    Nice little park

    Nice and pretty quiet park despite it being so close to town and freeways.

    Whitney Rose rv park

    Disappointed

    There are spacious sites but the amenities leave something to be desired. The showers weren’t that clean and there are no restrooms. I had to call for the code to get into the showers and WiFi access. It seems these should have been in the confirmation emails.

    Well kept RV Park

    Well kept RV Park with friendly staff. This park sports an "old side" and "new side". It offers covered sites (extra cost), propane fill station, dumpsters, bath/toilet houses, laundry room, dog park, pool with sun or shaded seating, small storefront, WiFi & cable, free waffle breakfasts on the weekends and a fishing pond. Located just off the highway makes for an easy commute for work or adventures. Some of the sites are quite cramped. It took 20 minutes to get into our spot due to many trees and other campers/ vehicles. Spent one week here and probably would not stay here again due the very loud traffic noises.

    Great place to stay!

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐**Wonderful Stay at Whitney Rose RV Park!⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐** Our experience at Whitney Rose RV Park was nothing short of fantastic! The park offered spacious and well-maintained RV sites that provided a comfortable retreat during our stay. The amenities were excellent, including clean showers, reliable WiFi, and a fantastic dog park that our furry companion thoroughly enjoyed. The atmosphere was friendly and welcoming, with fellow RVers sharing stories and enjoying the peaceful surroundings. We had a great time exploring the nearby hiking trails and taking part in the various activities the park offered. Whitney Rose RV Park provided us with a relaxing getaway, and we look forward to visiting again soon.

    Tradinghouse Lake Park Camping

    Also called McLennan County Park

    It threw me off when I saw the name difference, but yes, McLennan County Park is the same place as Tradinghouse. I saw on a website that camping wasn't allowed, but this is said it is. I called the McLennan County Sheriff and they said, "Yeah, people camp there all the time." So that's awesome. Free to camp, too, and now I have a place to stay to ping pong between here and Whitney every 14 days.

    Very Nice Park Next to Interstate 35

    This is a very nice park that is located next to Interstate 35, so expect some highway noise. That doesn't bother us, and we had a lovely stay. Emily came quickly to meet us near the office after we called the number on the sign. She had us wait while she drove around to make sure we had a nicely shaded site with temperatures expected to be around 100°. Emily then guided us to the site and helped line up our RV for utilities and slide clearances. She was very friendly stayed to chat and make recommendations on things to do and places to eat. The park is well-kept and the sites all looked to have plenty of shade. Still, we were able to use our Starlink dish on the ground behind Site 138 with no drop-outs. Water pressure was good but a little lower one morning when the irrigation system was running. We will happily stay here again the next time we come through Waco!

    calm environment, quiet with helpful hosts

    We stayed at north Crest during a summer heat wave,   The well kept grounds provided natural shade to keep our camper cool.  The hosts were extremely helpful and gave us a quick call when they discovered we forgot some important equipment.  The bathhouse is amazing with two full baths in total privacy.  Can be used a family baths.

    Quiet little spot

    Great spot with easy in and out from the interstate.  HUGE pull through spaces with picnic tables. Convenient to Waco. Will definitely stay again when in town.

    Beautiful lakeside spots!

    Got in around 11pm on a Friday night and there were plenty of spots open. Woke up to an incredible view and more people around (but still not too crowded). Great spot for boating & fishing too.

    Beautiful Park

    I have to admit I was a bit worried about the location due to the interstate being so close but it didn’t bother us a bit! The park is immaculate from the roads to the landscaping. You can tell Emily and her father really take pride in making it a park you will definitely visit again and again!

    Fantastic stay!

    We met Emily and her dad, both are really nice and accommodating. They even left a Christmas present on our door for us. The spots are huge and the park is well maintained and quiet. We will definitely stay again.

    Lake Limestone Campground and Marina

    Diamond in the Rough

    The new owners are going all out to make this a family friendly RV park/campground/marina. Only having it for 14 months, you can see the improvements made. There is a store on site for all your needs, that includes wine from the owners own winery. There a a grill also on sight. The campground is gravel pad sites that are mostly level (try site3). They have cabins if you don’t have a RV. Very friendly and eager to make your stay wonderful.

    Our visit was a week before Christmas and the decorations were up and beautiful. Give them a try, as we give them a recommendation.

    Really a nice park. Sites are level and most have a good bit of shade

    Well worth a stop.  Cement pads. very nice and level. Most of the sites have a good bit of shade. No internet, but typical for a park. Beautiful sunsets over the lake and just a few minutes to everything Waco

    Good "Safari Park" ... marginal "RV Park" with poor access for RVs.

    Interesting and enjoyable safari park with a good variety of animals. No self-driving through the park as in others we have been to. This one requires tickets, and a ride in a "side-by-side" Gator or similar vehicle with a very knowledgeable and friendly guide.  RV park is simply a gravel parking lot with hookups poorly placed completely at the rear of the site. 50a electric hookup only, so bring an adapter if you need 20a or 30a, and there is no breaker at post. Sewer is behind the power pole, so you need enough sewer hose to reach the rear of the site, and then around the post ... my 15' hose barely made it.  Much or the original park that opened 6-8 months ago is now taken up with equipment, and the individual who checked us in said they were "phasing out" the RV parking ... that is just as well I think.  What we were told is the recommended access route includes a very old looking one-lane 10 ton bridge. We came in further north and my passengers told me later that we crossed a (much nicer looking) 7 ton bridge on that route. Ours is a 7 ton rig, so we took the 10 ton bridge when leaving, and lightly drug the rear of our RV getting onto the bridge.  Sure glad we were not in our former 20 ton rig!!  I believe there is another route from US 84 that would avoid either of these bridges.  We paid $100 per night for this experience,

    Lovely location, limited bathhouse

    This is a lovely creekside campground. The campground is well kept. Sites are gravel and pretty level. No WiFi. Bathhouse is clean and pretty new but there is one each Mens and women’s bathroom and shower for a long thin park. From our site to the bathhouse was 3 tenths of a mile.

    Mother Neff State Park

    Very well maintained, friendly, and peaceful

    Check in was easy. They called that morning to confirm details in order to expedite the process. Site 20 was level and exceptionally tidy. They rake out the crushed granite after guests leave, and it looks pristine. Bathrooms, and all other buildings are fairly new and very nice. Everything was clean and tidy. Staff were all friendly. There were some nice shortish trails that worked well for our dogs. Can’t say enough good things about this park.
