  Hoof Prints Ranch

  Awesome rv park

  Good rv park if you have horses or if you are just wanting to stop with your rv in Stephenville on the way somewhere else. Not really a place I would stay at just for the experience itself. Very clean. Not many amenities to speak of. There’s really not a lot to say about this place other than it has rv spots and cabin rental. It appears it is for sale right now so if you staying in the future I would recommend calling to confirm all info is correct.

  Copperas Creek at Proctor Lake

  Copperas Creek COE

  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.

  Wheatheart RV Park

  RV Park near construction

  Most of the RVs at big busses or fifth wheelers. They have all the amenities like WiFi and hookups. They do not have daily parking but they have weekly ($80) and monthly ($320). It’s just another RV Park for people that live on their big RVs in the middle of a nice little town.

  Lost Creek RV Park

  Super clean and really well manicured

  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.

  San Saba River RV Park

  Decent For an RV 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.

  Off The Vine RV Park

  It was OK

  If you are planning a visit to Hico Texas to check out the historic downtown, buy some great pop-corn and visit the Billy The Kid Meusieum then you might need a place to stay. this park is a very affordable RV park. the claim to fame is the vintage RVs that you can rent for a night or 2.

  The park hosts were very friendly and helpful the whole time we were there.

  The RV sites are all full connnections pull through sites that are very, very tight. At the time of my visit there were no public restrooms or showers.

  My Mother-in-Law spent two nights in "The Dude" a 27ft Airstream. her primary complaints... not much of a shower, no way to cook a meal, got locked in on the first night and had to rescued by the management. 

  My biggest issue is that the sites are just so close together.

  I have videos of all of the vintage RVs on my YouTube...DudeRV.com

  Vw's Spot

  Nice spot

  Not too busy and pretty quiet. 30 and 50 amp pull through and back in RV spots. Water and sewage hookups. Can be windy here, be careful with your awnings. No firepits or firewood available. Purple goat restaurant to eat at. Closest grocery about 5 miles.

  4C's Rodeo Ranch & RV Park

  Equine paradise

  Lovely park. Beautiful location and property surrounded by oak trees with an abundance of horses, cattle, a few donkeys and one goat. If you have horses this is the place for you if you are transiting through North Central Texas. Nice sites with full hookups. Pastoral setting. Smells like sweet country air. Sites all appear level and are quite long, I assume for those who are hauling their horses. We were just hauling our dogs but this was still an enjoyable stop. Full laundry facilities and Wi-Fi. Close to Dinosaur Valley SP.

  Buena Vista Wildlife Safari and RV Park

  Safari & RV Park in Central Texas

  Found this place while browsing for somewhere to escape for the weekend during the COVID lockdown. Location is a couple years old and really nice. Full hookups and great free WiFi service. All the RV and camping amenities, very clean and well maintained. The drive through safari is an extra $15 per car and worth it. Highly recommend this place.

  San Saba River RV Park

  Great stop

  This 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.

  Sowell Creek at Proctor Lake

  Big Rig Friendly EXCEPT Site 2

  This park is so quiet and relaxing. Sites 1-7 are full hookups and BRF except site 2 (low hanging tree). We were in site 6 and it was perfect. The park is very big with a swimming beach and fishing pier. There are stickers for you dog owners so beware in some areas. Rode our bikes five miles inside the park roads. We will be back.

  San Saba River RV Park

  Nice Quiet Campground

  Green 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.

  Copperas Creek at Proctor Lake

  Peaceful Stay!

  We 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!

  Lake Brownwood State Park Campground

  Really nice state park campground

  Nice 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.

  Epic beach camping

  Wow, such an amazing camping experience! We boondocked with our 36ft motorhome right on the beach.

  $12 to get in and stay as much as you’d like. Busy on weekends but very quiet during the week.

  They allow driving on the beach here from access #5 and north of it. Watch the tides, best to get in & out when the tides are low. Some areas had very soft sand. We got stuck coming in but were able to get our using our leveling jacks and shoving things under the tires but on the way out we got barrier way deeper and needed assistance getting out using a truck that pulled us with towing straps.

  Good for tents, or small rigs or medium size rigs that are prepared for an adventure... not for newbies!

