1. Constantino Farms
Be the first to review!•18 Photos•5 SavesThe campsite is fenced in our front pasture with water and composting toilet available. It is located under a large tree. Our front pasture houses our goats, cows, donkeys and chickens. We have two seasonal creeks that run thru the property and about 9 acres of woods to explore. Because we have no ambient lighting our farm is a great place to stargaze.

Be the first to review!•5 SavesCome to Moon Ranch on Chalk Mountain, 10 minutes from historic Glen Rose, TX, and make camp in this neatly secluded cedar and elm treed area. The four camps are located on 10.5 acres of land, so feel free to stretch out and relax. Bring a hammock; no problem finding two trees close enough!! Walk out to the three acre clearing at night and view the beautiful night sky with almost no light pollution, or camp in our scenic open camping area. On a clear night the milky way is incredible! Our location is five minutes to Fossil Rim Wildlife Center, Ten Minutes to Dinosaur Valley State Park(both require reservations), 15 Minutes to Big Rocks(free shallow river access and boulders to climb on). Open field for stargazing. Close to Paluxy River, Brazos River, Glen Rose shops, boutiques, eateries in town and on the square. We have a mixture of private campsites secluded in the cedar trees, perfect for a romantic getaway; or larger campsites that can easily accommodate families. Absolutely LGBTQ friendly!

Lake Brownwood State Park
Fantastic Little Find
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
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.

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.

Hike up to Mount Blanca from the property!
Ashley here with The Dyrt. Happy to welcome your host, James. This property is gorgeous and offers Pine Trees to help with shade. My favorite feature is the public access trail right from the property up to Mount Blanca which is at 14,300 ft and is the 4th largest mountains in Colorado! Book your stay and leave them some love.

Green Deer RV Park
Big Rig Friendly
This is a down home friendly place within minutes of anything you need in Stephenville, Texas. It has two full bathrooms complete with showers, work out room, washer and dryers and an area for meetings. An outside area under a huge pecan tree with small tables and chairs for hanging out with friends. There is a walking trail that’s not quite a half a mile. Two huge dog areas with lots of grass. The owners are super friendly and will respond to your needs.

Regency Bridge Park
nice spot, nice owners, nice bathroom!
the place is cute! I have no cell service with ATT, but there’s wifi so that’s fine! if it’s busy, campsites are relatively close together, but there are lots of little areas to get privacy. there’s a single bathroom with a code to get in. it has a nice shower, a space heater, and two sinks. if you’ve been camping, it’s a great respite from roughing it. it’s just next to the colorado river, with a nice view of the regency bridge. $20 for primitive camping. recommend!

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.

Great Overnight Stay
Three hours north of San Antonio via 281. If you haven't experienced 35 through Central Texas it's not as glamorous as you think.
The campground is clean, quiet, with spacing closer to state parks than commercial slide to side set ups.

Site water hookup below ground
Campsite had unusual amount of trash and cigarette butts
Campfire ring full of ash and trash upon arrival and there has been a county burn ban for the last 6 months
Campground toilet/shower facility lit up at night like a Christmas tree
County Burn ban, which we discovered ourselves and confirmed by calling park prior to arriving with campfire wood
Upon check-in, friendly woman at gate told us one thing then a man at the gate contradicted the woman regarding charcoal fires
Quiet hours not enforced. 4 toilets for 24 campsites for possible 8 people per campsite PLUS boaters and fishermen. Phew!
Half of park closed during winter so 37 campsites only open April-September
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

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.

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.

State Park review
Lake 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.
George B.GuideSan 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.

Nice Little Stop
We booked this in route to Austin for an overnight stay. It’s a nice little park. You pull in to the sites right off the road. It’s easily accessible and easy to leave. The bathrooms were clear. It’s next to a nice city park.

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.

Gorgeous CCC Cabins & Nice Campground
The 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.
