One guest shared, "Hords Creek COE in Coleman, TX site is roomy with lots of shade trees with a lakefront view. The peace and quiet that we've experienced in this park is beyond words. Relaxation at its best!"
Recreational activities enhance these glamping experiences with numerous opportunities to enjoy the natural surroundings. Goodfellow AFB Recreation Area sits directly on Lake Nasworthy with boat rentals available during summer months and a small on-site store for conveniences. Fort Mason City Park's glamping area features a nature trail and abundant wildlife viewing, particularly deer that visit the campgrounds regularly in the evenings. Swimming areas, fishing docks, and boat ramps provide water recreation options at several locations, while hiking trails offer land-based exploration. A recent visitor mentioned, "This place is BIG. Very spacious campsites. There are deer roaming every morning and evening. Very interesting place with neat little town of Coleman about 10 minutes away has some good restaurants." Most glamping sites in this region operate year-round, though Flatrock Park is seasonal, operating from May through September.
"General: Approximately 140 sites (plus 12 cabins) spread out all around Hords Creek Lake in two areas: Lakeside Park and Flat Rock Park."
"Plenty of pavilions with lots of water and electric hookups. Lots of wildlife."
"I stayed two nights at this campground and found it to be really nice and located on Lake Nasworthy. During the summer months they rent boats and have a little store on site."
"The water and electric sites had no shade whatsoever. And the full hookups are first come first serve. So beware of you need or want to visit in the summer. I mean hades. Oh."
from $15 - $20 / night
Check Availability"The price was average for 30 amp hookups with wifi, cable tv, restrooms, shower and laundry. There is an onsite pool and game room, trash pickup, dog park, and the lake is a short drive away."
"It was super hot when we arrived and were pleased to find the crystal clear pool to cool off in. Doggies enjoyed the dog park. "
"So they have a lot of "agritourism" stuff around. There are two rings of RVs spots. They have full hookups and cost $30 a night. Free and amazing wifi. Laundry is 1.50 to wash and 1.50 to dry."
"The park itself is surrounded by baseball fields, golf course, football stadium, rodeo grounds. All convenient in one location. - Grass is always green, check it out, right on the edge of town."
"Otherwise it was a well maintained state park, clean bathrooms, flat sites, easy hook ups. Not much to do but some easy hikes and I believe fishing/boating."
"This RV campground is beautiful and away from any road or city sounds and light pollution. This would be 5 stars but there are very few full hookup spots with sewer."
"We stayed for three nights and the lake was beautiful, the swimming areas clean, the bathrooms tidy, and we had no neighbors."
"We enjoyed camping here, and loved finding gem places nearby. We did a hike that lead us to a wonderful water hole that we were able to jump in and swing off a tree into the water."
from $24 - $130 / night
Check Availability"We had electric, there was water available but we were winterized since leaving from CO. The water coming out of the hookup was initially rusty then just had a bad odor."
"If you cross the dry creek bed into the horse campground you can access the extensive network of hiking, biking, and horse riding trails. The trails are well marked."
Large park with site options. Back in, pull through and RV, cabins. Sites are large with great views. Plenty of pavilions with lots of water and electric hookups. Lots of wildlife.
Spent 1 night here, shared the loop with one other camper from WI. We had electric, there was water available but we were winterized since leaving from CO. The water coming out of the hookup was initially rusty then just had a bad odor. Don't know how long it had been idle. Water in the bathrooms was fine. The equestrian loop was just across the dry river bed. There was a Camping Cat walking thru with his dog and the owner! Bathroom was aged but fairly clean.
Pros: Sites spaced apart, nice trail system, reasonably priced cabins. Cons: Literally only four showers in the South unit of the park. Two for men, two for women in two different buildings. Very inadequate. Lake is a reminder of climate change and drought.
I am here in January, so it is not very crowded in spite of decent weather. There are deer everywhere at this campground. There is also a nice nature trail up the creek. My only complaint is the road through the campground serves the baseball fields so there has been a ton of traffic.
Hords Creek COE in Coleman, TX Site #75 50 amp Full hook up Pull through site April 12-16, 2024
The site was roomy with lots of shade trees. Our door faced the west & trees were not close enough to our RV to block out the evening sun. We did have a lakefront view, but the lake is WAY down.
This loop was full over the weekend, but sites are spaced just far enough apart that you can still enjoy the peace & quiet.
If I had a choice of any spot in the park, it would be #73.
Will definitely be back. — at Hords Creek Lake.
Hords Creek COE in Coleman, TX Site #73 50 amp Full hook up Pull through site March 2024
In the last 23 days, we’ve stayed in 6 parks, I have to say that this is my favorite park so far.
The site is roomy with lots of shade trees with a lakefront view (even though the lake is WAY down). Sites are not on top of each other.
There were a few people here when we arrived, but never heard a peep out of them.
The peace & quiet that we’ve experienced in this park is beyond words. Relaxation at its best!
When we come back, we’ll either get the same site, or #76. — at Hords Creek Lake- Lakeside Park.
Stayed here last summer on our way to Sedona, one night stop. Super friendly folks in the office, guided to spot following golf cart. It was super hot when we arrived and were pleased to find the crystal clear pool to cool off in. Doggies enjoyed the dog park. Camp store had a 50 to 30 amp converter we needed for later in the trip. Trail nearby and running up the hill gives you a great view of the surroundings. Would definitely stay there again if we happen to be passing through!
