    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 

    Very clean toilet/shower facility; it took 3 men 2 hours in a Monday to clean one facility, but no cleaning Tuesday or Wednesday or Thursday(didn’t even pick up the trash)! 

    Constable manning gate after normal gate hours 

    Roped off lake swimming area 

    Small playground near swimming area 

    CONS 

    Paid$3.50 reservation fee for completing 100% on-line reservation 

    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. 

    Trip hazard on the picnic table concrete where someone cut the chains that held the table in place 

    Numerous dogs roaming…no leash and no human 

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

    No evening trash pickup so have to store trash created by evening cooking 

    Gate was not closed overnight 

    Camp store and water craft rental closed Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday 

    No wildlife sightings 

    No park WIFI 

    No camp hosts

    Lake Livingston State Park Campground

    It’s all about the lake

    Lake Livingston State Park is a fantastic state park for water activities. The fishing, boating, canoeing, kayaking and paddle boarding is all fantastic.

    Campsites: The sites were all well maintained with the best spots being in Piney Shores & Red Oak. We were in spot #69. It had a great view but lacked in flat playing space for young children and hammock trees.

    Trails: There were a few trails in the park, none of which were all that long. The main Trinity Trace Trail was flat dirt, good for young bikers. Though trails are short, they connect so you could do a few trails for a longer run/hike if you so desired.

    Bathrooms: Each campground loop has one bathroom and shower. They can be a bit of a walk if you don’t have a close site. They appear to be older but maintained and cleaned well enough.

    Park Specific Activities: Getting on the water was awesome, it’s the largest lake in Texas, so lots to explore. Fishing was fantastic. We caught bass, perch and catfish and lots of them! Getting in the lake left some to be desired. The bottom has many large rocks, tree stumps and is very mossy. Swimming can be fun but a little dangerous and slippery. The duck pond and frog pond are nothing to get excited about. We saw no birds in the bird blind and the frog pond is so small you almost can’t see it. We did hear a frog though.

    Other: Connected to the park store they had a small educational space for young kids with a functioning beehive. The kids (ages 2-6) loved it. The park store is not open Mondays and Tuesdays. Kayak, canoe and paddle board rentals were only Thursday to Sunday 8:30-3:30. $10-20/rental. The pool was not functioning when we went in August 2018. They have a small amphitheater and near by a room available for rent which can have 50 guests. It was air conditioned and had nice hardwood floors.

    In Summary: We would absolutely recommend it for water activities and relaxation. It’s a beautiful spot! We wouldn’t recommend it for just birding or hiking but the park as a whole is great.

    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.

    Lake Livingston State Park Campground

    FHU Lakefront Sites

    We love this state park and it's one of our favorites! This was our third time camping here in the Piney Shores Loop. We arrived on Memorial Day for four nights with reservations made 54 days prior. We weren’t loving Piney Shores#52 back-in campsite much due to: Steep drop-off of the concert pad and the narrow roadway making backing in challenging, but not impossible for our 27ft trailer.  Any larger rigs might not be able to swing it.

    The dirt area around the picnic table, fire pit and lantern pole was a huge MUD hole! What a mess due to daily rains. 

    No concrete pad under the picnic table, so your feet were in the MUD hole! HINT– Park Maintenance needs to apply some medium size gravel around the table and fire pit. 

    Picnic table (chained to the ground) and fire pit were right next to each other. WHO DESIGNS THESES CAMPSITES?? 

    Power interruptions, albeit short. Very glad we had our power surge protector. 

    We loved: 

    Very level concrete pad requiring no additional leveling efforts. 

    Huge campsite along the lakefront with access to launch kayak/canoe or even swim(which we didn’t). 

    Gorgeous sunsets over the lake. It was wonderful to sit at the fire facing the lake and watch the sunsets. 

    The squirrels that ate from our fingertips! It was also really amusing to find the squirrels VERY friendly. They just hoped up onto our laps and took peanuts in the shell from our fingertips! 

    Super quiet as only 6 full hook up campsites were occupied due to COVID operating restrictions.

    Lake Livingston State Park Campground

    Just a hop from Houston to beautiful nature

    Lake Livingston State Park is one of our regular visits. During the school year it is hard to head out on a Friday, drive 2-3 hours and then setup in the dark for a weekend camping trip. Lake Livingston is just over an hour from our house and has lots to offer. They recently rebuilt one of the camping loops to where now this is one of the few state parks in Texas that have Full Hookups. Not all loops have Full Hookups but a couple do.

    Like most state parks in Texas the sites here are large and offer a lot of shade. Each site will have a table and a fire ring. There are tons of hiking trails and geocaches throughout the park. It is also close to shops in town so that if you forget something you are only about 15 minutes from a Walmart. There is a shop on site that has most of the essentials.

    Loved our time at this park. Site was spacious though couldn’t get right on the water. Friendly neighbors and staff. Store on site. Fishing for catfish from the bank was great.


Guide to Huntsville

Lake Livingston and Lake Conroe form the centerpiece of camping options near Huntsville, Texas, offering over 83,000 acres of water recreation opportunities. The terrain varies from pine forests to open lakeshores with elevations ranging from 131 to 400 feet above sea level. Summer temperatures regularly exceed 90°F while winter nights can drop below freezing, creating distinct camping seasons with varying wildlife activity and water conditions.

What to do

Fishing opportunities: At Wolf Creek Park, the fishing directly from lakefront sites provides convenient access. "This campground has plenty of shaded sites with plenty of space for walking pets, riding bicycles or just fishing," notes Keith H. Catfish, bass, and perch are common catches throughout the lake system.

Water activities: Several parks offer equipment rentals for exploring the lakes. "You can rent paddle boats, canoes and paddle boards, play miniature golf and purchase basic supplies from the park store," shares Mary A. about Wolf Creek Park. For wakeboarding enthusiasts, Bethy Creek Resort provides specialized facilities as one camper noted: "Clean camping site on the Trinity with a cable 2.0 for wakeboarding."

Hiking trails: The forested areas surrounding the lakes feature multiple trail systems. At Lake Livingston State Park Campground, "There is a 'board walk trail' that is quite literally a board walk through the forest. It's just a 1 mile loop and has a few benches and attractions, and this would be an excellent handicap option," explains camper Rocco.

What campers like

Waterfront sites: Multiple campgrounds feature direct water access sites. "Almost all spots have a great view of the lake. Ours had a deck right over the water," reports Rodney C. about Bethy Creek Resort. These waterfront sites typically cost $5-10 more per night than standard sites but provide immediate lake access.

Clean facilities: Campground maintenance receives consistently positive feedback. At Thousand Trails Lake Conroe, Nick E. observed, "Definitely one of the more premium experiences we have had as TT members. Concrete pads, full hookups, well-maintained grounds." Many campgrounds feature updated shower facilities with regular cleaning schedules.

Family activities: Beyond water recreation, structured activities appeal to families with children. "Gorgeous campground with a large lake and two ponds, a pool, putt putt, & tons of activities for kids!" shares Nick & Allyssa S. about Thousand Trails Lake Conroe. Most organized activities run Friday through Sunday during peak season (March-November).

What you should know

Site selection process: Some campgrounds use first-come systems rather than assigned 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," explains Debbie J. about Thousand Trails Lake Conroe. Arriving earlier in the day improves site selection chances.

Weekend crowding: Peak periods significantly impact the camping experience. "We camped here for a long weekend getaway... the campground was huge, and you cannot reserve a specific site. This is fine, but we were looking for a quiet, private site and there are very few of those," notes Debbie J.
