On the banks of the Navasota, the past and the present collide. Two ecosystems meet here, too, and you can explore it all on foot, bike or kayak. Fort Parker State Park is just 90 miles south of the DFW Metroplex.
Stay overnight at a campsite, screened shelter or cabin. Cabins don’t have beds or bathrooms but do have air-conditioning. Sites are scattered around the lake’s edge, and most are near a restroom with showers.
Liberty Hill Park is located on the southern shore of Navarro Mills Lake in central Texas. Visitors can enjoy a view of the lake from the facility and participate in popular outdoor actives like camping, boating, fishing and picnicking. The lake area provides the perfect setting to get away from it all, especially for city-dwellers from the nearby Dallas-Fort Worth metro area.
Birdwatching is a favorite year-round pastime for lake guests. Many species of songbirds, hawks, great blue herons, ducks, geese, other shorebirds and even an occasional bald eagle visit the area. Fishing is also popular at Navarro Mills, and the lake holds the current state record for white crappie. Fishermen come from near and far to sample some of the best crappie fishing anywhere. 2 multi-lane boat ramps, a fishing pier, and marina are available within Liberty Hill Park. There are also healthy populations of channel and yellow catfish, and hefty hybrid stripers are often caught below the dam when water is being released. Swimming is available at the designated swim beach from April 1- September 30 for day users and year round for registered campers. No lifeguard on duty and swimming is at your own risk. Life Jackets are available to borrow from the gatehouse.
Liberty Hill is also a favorite viewing area for wildflowers. The brilliant array of native flowers draws visitors from all over to the lake area during the spring. Bluebonnets, paintbrushes and a myriad of other native plants transform the often-bleak winter landscape into an incredible palette of colors. A wide variety of habitat provides a home and abundant food supply to diverse wildlife. Visitors might stumble across squirrels, rabbits, coyotes, foxes, bobcats, white-tailed deer, raccoon or armadillo.

Had a great 2 night stay. Sites are spread out. Good privacy. Restrooms are clean. Didn’t meet the host which seems unusual.

We took a two day break here from driving cross country. What a beautiful park. We had a site right on the lake. Mid 70s in the day and mid 50s at night. Amazing sunsets.
Scout
Meditatation is easy here. our peace here nice and quiet. Find ye for real. Love this camp site.
ScoutGreat views, clean sites, however there's very limited shade.
Scout
Awesome long term spot. Has a concrete RV pad that you can park your camper on or park beside it and use the very long pad as your patio, which is what we did. Management very responsive to needs and any questions you may have. This spot is on a very quiet area with minimal boat traffic. We had one camper behind us and they were super quiet. Super nice. Laundry at the office for reasonable price to use the washers and dryers.
Guide
This is a newer RV “resort” that is still growing. The pool isn’t open yet but will be very nice when it is. There is a pavilion for large gatherings, a camp store, and laundry on site. The roads and pads are all concrete with full hookups. The park is well maintained, aesthetically pleasing, and everyone is very nice. Give this place a try if you’re nearby.
Scout
Thanks for sharing your knowledge. The information is very detailed and clear, especially it is really helpful Uno Online. I appreciate your sharing.
ScoutI will keep this article bookmarked for future reference, confident that it will continue to be a trusted companion on uno online's journeys across this vast and dynamic state.
ScoutBeware!!!! The new owners of this park are rude,unkind,selfish,greedy people. They allow drugs to run in and out of the park they leave the supposedly secure gate open all night long so anyone can come in. They don't take care of the park and everything is run down. They change the prices when ever it suits them don't believe the online prices. It's a shame that someone who was kind and generous had to pass just so people who never had to work or earn anything gets control over it and doesn't have any care in taking care of what was suppose to be a gift. It's just sad to see what the park is and has become from what it could have been and is now gonna be.

