    Traders Village RV Park

    Houston, Tx…..Nothing to get excited about

    It’s a large campground and spaces are very small. There’s a grass strip between camp sites. No picnic tables or grills. The office gave us a map and showed us how to get to our site but virtually impossible to understand. A very nice gentleman that stayed here took us to our site. He said they have no idea how to do directions and a buddy of his really messed up his camper by trolling around looking for their site. It’s very crowded and no room for awnings or for both campers side by side to put out awnings. There is a pool but it doesn’t look well maintained and there’s absolutely no chairs. Just the pool and it’s small. Laundry room is large. There’s no dog park or anywhere to walk your dog. Signs everywhere that say no pets, yet they are allowed. The flea market is only on the wknd. It’s close to a lot of restaurants and in a nice area.

    Wolf Creek Park

    Lake Livingston Gem

    This Park is on the edge of being a 5 STAR park... 

    PROS 

    Senior Discount 

    Check-in at the gate without leaving vehicle NO street lights in A3 campground, so good dark sky viewing(when neighbors don’t have a dozen campsite lights illuminating 3-4 campsites) 

    Very very quiet Sunday thru Wednesday 

    Site 62 backs up to Lake Livingston so excellent view of lake and easy accessibility from lakefront campsites 

    Site 62 12 ft wide concrete parking pad level 

    Moveable wooden and metal picnic table on concrete pad 

    Metal fire ring(no cooking grate) 

    Pedestal BBQ grill Campsite utility hook-ups in good condition with no problems encountered 

    Trash pickup at each campsite 3 times daily 

    Pristine grounds

    On Day#2 of our stay, a neighbor camper came to us to inform us that the park manager just stopped by his site(we were at our site and saw him) to let him know there was a burn ban established for the next 7 days and that he need to spread the word to other campers. Two days later we saw a small burn ban sign posted at the toilet/shower facility. Communicating this crucial information needs improved. Perhaps posting signs throughout the park, especially at the entrance.

    Numerous dogs roaming…no leash and no human 

    Absolutely no privacy from any other campsite as there is no vegetation between campsites

    Stephen F. Austin State Park Campground

    Pleasant Texas State Park

    We had a really nice relaxing stay at Stephen F Austin State Park near San Filepe, Texas. Great little state park easily accessed from I-10. The 38 RV sites are all asphalt pad pull throughs with 30/15 amp electric, water and sewer complete with concrete pad for table, fire pit, lantern and all well spaced for plenty of privacy...big rig friendly. They have an additional 39 tent only sites with water and 25 primitive. Screened shelters are reservable for tent camping with 20 amp electric and water plus one rustic cabin with amenities. There is a$5 daily entrance fee in addition to camping fees. The bathhouse facilities are brand new. It's a small park but they do have five miles of trails for hiking/biking with views of the Brazos River. We enjoyed the wildlife; deer strolling in the campground every morning and evening, birds, rabbits, frogs, turtles, a bobcat and numerous owls. They have a Nature Center; however it was not open during our visit. The park office has a small store with sundries and park souvenirs. The nearby San Felipe de Austin State His­toric Site tells the story of early settlers to Texas and is worth a visit. We made a run to the nearby town of Sealy to do a much needed laundry stop...small community with grocery, dining and fuel to meet most needs.

    Stephen F. Austin State Park Campground

    Well Equipped Campsites

    We made a reservation for a tent site and found the rate very reasonable. Sites are well equipped with water, a fire pit with grill grate, picnic table, and pole to hang food if necessary. Bathrooms and dumpster area are clean and well lit. The park hosts were very friendly and helpful. We enjoyed the short trails that were accessible from the campsite. Saw deer in the camp area and enjoyed (mostly) watching the big yellow garden spiders building their webs next to the trail in the morning.

    Stephen F. Austin State Park Campground

    Fun for ALL!

    I took a trip here with my husband, our son (3yo), my sister-in-law, her husband, their daughter(1yo), and a total of 4 dogs! We had an absolute blast! Since we live in Houston and my sister-in law lives in Corpus Christi, TX we all wanted to get out of the city and just enjoy nature. So glad we chose to camp here. We stayed for a total of 4 nights in tents! My husband and I got there first and the park ranger said we were the first to check in, so we could choose the site we wanted. We wanted a site fairly close to the bathrooms because of the kiddos, one big enough to fit us all, and also one with a lot of shade because it was hella hot! We chose site 72 and it worked really well. Just be aware if your going with a group, the big sites do not have much shade.

