    Several RV parks surround the Lake Livingston and Lake Conroe areas near Dodge, Texas, providing excellent options for motorhome travelers. Thousand Trails Lake Conroe operates year-round with full hookup sites that include 50-amp service, making it suitable for larger rigs. On The Lake RV Resort in Onalaska features big-rig friendly sites with concrete pads and full hookups including cable TV. Rainbow's End RV Park in Livingston serves as headquarters for the Escapees RV Club and offers year-round camping with spacious sites for both short and long-term stays. "The sites are wide and have a picnic table on a concrete pad. Electric and water is separated, I hate it when water is on the electrical box!" notes one RV camper about the region's well-designed hookup configurations.

    Across the region, most RV parks maintain sanitary dump stations, though availability varies by location. Cell service is generally reliable, with AT&T providing 1-3 bars at most parks, while T-Mobile coverage can be spotty in more remote locations. Summer temperatures make air conditioning essential, so the prevalence of 50-amp service throughout the area is particularly valuable for larger motorhomes running multiple AC units. Pet-friendly policies are standard at nearly all RV parks, though leash requirements are strictly enforced. During peak seasons, especially holiday weekends, advance reservations become necessary as lakefront sites fill quickly. Many parks offer weekly and monthly rates for extended stays, with some providing discounts for Escapees members or seniors.

      Woodland Lakes RV Park

      Extremely Nice Park with Ducks!

      Extremely nice RV park with large spaces and gravel parking area. Spaces are wide and have a picnic table on a concrete pad. Electric and water is separated, I hate it when water is on the electrical box! Internet speed is really good and they have cable TV hookups. Two laundry facilities, multiple dumpsters, kids play area, dog run, and multiple fishing ponds. There are a lot of long term patrons but still a good number of back in and pull through spots available for short-term. If you need to be in the north Houston area, definitely highly recommended.

      Rainbow's End RV Park

      The Escapees HQ at Rainbows End

      If you are a full tie RVer you have probably heard of the Escapees. The Escapees is the largest mail forwarding service and the clyb caters to full time RVers. Livingston TX is their main Headquarters, they do have 2 other semi Headquarters in FL and SD. If you are a full timer you now you need a domicile address and a mailing address for many things, this is how we do it. They have over 17,000 subscribers to their mail forwarding service, we are one of them. We stopped by this July to get our domicile done, vehicle registration, drivers license, voter registration etc. It was hot we will not come back in July again.

      The campground is split into 2 main areas. They have a lot of deeded lots for you to buy which has houses, motor homes, park trailer or just roof for your RV. They have long term areas, overnighter, short long term, weekly or daily. You do not need to be a member of the Escapees to camp here, but we hear in the winter it does get full.

      Camping full hook ups, electric and water, or just dry camping. They have just got some new internet on the area we were camping in and it was good enough to stream. They have a pool, clb house, activity center, 2 laundries, meeting rooms and a lot to do even in the summer. Most site are fairly level most gravel but do have some concrete pads. If it wasn't so hot I am sure we would have enjoyed it even more. One nice thing is they have a care center, areas that you can set up your RV and if you have something wrong with you they will help you out, take you to Drs, provide meals, help you. This is nice for us older folks that we worry about what happens if we need long stay for treatments and we have no home base.

      Stagecoach RV Park

      Clean, well kept and friendly host.

      This is more like a mobile home park for RV’s than a camping experience. Each space is a pull through that has a picnic table and full hookups including sewer. Most sites have trees. Most spaces are occupied by long term tenants as evidenced by skirting around the rigs. Evidently several children live here as well. There is a dedicated area to take dogs so they can do their business.
      Quite a few speed bumps. No gates so anyone can enter/exit at will. Laundry room and bathrooms have locks. Bathrooms are clean and free hot water. Pool/hot tub were closed. I stayed 3 nights in April. It felt safe, so I’d stay here again. People said hello when walking and waved when they drove by.

      Worst thing was the number of speed bumps…useful but not really RV friendly. I’ve added photos, and although I copied them from another source, they are valid photos of what I saw and experienced.

      Rayford Crossing RV Resort

      Well Managed and Manicured

      We had to return our travel trailer to the dealership for some warranty work and wanted to have one last little getaway before handing it over. We opted to stay somewhere in the vicinity of the dealership, and this campground had an opening. So, we booked one of the last remaining sites and hit the road!

      Located in a suburban area north of Houston, the campground was very easy to find. It was nestled among nice suburban homes but still close to the amenities of a suburban city. We arrived after the employees left the front desk, so they instructed us to pick up our materials at the front office. We immediately noticed how well maintained this campground was. We easily found Site 21, a standard back in site. The sites are all concrete and level with a yard of grass and full hookups, which we really appreciate. We were surprised that our site didn’t have a picnic table like we thought, but we probably could have called to request one (wasn’t a huge issue in this July Texas heat).

