    Cowtown RV Park

    Nice, quite, & friendly!

    This was our first RV park to stay at with our new RV. We are from out of state and we’re visiting family in the Aledo area. We were welcomed at the office and check in was quick and painless. They even called us ahead to check on us and our arrival time to make sure we would be checked in quickly. The facility is a bit dated, reminds me of the parks my family traveled to when I was a kid, but clean and accommodating. The showers were in need of updated shower heads but other than that it was nice. The slips themselves were concrete and for the most part level. It took us no time to level and have our RV ready to use. The hookups were all in working order and easy to access. The pool is nice and clean, shallow for small children or if you just want to float around in the sun. It wasn’t ever crowded while we were there. There were a couple dog parks and three bath houses. All in all it was a pleasant stay. Shade is limited, welcome to Texas, but there were site with trees. We will be staying again while visiting for sure.

    Possum Kingdom State Park Campground

    Great campground on the lake

    We so enjoyed our stay here! Right on the water and the campgrounds are spaced out enough that you are not right on top of each other. There is a convenience store on site that has most anything you need. There is also a Men’s and Women’s bathrooms with two shower stalls (in the women’s at least) - but no family bathroom setup. Everything was pretty basic, as you would expect at a state park.

    A Plus RV Park

    Friendly Staff, Easy Highway Access

    I have seen this place a million times living in the community nearby and never thought to check to see if they all tent campers. I was shocked to find out they do accommodate them so I passed through and checked out the grounds and wanted to let people know it exists!

    There are two entries at the front of the property each easily accessed from the highway. Though they are gravel they are easy to navigate but do hold a little water in the rain. As you drive into the camp there are 4 main rows of camping, mostly in use by RVs however they do also accommodate tent campers. These sites can be picked up nightly or for more long term use so many people at this park have called this their home for a bit. Despite obvious signs of the long term dwellers, the grounds are clean and well maintained and don't look cluttered like some long term campgrounds will begin to look.

    The site offers nice restrooms with showers, a bbq for general use, a rec room perfect for having your breakfast or dinner or perhaps a game of cards with friends and has connections for RVs up to 50 amp as well as a dump station.

    For the tent camper sites are wide enough to be comfortable to move around and have scattered picnic tables. The tent camping sites are located on a grassy area next to the pond so they are not squished between big rigs and have a bit more privacy.

    This site might not look as elaborate as some, but it more than makes up for the few things you do not have by its friendly staff and on site mechanic.

    TIPS:

    • Call in advance if looking for an RV site, they do have several spaces available but during certain times of the year they do fill up as they are centrally located to many things.

    • Check out the LBJ Grasslands which are nearby when visiting this location, a great get away for some outdoor activities.

    Lake Granbury Marina and RV Park

    Good free camping.

    This is a great spot. Highway noise is there, but not bad. Sites available close to water/marina. Has dumpsters you can use at park also. Decently clean sites. I don’t think anyone cleans the charcoal grills though.

    Fort Richardson State Park Hist. Site and Trailway

    History and Lodging

    The entire park was well maintained. The restrooms and showers were modern, neat and clean. The historical site was closed for tours on the day that we stayed, but we were able to walk around the site and visit buildings. The signs on the outside of the structures were very informative and we were able to peek in the windows to experience life during those times.

    Our stay in Site 41 was perfect for solitude and comfort.  No bright lights from other RVs. There was only 1 other RV in this section. The partially shaded site had electricity and water.  It is located quite a distance from the restroom/shower area.

    This campground offers fun, history and camping all in one place!

    Rock Island RV Park

    Beautiful RV Sites

    Shortly after stepping into the park one is greeted by a quaint little pond with many of the RV units surrounding the water. Ducks and geese flock in the area and create a fun atmosphere to spend time in. Horses, donkeys, and other assortments of animals have are kept on the premises. It gives a true Texas countryside feel in the park.

