Loyd Park is a wonderful destination for anyone looking to escape the city and enjoy the natural beauty of Texas. I highly recommend a visit to Loyd Park for anyone looking for a peaceful and relaxing camping experience. You should go there territorial io. The facilities are clean and well-maintained, the staff is friendly and helpful, and the location is unbeatable.

Stayed here 5 nights waiting for our property to be ready. Called into the office like we have every morning and was told"sorry you have to leave we reserved your spot." ON MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND!!!! Who does this??? No notice, didn't say anything all week. But sure took our money! Poop all over the grass. The dog park is nasty! They give you all the rules, very strick. LOUD, the highway is right here. Unprofessional!!!!! Never again!!!!!

Place is not consumer friendly and service staff is rude. Throughout the online reservation process nothing is disclosed regarding the terms and conditions. After they take and accept your money, they email you a link to the terms and conditions which MUST you must click ACCEPT in order to stay. Immediately tried to cancel as I didn't agree with some of the terms and they take a$50 cancelation fee. I call not disclosing this information prior to accepting payment, forcing acceptance after the fact and then refusing to return payment a shady practice. An upfront honest business would disclose this and provide a checkbox for you to agree to these terms before they collect your money. They basically twist your arm into signing to the terms and conditions if they already have your money, but refuse your stay and refused to refund in full if you won't sign.
ScoutThis is actually our second stay at this campground and I cannot say enough great things about it. Well kept, thoughtful hosts, a cute little campstore, an amazing playground for our kids, a beach, golf cart rentals, cabins, and you can easily pull in a giant RV. I highly recommend this campground.
Traveler
Made my reservation on line just a few spots were available. Spot 04 with a water view space is slanted. They had the parking pass ready to pick up so it was not necessary to speak with anyone. The view, electricity, water, and showers was very nice at such an affordable price. Take your cleaning supplies into the bathroom as a precaution, I did not see trash can in the bathrooms. Leave No Trace is not really practiced by other campers so feel free to pick up after someone else this space is beautiful and deserves respect. I enjoyed the rain and the view it was very relaxing and I appreciated a shower as well as powering all my extras before heading on the road to Minnesota. $14 for the space very appreciate.

Discount with National Park pass
Shady
Quiet
Dark sky friendly
Nice metal roof cover over concrete picnic table
Saw park ranger drive thru during daylight
2 bars T-MOBILE
Successful streaming with T-MOBILE hotspot device
Cons
So day #2 without any TP in men’s restroom. Went to front gate to report it and was told they would call it into the Army Corps of Engineers as gate volunteers have no stock of TP on hand. Never saw any TP before leaving on third day
Toilet facility #1 women’s had raw sewage throughout deep enough to cover your foot. Site 11 has electrical hook up at rear on the door side of the camper
Site 11 water connection is centered at the rear of the parking pad.
Site 11 unlevel.
Numerous piles of charcoal ash throughout site 11 campsite not in the fire pit.
Concrete picnic table needs degreased as surface has lots of large greasy stain
Site numbers are painted on the concrete picnic table so extremely difficult to see in the dark.
No WIFI
Scout
Well maintained, tons of activities for our 5yr old grandson. Only issue is the playground is adjacent to main road in campground and vehicles do not stop at stop signs it’s either not prominent enough or people don’t care. Should be more visible with a painted crosswalk our better signage
GuideWe stayed in the month of November. It was cold and rainy but the park did not disappoint. The bathrooms as so clean. The park itself is gated and secure. Each shower has its own toilet and vanity behind a lockable door. Our campsite (532) was a little awkward to get in because of the corner and the speed bumps, but not impossible. There is a pond with a fountain and a HUGE fireplace (not fire pit) for relaxing. We will definitely be back.
Guide
The park was really nice. The sites were spaced apart well but not very level. Our site backed up to the lake. We only stayed overnight while traveling. The price was great with a NP Access pass. Had water and 30amp electric. Park had an RV dump. Quiet and very family friendly.
Traveler
I had a awesome time I def can say it offered a really unique experience it was safe and comfortable also ;)
GuideNot sure what we were expecting, but it was not half bad. Lots of things to do if you have kids, but it stops there. Really no place to through anything away or walk the dogs. Space was great, and tons of room, but lots of construction noise.
LegendThe park sites are beautiful. The lake is beautiful. The signage and routing are substandard. Very confusing and the turns are extremely tight. I do not recommend people with motorhome over 40 feet come here. That’s why I give this 4 out of 5 stars
GuideOverall the lake and wooded areas are good for a day’s enjoyment however the facility is not maintained. The bath houses are completely neglected. The light in the ladies BH is flickering so badly it was disorientIng, one shower did not work at all, toilets have no “seat”, and it is overrun with bugs (more than the normal campground). The gate entrance attendant is rude and unhelpful. No sewer hook ups at site so “community” dumping is necessary. The community dump is run down too with broken equipment and bent connections. Finally, for the camp charges $10/car/day. We have a drivable RV and rented a car so not only did we pay for the site but then paid more to have our car. Not going to stay here again.
GuideOverall the lake and wooded areas are good for a day’s enjoyment however the facility is not maintained. Also the entire park is huge so things are not within walking distance so if you don’t have wheels you’ll have to unhook for hike a good long distance to amenities. The bath houses in Loop E are completely neglected.

We have a drivable RV and rented a car so not only did we pay for the site but then paid more to have our car. Not going to stay here again. After dealing with E loop for a couple days we requested to move to A loop. A loop was much better but we were charged $20/day for the “upgrade”. A loop bath house was definitely better but still unimpressive. Office staff was friendlier and helpful (not gate employee).

Doesn’t have a lot of bells and whistles but does have sewer, lake views, wide open spaces, and clean! Great food places nearby. Only drawbacks are I level sites and front gates don’t open til 10am every morning so can’t get back in if you go get breakfast.
TravelerPlenty of room to stretch out. Lots of room to walk the dog. Great atmosphere
ScoutA nice park with like new facilities, clean, and good location to area stores. No pool.
GuideLove love love this place. We had site 38 and loved it. The sites were separated with enough space that you didnt feel on top of each other. Power was steady, water had great pressure. The only issue was the weather. We hunkered down for 2 days during and ice storm. Wow! The showers were clean and the laundry I room was spotless. A definite return stop on our list.
Scout
We stopped by here and unfortunately they were not open. It looks like a beautiful place and there sign says open April-September.
ScoutInternet is great, bathrooms are clean, staff is nice!
ScoutVery easy to book. Very confusing check-in procedures. Buildings and sites are barely marked and readable in the daytime, definitely not readable at dusk or nighttime. I arrived around 4:30 pm. Several teenagers being trained by other teenagers. The driveway to the sites are all engraved on wood and very hard to decipher which drive to turn into. The site #’s are clear, especially the third time around and understanding their # system. I have a pull through site and I’m unable to pull all the way through due to tree limbs being too low. Filling the propane was another fiasco. I had to drive all the way around the campground and go the opposite way of traffic to fill my tank. This feels like an amusement park just waiting on the summer. It is clean, a little road noise from the interstate. Gravel pads are level hookup’s were easy. Temps are in the low 30’s at night so not much to do here. I will bring my granddaughter back in the summer when everything is available.
TravelerThere are ample spots, very spread out—although there is not any kind of screening between sights. Covered picnic tables and fire rings, big boat launch and lovely views of the lake.
ScoutWe planned on staying a week waiting for our home to be built and three weeks of delays later we are 100% enjoying our stay. The owners/management have been wonderful and accommodating and the park is BEAUTIFUL.
