What campers like

Clean, well-maintained facilities: Cabin guests consistently mention the cleanliness of accommodations and shared facilities. "It is friendly, clean neat, well kept, the bathroom s have hot water to shower, and the landscape is peaceful," notes Teresa M.
Animal interactions: Some properties feature mini-farms where guests can interact with animals.

What you should know
Seasonal bug considerations: Prepare for insects during summer months. "Pretty buggy(gnats/flies--did not see mosquitos). VERY quiet(we were also the only campers in this area)," reports Mark M. about Lake Brownwood State Park.
Limited cooking facilities: Cabin amenities vary significantly across properties. According to Bill B., Green Deer RV Park offers cabins with "two full bathrooms complete with showers, work out room, washer and dryers and an area for meetings."
Town proximity: Several cabin rentals are conveniently located near towns with services. "Beautiful 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," reports Mesha P. about Lost Creek RV Park.
Reservation response times: Communication varies between properties. One guest reported, "No one ever returns an inquiry or phone call," when attempting to book at Hoof Prints Ranch.
Tips for camping with families
Bring water and sun protection: Summer conditions require proper preparation, especially for outdoor activities. "Take plenty of water, Insect repellent, and sunscreen with you if you decided to bike the Nopales Ridge Trail in the middle of June," advises Larry D.
Consider air-conditioned options: During hot months, climate-controlled cabins provide comfortable family accommodations. "There are air conditioned cabins available, many with lakeviews," notes Larry D. about the options at Lake Brownwood.
Plan for ant encounters: Prepare for local wildlife, including prevalent insects. "Black ants rule the park. Plan accordingly," warns a visitor to Lake Brownwood State Park.
Use fishing opportunities: Multiple fishing piers accommodate families with children. "There are at least two floating piers (with lights!) and one wooden fishing pier (with lights!)," reports Larry D., making evening fishing accessible for families.
Tips from RVers
Site spacing considerations: Many properties with cabins also offer RV sites with varying degrees of privacy. "The RV sites are all full connections pull through sites that are very, very tight," notes Dude R. about Off The Vine RV Park.
Equestrian-friendly options: Some facilities cater to travelers with horses. Hoof Prints Ranch is "Good if you have horses or if you are just wanting to stop with your rv in Stephenville on the way somewhere else," according to Mesha P.
Park in town vs. remote: Consider whether you prefer in-town convenience or rural isolation. "This is a down home friendly place within minutes of anything you need in Stephenville, Texas," notes Bill B. about Green Deer RV Park, which offers both RV sites and cabins.
Walking trails: Some properties offer on-site exercise options. Green Deer RV Park has "a walking trail that's not quite a half a mile," according to Bill B., providing convenient recreation without leaving the property.
