      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.

      Quiet and serene

      Camped here on a weekday in November and we pretty much had it all to ourselves. Clean facilities with toilets and showers. Deer roamed free and the lake was peaceful with a small dock for boating and fishing. Enjoyed it here.

      Off-season boondock paradise

      One week stay during the first week of December D&D south. Weather: highs in the 60s, lows in the 40s. Covered picnic tables, grills, fire pits, trash cans at most sites. Restrooms spaced throughout the park. Massive trail system throughout the area. Excellent service for school/remote work. Ideal for tents, vans, truck campers, and small trailers. No cost during May-September. No water or dump in the parks, but there are showers. There are sites directly on the water and up in the hills. Would return!

      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.

      5 Public Use Camping Areas for free

      Tent camping areas in all 5 with shelters, grill, and picnic tables, many waterside. Public Area 4 and 6 have RV pads (which they do charge $10 to use in the Summer) with shelters, grill, and picnic tables, and many are waterside. Public Area 5 has grass pull thru RV parking. All 5 have bathroom facilities with running water and flush toilets. We parked at #5, also known as Bug Beach and we had the place to ourselves, with the exception of a herd of deer late afternoon. Beautiful scenery and exceptionally clean campground facilities.

      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.

      Stayed her for three weeks. It really is a nice spot for being free, but because the locals don't pick up their trash, it may not be available because of it. There is new manager taking over, and according to the one worker I talked with, I am not sure how much longer this will be available for us nomads.

      This place was a pleasant surprise. Not a soul here at 5pm. Shade spots, or on grass. Picnic tables and trash bins, swimming area and a boat launch. Bit of washboard on the road, but nothing drastic. Probably busy in summer but a great stop for us in late January.

      This is a down home friendly place within minutes of anything you need in Stephenville, Texas. It has two full bathrooms complete with showers, work out room, washer and dryers and an area for meetings. An outside area under a huge pecan tree with small tables and chairs for hanging out with friends. There is a walking trail that’s not quite a half a mile. Two huge dog areas with lots of grass. The owners are super friendly and will respond to your needs.

      Okay for day use

      I’ve been here many times. They used to have a pool here years ago. Now they have a very small water park called splashville, which is great for families with children. They do have a several amenities such as tennis courts, playgrounds, an amphitheater, pavilions, baseball diamonds, basketball courts, a paved walking trail, disc golf etc. I’ve camped here a couple times because I didn’t have anywhere else to go, but I wouldn’t really recommend it for camping/hiking/sightseeing, etc. The Bosque River runs through it but it’s no good for swimming because it’s nasty. There’s often lots of trash. Not really a pretty park by any means.