It threw me off when I saw the name difference, but yes, McLennan County Park is the same place as Tradinghouse. I saw on a website that camping wasn't allowed, but this is said it is. I called the McLennan County Sheriff and they said, "Yeah, people camp there all the time." So that's awesome. Free to camp, too, and now I have a place to stay to ping pong between here and Whitney every 14 days.
ScoutThis is a great, non-- parking lot style campground. Every site is covered with trees, and though they are a bit close together you feel connected with nature. Two restaurants within walking distance. Shaved ice within walking distance. Kayaks available. There’s a nice designated swimming area in the lake, and a fishing pier. The hosts are very accommodating.
Scout
Got in around 11pm on a Friday night and there were plenty of spots open. Woke up to an incredible view and more people around (but still not too crowded). Great spot for boating & fishing too.
ScoutCame here because I am going to the Tech Acabemy down the road in Athens. I love the amenities here (pool, Pavillion, gas grilles, dog park and wash, pond, pickleball, other games walking trail, etc.). There are some really friendly people here. You should check it out.
ScoutBad roads and park isn't kept up with washers suck bathroom is nasty owner is Mr. Krabs
ScoutBeautiful area for an overnight stay the day before Eclipse 2024.
Scout
Only stayed one night. Staff were pleasant, check in was fast and easy. Hook-ups are in good condition. Site is concrete.
Guide
The new owners are going all out to make this a family friendly RV park/campground/marina. Only having it for 14 months, you can see the improvements made. There is a store on site for all your needs, that includes wine from the owners own winery. There a a grill also on sight. The campground is gravel pad sites that are mostly level (try site3). They have cabins if you don’t have a RV. Very friendly and eager to make your stay wonderful.
Our visit was a week before Christmas and the decorations were up and beautiful. Give them a try, as we give them a recommendation.
Scout
Ashley from The Dyrt here! Excited to feature this listing with 150 sites, now under new ownership. Property manager Jade is fantastic to work with, and the amenities here are top-notch. Book now, enjoy with friends and family, and don't forget to leave a review! Unicycle Hero
GuideFirst off the name and pin don’t seem quite right. It is called Limestone Lake Park. The road to the pin is gated. No worries though on the other side of the road is an awesome camping area. It looks way too fancy to be free camping but it is. I had a lakeside spot and had the place all to myself on a weekday. This place seems pretty remote, so mostly local folks would be my guess. Waze took me right here when I put the name in. There is decent Verizon service here too.

This campgrounds doesn't enforce rules. Like burn ban people next to us had a fire. Its 100 plus degrees and we haven't had rain in this area. Also had a german shepard dog running around free. They told is he wasn't aggressive but he came over to our campsite 3 times. Followed our kids down to the water. Owner didn't care and thought it was funny. They had 4 trucks parked on the grass area. At least 6 adults and 8-10 kids running around. Kids would come over to our campsite to pee. Just because your outside doesn't mean you can do or act anyway. We were fishing and kids would drive the jet ski over our lines in the water. No adults said anything. Plenty of space for everyone but the kept coming as close as they could to us. Park Ranger didn't fine them for the fire in which they started up as soon as he left. Park did nothing to make this a safe and happy place to relax. We left early to avoid any further issues with them drinking heavily it was just going to get worse as they got drunker.
This park looks good with only 5 electric and water hook ups but don't be fooled. They don't enforce any basic rules. Bathrooms even though we have a camper were so gross I would want to go in for 1 second.
GuideThis is a great park! We enjoyed our 2 day stay here. The bathrooms leave much to be desired (like air conditioning for one) but the park more than makes up for it. The sites are shaded and well maintained. The park has received some upgrades with more planned. The swimming area is well marked and nice hard sand bottom. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here.
ScoutGreat campground on the lake except no wifi (yet).
Ranger
We have really enjoyed our time here at Texan RV Park while attending the RV Fundamentals Course at the NRVTA. The manager, Betty made herself available to assist with any problem 24/7. The park itself is immaculate. There are 2 ponds, cabins, a clubhouse laundry, beautiful showers. There are food trucks on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Activities nearly everyday. Everyone that stays here is attending a class, so everyone visits with each other. I really really like it here.
Guide
Beautiful small state park. We usually tent camp but this time we decided staying at a cabin. Nice, beautiful and modern cabins. Love the enclosed porch and open porch as well. The cabin was spacious enough for our family of 6. The new family restroom close to the cabins was great, nice and clean. I will be back.
GuideI stopped in to use the showers, not realizing they were outdoor showers. The water was turned off, but the park looks to be very well taken care of.
Guide
Can over for a day use before the park closes permanently. Such a beautiful park , sad I didn’t get a chance to camp. Let’s start the review.
The trails were nicely labeled the kids and I enjoyed hiking and stoping take in the beautiful park before it gets transform into a million dollar community. Restroom was nice and clean. Visit towards the end of February Ann’s it was such a great weather.
Traveler
Made my reservation on line just a few spots were available. Spot 04 with a water view space is slanted. They had the parking pass ready to pick up so it was not necessary to speak with anyone. The view, electricity, water, and showers was very nice at such an affordable price. Take your cleaning supplies into the bathroom as a precaution, I did not see trash can in the bathrooms. Leave No Trace is not really practiced by other campers so feel free to pick up after someone else this space is beautiful and deserves respect. I enjoyed the rain and the view it was very relaxing and I appreciated a shower as well as powering all my extras before heading on the road to Minnesota. $14 for the space very appreciate.
