Best Dog-Friendly Camping near Easton, TX

Clean. Sites are close together. Two great dog parks.

We stayed here for one night on our cross country trip.  It was clean, well maintained, nice layout and landscaping, great dog park, and friendly service.  We had a level pull through with full service with no need to disconnect. Walmart right down the street for replenishing the goods.  Great stop over.

We came here for a quick over night stay. Right off interstate by gas stations and food. We were in a pull through spot, which was level, but barely long enough for our truck and 30 ft camper. Full hookups (bring extra long electric cord!), picnic table, showers, cable, dog park, and extra parking area noted. No fires allowed. With Good Sam our spot was 34.00 which was quite reasonable.

The facilities were great. Clean and well kept. The site that we stayed at (#34) was too close to the main road and the noise from the cars was so loud, which led to an awful nights sleep. Also there was a cat (seemed like a camp cat) that roamed around all night and that freaked out my dog. The lake itself was fantastic and otherworldly. Absolutely beautiful in early November. Definitely gonna visit again but will not camp here.

Our big group went camping here and rented some shelters. We went on a boat tour and it was just gorgeous. We also went to a petting zoo. The campsites are good and in lots of trees. Will definitely go back, especially to kayak!

Woodpecker Hollow toilet/shower facility needs some deep cleaning 

11 windows in Woodpecker Hollow women’s toilet/shower and only 4 were open. Camp host said rest of windows were painted shut.  Floors were continuously wet and slippery. What a mess! This place needs a fan or two.

My family visited with my mother in law and my sister in law and her family. The managers acted like it was going to be a crazy busy weekend over Memorial Day. There’s 8 RVs here, and even the swimming hole has room for everyone, and then some.

The site is situated with a spring that opens up to swim in. The water is unnaturally blue, and truly looks dyed. It’s ice cold, though! Back in the woods where the water is running, it’s crystal clear and beautiful. The best part is the deer that will walk right up to you that you can hand feed. The flies are horrendous, and so are the ants. The bathhouse is exceptionally clean and very comfortable. We enjoyed utilizing this feature. Management is different. We’ve been micromanaged to death during our stay. We’ve been asked dozens of time what we’re doing, what are plans are, how long we’re staying etc…. We were even asked to help catch a cat that’s running around with a double eye infection, and possibly a case of mange. We affectionately refer to it as zombie cat. It’s very sweet, just needs some veterinary care.

Cell phone service here is almost non existent. We have sprint service and have one bar, if we are outside in certain areas. Would not recommend staying here if you work remotely.

Otherwise, it’s very quiet and peaceful. Very clean. White rock parking areas for pads, full hookups.

The title sums it up! Nice hiking trials. Privacy if that’s your thing, it is for us and our three dogs. However, there is an awesome pavilion, swim dock, picnic area and paddle boat area. Something for everyone.

Dog poop, small litter around every campsite, gnats, grackles and flies are relentless(the gnats are so bad and so think you literally can't open doors without getting invaded, water is dirty, lazy river is so slow you have to paddle around it to move, locals are allowed in when they want extra money and its like Caddyshack Caddy-day in the pool, locals with their beat-up vehicles, dogs, and tatted cousin/wives invade the place, employees and their families use the pool regularly, food is terrible, everything is super expensive, sites are concrete but Not Level, prices on things change constantly with their"specials" so you may pay$80 for a Cabana that changes to half-price at their whim but they don't offer a refund for future days rented, pool furniture cracked and stained, dead animal left on grass for entire week, charged$140 for 2 toddlers(grandkids) that came for 2 days. You know a place is bad if their Refund Policy is NO REFUNDS AT ANY TIME FOR ANY REASON. They clearcut the entire property and its like a airport runway. Oh yeah, and they leave these high-intensity streetlights on 24x7. FINAL WARNING, DO NOT GO TO THIS PLACE. IT'S AWFUL.

Had to come for a appointment and stayed a couple days. It's more of a park for workers in the area and a few that looks like they live here. It's a one row park, large gravel sites with a small concrete pad, some grass. No picnic tables or fire ring's. No office that I saw, never could get in touch with the manager or owners, sent a few messages and got no response. WiFi is pretty good though. I'm a little worried about getting out due to the tight turn leaving the park, I have a 40 camper and a 4 door long bed dually, large trees right at the turn onto the county road. It is pretty quiet mostly, couple dogs barking once in a while when people leave their dogs in the gates they have around their "yard" area. Looks like residents not campers. There is a laundry room with a pool table that says it's open 24 hours a day but it was locked and nobody was around to open it.. so if you just need a place to stay it works, if you're looking to go somewhere nice to camp, I wouldn't. Sites are close to being level and campground is on a slight hill, couldn't ride bicycles or anything like that.

This park is easily in our Top 3 in the Texas State Parks system. It's a small park, but a little slice of heaven. Towering pine trees grow right up to the waters' edge. So peaceful. Donna, my wife, will often sit and gaze over the water. 

The park is neat and tidy, and the bathrooms have always been clean. There are several picnic tables by the lake, a swim out platform, kayaks, paddleboats, a fishing pier, and a few swings on the playground. We typically visit during the week, so it's always been pretty quiet. And if you need supplies, there's a Brookshire's grocery nearby(only a few miles away). One trip, we decided to fish and grabbed bait from the Ace Hardware in town. 

We love laying in our hammocks, watching the pines sway, and listening to the birds sing. In the warmer months, we swim and splash around the floating platform. And with a fire pit at every site, s'mores are a given each night(so long as there's no burn ban). 

There's a short trail that circles the lake(about 2.5 miles). We do it EVERY trip. It's a beautiful and easy hike. Take a picnic and make your way to the CCC picnic area on the lake's other side. There will be a spot where you can enjoy your lunch, looking back across the water.(But don't let your dog grab your PB&J when you're not looking or you'll be hungry on the way back.)
