  Rusk Depot Campground

  Family trip

  First & foremost, This park is not well-maintained, and the camping sites are right off of the highway. The splash pad does not work, and the bath house was terribly dirty and freaked of sewage. The group sites are basically a big parking lot- zero grass space between site numbers, although there is shared grass areas along the rows. We moved site numbers within the group sites so that our kids would not be playing right beside the highway (there is a gate, however it’s still concerning), and to slightly distance ourselves from the traffic noise. Beware there is also a large wedding venue directly across the highway & our kids were woken to the sounds of fireworks at night on the weekend. There were large fire ant mounds all along the concrete, and we had to purchase fire ant killer ourselves, as well as deal with some broken glass & the trash can for our site that wasn’t emptied before our stay. I spoke with the staff member working in the office and all she could say was “i will let management know.”

  As far as the good: we had 6 kids and 4 adults staying, so despite the concerns and annoyances, we still were able to relax enough and enjoy our break from the daily grind. The kids played outside all day- making walking sticks, fishing a lot, catching bugs (spotted some really neat moths, too), and making up games.

  The best: the nearly-daily trains coming right through the campground for various reasons (loading new cars or taking passengers on a local trip). My son is an avid train-lover and this was the main reason we booked our stay here.

  Rusk Depot Campground

  Full hookups in the pine trees

  Took a chance on this campground because many reviews on various websites  were bad and many were old...Used to be a TX state park but was "decommissioned" evidently. It is not the most maintained campground, but it is a small loop with pull-in sites w/ full hookups. The bathroom didnt seem maintained much, but we have a camper, so don't have need for the bathrooms. The texas state RR train engine car came through one time in the afternoon to turn around to pull the train back to palestine...that's pretty unique and a cool thing at a campsite IMO.

  our group loved this place--albeit a very different experience if you are used to well-maintained KOAs etc, but for those that are self contained and just want to hang out/camp, it's a cool place. Had a nice walk around the historic train depot and the little pond behind it. we camped in october and It was very "fall vibes" with all the super tall pine trees and we thought it was a hidden gem and appropriately priced for what you get (ie: it's not priced like a KOA, so don't expect similar amenities--but there are good things about that too--it's not packed with people!!). Not sure I'd make a super long destination out of it if you're  too far away, but We will be back since it's close to camp here!

  Wolf Creek Park

  Lake Livingston Gem

  This Park is on the edge of being a 5 STAR park... 

  PROS 

  Senior Discount 

  Check-in at the gate without leaving vehicle NO street lights in A3 campground, so good dark sky viewing(when neighbors don’t have a dozen campsite lights illuminating 3-4 campsites) 

  Very very quiet Sunday thru Wednesday 

  Site 62 backs up to Lake Livingston so excellent view of lake and easy accessibility from lakefront campsites 

  Site 62 12 ft wide concrete parking pad level 

  Moveable wooden and metal picnic table on concrete pad 

  Metal fire ring(no cooking grate) 

  Pedestal BBQ grill Campsite utility hook-ups in good condition with no problems encountered 

  Trash pickup at each campsite 3 times daily 

  Pristine grounds 

  Very clean toilet/shower facility; it took 3 men 2 hours in a Monday to clean one facility, but no cleaning Tuesday or Wednesday or Thursday(didn’t even pick up the trash)! 

  Constable manning gate after normal gate hours 

  Roped off lake swimming area 

  Small playground near swimming area 

  CONS 

  Paid$3.50 reservation fee for completing 100% on-line reservation 

  On Day#2 of our stay, a neighbor camper came to us to inform us that the park manager just stopped by his site(we were at our site and saw him) to let him know there was a burn ban established for the next 7 days and that he need to spread the word to other campers. Two days later we saw a small burn ban sign posted at the toilet/shower facility. Communicating this crucial information needs improved. Perhaps posting signs throughout the park, especially at the entrance. 

  Trip hazard on the picnic table concrete where someone cut the chains that held the table in place 

  Numerous dogs roaming…no leash and no human 

  Absolutely no privacy from any other campsite as there is no vegetation between campsites 

  No evening trash pickup so have to store trash created by evening cooking 

  Gate was not closed overnight 

  Camp store and water craft rental closed Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday 

  No wildlife sightings 

  No park WIFI 

  No camp hosts 

  3 bars TMOBILE in A3 campground with no problems live-streaming with TMOBILE hotspot device

  Great spot for the kiddos!

