    100 acre private camping land with camp site that has a view of the water. Stocked pond with fish and tons of wildlife on the property. Plenty of room to hike and explore. You are able to bring a vehicle right up to campsite. Actively managed to increase and preserve wild life activity. Great place for small or large parties to enjoy an all natural camping experience. Pets are welcome.

    Pitch a tent at the far corner of the property to enjoy the natural pond. Just follow the mowed trail to the end. There is a fire pit we use with bricks. Feel free to collect fallen limbs and make a fire where you see responsibly safe. The trail does get muddy after a rain , we will do our best to fill holes that get too deep

      November Road Trip

      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.

      Tradinghouse Lake Park Camping

      Also called McLennan County Park

      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.

      It’ll do

      No hassle check in by phone. Spaces are easy access concrete pads. Place is clean 6 pages of rules though many if not all are repeated. Nice game room for kids. Clean bathrooms and laundry. $50 a night though in 2024.

      Beautiful lakeside spots!

      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.

      Best Place

      There was something like this near my university. I went there to retire and read. I also asked to do my homework, I found someone to do homework for money here. After that I went to the university park. There I took a break from all my studies.

      Lovely location, limited bathhouse

      This is a lovely creekside campground. The campground is well kept. Sites are gravel and pretty level. No WiFi. Bathhouse is clean and pretty new but there is one each Mens and women’s bathroom and shower for a long thin park. From our site to the bathhouse was 3 tenths of a mile.

      Update review

      First 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.

      As I delved into the rich tapestry

      As I delved into the rich tapestry of Afro-American history, I found myself captivated by the multitude of fascinating research paper topics that this subject has to offer. From the struggles and triumphs of the Civil Rights Movement to the cultural influence of jazz and hip-hop, there's a vast array of themes to explore and analyze. One particular resource that I came across during my journey was a blog post on https://writersperhour.com/blog/afro-american-history-research-paper-topics. It provided a comprehensive list of potential topics that could serve as a great starting point for anyone looking to embark on this enlightening academic journey. So, whether you're interested in examining the legacy of prominent Afro-American figures, uncovering lesser-known stories of resilience, or analyzing the impact of art and literature on shaping Afro-American identity, this realm of history offers endless avenues for exploration.

      We enjoyed our stay!

      This is a nice little place to stay for a couple of days. Quick drive over to see the silos downtown (around 10 minutes I think) and get a croissant at Magnolia Bakery. Very nice owner that allowed us to extend our checkout when we discovered we needed to get new tires for our trailer and had to make arrangements. We were at lot 59, which runs horizontal with the creek. Very nice plot. It’s also at the very front of the campground, so it’s not close to where the bulk of the campers are staying. It is a gravel site, so we did have to do some leveling when we got there, and no fire pit. We also had a bit of shade from a tree. If you want to have access to Waco but have a country feel, this is a great place to stay :)

      90% Terrible

      Site #9 was extremely unlevel, narrow, and not for big rigs. Only 30 amp service and the 110 did not work.  The campsite host (?) said to load up and move to another site. He was very unfriendly, sarcastic, and just plain sad. This is a party place at night, not suitable for small children or sensitive folks at night. The shade was wonderful! It was also wonderful that they came around every morning to empty trash cans and replace them with new liners.

      Hidden gem

      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.
