"Very nice RV Campground with large dog park, laundry, and cleaned showers and toilets. Easy drive to see the Johnson Space Center."
"They were very accommodating when I called and gave us an easy spot up front because we were arriving after 8pm. Level spot, no fuss. Quiet night. Only downside were the mosquitos. Bring repellant!"
ScoutThe campsites have a lot of space & are surrounded by woods. The concrete sites are level and offset from the next site (one on one side of loop, next site on other side of loop), which allows for more space & privacy (stayed in #006). I had full hookups (water, electric & sewer) at $25/night (Disabled Vet rate). It was very peaceful & quiet, except for some work that needed to be done nearby.
ScoutBethy Creek is an amazing resort and camp sight! We love going out here and spending the weekends. Have been going for the last 10 years and we plan on bringing our kids here as they get older.
GuideI'd never heard of the Trinity River Authority before. It's not a name that jumps out when one thinks of camping. But in Texas, perhaps it should be. The private company built dams and reservoirs all over the state and funds their operations through water sales and permit use.
Lake Livingston is one such project, the 3rd largest lake in Texas and the largest one constructed for drinking water. The company is clearly very serious about maintaining beautiful and professionally run grounds. The sites are generally well-monitored, spaced nicely, and situated with great water views if you choose one in that area (see my map photo). The park does not allow day use in camping areas nor day entry at all on weekends, keeping the entire park reserved for paid RV guests.
I grew up around Lake Grapevine, another TRA project though I didn't know it as a kid. But I've never woken up to find a sunrise over a lake right outside my bedroom window. That's pretty special.
Like another reviewer mentioned, I did see a dog running loose and investigating people's campgrounds.
If you're in Texas and want peace, quiet, total darkness (there are no lights of any kind in the camping area), and lower temps than Houston, come check out Wolf Creek Park.
ScoutIt's a beautiful park..lots to do. I just wish it was closer to the city of Houston. Otherwise it has great amenities pretty spacious spots no real complaints here.
RangerPark is decent but roads are not the best shape. Bathrooms are sketchy but doable. Expect people to be driving around park and launching boats well into the night. Dogs are not kept on leash like the rules say and some just roam at will. No fire rings and no covered tables. The Marina restaurant has very good hamburgers and a laundromat. Lots of places to fish from the shore.
GuideGood facilities and amenities for adults and kids. Friendly and helpful staff.
ScoutExcellent campground. Clean, manicured, on Lake Livingston. Site 50 is the best in the park.
RangerVery well kept facilities, nice, level sites. Very family friendly environment - I think because they do not allow day visitors on weekends. Everyone I encountered with the park were nothing but professional and super friendly. Trash pickup from the curb was an added bonus. Can’t wait to go back!
ScoutWe were looking for a spot for 2 nights with full hookups and on the water, very pleased with spot 63, has a deck. The owner was very helpful, he helped me get my sway bars back on! If you stay here check out Tallent Sausage Meat market that’s next to the closest gas stations. We didn’t use any of the on-site bathrooms but the owner said they’re in the process of renovating them.
