    Bald Eagle Creek

    Spacious sites in San Angelo State Park

    We stayed over Thanksgiving and the campground was less than half full. The sites in the Bald Eagle loop are spacious, many have covered picnic tables, a few trees, and there is a playground. 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. The only downside is that to drive into the campground you have to get out and remove a pad lock and manually open the gate.

    Red Arroyo Campground

    It's ok. $20 + $4 per person

    This is the 2nd Texas state park I've stayed at. Both have a weird design. Bathrooms are at 1 end of sites. I was driving distance. It was cold, 20 degrees . 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.

    Red Arroyo Campground

    Well maintained, poor signage

    Very clear instructions on the voicemail for after hours check in. Signs directing you to the campsites were minimal (ex: instead of “red arroyo campsites 1-11”it said “trailer 1-11.” 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.

    Bald Eagle Creek

    Quiet, comfortable and rarely crowded

    This is the north part of San Angelo State Park. I camped here the last weekend of January. Other than being quite windy during the day, the weather was gorgeous. Chilly at night with temperatures in the thirties but the days were sixties and seventies and sunny. I didn't get to do much exploring because I went to San Angelo to pick up something on Monday morning and thought I would use this trip to test out some gear. The parking sites are great for either a tent or small RV. This was ideal for my setup which is a rooftop tent on my SUV. There were some nice large trees over many of the campsites and there were clean concrete picnic tables with a sun or rain cover above that.