    We spent time here shortly after getting our own camper. It is also nice being close to town to have access to things as needed while still being far enough away to feel away from it all. Aesthetically, it is certainly one of the nicest RV sites I have been too.

    Plateau — Lake Mineral Wells State Park

    My Favorite State Park

    • Great rock climbing
    • Awesome hiking trails and nature…love the quiet solitude
    • Watching the sunsets from the viewing blinds
    • Lots of wildlife..Deer, Robin's
    • Multiple fishing piers and one of lit fishing pier
    • Park store that sells bait and rents kayaks & canoes

    This is my favorite State Park. As you drive over the dam to get to the camp site, there is usually a big sigh and you can feel your body relax. The hiking trails are awesome, wooded and peaceful. Usually as the dad, I am the one pushing the kids to go on a hike, but at this park it is the other way round. My eight and six year old's, wake me up wanting to go hiking and rock climbing. One weekend we counted that we had seen at least twenty-four deer.

    Watching the sunset from the viewing blind is mesmerizing. We love the lit fishing piers, after the kids are in bed, can indulge in some "me" time with a nice cigar and a couple of beers in a folding chair.

    And stop by Outlaw BBQ in Weatherford while you are there. They have some of the best breakfast burritos.

    Fort Richardson State Park Hist. Site and Trailway

    Fun Mother's Day Weekend at Fort Richardson State Park

    This is a fun little state park was just perfect for a little Saturday night away. It is just a little less than 2 hours from Fort Worth. I would say that the park is good for short stays of 1 to 3 nights. There is not a lot to do in the area or the park that would keep attention more than that. The park has a stocked fishing lake and equipment for loan. There is all the fort buildings to explore with rangers giving talks and various activities. There is the trail system between the park and Lost Creek Reservoir for hiking and horseback riding about a 10 mile trails. The park also has a full sized sand volleyball court and playground for the kids.

    The campsites are very good sized with two different camping areas. One the sites are pretty spread out with easy pull ins and flat. The other has a the cabins and sites are more close together. The parks only bathhouse is on this side also. It's not far but a bit too far for convenience if you are needing a shower. Restrooms are also in the fort area which is just down from the other campground. We were only there one night so the kids washed up in the creek LOL. The sites all have picnic tables and fire rings/pits.

    We put up our large tent and dog trolley line with still plenty of space. The creek running behind the (with a big fan blowing) kept us nice & cool.

    The local sheriff and police make drive throughs, No safety or security issues.

    No issues with noise either.


Guide to Graford

Campers visiting Graford, Texas experience a unique landscape of limestone hills and juniper forests within the Cross Timbers ecoregion. The area surrounding Possum Kingdom Lake sits at approximately 1,000 feet elevation, creating distinct microclimates that shift between the semi-arid western regions and the more humid eastern portions. Winter temperatures rarely drop below freezing, making off-season camping viable for visitors seeking quieter experiences at most established sites.

What to do

Rock climbing opportunities: Penitentiary Hollow at Lake Mineral Wells State Park offers unique climbing experiences for beginners and intermediate climbers. According to a camper at Cross Timbers — Lake Mineral Wells State Park, "Tent camped at site 104. Good amount of space on this site, but do your research. Some of the sites there are fairly small. Sites are spaced out well... There is rock climbing and a small swim beach on the other side of the lake and lots of places to go fishing."

Historical exploration: Visit restored military buildings at Fort Richardson State Park. A visitor notes, "A few times a year, the City of Jacksboro opens its arms to an influx of campers and schools from around the state eager to see one of the unique reinactments at the historic location of Fort Richardson State Park." Another camper mentions, "Beautiful campsite. The fort is very interesting. I was there on a re-enactment weekend and really enjoyed talking to all the re-enacters. A lot of great history."

Wildlife viewing: Look for deer and wild turkeys, especially at dawn and dusk. One visitor to Lake Mineral Wells reported, "I saw deer and wild turkey every evening, an armadillo and lots of birds." The primitive camping areas often provide better wildlife spotting opportunities away from more developed campgrounds.