  Super nice staff and full saturday breakfast (eggs/bacon/pancakes/coffee etc--extra fee, but very reasonable!)

  Pool, jump pad, playground, trike rentals, Rock/gem mining slough, movies/events, etc.

  Sites are level pull-through sites and most have a clear view of the playground, which gives the kids a sense of freedom.  They have cabins and cool teepees as well, but have only ever camped in RV here.

  Have been camping here in the summers and both Easter & Halloween weekends and they do easter egg/candy hunts and have other events for the kids/kids at heart.

  We love coming here and the staff are always very kind to us. (photos on this review are during the halloween event--we decorated our campsite lol)

  Nice spots with friendly people

  The camping spots were easy to set up in with access to water and electricity. The only downside was that the camping spot we were in was really close to the other sites so you'll have very little privacy. The camp store was run by friendly helpful people and the facilities were clean. Just be aware that during October there is a group that camps there yearly that can get quite loud.

  The Best I’ve seen

  This is a beautiful campground. We are at spot #24, but it’s looks like every site is awesome. They have a little store on site. The project is clean and well maintained. We will definitely come back.

  Great bunch of people

  This campground really has no outside noise from anywhere. It is wonderfully quiet. The office and other working staff are very friendly and informative about things to do in the area. The wifi is strong, and the sites are level. we will definitely be back to stay in the area again on our trips through.

  Clean, Well Maintained with excellent restrooms

  This campground is probably one of the best in the area. It's clean, well maintained with excellent restrooms that are well lit and spotless. The boat launch is in great condition with plenty of parking. The camp store is well stocked and operated by the nicest of people. Slushes and Pickles all day! You've got all the amenities for RVs, lots of picnic tables and the campsites are well spaced out with fire pits electricity including 30 amp along with water. Lake Livingston is great for fishing and they have a designated safe swim area. Overall this is a very safe, very clean and family-oriented campground. Highly Recommend.

  Great camp!

  The sites themselves are as described on their website. Even the smallest site had plenty of room for a family to enjoy the outdoors with out feeling cramped.

  Rusk Depot Campground

  Quaint Wooded Poorly Maintained Campground

  This is an X-Texas State Park that really needs some overdue TLC.

  After making reservations over the phone 163 days prior to arriving and prepaying the entire amount, we were told at check-in there was no record of our reservation. Once we got through that confusion we were had to ask for directions to the campground. No map provided. Even with a reservation campsite are selected once you arrive and drive through the campsite. FHU loop roadway was difficult to maneuver due to the roadway being covered with pine needles which blended it into the non-roadway. We saw most people driving thru campsites thinking it was the road as the FHU loop were mostly pull-thru sites. Limited sites for RVs longer than 30 feet. Most sites were designed for 20 feet or smaller. Not a slide-out friendly campground as most sites were very compact. Minimal vegetation between sites. At our site the wooden picnic table was partially rotted. Parking pad broken up by roots so very uneven surface. The firepit ring was mostly rusted away and was completely filled with ash so our fire was on the pi ash. Sulphuric smelling water. Highway noise. On our last night, the 30 amp breaker kept tripping without a full load. Happened twice within an hour so we scaled back our amp use under 20 just to have some heat during the night. Campground WiFi was probably one of the best we’ve experienced.

  Highway noise even in our campsite the furthest from the highway.  Of course, lots of train whistles during depot operations.

  Can’t wait to go back!

  Edit: We came back for Labor Day and it wasn’t to crowded! We tried the swimming area for the first time and we absolutely loved it. It’s perfect for the kiddos and not to deep, no matter how far you go out.

  Had a blast here! Very kid friendly despite the playground being closed, the people who helped us were all very friendly. Water is shallow but once you get out of the little cove that the boat ramp is in, it’s smooth sailing. The sights are also very nice. Would definitely recommend to friends and we can’t wait to go back!

  We’ve stayed here quite a few times. Love the lakefront sites. Clean bathrooms and showers. This park is closed to the general public on weekends, so even if it is filled with campers, things are usually pretty calm and quiet.

  Wonderful setting and very clean. One of our favorites

  If you want to enjoy a wonderful lake front getaway this is the park for you. Some spots are right on the water and the atmosphere is wonderful. They have a guarded gate and cute store in the park. The bathroom/showers are very clean and well kept. Do not worry about the month you decide to go, as there are plenty of trees. Also features a playground and designated swimming area. Fun!