This place is BIG. Very spacious campsites. Wide open so if it’s windy you will feel it. There are deer roaming every morning and evening. Very interesting place but not much to do unless you are able to use the lake. There is a Walmart about a half hour away. Neat little town of Coleman about 10 minutes away has some good restaurants.
General: Approximately 140 sites (plus 12 cabins) spread out all around Hords Creek Lake in two areas: Lakeside Park and Flat Rock Park. According to the map, two of the four gatehouses are closed – not sure if this is a permanent closure (and don’t know if these campsites are also closed). There was no attendant at the gate when we arrived.
Site Quality: Paved/gravel driveways, some are pull-through, some have sewer hookups, and some have 50 amp electric. A bonus for us that we did not know when we reserved is that several sites have screened-in shelters with electricity and a generous-sized concrete picnic table. There are many trees throughout the campground and although we didn’t need the shade when we were there, I imagine it would be nice during the hot summer. There is also a fire ring but there was a strict fire ban when we were there (In fact, there was a large wildfire about 8 miles from the campground and we had been warned to stay ready to evacuate if the wind changed direction).
Bathhouse: There seem to be more than adequate bathhouses located throughout, however, the one closest to our site was small and somewhat inadequate: one shower, one sink, and two toilets. If the campground was completely full, this may pose a problem. There was no hot water, even in the shower and the shower door did not have a latch for privacy. Also, no hooks or shelves, or soap dispensers. Make sure you bring a towel if you do not want to use the air dryer.
Activities/Amenities: There are several boat ramps, fishing docks, and swimming areas at different points of the lake. There was a nice, covered playground in the Lakeside Park campground. It is a bit of a hike to the dumpsters.
This was an overnight stay for us as we continued to travel through Texas, but we appreciated some of the amenities offered at this campground
Camping areas near Eden, Texas span rugged Hill Country terrain at elevations between 1,600-2,200 feet. The region experiences hot summers with temperatures routinely exceeding 95°F and mild winters with occasional freezes. Several campgrounds provide yurt and cabin accommodations as alternatives to traditional tent camping, with most sites offering shade trees for protection from the intense summer sun.
Fishing opportunities: COE Hords Creek Lake Lakeside Park has fishing docks for anglers seeking bass and catfish. Water levels fluctuate seasonally. "Beautiful lake with a beach. Lovely trees everywhere around your sites. Gravel but mostly level," notes Jeff N.
Nature trails: Fort Mason City Park features walking paths through wooded areas with consistent wildlife sightings. "This section is in the far back of the park, closest to the nature trail. It's a large area to accommodate a lot of tents but there are only 3 electricity poles," explains Amie M.
Boating access: During peak season, Goodfellow AFB Recreation Area offers boat rentals directly on Lake Nasworthy. "During the summer months they rent boats and have a little store on site. I'll definitely go back when I'm passing through," shares Dennis S.
Spacious sites: Campers consistently mention the generous spacing between sites at Lakeside Park. "Very big well spaced lakeside sites. Wanted to add more days but the weekends book full. Plan ahead and book early," advises R B.
Wildlife viewing: Deer sightings occur regularly at Flatrock Park, especially during dawn and dusk hours. "This RV campground is beautiful and away from any road or city sounds and light pollution," reports Chris H.
Yurt camping options: For those interested in yurt camping near Eden, Texas, Fort Mason City Park offers comfortable options with electricity access. "Very nice host, very affordable, really enjoyed our short stay," says Carl M. regarding their yurt camping experience.
Reservation timing: COE Hords Creek Lake books quickly, particularly for weekend stays. "We stayed in loop 2 site 149. Very big well spaced lakeside sites. Wanted to add more days but the weekends book full. Plan ahead and book early," advises R B.
Seasonal considerations: Flatrock Park operates only from May through September, unlike other year-round facilities in the region. "This would be 5 stars but there are very few full hookup spots with sewer. Go to Recreation.gov to reserve your spot," suggests Chris H.
Bathroom facilities: Quality varies between campgrounds. Red Arroyo Campground has functional but aging facilities. "This place suffers from long term neglect. Peeling paint, broken trim. It's a beautiful place. Great views. Bison, long horn and tons of deer," reports Bruce.
Playground access: Fort Mason City Park offers two playground options for children. "There is a rundown playground in the main park and there is a newer playground in the middle of the baseball fields. We were here for a week with a 3 year old and we stayed mostly on the property," shares Amie M.
Safety lighting: Some campgrounds maintain nighttime lighting for security. "Security wise - there are streetlights on everywhere. I don't know if they are on all night so you won't have a true 'camping' experience of star gazing but you can peek out your tent if needed," notes Amie M.
Wildlife education: Children can observe deer at multiple locations. "This camp ground is quite in the middle of nowhere, but surprisingly cute. One thing that stunned us was the family of deers that seem to visit every evening! That was a lovely surprise for us!" says Andrea.
Hookup options: San Angelo KOA provides full-service sites with cable TV and wifi. "Well maintained full service park with plenty of amenities. More than we are used to. The price was average for 30 amp hookups with wifi, cable tv, restrooms, shower and laundry," reports George B.
Site selection: For optimal shade coverage, RVers should request specific sites. "Our door faced the west & trees were not close enough to our RV to block out the evening sun. We did have a lakefront view, but the lake is WAY down. If I had a choice of any spot in the park, it would be #73," advises Pam J.
Military access: Goodfellow AFB Recreation Area requires military credentials for entry. "We only stayed overnight but it was very pleasant. It's NOT located on base. Make sure to confirm location when you reserve. It's several miles away from base. Reservations and military required," cautions Wendie K.
