    Secluded and quiet

    We had had a blowout on our rv and needed to stay the night instead of finishing our travel they answered the phone on a Sunday which surprised me (I had call around) The lady at the desk was so helpful and informed us about discounts my husband was missing because of his service (National Guard Vet) which has been so greatly appreciated! The spot was unleveled but that’s no big deal if you have leveling blocks. Very beautiful and quiet when we visited in early August. The man in charge when we left was very helpful and mingled a moment with my husband before we headed home nice people and clean establishment definitely will be going back

    Pretty Cool Spot for a Weekend Camping Trip

    We spent a weekend here with the in-laws, in site 51.  It had been raining a lot, so things were pretty muddy, but all in all it was a pretty nice park.

    Lots of trails to explore, and a few geocaches.  If you like boating or fishing, this park would be great for you.

    Site 51 was pretty secluded and level.

    Quiet and Shady

    The park is well taken care of. The sites are level and have plenty of shade covering. This is especially important if you are in a pop-up like us. If you are, you know what I mean. It was a quiet campground. Bathrooms were clean. The entry gate is coded after closing for some added security. Will return.

    Wonderful campground for families with children!!

    Beautiful camping grounds!! Took my 6 year old daughter for her first camping trip and she loved it. The horses came into our camp and she was mesmerized by their size and beauty. Most amazing experience. She caught her 1st bass in the pond as well. The entire property is simply beautiful and I'd strongly recommend Dads to bring their girls and boys out to enjoy this amazing display of nature and wildlife.

    Wow, Stinson RV Park sounds like a great place to relax and enjoy nature. I wonder if they have any amenities like a swimming pool or a playground for kids. Has anyone tried the nearby monkey mart for supplies?

    Great Place!

    Tented 2 nights. Spot A5. Spot was good. Right on the water. Could boat up if you wanted. Nice and shady, even good shade in the direct western sun. Beautiful sunsets! Hike right from camp.

    Reason for only 4 stars: toilet pits and bathhouse needs a little TLC. It’s time to clean up the shorelines. And the site ground could use some grass. Tax dollars don’t really help so don’t forget to DONATE!

    Sleep Under The Pecan Trees

    Wonderful overall experience

    Wild, yet docile horses will approach you. You can pet them and feed them by hand. Tall trees and gorgeous campsites. Donkeys hee-hawing, birds singing, and fire flies glowing. Scattered ponds throughout this 100 acre plot. Feel free to explore the nature or just chill at your campsite. Rick Parent, the friendly wolf-rescuing author and musician, will be your contact for your stay. He will have your spot mowed and ready before your arrival. He is kind, welcoming, and such a treat to visit with. There are minimal mosquitoes, so that was certainly a relief. You will be about 12 minutes away from the nearest Walmart, in case you forget some camping supplies. We had to go there to buy more carrots for the horses. (40 pounds of carrots). I highly recommend that everyone go check this place out! Share the energy of this beautiful land and always remember to pack out what you pack in.

    Good, however...

    So this is an ok place to spend a night or two. With Passport America, the price is right. The Tin Cup is a restaurant that's owned by the park and the food is great. The downside is that there's live music on Saturdays. It's loud enough to be annoying but not loud enough to enjoy. It was still playing after 10:30 pm. Not good when you need to get up early in the morning.

    Great State Park

    I stayed for four nights and really enjoyed it. The sites are large and fairly private. The restrooms could use some work but they do keep them clean. There are a lot of great hiking trails with wildlife including deer, coyotes, armadillos, and butterflies.

    Great Overnight

    Very friendly staff. Helped us get settled in a spacious pull through site on level, hard packed, crushed stone. Really nice area to walk the dogs!

    Nice Lake front Campround

    This is a nice campground with decently wooded sites. The site I sated had water, electric, a picnic table, a fire pit and a lantern post. There was a flat spot to set up my tent. The campground had decent star views and was a short walk to clean pit toilets. The showers were a short drive away and were also clean.

    Nice Lake Front Campground

    This is a nice campground on the shore of a small man made lake. The lake has a boat ramp and fishing pier. Some of the sites need minor repairs and the some disgusting person made a mess of the men's pit toilet but the a crew cleaned it in the morning.  The campground has decent views of the stars especially looking north. The site I chose was close to the lake and relatively level.

    Great Quiet Stop

    The road in isn’t bad but it’s pretty dippy in some spots so if you have a large vehicle take it slow.

    The directions take you to the Beach. Do not make the left turn. Camp spots are forward and to the right upon entry.

    The spots are nice and spaced.

    Only one other camper here when we arrived. They had tents. The spots are large enough to drive right into and it’s not to bumpy.

    No bathrooms and the trash cans are all upside down and screwed to polls. So there is trash EVERYWHERE! In the lake, on the shore, on the roadways.

    Other than the trash this place is absolutely breathtaking. We were on our way through so we only stayed for about 6 hours.

    I imagine it’s the hot spot during the summer.

    I would most definitely come back.

    Numerous Sites!

    This is a review of scouting the area. Numerous sites to choose from, some pull thru, some back in. Water, tables, and fire pits at every site. Although the sites are close together there is plenty of space to spread out depending on how busy it is. Heavily shaded. Not sure how effective solar charging would be during summer months. We first scouted it on a Thursday, nobody was there. Pulled thru again a few days later and there were a number of hunters there. Plenty of space for big rigs. Pit toilets on sites, no trash. Would have stayed here, but opted for West Lake Crockett down the road due to stronger cell signal.

    Nice Campsite on A Lake

    I choose a campsite on the lake with some shade. The Campsite was only about half full and was quite. Some sites have a fire ring and grill mine only had a grill but I made it work. Many of the sites have lots of shade. The restroom was clean.

    Gem!!!

    Located just off of Lake Crocket, this campground is the perfect stay. There are about 10 sites, all with lake views. Visiting in the fall season October/November, there was hardly anyone here. Tent campers cleared out by Sunday. Enjoyed a quiet week stay, with occasional drive by. Lots of fisherman on the lake, boat lunch visible on the east side of the lake. Each site has a fire ring, grill, and table. We kept the solar batteries fully charged all week. Sites on the outer side have great hammock trees. Surprisingly clean pit toilets, and water. No trash, pack it out! Full bars of 5G on T-Mobile, 300/35 mbps dl/ul. Perfect site for tents, vans, teardrop/pop-up/truck campers. First come, first serve - east pay on recreation.gov. Scan the QR code, half off with America the beautiful pass