      This campground is more like a residential area. We noticed that many vehicles were gone early on a weekday morning. Many of the “campers” had potted plants and other items that indicated they were long-term occupants. There were many rules for the campground such as no items allowed on the grass or under RVs and no trash cans at sites, but none of these were unreasonable. Staff was visible throughout the day, often maintaining the grounds and collecting trash at each site (trash collection is each morning). It was extremely quiet, clean, and manicured.

      Would we visit this campground again? Yes, if we plan to visit the Houston area for business in the future. We prefer the forest and the solitude that it affords, but this is a nice place to stay if you have business in the area. Rayford Crossing has amenities that may appeal to families with children such as a playground, beautiful pool, hot tub, shuffleboard, horse shoes, and fishing. The nice paved roads and sites and the dog park were nice as well. Our only complaints would be the price and lack of privacy, but I guess that’s to be expected in an RV resort near a major US city like Houston. Basically, it served our purpose.

      Rainbow's End RV Park

      Good Travel Stop

      This park is owned by Escapees RV Club.  We joined Escapees for the benefits, which include discounted camping.  We've stayed at this park several times, particularly when in the learning process for our new RV, as there is a lot of support here.  A lot of full time RV'ers use Rainbow's End as their home base, and a lot of full timers stop here for long periods of time while moving across country.  I always learn a lot from these long time full-timers.

      The sites are decent, with gravel driveways and full hookups for both 30 amp and 50 amp.  They have an area for dry camping as well. are not level, so be sure to bring your leveling blocks if your rig does't have a leveling system.  

      There are a couple of bath houses and laundry facilities.  The bathing areas are kept clean and are spacious, but nothing fancy.  There is a swimming pool which is open in summer, but we've never used it.  They also have a weighing station, although I never used it.  Propane delivery is available once a week.  Sign up in the office if you want to get on the schedule.

      Lake Livingston State Park Campground

      One of Our Favorites

      We arrived 151 days after making our on-line reservations for the very busy Memorial Day weekend in Piney Shore Loop campground. This was our fourth camping adventure at Lake Livingston State Park in the Piney Shore Loop. 

      Pros EXTREMELY quiet during the Memorial Day weekend. Even tho not backed up to 

      lake, nice view of lake from Site#55. Double concrete pad as it is an accessible campsite. Very level concrete pad; no need to do any type of leveling. Nice early morning shade onto Site#55 Very good privacy from neighbor Site#54 and Site behind#48 Park ranger drive-thru about every four hours Restroom/showers good working condition, clean, ample hand soap and toilet paper. Recently paved park roads very nice upgrade Mosquitoes were drawn to those who strung lots of lights throughout their site, so many did not use those lights which resulted in good dark conditions for night sky viewing. 1-2 bars AT&T cell service. Lowes, Walmart and small HEB close by n the town of Livingston Cons. Campers requiring mobility assistance may find this campsite very challenging, even tho it does have a double wide concrete pad. Site#55 labeled as accessible but is very accessible unfriendly as it is not close to campground toilet shower facilities, fire ring is up a gravel hill on driver side of camper. Piney Shore Loop sewer hook up required 20 feet of stinky slinky. No privacy from Site#56. No privacy from the campground road. Picnic table in mud hole nearly the size of the table and very unleveled with one end higher than the other end. Unable to move picnic table as it is chained to concrete pylon. Picnic table not wheelchair accessible. No afternoon-to-evening shade what-so-ever. Site#56 campers permitted their dog to run without a leash. No park WIFI

      Ratcliff Lake Recreation Area

      Nice wooded campground

      Pretty campground. Tall pine trees. Camped with our camper van along the loblolly loop. Not suitable for large rigs in this section. Level tent pads. Sites have access to the lake. Loved the tall trees. Restroom/shower rooms were very clean. See previous reviews about this. Paved roads & driveways in this section. No water & electric hookups in this section, but available in another section of the campground. Water spigot nearby for drinking water. Busy Hwy 7 is nearby; road noise from big rigs can get loud sometimes. AT&T cell/data service okay. No T-Mobile cell/data service. Would like to camp here again & explore some of the hiking trails.

      Lake Livingston State Park Campground

      FHU Lakefront Sites

      We love this state park and it's one of our favorites! This was our third time camping here in the Piney Shores Loop. We arrived on Memorial Day for four nights with reservations made 54 days prior. We weren’t loving Piney Shores#52 back-in campsite much due to: Steep drop-off of the concert pad and the narrow roadway making backing in challenging, but not impossible for our 27ft trailer.  Any larger rigs might not be able to swing it.

      The dirt area around the picnic table, fire pit and lantern pole was a huge MUD hole! What a mess due to daily rains. 

