    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.

    Buescher State Park Campground

    Nightmare camping!!!

    Do NOT camp here if you want peace and quiet!! after 3 diffrent attempts to enjoy quiet peaceful camping trips here I can confirm quiet hours are NOT inforced and even worse all three times I've stayed here I've had someone intrude onto my campsite to either try and peak into my tent, or use my picnic table or grill when there are plenty of others unused???? 

    doesn't help that front staff are rude every time ive been too. never had these problems at other state parks. guess Beaushner is the party park!

    Stephen F. Austin State Park Campground

    A small park that offers a charming and relaxing nature experience.

    This park may be on the smaller side, but it’s full of charm!🌿 The trails are peaceful and great for spotting wildlife, while the shady trees make it perfect for hammocks or picnics. The campsites feel cozy yet spacious, and sprunki, clean, well-kept facilities make the whole experience even more enjoyable. A hidden gem worth visiting!✨

    Stephen F. Austin State Park Campground

    Full hookup pull through sites at a State Park!

    Aside from the fact that the park is very well maintained and there is an abundance of wildlife, you get pull through sites with full hook ups on the cheap! I have a State Parks Pass which makes it even more affordable. While we were there we saw an abundance of deer and bunnies, plus 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 (judging by the difference in volume).

    Add to this the little extras - a separate email from the park staff allowing me to go ahead and have them print my reservation and have it waiting for me - a great feature because we got on after the park office had closed, and you have a great experience. Love it and will be back very soon!!!