  We spent 5 amazing nights here on the beach, and can’t really beat camping right on the sand, with the sound of the waves and lots of sunshine.

  Great pull through sites

  Wonderful evening site with pull through sites next to river and park. We pulled in with our 25 ft trailer at 830 pm and had no problem. We hooked electric and were good for nigh. Bath house with shower was great. The park was a delight! One mile path around with nice playground for children. Rooster and cats in park.

  Hico City Park

  It Was Great then but now.....

  I spent one night here two years ago and loved it! VEry quiet, few campers and an easy walk into downtown Hico. Last week end, 11-07-2020 we passed through Hico and drove through the park and I was dismayed to see that all of the RV sites were occupied by permenant residents with solid connections to sewer and water. There was an accumulation of "stuff" around each trailer. So very sad.

  Edwin King Atwood Park

  The beach camping destination with something for every level of camper.

  Beach camping on South Padre Island (NOT to be confused with camping in one of the several campgrounds and resorts located ON South Padre Island) is free/fee camping (depending on time of year) available and unrestricted on the gulf side of the island, from Beach Access #5 and Beach Access #6, to any point north. There are about 24 miles of beach from Beach Access #6 to the northern terminus of the island at the Port Mansfield Channel (aka East Cut or North Jetties). This is a popular fishing destination. Depending on the recent weather and the beach condition, usually the first 3-5 miles of the beach are accessible by 2 wheel drive, trailers, campers, etc. North of that, the sand is less packed and generally requires 4x4 to access. In the days after hurricane Harvey I was actually able to drive all 24 miles in 2 wheel drive because the storm surge had leveled and packed down the beach, but that is extremely rare. Count on needing 4x4 if planning to camp north of the first few miles. Why go that far? During the on-season especially, and many weekends in the off-season, there are many people at the beach also camping, barbecueing, etc, and for the camper that enjoys a more secluded and wild experience, going just a few miles north gets you away from the crowds, and you can find your own stretch of beach to set up and enjoy nature.

  Do not confuse South Padre Island with the Padre Island National Seashore - South Beach. Padre Island National Seashore is only accessible from Corpus Cristi, and has no direct access from South Padre Island because of the Port Mansfield Channel.

  In addition to the normal stuff, always take a shovel and extra water. I have started taking traction boards, I have never had reason to use them myself, but every time I go I end up helping someone who is stuck, and since I have started carrying traction boards I rarely have to use my recovery strap.

  It’s not hard to keep from getting stuck though - air down your tires, don’t stop moving when you start to bog down, know the limits of your vehicle, and try to stay on packed sand. DO NOT drive up on the dunes. This is illegal, even if you see others doing it. Also be aware of and watch for sea turtles and their nests, and report any you see and the closest mile marker.

  Don’t forget to air back up to normal tire pressure once you’re back on the road or at the first service station in town just south.

  Bugs come out in force for a short period as the sun sets if the breeze dies down in the summer, but this usually only lasts for about 30-45 minutes until the night breeze picks up from the gulf and sends them back into hiding. Depending on the time of year, it can get VERY windy at the island, especially there at the north end, so check conditions before you go.

  Wildlife I have seen camping out there: Dolphins, Seabirds, Crabs (especially fun to find at night with a flashlight), Nilgai (an Asian Antelope that now lives wild in south Texas), Sting Rays, and Sea Turtles. I have seen the tracks of Coyotes, Jack Rabbits, Snakes, mice, and Lizards. There have also been sightings of Foxes, Deer, and very rarely, Bobcat. It’s very safe, but as mentioned above, keep your pets with you. This is common sense when camping anyway.

  Campfires and bonfires are allowed, but you must pack in and out your own wood. Make sure to dig a hole, be aware of the wind, and most importantly, make sure the coals are completely put out with water and any logs are removed from the hole before completely covering the area back up when you’re done. Hot coals buried under sand remain hot for hours, and can significantly burn someone that steps on the spot later. Additionally logs left under the surface are a hazard to other vehicles.

  When the fee booth is open, it is $12 entry, and they give you a trash bag. If you bring back the trash bag with trash and receipt before 7pm, they refund you $2. This is irrelevant if staying overnight, since they don’t redeem for prior days. Military and Veterans are $6 to enter with ID. In the off season the fee booth is closed and access is free.

