    Lake Palo Pinto RV Park

    lots of potential

    I came in on a Monday after making my online reservations for several days in early January. The office was closed midday, but I ran into a woman who said the camp host was deer hunting.. There were lots of empty sites so I pulled into one of several with a great view of the lake and power station. There was goose shit everywhere. Rain and snow was predicted. The ground looked solid, but certainly could use some more gravel and leveling. Eventually, I got an email that I should move to another site where it would be dryer. That site did not have the height clearance my rig needed so I stayed where I was, I stayed through the shit storm and left after a week. It was very quiet with very little traffic.

    Nice city park

    Very quiet park, with water and electric at every site. No dump station that we found. Cost was $15, and you have to drive back into town to city hall to pay. We were there in the winter, but the city park is very nice for such a small town.

    Première expérience avec notre RV. Excellent accueil de David. Un endroit paisible au bord du Lac. Accessibilité parfaite. Cormorans, canards, oies, hérons nous ont émerveillés. Les places au bord du Lac sont à privilégier pour bien profiter du lieu.

    Pretty!

    A cute little park with lots of picnic tables, a pier, and a huge field. The bathrooms were closed but they supplied a porta potty and the nearest gas station is only about two minutes away. Very connected to civilization and it was very well kept. Lots of people seemed to know about it, there were around 15 people who camped there last night and ten or so cars that came through for the fishing pier. If you’re a fisher, this is the place to be! The fish are active. The lake is gorgeous, but if you are car camping or tent camping, be wary about the fact that there will be little to no shade. Plenty of space for a big rig, and the whole thing is designed in a loop, so no backing out necessary! Plus all driving areas to and from the campsite, as well as in it, are paved.

    Fantastic Little Find

    I car camped here while passing through TX in a tent site, and I found the peninsula-like campground gorgeous! Lake views, deer, and a well-kept bathhouse just feet away. Spots are close together with few trees around, although few others were around.

    GOOD !!

    Midway Pines RV Park is indeed a gem! The peaceful atmosphere, beautiful surroundings, and well-maintained facilities make it an ideal spot for a relaxing getaway. I totally understand why you feel so comfortable there. Speaking of relaxing, if you're looking to pass the time while you're enjoying the serene vibes, I highly recommend checking out the Traffic Rider app. It's a fun and immersive way to experience motorbike riding through beautiful landscapes, just like the ones around the park! Give it a try during your next visit—it's the perfect way to unwind!

    Copperas Creek COE

    Copperas Creek COE in Comanche, TX (Lake Proctor) Site #63 50 amp Full hook up Back-in site March 2024

    Beautiful park! The lady working the gate should have her picture in the dictionary under customer service. Very pleasant & welcoming!

    The site has lots of shade trees with a view of the lake (not lakeside). Sites are not on top of each other, but no type of barrier between sites. Water had a terrible smell.

    Despite it being the beginning of spring break in Texas & the amount of people here, it is fairly quiet.

    If you’re camping with others, there are 3 double RV sites on this end of the park.

    Would definitely come back here again. — at Copperas Creek Park.

    Laid back

    If you like a laid back approach to camping, this place is it.  They advertise "farm fresh eggs" at the bait shop, and though we didn't partake, we know they were serious because of the chickens that were roaming the grounds.  One of them inspected the storage bay of my travel trailer while I was setting up!  We arrived about 4 p.m., and there was no one around to check in with, I think because of a family emergency of some sort.  So I just picked one of the open RV lots and backed in.  When I did check in later with Amy, she said "no problem" with the lot I picked.  Like I say, "laid back"!

    We screwed up and booked a different spot and our camper was too long. Oakdale was able to accommodate us on short notice. The staff was friendly and informative. Our kids had a great time in the expansive pool and enjoyed the snow cone stand across the street. The adult enjoyed the well-stocked pool bar!

    Spacious sites. Shade trees, small pond, fishing, dog park, friendly staff. They have a very nice pool and hot tub. The permanent residents are nice and it’s a great little community.

    Beautiful location and kind people

    I chose this place as a proposal location- she said yes! It was an amazing location that I enjoyed a 3 day stay at. There is black water disposal by the entrance with a hose, along with a dumpster on the road out. No water or electrical hook ups at the site but that wasn’t a worry as I brought batteries, solar, and my own water storage. I did notice the site nearby was utilizing a loud generator, so that noise was prevalent night and day throughout my stay. Other than the hum of a motor constantly mixing with beautiful nature sounds it was an incredible experience with amazing people and scenery. I would absolutely love to visit again very soon. I can’t say anything on the bathrooms, as those were shut down for the colder weather, but I brought a cassette toilet and there was no issues with that.

    I recommend this place to anyone wanting great views and kind people.

    Very Nice Small State Park

    There may not be a lot of trails, but they are very nice.  The sites are oddly level, even though they do not look like they would be. 

    Site 01 is a great spot, that feels about the most secluded.  

    Watch out for all the spider webs on the trails,  if you hike early in the morning...  We camped at Meridian State Park in a 28 foot Travel Trailer.