    We decided to do a bit of hiking with the kids and this place was perfect for a family trip.The trails were beautiful and easy to get through (marked well) with all of us and the staff was helpful and kind enough to let us know which ones were closed (aftermath of Hurricane Harvey). Most of the trails were short (less than a mile), so if you are looking for a place for moderate or extreme hiking, it is not here, but for the kids, these were perfect! Obviously in Texas the land is pretty flat in most places, so there wasn't much incline at all. We were able to go on every trail with rest and snacks in between for little ones. There is also fishing, but because of Harvey everything was still in clean up mode. Being from Houston, we definitely understood that it would take some time to get everything going again. It seemed like Hurricane Harvey turned the outermost trails/ longest trails into a big creek bed. It literally just washed everything out.

    The facilities were old, but very well taken care of and clean! Very few bathrooms and showers, so if you are going during peak season be aware you could be waiting in line (especially the girls restroom/showers). During our stay there were many Boy Scout groups camping and many others, but thankfully I am an early riser, and got to the showers by 6 AM with no wait! Also if you have kids or a small bladder get a site close to the bathrooms otherwise it could be little walk from one of the other sites because of the way they are spaced out.

    The campsites were very clean and we watched a few times as people left that the rangers would come out and clean them immediately! Also firewood is for sale on site and it not expensive. We had to go back twice to get wood and the lady who was there was so sweet and gave us extra just in case for no extra cost.There is a fire-pit with a grill rack at ever site which is helpful. We brought some foil to just put over the rack to cook burgers and it worked well! They have RV campsite, Water-only campsites, walk-in sites, group sites, and I believe screened group shelters for youth camps and such.

    This state park is a great little place! We have a state park pass so we try to visit as many as possible and obviously our entry fee is free, but we enjoy the history and education they provide as well. This park is only 30 miles from Houston and about 8 miles from a Bucee's (worlds best gas station) in case you need any supplies or gas. We will definitely come back to this one!

    Wolf Creek Park

    Clean, Well Maintained with excellent restrooms

    This campground is probably one of the best in the area. It's clean, well maintained with excellent restrooms that are well lit and spotless. The boat launch is in great condition with plenty of parking. The camp store is well stocked and operated by the nicest of people. Slushes and Pickles all day! You've got all the amenities for RVs, lots of picnic tables and the campsites are well spaced out with fire pits electricity including 30 amp along with water. Lake Livingston is great for fishing and they have a designated safe swim area. Overall this is a very safe, very clean and family-oriented campground. Highly Recommend.

    Stephen F Austin State Park, A Must Visit

    OK, this was my second visit to a Texas State Park. Simply said, I was blown away with this park. Driving in, deer scattered the landscape. Like my trip to Huntsville State Park, I opted for a screened shelter. The protection from the elements were well worth the $122.50 I paid for four nights. With electric/water, I was very comfortable and was able to use my electric heater in my tent. The shelter came with a locking door, although I don't think anyone would bother you anyway. There are some nice trails, including one that will take you to the Brazos River. The park was nice and quiet and the weather was cold, I absolutely loved it. The Park entrance has a little Store and the town of Sealy is just a few miles away should you need supplies. The staff was remarkably helpful and courteous. I really enjoyed the peace of this park, the Solitude and good energy force you to take in it's grandeur. Since it was freezing cold, (which I loved) the extremely clean bathrooms, with showers would be a welcome site. I was surprised how clean the facility was, it was even heated. I definitely plan on returning to the park, maybe gonna try out the cabin.

    Great State Park

    Full hookups with 30 amps. Semi circle drive thru that fit my 44 ft motorhome and towed Jeep. Deer all over and saw a 6 point buck. Very dark with no lighting. We arrived around midnight and was a little difficult finding our spot. Fire pit and plenty of room.

    Wolf Creek Park

    Beautiful setting great sites

    Hidden gem of  campground with very large sites, good distance between them and right on Lake Livingston.

    This campground has plenty of shaded sites with plenty of space for walking pets, riding bicycles or just fishing.


Guide to Hufsmith

Stephen F. Austin State Park Campground sits 30 miles from Houston and spans flat terrain with Spanish moss-draped trees. The park features 40 full hookup sites and multiple hiking trails under a dense canopy that provides ample shade during hot Texas summers. Temperatures frequently reach above 90°F from June through September, making the wooded campsites particularly valuable for glamping in Hufsmith, Texas and surrounding areas.

What to do

Hiking on well-marked trails: Stephen F. Austin State Park Campground offers family-friendly hiking opportunities with clearly marked paths. "The trails were beautiful and easy to get through (marked well) with all of us and the staff was helpful and kind enough to let us know which ones were closed. Most of the trails were short (less than a mile), so if you are looking for a place for moderate or extreme hiking, it is not here, but for the kids, these were perfect!"

