    Rocky Creek (Somerville Lake)

    We love COE’s but….

    Normally all my CEOs get five stars, but the reason this one only gets four is the bathhouse was pretty dirty. Lots of bugs and spiders and just look like it hadn’t been cleaned for several days. Other than that big thumbs up to this park. Spaces are huge and the one we were in was very level. Probably at least 30 to 40 feet between your neighbors. We got a spot that was overlooking the lake so had a great view. That was spot 60. When we pulled in the thirty amp electric was not working, but the staff at the park was Johnny on the spot and got it fixed shortly. Another big bonus was the hiking trails around this park were fabulous. Saw lots of deer and also was able to walk along the shoreline of the lake for quite a ways. Could easily kayak for miles.

    Patriot RV Park

    Electrical issues

    The RV Park worked ok for us and what we did in this location. We did see a fluctuation in the electrical power. We had a fan setup in the living room and would change speeds all by itself from almost nothing running to running full speed. Several times per minute.

    Colinas RV Park

    CHEAP, ALL UTILS INCLUDED, SUPER BIG SITES

    Colinas RV Park is a pretty simple place, nothing fancy, but it’s clean and quiet and the sites are very large. 

    The owners keep it up well. What I like most is that the sites are big with a lot of shade trees, which makes it comfortable in the summer. They’ve got free Wi-Fi that works surprisingly well and a laundry room on-site, which is convenient. 

    Right now they’re running a special at$500 a month with all bills included, guaranteed for a year, which is hard to beat in this area. It’s not a resort, but it’s a good spot if you’re working around Elgin, Taylor, or even commuting into Austin. Close to HEB and Walmart, and the BBQ nearby is some of the best in Texas.

    Stephen F. Austin State Park Campground

    Nice wooded spot.

    This is a great park to overnight or stay a couple days. It's very quiet. And the hiking trails are well maintained. AT&T coverage is weak.

    Independence City Park

    Not for big rigs

    There were 4 of us 40’ RVs. Two of us lost covers off of roof top units. There are trees every where that need trimmed before motorhome can go in without damage.

    Sherwood Forest Faire Campground

    good

    Campground reviews? Well, those can be a real mixed bag! Ever tried navigating a website that promises serenity but delivers screaming kids and a questionable outhouse? I remember trying to book a campsite once, promised a breathtaking lake view. Ended up staring at a concrete wall while balancing on uneven ground. It felt like I was playing a real-life Slope Game of campsite roulette.

Fishing opportunities: Oak Thicket Park provides fishing access on Fayette Lake. One visitor shared: "I've seen some bad reviews of this park and I can't tell you why I understand there isn't much to do here but swim fish and relax the sites are full of trees and not to close.

What you should know
