4. Steele Creek Park
Whitney Lake, Texas6 Reviews•23 Photos•102 SavesThis is a great primitive beach area. There is adequate parking at this ramp. This is one of the three ramps on the lake that are functional when the lake drops to 16 feet low. Steele Creek Park is a Corps of Engineering park which offers primitive camping and there are limited facilities in the Park. The park is located just south of Morgan and Lakeside Marina. It is an open access Park. There are two primary areas of the park. The first is on the river channel side of the park and is on the north side of the Steele Creek Park. This area has great camp sites on a bluff overlooking the lake. This side also has some good natural beach area below the camp sites. The southern section of the park overlooks Steele Creek itself. This is a brushy creek and while there is some swimming areas available, it is not as swim friendly as the other side. Each side of the park has a boat ramp. This is a remote park area and is patrolled on some frequency by the Sheriff’s Department. Boat launching is FREE at both ramps.

Copperas Creek at Proctor Lake
Copperas Creek COE
Copperas Creek COE in Comanche, TX (Lake Proctor) Site #63 50 amp Full hook up Back-in site March 2024
Beautiful park! The lady working the gate should have her picture in the dictionary under customer service. Very pleasant & welcoming!
The site has lots of shade trees with a view of the lake (not lakeside). Sites are not on top of each other, but no type of barrier between sites. Water had a terrible smell.
Despite it being the beginning of spring break in Texas & the amount of people here, it is fairly quiet.
If you’re camping with others, there are 3 double RV sites on this end of the park.
Would definitely come back here again. — at Copperas Creek Park.

Beautiful in Spring
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.

Family & adult friendly
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!

Decent campground, rude patrons
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.

Weekend trip
We 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

Very Nice Small State Park
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.

Everyone should that nice!
From the moment we spoke to them on the phone late in the afternoon, to the moment we left the next morning, these were the kindess people we have met in Texas. The facilities and grounds are clean and very fresh looking. The only issue i might mention, if it not a sacrilege to add a negative thought is that the noise from the highway does not belong there. But I sure am glad we found on the side of the highway.

Thousand Trails Lake Whitney
Quiet campground
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.

Steele Creek Park
Beautiful campground!
Stayed here for about a week. It's sooo beautiful and peaceful! I can't remember the site number, but it was overlooking the water. I went fishing several times but never caught anything, despite seeing a lot of activity in the water. But that's okay because it was fun either way. I travel pretty self-contained but it was nice to be able to grab some water as needed.
The wind was crazy a few nights. I had to put a tarp over my tent and pray lol! There were caterpillars all over that would sting... a mighty sting! All in all, it was a wonderful time and I'll definitely be going back again!

Safe overnight
We are headed south. I look for spots close to interstate. The park is clean, well kept and no appearance of lost long timers. The attendant put us in spot 59 across the street from the dog park. But more importantly a big open field with a walking path around it. Made our fur babies happy. I get in a hurry when we are moving again so we did not try the breakfast. I'm sure it was great. Definitely, a place to stop along Texas I-35 south of Dallas.

Dinosaur Valley SP
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.
Jessica F.GuideAirport Park - Waco Lake
Beautiful nature park
We really enjoyed the nature at this park. Sunsets on Lake Waco are mesmerizing. The deer wander right out to the road at dusk. We started out in the second section of sites however the bathrooms were closed completely for construction (looks like a brand new building) so we moved to the first section. Bathrooms worked fine and were relatively clean, just typical campground stuff- bugs and some dirt. Site 15 is up a hill so you’ve got a great view of the lake. The fallen trees and rocks make for great exploration and photos. We extended our stay and moved sites to site 57. There’s no sewer hook up there but man the views! Large open grassy area with beautiful twisty trees and a little beach area. We put our camp chairs near the little cliff to sit. Park is very very quiet and peaceful! Watched hawks and lions catch fish. The wind can be a bit much at times but it was fine. This back section of bathrooms was awful- first has a door missing, one had the shower knob missing, another very dirty and mildewy. Gave my husband and daughter sneezing fits. One you had to torque the shower handle and twist weird to get it to work, someone couldn’t shut it off one night and it was left on until morning when my husband got it turned off. The handicap bathroom wasn’t functional. The women’s bathroom seemed to be cleaned every other day but I don’t think the showers were touched. Other than that we enjoyed it a lot! Dump station works great and the gal at the gate was super sweet. Gates close at 10pm and you can not get back in until 6am. No idea why that’s a thing but that’s the rule.

Good stop
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

Trails and Deer!
We 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!
Charly S.GuideDinosaur Valley State Park — Dinosaur Valley State Park
What a great park for families!
I have visited this park several times, and it was my first state park to explore when I was a kid. The Paluxy river runs through this park. When there’s been plenty of rain there are lots of places to swim! The blue hole is my favorite swimming area in this park, it has some deep areas, and I’ve heard of some undertows being there, so children should be supervised closely. There are some large rocks jutting out over some deep water in this area that are fun to jump from! To get to the hike in sites, be prepared to wade through the river. I believe it is a 2 mile hike to get to the most remote primitive site. Also, when the river is low you can see lots of dinosaur tracks! If you have extra time in Glen Rose, Fossil Rim is right around the corner! Both Dinosaur Valley and Fossil Rim are great places to take kiddos.
Jake H.ScoutLake Whitney State Park Campground
Good state park site
Really nice sites to park and camp. Lake is beautiful but rocky shoreline. Only nit-picky thing is that the tent pads between me and my neighbor were pretty close, but hey - it’s a state park. The bathrooms were also further than you’d want to walk. Overall, good experience though!

Fantastic lakeside overlook
We pulled up about 8pm and snagged one of the northern campsites just in time to watch the sunset over the water from our elevated overlook.
We only stayed the one night but it was a quiet spot with trees on all sides and a small covered bench table and plenty of parking for two-three small vehicles or one larger camper.
Fantastic sunrise and sunset in September!

Love this COE campground located off of Lake Whitney, open year round. About an hour from Fort Worth and Waco. Most sites are heavily shaded, with plenty of solar charging, too. Each site has a table (most are covered), with fire pits. Water is spaced evenly between sites. Both loops have pit toilets and dumpsters, as well as a boat launch. Popular place to launch and lots of day use. Flies can be a nuisance. T-mobile service is great. We were able to get work and attend virtual classes.

Fun for a family, but not so much for a couple
Not 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.
