike, firewood to burn...
Legend
This is the best Thousand Trails we have been to in Texas so far! They have the best and the cleanest bathroom/showers I have ever seen. The pool is large clean and great furniture! They have tennis, pickle ball, basketball, mini golf and beach volleyball. The only thing I did not care for is the pull thru RV sites are really close together! This is a must visit park!
GuideThis has got to be one of the best campgrounds! We stay here every time we pass through Texas. The campground is huge and offers so many great amenities. People are always super friendly. We have made the most connections of any stay at this campground because of it. I always want to get one of the paved sites at the front because they look so nice! But they are usually taken. It’s so great having an Amazon hub locker right next to the campground as well! You can take your kayak right on to the lake from the access area on the campground. Bathrooms are nice and clean. And the pool / hot tub are open until 11pm which is rare for Thousand Trails!
GuideLake Livingston State Park is a fantastic state park for water activities. The fishing, boating, canoeing, kayaking and paddle boarding is all fantastic.
Campsites: The sites were all well maintained with the best spots being in Piney Shores & Red Oak. We were in spot #69. It had a great view but lacked in flat playing space for young children and hammock trees.
Trails: There were a few trails in the park, none of which were all that long. The main Trinity Trace Trail was flat dirt, good for young bikers. Though trails are short, they connect so you could do a few trails for a longer run/hike if you so desired.
Bathrooms: Each campground loop has one bathroom and shower. They can be a bit of a walk if you don’t have a close site. They appear to be older but maintained and cleaned well enough.
Park Specific Activities: Getting on the water was awesome, it’s the largest lake in Texas, so lots to explore. Fishing was fantastic. We caught bass, perch and catfish and lots of them! Getting in the lake left some to be desired. The bottom has many large rocks, tree stumps and is very mossy. Swimming can be fun but a little dangerous and slippery. The duck pond and frog pond are nothing to get excited about. We saw no birds in the bird blind and the frog pond is so small you almost can’t see it. We did hear a frog though.
Other: Connected to the park store they had a small educational space for young kids with a functioning beehive. The kids (ages 2-6) loved it. The park store is not open Mondays and Tuesdays. Kayak, canoe and paddle board rentals were only Thursday to Sunday 8:30-3:30. $10-20/rental. The pool was not functioning when we went in August 2018. They have a small amphitheater and near by a room available for rent which can have 50 guests. It was air conditioned and had nice hardwood floors.
In Summary: We would absolutely recommend it for water activities and relaxation. It’s a beautiful spot! We wouldn’t recommend it for just birding or hiking but the park as a whole is great.
Traveler
We have stayed here several times and always have a great time. Lots of shade and a nice little shallow cove to cool off in the lake.
ScoutGood place to stay while fishing and boating.
Scout
The sites themselves are as described on their website. Even the smallest site had plenty of room for a family to enjoy the outdoors with out feeling cramped.
ScoutThis campground is probably one of the best in the area. It's clean, well maintained with excellent restrooms that are well lit and spotless. The boat launch is in great condition with plenty of parking. The camp store is well stocked and operated by the nicest of people. Slushes and Pickles all day! You've got all the amenities for RVs, lots of picnic tables and the campsites are well spaced out with fire pits electricity including 30 amp along with water. Lake Livingston is great for fishing and they have a designated safe swim area. Overall this is a very safe, very clean and family-oriented campground. Highly Recommend.
TravelerEdit: We came back for Labor Day and it wasn’t to crowded! We tried the swimming area for the first time and we absolutely loved it. It’s perfect for the kiddos and not to deep, no matter how far you go out.
Had a blast here! Very kid friendly despite the playground being closed, the people who helped us were all very friendly. Water is shallow but once you get out of the little cove that the boat ramp is in, it’s smooth sailing. The sights are also very nice. Would definitely recommend to friends and we can’t wait to go back!
GuideSpent holiday weekend with the family. Bicycling, Swimming, Fishing, putt putt golf. The kids loved the park and the golf. I have been camping here since I was a child and now get to share the same experience with my kids.
ScoutThe camping spots were easy to set up in with access to water and electricity. The only downside was that the camping spot we were in was really close to the other sites so you'll have very little privacy. The camp store was run by friendly helpful people and the facilities were clean. Just be aware that during October there is a group that camps there yearly that can get quite loud.