  There are (outdoor beach style) showers and restrooms at Beach Access #5, at the newly built E.K. Atwood Park, and a large dumpster at both exits. No hookups or dump sites though, until you get back to the city of South Padre Island.

  If you drive all the way north to the Channel, there is a trail that turns left and crosses the dunes, following the channel most of the way west across the island before entering restricted Laguna Atascosa NWA land (vehicle traffic is barred, and fines are heavy) and the track disappears beyond that in tidal flats. This area is more specifically what is referred to as the east cut, and while there is an awesome hidden camping site that is second to none, access is tricky, and it is VERY remote. These tidal flats have been the end of many trips, and are known as the 4x4 graveyard. They appear dry on the surface, and have thick watery silt and mud underneath. Once you’re stuck, water begins to fill in from the surrounding ground and it’s extremely difficult to self recover. Cell signal from a few miles north of the access is spotty or non-existent as well. Tow trucks do service even this far north, but the bill is usually $600-$1000+. Not worth it. If you’re going to go, be sure to be traveling in a group of more than one 4x4 high clearance vehicle, and the skills and equipment to self-recover. Stay on the path, and don’t trust how dry the ground make look off the path (except for the area immediately next to the Jetties, where you will want to camp).

  That’s a book, but hopefully it’s enough to get started. Have fun and embrace the wild of it (take a portable toilet) and if you’re like me, you’ll become addicted and go back every chance you get for the opportunity to wake up to the sound of the waves, seabirds, and feeling of sand in your toes.

  Keep in mind normal primitive camping rules, pack in and pack out everything, and leave the beach looking nicer than when you arrived, and we will continue to have this resource for years to come.

  Hico City Park

  Pull through and back-in spots

  This place has pull through and back in spots and there is a map at the entrance showing which are which. There was no public restroom or shower here but there are hookups. There is a really nice playground here. This would be a good place if your just looking for a place to sleep for the night but there is very little room between spaces. Not the worst place but definitely not the nicest.

  Edwin King Atwood Park

  Awesome Beach Camping

  This is one of my favorite places to camp in South Texas. Cameron County recently made this into Edwin King Atwood Cameron County Park. The site is just a few miles north of the convention center on the northern end of South Padre Island. They have a controlled gate at the access #5 gate and charge a $10 fee. Before you drive onto the beach they have bathrooms and a picnic facilities at this entrance. You can camp anywhere north of this entrance. We like to camp here in the off-season during the week to avoid the busy periods. We have a 4x4 which can come in handy for the soft sand areas. You can access with a truck or higher clearance passenger vehicle. This is dispersed camping without designated sites. They provide trash barrels but no other amenities. We like this setup and appreciate the freedom of camping at this type of site. You will need to pack everything in to this site and bring your water, food, and toilet. You camp along the beautiful seashore next to tall sand dunes with incredible views up and down the beach. They have been making efforts to pickup trash on the beach which has been an issue in the past. You can drive for miles down the beach which eventually ends at a jetty. Beach drivers should monitor tide levels and check the NOAA tide tables. We have been trapped after dark once with rising tides. The sun and wind can be unforgiving along this beach. So you need to time your visit and have the right equipment to protect against the elements. The Laguna Madre is just to the west. This is great for kayaking, kite surfing, fishing, and bird watching.

  Lake Brownwood State Park Campground

  Lake Brownwood State Park + Swimming + Boating + Fishing

  I 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.

  Great primitive beach camping

  South Padre Island Beach has approximately 60 miles of primitive beach camping. This area can be accessed from Beach Access #5 and Beach Access #6 and you can camp anywhere north. During the on season access by vehicle is $12 to enter, regardless of the length of stay, though camping cannot exceed 14 days. Offseason is free (from autumn until spring break). During the off season north of access 6 is recommended 4x4 only. Fires, pets, and fishing are allowed, but keep in mind several miles of beach have a road on the other wide of the dunes so keep an eye on pets and children. There are also no amenities and it is recommended to be aware of tides and weather conditions as it can get quite windy on the beach.
