CONs: Typical RV park, tight spaces, minimal privacy

Midway Pines RV Park is indeed a gem! The peaceful atmosphere, beautiful surroundings, and well-maintained facilities make it an ideal spot for a relaxing getaway. I totally understand why you feel so comfortable there. Speaking of relaxing, if you're looking to pass the time while you're enjoying the serene vibes, I highly recommend checking out the Traffic Rider app. It's a fun and immersive way to experience motorbike riding through beautiful landscapes, just like the ones around the park! Give it a try during your next visit—it's the perfect way to unwind!
ScoutThis is a very beautiful park and I really like this place, the atmosphere and everything is nyt strands great and it makes me feel very comfortable.

If you like a laid back approach to camping, this place is it. They advertise "farm fresh eggs" at the bait shop, and though we didn't partake, we know they were serious because of the chickens that were roaming the grounds. One of them inspected the storage bay of my travel trailer while I was setting up! We arrived about 4 p.m., and there was no one around to check in with, I think because of a family emergency of some sort. So I just picked one of the open RV lots and backed in. When I did check in later with Amy, she said "no problem" with the lot I picked. Like I say, "laid back"!

I thought the wildflowers were the greatest feature, and then we caught sight of an angelic band of pelicans just overhead on a migratory flight - a very moving sight I will never forget.

We screwed up and booked a different spot and our camper was too long. Oakdale was able to accommodate us on short notice. The staff was friendly and informative. Our kids had a great time in the expansive pool and enjoyed the snow cone stand across the street. The adult enjoyed the well-stocked pool bar!
Ranger
The facilities at the campground are great, but other people there were extremely rude. Dino tracks are very cool! Pretty crappy cell service in our site.

ScoutNice park make sure to watch for branches when leaving as some can be low by the headquarters.
GuideWe made a quick weekend trip to the local state park. Great clean park with a nice boat ramp. This is our home lake so we wanted to visit the state park. Would go back for a weekend trip for sure

Stayed here in the family camper for four nights in early Aug, 2023 and was blown away by the amazing service. They answered all our questions kindly and when the fridge broke down in our camper they even called out a local Waco company here to come out and fix it for us. 5/5 stars!
Ranger
There may not be a lot of trails, but they are very nice. The sites are oddly level, even though they do not look like they would be.
Site 01 is a great spot, that feels about the most secluded.
Watch out for all the spider webs on the trails, if you hike early in the morning... We camped at Meridian State Park in a 28 foot Travel Trailer.
TravelerThis place was just downright amazing. It was our first RV trip and James was so helpful!! The roads were extra wide and every site was pull through! They have thought of everything here. The cabins and treehouses are just adorable and shine on the lake at night. I felt extremely safe as a solo female traveler with a kiddo in tow. Not a speck of trash in sight! I think we have been spoiled for every other campsite now!! I HIGHLY recommend this place. The bathrooms and showers were cleaner than my own at home!!
Traveler10/10 would recommend. Booking was easy and the park was amazing. Situated right on the river with convenient access. The private bath house and adult pool was definitely a perk. They also had live music during our visit which was a pleasant surprise.
Guide
The campground is out a little ways away from the city, but close enough that you can make a day trip to Waco or Fort Worth. The road in and around campsites is in various states of disrepair. Lots of potholes and pavement breaks make it rough hauling an expensive rig in and out of the park. They were patching some of the potholes while we were there.
Otherwise, it’s quiet with a pool, mini golf, playground, etc. It’s not fancy by any means, and not well kept up, but if you are interested in a quiet spot in the woods with plenty of hiking trails, then this is a great spot.
Legend7 pull through sites. Very nice.

So wanted to see the dinosaur tracks! But it rained before we arrived and they were all under water. The trails on the other side of the river were all closed, mud and treacherous terrain. The inner trail takes you along the river and has several signs with information. The campsites are nestled in the foliage and nice spacing between. You can totally get the crustaceous era feel going. The foliage is also a nice noise damper. Electric and water plus hook thing at each site. Didn’t see any modern time critters during our visit, there were raccoon tracks on the trails and one deer track. Easy ride (bike) road through the campground. Older but well maintained showerhouse. The primitive camping is right on the river and remote sites are available. Dinosaur World is right down the road which would be cool with kids. Go learn about and then actually walk where the dinosaurs did. I am totally visiting again, I want to see the tracks.

This is a down home friendly place within minutes of anything you need in Stephenville, Texas. It has two full bathrooms complete with showers, work out room, washer and dryers and an area for meetings. An outside area under a huge pecan tree with small tables and chairs for hanging out with friends. There is a walking trail that’s not quite a half a mile. Two huge dog areas with lots of grass. The owners are super friendly and will respond to your needs.
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
LegendWe were in site 020, electric only. No shade in this spot! Needed 2 blocks on the left side to level. Play ground, hiking, beautiful river! Many deer walking through the park. We were only here for one night, really wish we had longer to explore!
LegendThis campground is very family oriented, playgrounds, a "real" fort, teepee, basketball court, hiking trails, and a huge family pool. There's also a grown up only pool with a hot tub! Laundry room was very clean, as were the showers. We were in site 414 which was mostly level pea gravel. Picnic table and fire ring were on this full hookup site.
Traveler
We stayed at Poplar Point loop on the lake. A beautiful view out our bedroom window. It rained hard one night, but the steep grade toward the lake kept the sites from puddling. The Coyote Run hiking trail was moderately difficult and had a great view at the end. I’d give it more stars, except (1) most sites (at least at Poplar Point) are not level, (2) it’s not inexpensive, and (3) there is no cell service except for the occasional partial bar that we could text through. Great if you want to go off-grid, but it makes us very uncomfortable. Luckily the host was right across the way. They have cell booster infrastructure in place, but it was 3G and went down when AT&T stopped supporting it. I hope they upgrade it soon so we can go back.
