  Overnight stop

  Great overnight stop if you are needing full hook-ups although it is loud due to its proximity to the freeway and Love’s Truck Stop. We prefer dispersed camping but needed full services to be able to shower and fill water so the noise was expected and tolerable. Staff was friendly and facilities were clean. Note: the facilities are not available after office hours which in December are 9-5.

  Wildcat Park - Spence Reservoir

  Quiet and peaceful

  stayed here for a week in mid-November. Weather: 70 for the high and mid 40s at night. There were signs for nature trail, but I didn’t check it out. Beautiful views and amazing star gazing opportunities. Not much shade/trees near the sites. There sites are well spaced out along the reservoir: covered tables, trash can, grills, and fire pits all for a $5 day use fee. There isn’t a camp host or gate attendant on site. The people from LCRA that attended the park biweekly to empty trash. Minimal local activity during our stay. There is a dump station outside the park. Propane and groceries available only 10 minutes away. Excellent t-mobile service, was able to work remotely.

  Nice overnight stay

  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

  Quiet, peaceful night

  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.

  Lake Trammell Park

  Great spot to nap

  My husband and I are on a very long road trip. Last night around 3:30 am we were getting extremely tired and needed to make a stop for some sleep. All of the rest areas were completely full, the normal camp sites were not able to be booked and so we pulled up the Dyrt for a last minute free spot. The area was not hard to find, the stars are breathtaking, it was nice and very quite. I didn’t see much trash at all ether! It is simply a great place to stop for the night. We woke up to a very nice sun rise of wind turbines and a lake with duckies! Simply amazing.

  Nice CG for Convenient Overnight Stay

  We stayed one night (May 29, 2022). The is a nice, easy access CG with large, level pull through and back in gravel sites. It is located right off of I-20 and next to a Love’s Travel Stop – there is a lot of road noise and trucking activity, but no bother. I added the Western Kingbird and Bullock's Oriole to my birding list here. The WiFi was good as was cell service. We did not make use of the laundry, bathrooms or showers. It was convenient for an overnight stay. We would stay here again.

  Rough Creek Park - Spence Reservoir

  Follow the Brazos River!

  Decent spot for couple of nights while checking out the area. This park has maybe 10 sites. Most have tables and grills. Not really suitable for big rigs, as it is in the middle of Granbury. Ideal for tents, vans, or small campers. Lot of day use activity among the locals. Dumpsters and portable toilet are available. Lots of trees to protect from the summer heat! T-mobile was decent at this site. I was able to get some work done.

  Farmer owned

  We 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

  Lake Sweetwater Municipal Park

  Could be really nice with a little work

  I planned to stay here longer to explore the area, but with the combination of high winds and the set up here, I only stayed the night. Three sites are not clearly marked, so it's pretty confusing. The bathrooms were padlocked shut. The sign says to pay away the golf course. I arrived after dark, so I planned to do that in the morning, but someone was knocking at my door at 7:30 am to collect the fee. I didn't much care for that. It outs cheap, though, only $15/ night with hook ups.

  My 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.

  Texas RV Park of Big Spring

  Old and Rough

  Roads 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.

  Rough

  Had reservation, no email info, which would have been nice as there is no office. Pulled in trying to find out how to check in? Tight road with heavy trees. Had to make a tight turn when someone finally showed up to assist, ended up scraping my roof. This was my fault but had I had some insight before had would have been an easier process. Very rough site, with large ruts making it hard to put class A back tires firmly on the ground. Nice lady took payment, would problem not stay again.

  White Island Park

  Not what I was expecting

  I was planning at camping at this site for 3 days. Upon arrival there was no tress what so ever so bring a canopy shade or something. The view was great though. Also if you are going to sleep in a tent use stakes that are designed for clay as the ground is very hard. All in all was not a bad idea to just chill and let my dog explode around.

  Simple, peaceful, great sunsets

  We only had a one night stopover here on the way from Dallas to Lubbock but truly enjoyed it. The owner got us backed in and then returned with some peaches for us later on. Made us feel right at home and we will definitely return!

  Very nice host

  The park was not too far off the highway, so traffic noise was prevalent, but after dark it wasn't bad. The owner/host personally helped us to our site and assisted with hook-ups. He said he had plans to enlarge the park. Nice enough for an overnighter, and we would use it again.

  OK for a night travelling

  300 yds off the freeway so it's kinda noisy. It's better than a rest stop tho. $42 a night, 30/50amp and full hookups. Laundry, showers and bathrooms onsite. Hosts are hard to contact after 5.