      No concrete pad under the picnic table, so your feet were in the MUD hole! HINT– Park Maintenance needs to apply some medium size gravel around the table and fire pit. 

      Picnic table (chained to the ground) and fire pit were right next to each other. WHO DESIGNS THESES CAMPSITES?? 

      Power interruptions, albeit short. Very glad we had our power surge protector. 

      We loved: 

      Very level concrete pad requiring no additional leveling efforts. 

      Huge campsite along the lakefront with access to launch kayak/canoe or even swim(which we didn’t). 

      Gorgeous sunsets over the lake. It was wonderful to sit at the fire facing the lake and watch the sunsets. 

      The squirrels that ate from our fingertips! It was also really amusing to find the squirrels VERY friendly. They just hoped up onto our laps and took peanuts in the shell from our fingertips! 

      Super quiet as only 6 full hook up campsites were occupied due to COVID operating restrictions.


    Guide to Dodge

    The Lake Livingston and Lake Conroe regions near Dodge, Texas offer numerous RV campgrounds with varying amenities and access to water recreation. This part of East Texas experiences hot summers with temperatures regularly exceeding 90°F between June and September, making waterfront camping particularly desirable. Winter temperatures typically range from 40-65°F, extending the camping season year-round at most facilities.

    What to do

    Fishing opportunities: Lake Livingston is known for excellent fishing, particularly for white bass, catfish, and crappie. On The Lake RV Resort provides direct lake access with a dedicated fishing area. "We had a blast staying here!" notes one camper about the lake's recreational opportunities.

    Water activities: Several campgrounds offer boat ramps and swimming areas for cooling off during hot months. Venice On The Lake provides "Free WiFi, Gazebo, Picnic Area, Children's Playground, Fishing Area, Boat Ramp, Swimming Pool" according to their amenities list.

    Evening entertainment: After a day outdoors, some campgrounds offer social gatherings. Triple-B RV Park features "a small beach and pavilion area which is perfect for small get togethers" with amenities like "corn hole and kayaks to borrow" from the owners.

    What campers like

    Concrete pads: Many RVers appreciate the stability of hard surfaces for parking. Thousand Trails Lake Conroe earns praise for its "Concrete pads, full hookups, well-maintained grounds" with one camper noting it's "Definitely one of the more premium experiences we have had as TT members."

    On-site dining options: Some parks feature food service, saving campers from cooking every meal. On The Lake RV Resort's restaurant receives positive reviews with one camper mentioning "The on-site restaurant had good cocktails and great food."

    Winter camping comfort: The region's mild winters make it suitable for off-season visits. One camper at On The Lake RV Resort shared, "We went during the winter (November, right before Thanksgiving), so didn't do any of the swimming/water activities" but still enjoyed their stay with "gorgeous lake views with sunsets for dayyyys!"

    What you should know

    Variable wifi access: Internet connectivity varies significantly between parks. At Thousand Trails Lake Conroe, "I booked this site because it shows wifi as an amenity. However, the wifi is a pay-by-the-day only offer," reports one camper.

    Seasonal water levels: Lake access can change throughout the year. One Venice On The Lake visitor warned about the swimming area: "Hardly a lake! More like a swamp which my dog couldn't swim in hence the reason I booked a lake campground."

    Ownership changes: Some RV campgrounds in the region have undergone recent management transitions. Rock'n E RV Park has new owners who "did change the name to 'Made in the Shade'" according to a visitor who added, "We loved socializing with the owners & locals and others staying at the park."

    Tips for camping with families

    Kid-friendly amenities: Look for parks with dedicated play areas and activities. Thousand Trails Lake Conroe is described as a "Gorgeous campground with a large lake and two ponds, a pool, putt putt, & tons of activities for kids!"

    Space considerations: Family groups often need room to spread out. Rainbow's End RV Park offers spacious sites with one camper noting, "The sites are decent, with gravel driveways and full hookups for both 30 amp and 50 amp."

    Swimming options: Pools provide safer swimming alternatives to lakes for children. Venice On The Lake offers a swimming pool, though one visitor mentioned "Pool closed at 8pm as I was walking up which was long before it got dark."

    Tips from RVers

    Site selection strategies: At larger campgrounds, understanding how site assignment works helps secure preferred locations. At Thousand Trails Lake Conroe, "you cannot reserve a specific site. You drive around and pick a site, then call and let them know which one you're in."

    Noise considerations: Location within the park affects the camping experience. One visitor at Thousand Trails noted, "We were looking for a quiet, private site and there are very few of those... There were vehicles constantly driving up and down the road in front of our site."

    Insect preparation: Be ready for local pests in this subtropical region. A Venice On The Lake camper warned about "red ants everywhere (toes are so swollen this morning full of bites)."
