We stayed here long term for work, in our camper trailer. This is a great place, for long or short stays. All sorts of rigs, maybe not quite the place for tents. The owner is very kind. The property is well maintained. Gravel pads, with all the hook ups. It's great not having to move to drain the tanks. There is a community area called the scale house, indoor and outdoor chill spots to enjoy the scenery. A small shower/laundry house, and overflow parking for boats, extra vehicles, etc. The creek runs along side the campground, and herds of sheep roam across the creek with friendly and protective sheep dogs. You can fish in the creek and in the pond located within the sheep field. We really enjoyed this spot.

We are a small family with dogs and camp primarily on weekends. The road to the campsite is full of potholes. Once there, the campsite was quiet and comfortable. No hiking nearby but nice views of the lake and a marina full of interesting houseboats; some boats in the morning are loud out on the lake. Not too many obvious long term people, neat campsites. Plenty of people fishing. We stayed in A68 but I think the sites at the end would be better so far as lake views. Bathrooms could be cleaner. Some fire ants but it’s Texas. Saw plenty of wildlife (raccoon, skunks, deer, toad, waterbirds). Short drive to Waco and the Mammoth National Monument (which has RV parking).

Just outside of temple this location has great access for visiting the event center. Design for RVs only the quick access on and off of the highway are both a blessing and a curse.
When I visited the location and spoke to management they did say there was no tent access at this location. They do allow overnight RV stay although most of the people who stay here or more long term residents.
The grounds themselves feel somewhat compact not a lot of green grass vegetation makes for a dusty campground.
The staff was very nice and seemed welcoming. Explained amenities which include a small bathroom and shower house and laundry. They do offer mail service for nomads looking to settle for more than a couple days who need to have gear shipping or long term stay residents.
The negative for me was the road noise. When I was there is was pretty extreme. I added a video to share how much traffic passes pretty much all the time.
I would suggest this if you need a couple days stay close to Temple but personally wouldn’t recommend long term or could opt for a place a bit more off the main road, there are other options in the area which offer much quieter accommodations.
Guide
This park was extremely quiet when I was there. The spring which "never dries up" wad salt dry when I was there, the first time as far as anyone can remember. The bird activity was great, and the trails were well maintained and easy to follow. Very historic site, the first state park in Texas. Campground has level sites with full hook up.
TravelerEast access to a quiet, beautiful place to stay in the country. Bring your fishing pole-both a creek and lake for guests to catch and release. Everyone we talked to was very friendly and welcoming. Stayed one night and took advantage of the hot shower, laundry, and fishing. Highly recommend. Not fancy, just well done. This is a working ranch with an RV park on it. A must stay if you are in the area. With Good Sam it was $33.75/night. Reservation only.
Legend
Lots of clean campsites with improved fire rings and concrete tables. There are full RV hookups and covered awnings at sites. There are plenty of showers, both pit and modern toilets, shared bathrooms, and private bathrooms. There are everal Beach areas with sand and awnings, covered playgrounds, and boat ramps. This is a pretty popular campground, so if you're looking for isolated this is probably not your spot. Bring bug spray, buy your firewood in Corsicana or Waco as there isn't any wood in Dawson. You can collect deadfall to burn.
GuideStayed at this park for a month and a half while working out of Temple. Managers were extremely nice lots are huge they had quite a few long term residents. Easy access to I-35 and a huge buckeys just up the road.

We stopped here for the night on our way West. The RV park is gated and you need an access code to get in. Stopped at the gate and called to get the code. We were told to take any spot we wanted except for 25 and 26. Found a great spot under a huge covered shelter which was great for shade on this 95 degree day. Sites are gravel with full hookups including cable. Free WiFi too. This place is mostly filled with perms, but there were 5-6 empty sites to pick from. Our site was level and it looked like most were. There is an ice and water vending machine just before the entrance. There is a laundromat that looked very clean. $1.50 to wash. I wouldn’t stay here more than a night, but it’s just fine for a travel stop. Passport America rate is $15. You put payment in a mailbox near the front.
ScoutIt’s quite a small park which makes it nice and peaceful. The campsites are spacious, clean and very well maintained. Full hook-ups and very level. Clean bathrooms and facilities. Park staff and hosts were friendly and helpful. There is not a lot to do in the general area, but having a nice quiet getaway is often a welcome experience. Nice and easily traveled hiking trails along with a nice pond area for evening wildlife viewing. There is also an old Indian cave and wash pond. One of Texas’ first and nicest state parks.
LegendThere is nothing I like more than finding a nice place to retreat from a city which allows the comfort of the outdoors and relaxation with the convenience of the neighboring city amenities. It is the perfect blend of both worlds.
This can be a bit difficult for a tent camper however, so again I was able to find an ideal location for my RVing friends at this site. Normally that would instantly lower my rating because I cannot personally utilize the location at this time without a rig, however this site was so impressive I couldn't steer away!
Pulling up to the park the gate is grand. The park itself sits a short 5 minutes away from the city on a quiet road. The park is expansive and the accommodations rest several hundred yards away from the traffic of the small country road. It is so peaceful!!
Sites seemed to be spread nicely to have the sense of community but not being to close to form crowding. Each space is separated by a grassy area which accommodates a picnic table and has enough room for a little stretching room.
When I visited all of the units there seemed to be very well maintained and even though they do have both overnight and long term stay options, nothing seemed to have the "moved in" look (no underpinnings, no long sewage hoses typical of long term parks).
I was very excited to see the large area for walking your dogs, area which allowed space to play and roam, a pond to fish in or to enjoy, a fire pit for community use and very nice shower and laundry facilities.
The roads around the park were wide and well maintained, the green spaces were manicured well and as I visited people were all very friendly. It made me want an RV just so I could visit!
Tips:
To stay at this park make sure you make reservations ahead of time. While there is plenty of space, they do fill up and reservations will ensure your stay especially during the more populated seasons.
Take advantage of the free wifi when here, just pulling in I checked it out and noticed it was pretty decent from all areas of the park.
Bring your fishing poles! This park has a variety of fish in the stocked pond perfect for a relaxing day at the park.