GuideLoved our time at this park. Site was spacious though couldn’t get right on the water. Friendly neighbors and staff. Store on site. Fishing for catfish from the bank was great.
ScoutHidden gem of campground with very large sites, good distance between them and right on Lake Livingston.
This campground has plenty of shaded sites with plenty of space for walking pets, riding bicycles or just fishing.
ScoutVery clean
ScoutIf you want to enjoy a wonderful lake front getaway this is the park for you. Some spots are right on the water and the atmosphere is wonderful. They have a guarded gate and cute store in the park. The bathroom/showers are very clean and well kept. Do not worry about the month you decide to go, as there are plenty of trees. Also features a playground and designated swimming area. Fun!
GuideWolf Creek Park is well maintained with many nice shady campsites. Sites have water and electricity and some have sewer hookups. There’s a central dump station available as well. There’s a nice swimming area, playground and boat ramp with fuel for purchase. You can rent paddle boats, canoes and paddle boards, play miniature golf and purchase basic supplies from the park store. The park allows parking of extra vehicles on the grass adjacent to your site, so there’s room for your boat or extra vehicles.
TravelerWe’ve stayed here quite a few times. Love the lakefront sites. Clean bathrooms and showers. This park is closed to the general public on weekends, so even if it is filled with campers, things are usually pretty calm and quiet.
ScoutUsed to tent camp there then finally got a TT and it was amazing! Got a premium spot, plenty of room, park rangers were nice and a constable patrolled ever so often.
LegendThis Park is on the edge of being a 5 STAR park...
PROS
Senior Discount
Check-in at the gate without leaving vehicle NO street lights in A3 campground, so good dark sky viewing(when neighbors don’t have a dozen campsite lights illuminating 3-4 campsites)
Very very quiet Sunday thru Wednesday
Site 62 backs up to Lake Livingston so excellent view of lake and easy accessibility from lakefront campsites
Site 62 12 ft wide concrete parking pad level
Moveable wooden and metal picnic table on concrete pad
Metal fire ring(no cooking grate)
Pedestal BBQ grill Campsite utility hook-ups in good condition with no problems encountered
Trash pickup at each campsite 3 times daily
Pristine grounds
Very clean toilet/shower facility; it took 3 men 2 hours in a Monday to clean one facility, but no cleaning Tuesday or Wednesday or Thursday(didn’t even pick up the trash)!
Constable manning gate after normal gate hours
Roped off lake swimming area
Small playground near swimming area
CONS
Paid$3.50 reservation fee for completing 100% on-line reservation
On Day#2 of our stay, a neighbor camper came to us to inform us that the park manager just stopped by his site(we were at our site and saw him) to let him know there was a burn ban established for the next 7 days and that he need to spread the word to other campers. Two days later we saw a small burn ban sign posted at the toilet/shower facility. Communicating this crucial information needs improved. Perhaps posting signs throughout the park, especially at the entrance.
Trip hazard on the picnic table concrete where someone cut the chains that held the table in place
Numerous dogs roaming…no leash and no human
Absolutely no privacy from any other campsite as there is no vegetation between campsites
No evening trash pickup so have to store trash created by evening cooking
Gate was not closed overnight
Camp store and water craft rental closed Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday
No wildlife sightings
No park WIFI
No camp hosts
3 bars TMOBILE in A3 campground with no problems live-streaming with TMOBILE hotspot device
Traveler We were in site 33 on the water’s edge. The sites are nicely spaced.
GuideThis is a beautiful campground. We are at spot #24, but it’s looks like every site is awesome. They have a little store on site. The project is clean and well maintained. We will definitely come back.
ScoutI have been here so many times with my family and we all really enjoy camping here. The staff is very friendly and the grounds are very well taken care of.
LegendYou can have a horseback ride and steak dinner at the park for a reasonable fee and meet some interesting people. Swim in the lake, hike the trails, and kayak. The screen shelters here are more like little cabins and are right on the lake. Watch out for the mosquitoes.
ScoutWe have stayed here 2 different times. The east section is a little older and smaller sites but was still able to find one for our 42’ coach. The “YAPUN” section is where we stayed last and was new and very nice, all the sites had concrete pads to park on and are fairly level. 30/50 amp service, water and sewer connections. They also have a central dump station. Lots of walking trails.
GuideThis state park has beautiful views of the lake and is very clean and maintained. We had a great visit and they had friendly staff!
