"Wish they would change the name to Meridian State Park instead of just Meridian on here. Very nice, small, peaceful park. There are 8 pull thru sites with full hookups, including 50 amp. "
"Meridian SP is such a hidden gem. If you’re not a fan of the Texas heat they just added one limited use cabin in addition to RV, tent and screened shelter sites."
$18 - $70 / night
"There is an on-site store, as well as galleries that talk about what it was like when dinosaurs roamed N Texas. The tracks don’t disappoint!"
"Pets allowed, shady sites. Some sites have good wifi (verizon and at&t) with a booster. The dino prints are worth the trip. Nice gift shop, take pics with the big dino statues."
$14 - $50 / night
"Family and pet friendly. Wind off of the lake was amazing, bathrooms were clean and nice to use. Campground was clean."
"It has been raining non stop all over Texas. I began to look for places within 2 hours of Fort Worth. Texas State Parks are a great. I settled on Lake Whitney."
"* Water facets near most sites.
Most sites a quite private with trees between them. There are 2 bathrooms, and a porta-potty. 2 boat ramps, and pavilions over the picnic tables."
"Beautiful lake."
$16 - $45 / night
"I had a spot right next to the lake where I kayaked, biked, and just walked with the dogs. Highly recommend!"
"The hidden gem of Lake Whitney. Tent sites are tucked in the back of the park away from foot traffic and most vehicles."
"Entry gate closes at 10pm, but there is an exit gate always open. My visit was during a Texas’ rainy stretch and lake levels were on the rise flooding out the lower sites."
"Gorgeous view of the lake with nearby restroom. Drive a bit further than the pinned location towards the lake on the right. I saw a few other tenters, car campers, and RVs."
$28 - $140 / night
"Cedron Creek park set off Lake Whitney , outside of Whitney , TX . We had lot 27 , the back of the loop. Kinda secluded. Threw out corn and the deer come in and feed along with squirrels ."
"Some sites are a little close together and not many are close to water."
$20 - $450 / night
"We were able to do quite a bit of hiking and really enjoyed the variety of trails. We saw big cats on the trail at a distance and that was a thrill! Lots of other wild life too!"
"We had a great site on a loop close to the restrooms (which is a plus). We roasted hot dogs, played games, went hiking, and had an all around good time."
$16 - $80 / night
"This is one of the better COE campgrounds on Lake Whitney."
"We stayed at site 63 which is right on lake edge. Amazing sunsets. Across inlet from boat ramp. The sites have covered picnic tables with both fire pits with grates and stand up covered grills."
TravelerGreat for the family! Has 80 ft pull through with full hookup. Five cabins. Two swimming pools and hot tub. River and state park access. Nice store and friendly staff. Bathhouse, dog park, playground. Weekend activities like movie night, s’mores, hay rides, and petting zoo. Very clean.
GuideWe 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.
GuideSites are level, clean and have full hookups. Staff is very friendly, there is a pool, hot tub, small bike park, dog park and weekend activities. right next to Dinosaur Valley State park and dinosaur world and short drive from Fossil Rim. This is our second stay and will definitely be back.
GuideThis typically isn’t our type of park but the kids enjoyed it. We went in October and they had some fun Halloween activities. Site was pull through but pretty tight and close to neighbor. Probably worth paying for premium. Nice large dog park and clean restrooms/bathhouse.
GuideWas there attending races at HoT Speedway. Propane refill, nice driveway, easy to navigate campground, two dog parks, lots of open land to go roam, pool.
Oh yeah, breakfast is AWESOME! We payed more than if we woulda gone out because we were so impressed. But, it was technically free breakfast.
Scout⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐**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.
GuideWell 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.
ScoutMy husband and I stayed at Dinosaur Valley RV Park (DVRVP) on two separate occasions in last four weeks. We stayed 1 night during our first time at DVRVP and 2 nights during our second stay.
Here are our pros: 1.) DVRVP shares a property line with DVSP. Guests are able to purchase a day pass online through the DVSP website and access DVSP without ever having to drive through the front entrance. It was a simple 1 minute walk to access the park through DVRVP.
2.) You do not have to enter DVSP to enjoy the Paluxy River. Guests of DVRVP can access the river by following a small trail at one corner of the park by the entrance of DVSP. Our family spent a whole day in the river a minute walk from our camper.
3.) Dinosaur World is across the street.
4.) DVRVP is a family owned and operated business. The service was friendly! We wanted to add a. Additional day. We called and left a message. Moments later we received a return phone call. We were placed on a wait list. A few hours later we received another phone call let us know they were able to add an additional day to our visit.
5.) The sites are pull in and leveled for the most part. Both sites we stayed at were clean, free of trash and pet waste. The fire pits had been cleaned out. Connections are conveniently placed on driver side and we’re cleaned.
6.) DVRVP staff hosts several family friendly activities for guests throughout the day, everyday.
7.) DVRVP has a playground, swimming pool, hot tub, fire pit and plenty of green space for kids to roam and explore.
8.) Pet Friendly!
9.) No RV age restrictions! We saw old to new class A’s to C’s and towable’s.
Here are our cons:
1.) 2 pet limit per site. We would love to bring all three of our dogs. One is tiny and is an incident dog.
GuideThis is a great place to bring kids. There is an on-site store, as well as galleries that talk about what it was like when dinosaurs roamed N Texas. The tracks don’t disappoint! There is also a great swimming spot at the first track site.
The drive-in campgrounds aren’t very private... and the tails around the campground make it easy for people to walk through your site. Something to keep in mind if you camp with your pets, or want privacy.