All the pads are concrete and are for the most part level (2x6 under tires or less). Sites are pretty good size and come with a picnic table and overhead cover for it. Deer are everywhere. Has two dump stations on either side of the park. Lots of trees in the Deer Park area. Lots of full timers in the the limited full hook up sites. It’s quiet and pretty clean. Rates are very reasonable. Could use some updating. There is no WiFi and cell service is very limited.

We tent camped in a primitive spot #47. Overall the spot was nice but not very level making the best placement of our large tent a bit of a challenge. Vault toilets were clean and had hand sanitizer. The nature and hiking in this park was our favorite part. Even rented a canoe and paddled across the lake to the river. Park staff were friendly and helpful. Some primitive tent sites are right on the edge of the lake and after a big rain were very swampy. I believe all sites had partial shade and some have more privacy than others. We did spot some full hook up sites in the RV section that have good space for a tent set up and we may try that next time cause we definitely will be back.

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,

This is a great little lake and campground, especially for fishing and boating. The campground offers nice, secluded campsites with full hook-ups. They each have a table & fire pit. The campsites are clean and well maintained. There are several fishing piers and boat loading docks. The lake is clean and great for tubing, standup paddle boarding or just swimming. There is also a roped off designated swimming area with a small beach. The campground is usually not crowded except for big summer holidays. Lots of wildlife like deer, etc. The public restroom & showers are clean and well kept. There also is a dumping station and a park host is on duty 24 hours a day. No hiking though but walking around the lake is really enjoyable. Bring your own water crafts because there isn’t any rentals offered here. Very low key & enjoyable.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐**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.

If you want a quiet place that’s not at a busy and crammed RV park, this is the spot! Close to everything Waco.

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.
Traveler
Clean and quiet. I probably wouldn’t stop here again tent camping in the winter. Random windstorm 30mph no way really to block it. I felt like it was more of an RV park. Plenty of deer and pretty view of the lake. Clean restrooms.

We stayed at Salado sky Rv park for a little over 6 months and it was absolutely lovely!! The park hosts are Amazing! They do such a great job keeping things tidy, and making sure it’s a pleasant experience for all. They host campfires regularly which was super fun! Many of the people there have become our friends.
RangerDecent little RV Park by Lake Waco. We stayed here during 20-degree weather in December, and it was½ vacant. It seems like it would be a happening lake party spot in the summer since it’s close to the marina with a bunch of docked house boats. Our indoor cats loved the birds and the deer that walked by our back window. You must use the gate code to both enter and leave the property. We had low water pressure during the freeze, and it came back normal after the temperatures came back up. We had a consistent issue with our electricity having high and low voltage. Our Watchdog surge protector was reading as high as 132 during the evening and drop below 110 during the day. The sign on the bathroom building says you can’t come and go after 11pm. That’s something that would be important for us to know since we travel for work and some of our contacts are night shifts.
Guide
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.
LegendAshley here from The Dyrt! It was great to add this campground with plenty of lodging types. From cottages to RV spaces, they have it all. Book your stay today and come back here to leave a review!

Airport Park on Lake Waco, in Waco, TX. We really like this park. We were in site 27, which our camp side is shady during the afternoon and evening. Each site has a fire ring, bbq grill, & lantern post. The RV parking pad is asphalt and long. Big Rigs would have no problems here. When we arrived the gravel pad was raked all nice and neat. 50 amp sites are $26 a night. The loop we are in doesn't have the nice restrooms. We are in the loop that has sites 16 - 36. To me, these are the nicer RV sites, if only the restrooms were better. The other 2 loops have really nice restrooms, with private shower rooms. Site 24 looks to be the pick, as it has shade pretty much all day. We will definitely come back to this camp ground.
ScoutMy family camped out here for memorial weekend. We ended up near the entrance with full hookups for our Trailer. The spot are decent didn’t mind the area we were at. My only thing is the area could be better maintained. Playground had weeds and tall grass growing within the play area. Trees around the spots could use a pruning. The lake beach area wasn’t open for swimming due to a Lifeguard shortage. Overall though we had a great time for our first outing in our trailer though. The area is quiet.
Guide
This is just flat out a beautiful, no frills park. It is water and electric only. There are some primitive sites but there are not full hookups. The sites along the water give amazing sunset and sunrise views. Our site was right on the water allowing us to fish from our spot. There aren’t any activities and there aren’t a lot of trails but there is tons of wildlife. You will see large groups of deer, turkey etc just wandering around.
LegendLiberty hill is a very beautiful campground but there is a serius issue with the invasive Argentian ant. This is a great campground to spend a few days or weeks relaxing and catching fish. Lake Navarro Mills is well know as the best Crappie fishing lake in Texas. Navarro Mills Liberty Hill Park features a fantastic fishing barge that is covered allowing you to fish no matter the weather. Our visit to Liberty Hill Park at Navarro Mills Lake was a real treat with one minor exception, Argentine Ants, these can be a real issue when RV camping at Liberty Hill Park as this invasive species is out of control at Liberty Hill Park.

GuideBasically full hookup parking lot within a storage facility. Rented space and realized that had to have code for bathroom after hours, so couldn’t use. Staff only there to take money, no other help at all.