Fishing in Lake Livingston: Wolf Creek Park provides excellent fishing access with lakefront campsites. The park includes a boat ramp with fuel available for purchase and rentals for water recreation. "Wolf Creek Park is well maintained with many nice shady campsites. Sites have water and electricity and some have sewer hookups. There's a nice swimming area, playground and boat ramp with fuel for purchase."

Wildlife viewing: The parks near Hufsmith offer excellent wildlife spotting opportunities, especially for deer and birds. "Saw lots of deer that came fairly close to us. We were able to listen in on a conversation between a very large owl who had taken up residence in one of the trees by our site, and a long distance friend several sites down."

What campers like

Spacious, private sites: The camping areas provide good separation between neighbors at many locations. "Even the smallest site had plenty of room for a family to enjoy the outdoors without feeling cramped." Sites at Wolf Creek Park are particularly noted for their size, with one camper mentioning, "This campground has plenty of shaded sites with plenty of space for walking pets, riding bicycles or just fishing."

Clean facilities: Many campgrounds maintain high standards for their bathrooms and showers. "The facilities were old, but very well taken care of and clean! The campsites were very clean and we watched a few times as people left that the rangers would come out and clean them immediately!"

Security measures: Several parks implement security features for a safer stay. "They have a guarded gate and cute store in the park. The bathroom/showers are very clean and well kept." Another camper noted, "This park is closed to the general public on weekends, so even if it is filled with campers, things are usually pretty calm and quiet."

What you should know

Shade availability varies: While some campgrounds offer excellent tree coverage, others have limited shade. "We wanted a site fairly close to the bathrooms because of the kiddos, one big enough to fit us all, and also one with a lot of shade because it was hella hot! Just be aware if you're going with a group, the big sites do not have much shade."

Bathroom access planning: At busy campgrounds, restroom facilities can become crowded. "Very few bathrooms and showers, so if you are going during peak season be aware you could be waiting in line (especially the girls restroom/showers). During our stay there were many Boy Scout groups camping and many others, but thankfully I am an early riser, and got to the showers by 6 AM with no wait!"

Site selection systems: Thousand Trails Lake Conroe uses a first-come, first-served system for specific sites. "The campground is huge, and you cannot reserve a specific site. You drive around and pick a site, then call and let them know which one you're in. This is fine, but we were looking for a quiet, private site and there are very few of those."

Construction impacts: Road construction can affect access routes. "Due to Interstate 10 construction, the eastbound exit for San Felipe is closed so the navigation system took us further East and then backtracked on some horrible condition rural roads. Recommend going to Brookshire and using FM 359 and then FM 1458 to reach Park Road unless you want to really beat up your rig."

Tips for camping with families

Water features for kids: Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park offers excellent water recreation for families. "We camped during the week and it wasn't very crowded. Plenty to do for our little ones. Splash pad, water slides, pool, lazy river, fishing, golf cart rental and more. We will be back."

Halloween camping events: Several parks offer special Halloween activities. "We have been to this park twice now, once at a tent site and once at a Yogi on the Lake cabin. Both during Halloween time a year apart. What a FUN place to be!! Our kids loved that we got to go Trick or treating at a campground!"

Swimming areas with gradual entry: Wolf Creek Park has water areas suitable for younger swimmers. "We tried the swimming area for the first time and we absolutely loved it. It's perfect for the kiddos and not too deep, no matter how far you go out."

Weekend vs. weekday visits: For quieter experiences with children, consider mid-week stays. "We camped during the week and it wasn't very crowded. The campground is huge, and we like to camp for the relaxation and serenity of it, and this campground just isn't that type of place on weekends."

Tips from RVers

Leveling requirements: Some sites require adjustments for RVs. "The site required leveling side-to-side. Quiet campsite. No highway noise. Train whistle in distant."

Cell service considerations: Mobile connectivity varies by location and provider. "AT&T 1 bar signal" at one park, while another reports, "I had 5G network with T-Mobile and good TV reception."

Full hookup availability: Houston West RV Park and several other locations offer complete utility connections. "Full hookups with 30 amps. Semi circle drive thru that fit my 44 ft motorhome and towed Jeep." This makes luxury glamping in Hufsmith, Texas area more accessible for those with larger rigs.

Late arrival procedures: Some parks offer special check-in processes after hours. "They were very accommodating when I called and gave us an easy spot up front because we were arriving after 8pm. Level spot, no fuss. Quiet night." Another camper noted, "Staff is awesome and helped us get in for a late check in."
