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

Meditatation is easy here. our peace here nice and quiet. Find ye for real. Love this camp site.
Scout
Awesome long term spot. Has a concrete RV pad that you can park your camper on or park beside it and use the very long pad as your patio, which is what we did. Management very responsive to needs and any questions you may have. This spot is on a very quiet area with minimal boat traffic. We had one camper behind us and they were super quiet. Super nice. Laundry at the office for reasonable price to use the washers and dryers.
Scout
Great park! Quiet, shaded, well spaced cement pads. Emily (and Ranger) is great and super helpful.
ScoutBeware!!!! The new owners of this park are rude,unkind,selfish,greedy people. They allow drugs to run in and out of the park they leave the supposedly secure gate open all night long so anyone can come in. They don't take care of the park and everything is run down. They change the prices when ever it suits them don't believe the online prices. It's a shame that someone who was kind and generous had to pass just so people who never had to work or earn anything gets control over it and doesn't have any care in taking care of what was suppose to be a gift. It's just sad to see what the park is and has become from what it could have been and is now gonna be.

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.
ScoutThis 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!
ScoutWe 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.
ScoutGreat 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.
ScoutEasy access, pleasant atmosphere. We just stayed overnight but will stay again when we come down again.
ScoutThis is a great, non-- parking lot style campground. Every site is covered with trees, and though they are a bit close together you feel connected with nature. Two restaurants within walking distance. Shaved ice within walking distance. Kayaks available. There’s a nice designated swimming area in the lake, and a fishing pier. The hosts are very accommodating.
Scout
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.
Guide
I wish I could rate this campground higher because it was so peaceful with quite a bit of bushy vegetation to provide a small measure of privacy between sites. This is as close to nature as one can get in a campground! There was poison ivy on the trees next to us and in the mowed ground around the campsite. There were so many butterflies, flies, and other flying insects on the sunny side of our RV that it made entering and exiting through the sliding door very difficult. And, the ANTS! After one night in our site, the ants had formed an active trail to the top of our RV. Consequently, we had ants inside the RV!
The roads inside the campground need to be repaved.
The camp host and the park ranger were both very friendly and informative.

ScoutBeautiful area for an overnight stay the day before Eclipse 2024.
Scout
Very quite and loved looking up at the stars!
Scout
It was nice to sit by such a lake and look at such beautiful nature. I, gvibe, really liked it here.
ScoutI 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!
ScoutWe 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.
TravelerWell 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
ScoutThe airport park offers a variety of amenities and camping options for visitors. We can camp together and play Elastic Man to have fun and memorable experiences together.
Guide
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.
Scout
If you want a quiet place that’s not at a busy and crammed RV park, this is the spot! Close to everything Waco.
GuideFirst off the name and pin don’t seem quite right. It is called Limestone Lake Park. The road to the pin is gated. No worries though on the other side of the road is an awesome camping area. It looks way too fancy to be free camping but it is. I had a lakeside spot and had the place all to myself on a weekday. This place seems pretty remote, so mostly local folks would be my guess. Waze took me right here when I put the name in. There is decent Verizon service here too.

This campgrounds doesn't enforce rules. Like burn ban people next to us had a fire. Its 100 plus degrees and we haven't had rain in this area. Also had a german shepard dog running around free. They told is he wasn't aggressive but he came over to our campsite 3 times. Followed our kids down to the water. Owner didn't care and thought it was funny. They had 4 trucks parked on the grass area. At least 6 adults and 8-10 kids running around. Kids would come over to our campsite to pee. Just because your outside doesn't mean you can do or act anyway. We were fishing and kids would drive the jet ski over our lines in the water. No adults said anything. Plenty of space for everyone but the kept coming as close as they could to us. Park Ranger didn't fine them for the fire in which they started up as soon as he left. Park did nothing to make this a safe and happy place to relax. We left early to avoid any further issues with them drinking heavily it was just going to get worse as they got drunker.
This park looks good with only 5 electric and water hook ups but don't be fooled. They don't enforce any basic rules. Bathrooms even though we have a camper were so gross I would want to go in for 1 second.
ScoutReally enjoyed our short stay - Emily and her dad have a gem here!
