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.

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.
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

The park 3 dumpsters were overflowing; 1 was over flowing upon our Thursday afternoon arrival and the other 2 were overflowing Sunday morning so we had to pack out our trash

Eat at Granny Clark’s in Dublin TX. Blue plate special and buffet. Brookshires Grocery and Tractor Supply in Comanche Stephenville 30 miles from campground has Walmart, H‑E‑B, CVS, Walgreens, but no Lowes or Home Depot.
ScoutGreat place to camp. Very clean and has everything you need to camp. Great staff, very kind.
GuideFirst time here. All hookups worked. Friendly staff.
RangerNice RV sites and CCC built cabins on a relatively low traffic lake. There are many stone works from the CCC including benches and tables at some sites. We stayed in the Comanche trails loop which is part RV sites and part tent sites. I really liked it, compared to the other 2 RV loops we saw. There are some medium length hiking trails with lots of deer, feral hogs, snakes, skunks, raccoons, armadillo and more to see. The lake has a nice grassy shaded swimming area. We saw plenty of people fishing. Overall a very nice park that I'd visit again.
GuideLake Brownwood area is full of trees, nice lake for boating, fishing and jet skis. The state park sits on a pretty cove of the lake. Sites 50,51 offer privacy and are close the bathroom/showers....not too close. You can see the water, but aren’t lakefront. Typical state park amenities. Sites have fire ring and picnic tables.
Sites 57-65 are right on the water, but are packed in side by side. We loved site 50.
GuideGreen grass, well spaced concrete pads, and large pecan trees right along the San Saba river. There are full hookups and cable tv. The office is confusing and is down at the golf course office. (Avoid parking in the spaces up against the river and under the pecan trees. A couple of large branches fell on and next to us causing us to move the first night.
LegendThe remarkable area of this park lies not in it's campground loop. The loop is pretty, lovely even, and it looks like a lot of other campgrounds on a beautiful lake. But take a walk along the lakeshore trail and see the cabins, dance hall, and steps constructed by the CCC and you'll be transported back in time. In 8.5 years on the road, I've never been more tempted to go inside than by these simple, lovely, stone structures. Just a bed, small kitchen, table, and a bathroom complete with vintage rustic decor, and that's all you'll think you ever need. So adorable!
But this is a campground review so let's get back to it. The campground seems like the perfect bustling summertime holiday vacation spot. It's set up more like a city park with lots of open space and grass, than individual sites carved out of the woods. Walking around during winter, you can imagine the families gathering at the water, renting stand-up paddle boards, playing volleyball, or chasing a frisbee into the water. It has a reputation for being a place where families gather year after year, and I can see why. There are electrical/water sites as well as tent only sites right by the water, which really have the best location in the park. The bathroom is a little dated, but functional and clean with hot showers.
Brownwood is within a 20 minute drive and has all the services of a modern suburban city. There are several trails throughout the park, but getting out on the water seems to be the focus of this park.
ScoutWe have been renting cabins here for years. Each cabin is rustic and unique. There are tons of easy trails and shore access. It has great fishing areas, bridges, and stone structures to explore as well.

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. Has hook ups and a water house.
LegendLake Brownwood State Park. We had a great time over here, not the biggest park but still very enjoyable we rode our bikes a lot there are a 3 miles bicycles, trail plus a hiking trail, and a few small trails around the park. The RV sites are not very private but still, it was a good time, because of the rain the previous nights we were able to do a fire finally. It seems like a good place for fishing there were plenty of people doing that also.
RangerNice RV Park with friendly staff. Last minute reservations made and they were very nice.
ScoutThis is a great place to stop and see the sights in the area. I had a reservation and asked to come in one day early. They said fine. Have a wide level concrete pad with full hookups. There is some cable tv cable there but we didn’t hook it up. You can have a choice of shade under large pecan trees or wide open sites. Mngmt is very accommodating. Only reason I did not give a 5 star is because on the route into the park there is a large pecan tree that dragged across the top of my rv. The branches were not big ones. I followed gps directions in here which got me here but were not the absolute best way in. Turn off of hwy 190 onto cr 104 will save you from crossing a very uneven railroad track crossing. We turned off of hwy 190 into cr 102. We are staying in a 43’ class A RV. I highly recommend this place. It is in a beautiful golf course. Cost was $30/ night.
ScoutNice campgrounds. Very neat and clean. Showers & Laundry available. Nicely maintained RV spots and cabins. Good WiFi! Highly recommend
LegendI would rate this park 3.5 out of 5 stars. The park has a variety of facilities which earns it a 4 star rating. But the quality of the facilities only earns it a 3 star rating. So it averages out to 3.5 in my opinion.
Lake Brownwood State Park is pretty much located in the center of Texas. However, it is a bit of a drive from many of the major cities like Houston, San Antonio, Austin and Dallas. It is fairly convenient to reach from Abilene and San Angelo. If you need to pick up camping supplies there are grocery stores and sporting good stores in the nearby town of Brownwood.
The main attraction of the park is that it is situated on the shores of Lake Brownwood. There are ample opportunities to take advantage of lakeside activities like swimming, boating and fishing. There are a variety of camping options with tent sites, cabana sites and RV sites. At most of the sites there are nice oak trees that provide shade and can support a hammock. Note that Texas State Parks require 2 inch suspension straps when hanging a hammock. There are boat ramps, fishing piers and a loop hiking trail. The hiking trail is a loop trail, fairly level, but I would say moderately interesting. The real attraction of this park is the lake.
Some of the facilities such as the restrooms and the cabanas are a bit dated and could benefit from an update. The staff was very friendly when I visited. And the other campers were respectful.
I would like to say that I visited the park during a weekday when the park had few visitors. However, I've heard that on the weekend the park fills up quickly and can be quite busy.
GuideWe loved our stay at Copperas Creek, so quiet and peaceful. During the week we were one of two trailers in our area. Fishing is great off the nearby fishing dock and a lot of people came with boats. Sites 11-14 are in the shade and right on the water! The park rangers are wonderful and so kind and helpful. Downtown Comanche nearby has some neat places to stop(sorrells farm, stone eagle beer garden, Brennan vineyards, soda shop, & farmers market) Dublin nearby has Dublin bottling works, Lucky Vines Vineyard & Veldhuizen Cheese. Absolutely NO Verizon but three bars AT&T. We were in Site 30!
GuideThis park is a gem. Located on the shores of Lake Brownwood. It’s a civilian conservation Corp park and has many wonderful pavilions and guest halls and guest houses for rent. Fishing, boating, hiking. Something for everyone!
TravelerEnjoyed our time at Lake Brownwood SP! Stayed at Campsite 50. It was close to the restrooms, but it was a private site. Hiked the Lakeside Trail and the lake was perfect for our kayaks!
Scoutvery nice place. great place for fishing swimming camping and boating. super nice personnel. very nice and clean showers and restrooms.
