Best Glamping near Eastland, TX

Lake Brownwood State Park and Possum Kingdom State Park offer upscale glamping accommodations within driving distance of Eastland, Texas. Both parks feature air-conditioned cabins with lakefront views, providing a perfect blend of outdoor immersion and modern comfort. The glamping cabins include electricity, comfortable beds, and picnic tables, with easy access to clean shower facilities. "The remarkable area of this park lies not in its campground loop. Take a walk along the lakeshore trail and see the cabins constructed by the CCC and you'll be transported back in time," noted one visitor about Lake Brownwood's historic stone structures. Lost Creek RV Park in Stephenville also offers glamping options with full hookups in a beautifully maintained setting, described by guests as "super clean and really well manicured."

Hiking trails wind through both state parks, with Lake Brownwood's Nopales Ridge Trail and Possum Kingdom's Lakeview Trail offering scenic views for glamping guests. Water activities dominate the experience at these lakeside glamping destinations, with fishing piers, boat rentals, and swimming areas available. According to a camper, "We spent most of the time swimming and fishing from shore. This is one of the clearer lakes in Texas." Wildlife viewing opportunities abound, with guests reporting deer sightings and excellent birdwatching, particularly wild turkeys near the primitive sites. Lake Brownwood's CCC-built dance hall provides a unique historic attraction, while Possum Kingdom offers guided nighttime scorpion hunts using black lights. Both parks maintain clean facilities with hot showers, though visitors should pack insect repellent as one reviewer warned, "Black ants rule the park. Plan accordingly."

    Lake Brownwood State Park Campground

    Great place for camping and fishing

    1. Take plenty of water, Insect repellent, and sunscreen with you if you decided to bike the Nopales Ridge Trail in the middle of June. Note that there are several areas along the trail where you may need to carry your bike.
    2. There are air conditioned cabins available, many with lakeviews.
    3. There are at least two floating piers (with lights!) and one wooden fishing pier (with lights!).
    4. The park has many trees and is beautifully maintained.
    5. The public facilities (restrooms, showers, picnic areas) were clean and usable. Toilets flushed, TP was available, there was cold AND hot water, overhead lights worked, mirrors above sinks were usable
    6. It is well worth the time to visit the beautiful and elegant CCC Lodge.
    7. Black ants rule the park. Plan accordingly.

    Lake Brownwood State Park Campground

    Gorgeous CCC Cabins & Nice Campground

    The remarkable area of this park lies not in it's campground loop. The loop is pretty, lovely even, and it looks like a lot of other campgrounds on a beautiful lake. But take a walk along the lakeshore trail and see the cabins, dance hall, and steps constructed by the CCC and you'll be transported back in time. In 8.5 years on the road, I've never been more tempted to go inside than by these simple, lovely, stone structures.  Just a bed, small kitchen, table, and a bathroom complete with vintage rustic decor, and that's all you'll think you ever need.  So adorable!

    But this is a campground review so let's get back to it. The campground seems like the perfect bustling summertime holiday vacation spot. It's set up more like a city park with lots of open space and grass, than individual sites carved out of the woods. Walking around during winter, you can imagine the families gathering at the water, renting stand-up paddle boards, playing volleyball, or chasing a frisbee into the water. It has a reputation for being a place where families gather year after year, and I can see why. There are electrical/water sites as well as tent only sites right by the water, which really have the best location in the park. The bathroom is a little dated, but functional and clean with hot showers. 

    Brownwood is within a 20 minute drive and has all the services of a modern suburban city. There are several trails throughout the park, but getting out on the water seems to be the focus of this park.

    Possum Kingdom State Park Campground

    Great campground on the lake

    We so enjoyed our stay here! Right on the water and the campgrounds are spaced out enough that you are not right on top of each other. There is a convenience store on site that has most anything you need. There is also a Men’s and Women’s bathrooms with two shower stalls (in the women’s at least) - but no family bathroom setup. Everything was pretty basic, as you would expect at a state park.

    Copperas Creek at Proctor Lake

    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.