What campers like

Waterfront camping spots: Many sites offer direct lake access for fishing and kayak launches. A camper at Thousand Trails Bay Landing mentioned, "We arrived late December and it was chilly. Sites with full hook up are limited, but even with annuals are still possible. One thing though, we found a great site (124) very close to the water which is a plus for us as my wife is disabled and needs a walker."

Spacious campsite layouts: Several campgrounds feature well-distanced sites with concrete pads. At Cowtown RV Park, a visitor noted, "The slips themselves were concrete and for the most part level. It took us no time to level and have our RV ready to use. The hookups were all in working order and easy to access." Another camper praised the "Level concrete spots" and mentioned "The host bends over backwards to make your stay pleasurable."

Yurt camping options: Cross Timbers Glamping Company offers modern yurt accommodations with amenities beyond traditional camping. Yurt camping near Graford, Texas has grown in popularity as travelers seek hybrid outdoor experiences with more creature comforts. The Graford area now features multiple yurt camping locations, offering bathroom facilities that traditional tent campers often don't have access to.

What you should know

Campsite selection matters: Investigate site layouts before booking. A visitor to Possum Kingdom State Park Campground warned, "If you want to really camp, and not in a 50 footer, this is not a place to do it. Maybe the sites behind the lake would be better. We have camped across the country with a 12 footer teardrop 3 times. This is my least favorite campsite! Pads are broken up almost to the point of dangerous."

Seasonal considerations: Summer brings higher occupancy and limited boat/kayak rentals. One camper noted, "It is pretty busy during early summer, when I had checked it out and more so during the holidays such as July 4th, Memorial Day and Labor Day. I decided to go during the week so there was no issue in getting a canoe from the rentals but on the more busy weekends I was told it is first come first serve."

Sound travels across water: Noise can be an issue at lakeside campgrounds. A camper staying at Lake Godstone mentioned, "One thing to note if you are camping around the lake - sound travels. If there are guests at the lodge, you WILL hear them. Luckily, when the kids at the lodge woke us up at 2am with loud music and shouting, the managers were very quick to get them to quiet down."

Tips for camping with families

Playground amenities: Several campgrounds offer dedicated children's play areas. A camper at Cowtown RV Park shared, "We stayed for a few nights while traveling through Fort Worth and enjoyed this park. It was a great location, quiet and had a playground for our kids." The park also features "a nice little pool" that stays "shallow for small children."

Educational opportunities: Schedule visits around historical reenactments when possible. A visitor to Fort Richardson State Park recommended "Ghosts of Christmas Past" as "an event set to showcase the period of the fort days and tell the story of how soldiers spent the time, what it might have been like on those cold winter nights and create a vision of fort life. It was a great educational visit."

Wildlife viewing blinds: These structures provide safe, quiet wildlife observation for children. One camper noted, "Watching the sunset from the viewing blind is mesmerizing." Another visitor mentioned, "Easy access to the docks and to deer blinds to watch the deer come out (no hunting)."

Tips from RVers

Site leveling challenges: Some parks have uneven sites requiring additional preparation. A visitor to Bay Landing warned, "I sprained my knee and ankle at this park because our site was so unlevel and the mud sunk our jacks a little. Our rig weighs 16,000lbs so the Class As should be careful. The ground was soft and I came out of the RV without thinking and twisted both."

Site width considerations: Some parks have narrower sites challenging for larger rigs. A camper at Possum Kingdom shared, "Only complaint is the width of the campsite. I don't know that all were as narrow as ours, but site 20 is a really tight squeeze. Went off the side a couple of times trying to get in. With that narrow width, I was forced to park in overflow parking."

Cellular service: Good connectivity is available at most established campgrounds. At Bay Landing, campers reported, "We were able to work and stream video easily with T-Mobile and AT&T." Similar reports exist across most parks within 20 miles of Graford, though service can be spotty in more primitive areas.
