    Overview

    Stillhouse Park is a day use area that has two reservable group pavilions along the shore of Stillhouse Hollow Lake in central Texas. With activities such as picnicking, swimming, basketball and fishing, the park is popular for family gatherings and other large group events. Stillhouse Hollow Lake was created by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers with the construction of Stillhouse Hollow Dam in 1968. The 6,430-acre lake is located 16 miles upstream of the confluence of the Lampasas and Leon Rivers, which flow into the Little River.

    Recreation

    With 58 miles of shoreline, Stillhouse Hollow Lake is an often uncrowded haven for boaters and fishermen. Those who do not have motor boats, canoes or kayaks can rent them nearby. A variety of land-based activities are also offered, such as volleyball, basketball and horseshoes. Birding is a favorite pastime for many visitors. Hawks, great blue herons, ducks, geese, many species of songbirds, bobwhite quail, Rio Grande turkey and even an occasional bald eagle visit the lake area, yielding year-round opportunities for bird sightings.

    Facilities

    The lake's only marina and fuel dock are located within the park. There are two reservable group pavilions, Island View and Tear Drop, which can each hold up to 120 visitors. There are also nearly 40 individual picnic sites around the beach area, as well as a swimming beach popular with families.

    Natural Features

    Aside from the park and two nearby campgrounds, very little of the lakeshore is developed. It has rocky beaches and sandy bluffs along the edges, and much of it is forested. Stillhouse Park has grassy, open areas interspersed with trees. The lake has noticeably clear and deep water inhabited by largemouth bass, smallmouth bass and channel catfish. A man-made wetland was constructed on the south shore of the lake, providing an additional 10 acres of wildlife habitat in the lake area.

    Nearby Attractions

    The nearby Village of Salado offers golf, art galleries and shopping, among other activities. Chalk Ridge Falls Environmental Learning Center is below the Stillhouse Hollow Lake Dam. The center has about five miles of hiking trails, including a one-mile nature trail along the Lampasas River, a spring-fed creek, a waterfall, bridges and several wildlife viewing points. Stillhouse Hollow Lake is located near the Fort Hood Army Base, which has several points of interest for the military buff.

        Views for Days

        Was absolutely stunning, it’s on a cliff top so your “backyard” is a small trail to a gorgeous overlook of the lake and adjacent cliffs. I didn’t expect to be given this view. The campsite itself is also fairly shaded and there are some cacti but it’s the best spot I’ve stayed at while being there!

        It was a fun time. Site 100 was away from everyone and it was nice and quiet. I enjoyed my time here as a first time travel trailer person. It was nice. I didn’t use the bathrooms there and I didn’t see the showers but I’d go back.

        Also called McLennan County Park

        It threw me off when I saw the name difference, but yes, McLennan County Park is the same place as Tradinghouse. I saw on a website that camping wasn't allowed, but this is said it is. I called the McLennan County Sheriff and they said, "Yeah, people camp there all the time." So that's awesome. Free to camp, too, and now I have a place to stay to ping pong between here and Whitney every 14 days.

        Another interesting aspect of the Dinosaur Game is its cultural impact. It has become a recognizable symbol of internet downtime, often referenced in memes and social media posts. This cultural relevance has helped to cement its status as a beloved part of the internet landscape.

        Very Nice Park Next to Interstate 35

        This is a very nice park that is located next to Interstate 35, so expect some highway noise. That doesn't bother us, and we had a lovely stay. Emily came quickly to meet us near the office after we called the number on the sign. She had us wait while she drove around to make sure we had a nicely shaded site with temperatures expected to be around 100°. Emily then guided us to the site and helped line up our RV for utilities and slide clearances. She was very friendly stayed to chat and make recommendations on things to do and places to eat. The park is well-kept and the sites all looked to have plenty of shade. Still, we were able to use our Starlink dish on the ground behind Site 138 with no drop-outs. Water pressure was good but a little lower one morning when the irrigation system was running. We will happily stay here again the next time we come through Waco!

        We stayed at north Crest during a summer heat wave,   The well kept grounds provided natural shade to keep our camper cool.  The hosts were extremely helpful and gave us a quick call when they discovered we forgot some important equipment.  The bathhouse is amazing with two full baths in total privacy.  Can be used a family baths.

        Peaceful and Comfortable

        Taylor Park was a great place to see the 2024 Solar Eclipse, right in the path of totality. The sites were very well maintained and adequately spaced so as to offer some privacy even though there was very little bush coverage between the sites. The bathrooms and showers were in need of updating and a couple of the toilets were overflowing while the others needed the handle held down to do a complete flush. The trail was not correctly mapped and there was no museum as indicated on the trail map. Our stay was peaceful and comfortable.

        Cedar Breaks Park

        Beautiful spot on Lake

        The park is on Lake Georgetown which is beautiful. Lots the f mature trees. Campsites have some decent separation. Sites have covered structure with picnic table. Also have fire pit and barbecue. Some spots have direct view of lake. Bathrooms are ok but only reason I do not give higher review.