    Lake Brownwood State Park Campground

    Lake Brownwood State Park + Swimming + Boating + Fishing

    I would rate this park 3.5 out of 5 stars. The park has a variety of facilities which earns it a 4 star rating. But the quality of the facilities only earns it a 3 star rating. So it averages out to 3.5 in my opinion.

    Lake Brownwood State Park is pretty much located in the center of Texas. However, it is a bit of a drive from many of the major cities like Houston, San Antonio, Austin and Dallas. It is fairly convenient to reach from Abilene and San Angelo. If you need to pick up camping supplies there are grocery stores and sporting good stores in the nearby town of Brownwood.

    The main attraction of the park is that it is situated on the shores of Lake Brownwood. There are ample opportunities to take advantage of lakeside activities like swimming, boating and fishing. There are a variety of camping options with tent sites, cabana sites and RV sites. At most of the sites there are nice oak trees that provide shade and can support a hammock. Note that Texas State Parks require 2 inch suspension straps when hanging a hammock. There are boat ramps, fishing piers and a loop hiking trail. The hiking trail is a loop trail, fairly level, but I would say moderately interesting. The real attraction of this park is the lake.

    Some of the facilities such as the restrooms and the cabanas are a bit dated and could benefit from an update. The staff was very friendly when I visited. And the other campers were respectful.

    I would like to say that I visited the park during a weekday when the park had few visitors. However, I've heard that on the weekend the park fills up quickly and can be quite busy.

    Possum Kingdom State Park Campground

    1st road-trip!

    This park was definitely out in the middle of nowhere, with a long peaceful drive full of wildlife. We made it to the park entrance, check in was quick. We arrived on a week day and they ranger informed us the camp store was closed until weekend and no firewood. Closest store with firewood was 30min away. They lake was beautiful. We were right beside the restroom and shower facilities which was great! We came to stay for one night, we had a roof top tent so the site we had was nice and would make a perfect side for a RV but for us it could’ve been wider for our ladder but we were close to the restroom which we wanted. The restrooms were clean, could use a little update, and water was warm but not hot. Lots of wildlife around! I would stay again but I don’t think it’s the best place to go for a winter camping trip. Thank you Texas state parks!

    Possum Kingdom State Park Campground

    Chaparrel camp site #112

     First impression- 112 is located perfectly right across from the bathrooms, and has a semi “easy to access” water’s edge. Not ideal for kayak releasing, but there was a small cubby hole in the rock where the water comes in that we discovered once the other half arrived. 
     Only about a 35-45 minute drive to Hells Gate, which seems to be a hot spot for parties. Boats all tied together, bands playing, beer drinking, good time spot. That was where we met Carol, who allowed us to access her property to unload the kayaks, and proceeded to have an incredible time, being the only two people on kayaks in a multi million dollar neighborhood. 
     Stopped at Boondocks Bar and Grill, and met the lady responsible for the pea salad... an unsung hero of the culinary world. 
     Once back at the campsite, we had the privilege of meeting the state representative/ rule enforcer that happened to be on duty that night. He gave us a lesson on how to properly consume alcohol while on the campsite, even though no one was being harmed by the methods chosen to do so before he arrived. 
     Someone from the group thought it would be a good idea to leave out the chips and queso, previously ordered at Boondock’s, for the raccoons. It would have been adorable to be able to feed them by hand, the chips, that we had learned they absolutely loved, not too long before. Once they arrived, we would surprise them from out of nowhere, and shower them with love and affection, in hopes they would take to us as family, and allow us to hand feed them. We were very surprised to find, not only were they not raccoons, they were skunks, but also, skunks also enjoy the salty taste of a tortilla chip or two as well. I regret to inform you, that we were not able to hand feed them like we hoped, but all in all, the skunks were an exciting addition to the adventure. 
     Overall, I would say it was a trip that was
    

    better than expected, in a very peaceful environment.

    Possum Kingdom State Park Campground

    Great Experience

    We arrived around midnight. There was a warm breeze blowing. Big ants strolled nearby but are easily avoidable. The place is right on a lake. The restroom is close by. It was a great experience! Would stay again. We did not see any possums but did see a large female dear grazing.
