    Possum Kingdom State Park Campground

    Not a true campsite

    If you want to really camp , and not in a 50 footer , this is not a place to do it . Maybe the sites behind the lake would be better . We have camped across the country with a 12 footer teardrop 3 times . . This is my least favorite campsite ! Pads are broken up almost to the point of dangerous. Walked around in flip flops and had tar balls attach to my feet.

    North D&D - Brazos River Public Use Area #4

    Love it here

    This was a very clean and safe spot to stop for the night! The link to get directions on the app took us to. Random off road place but we continued on and found this gem just beware that the link doesn’t take you directly to location. But otherwise perfect! So beautiful

    Lake Brownwood State Park Campground

    Texas state park built by CCC

    Site 69 not level(68 looked better). Both are on green space facing the lake(large grassy area that comprises the beach). Showers old but but great hot water. Flush toilets, walking trail along lake, cabins also near lake. Pretty buggy(gnats/flies--did not see mosquitos). VERY quiet(we were also the only campers in this area).

    Hubbard Creek Public Recreation area

    Quiet, remote, breezy by the water.

    Great, quiet, remote location. Stopped here for a couple nights on my way from visiting family in Dallas to camping down in Big Bend NP. Dry camping / boondocking over a weekend / Sat/Sun nights. A few locals having a beer at sunset on Sat night, and a few families and fisherman enjoying the area on Sun - but otherwise had the place all to myself. Windy & whitecaps in the AM, still & hot in the afternoon.

    BRA#1 Possum Kingdom Lake

    Dispersed Tent Grass Sites

    We thought this was ok for RV's, but there are only 1 or 2 places to park overnight, but you can tent on the grass in many places. There are other free areas on the lake that you can park RV's for free. These are public use lands right on the lake where you can stay overnight for free.

    Possum Kingdom State Park Campground

    Great park, though some sites are a little narrow

    Beautiful park, staff were extremely welcoming and friendly. Lots of activities (there was a Scorpion hunt our first night - where they meet and use a black light to seek out the little monsters - but my son informed me that was a hard pass. All the same, a cool activity that I would have enjoyed had I been alone (or with less of a fuddy duddy).

    Only complaint is the width of the campsite. I don’t know that all were as narrow as ours, but site 20 is a really tight squeeze. Went off the side a couple of times trying to get in. With that narrow width, I was forced to park in overflow parking because with the length of my rig I wasn’t able to fit both truck and trailer on concrete and remain out of the road.

    Nice trails for hiking and the Canadian Geese were a true gem for me - something nice about waking up to hear them in the morning (sounds odd, but I found it relaxing. Besides, the are absolutely gorgeous.

    Trails are well maintained and very nice, we mostly did the Lakeview Trail, but it was a great hike, not too strenuous but with great views of the lake.
