      Huntsville State Park Campground

      Nice weekend getaway

      Lots of sites, but still need to make reservations way in advance, suppose due to its proximity to Houston. Very well kept park with clean facilities, and partial as well as full hookups. Close to Huntsville, so if you are needing supplies or just want to go into town and not cook you are golden. Small lake with paddle boats and good fishing. Fairly flat terrain and trails are well maintained, but not terribly scenic.

      Be safe

      Haha! We stayed at Kelly's Pond dispersed camping. Thought wow we found paradise. It was beautiful, then dusk fell, thought nothing of the Coyotes in the background noise. The first night, Coyotes in the distance, and a cat being attacked outside of us sleeping. Second night, Coyotes in background. Third night. Coyotes in background noise until 3 am. Then they were 50 yrs from us. Thank God they are scared of crazy people screaming at them. We packed the next day.. headed to Dallas area.

      Very convenient

      This park is only about a block off of Route 10 near Houston. Great place to stay if you are just passing through. The pool and hot tub are nice, and the lake is pretty. They've got a pretty severe red ant infestation everywhere, so you can't spend too long standing outside on the gravel or the grass.

      Double Lake NF Campground

      Personal opinion for my interests

      Campground not full. Very quiet, sites not on top of each other (some more private than others), gravel pads for rv, tent, table, lantern post and campfire ring. Water & electric or primitive sites both available. My personal agenda is all things nature related. The land, peace, plants, birds, land animals and TREES, water sources and types. To enjoy all the beauty (in all forms) which our earth provides.

      Huntsville State Park Campground

      Weekday getaway

      My wife and I spent 3 nights in a full hock up site. It is a beautiful park and was extremely quiet after sunset. The staff and volunteers were very helpful and pleasant. The site is fairly level side-to-side with 2.75 inches low difference. The site is sloped front-to-back, but even with a long rig you should be fine. I will pint out the site has an older concrete picnic table and unfortunately is missing one of the benches.

      Houston West RV Park

      Excellent price!

      Every other campground in the Houston area seems to be $55+, but with AAA discount I only paid $45 here! They were very accommodating when I called and gave us an easy spot up front because we were arriving after 8pm. Level spot, no fuss. Quiet night. Only downside were the mosquitos. Bring repellant! Altogether a good experience for a single overnight.

      Nice overall welcome

      Nice mini lake and walking trail

    Guide to Montgomery

    Double Lake NF Campground offers cabin camping facilities for visitors seeking accommodations beyond tent or RV options. Located in Sam Houston National Forest near New Waverly, Texas, these cabins provide access to equestrian trails throughout the 163,000-acre forest. The campground remains open year-round, making it accessible for horse owners during all seasons. Sites accommodate multiple camping styles with cabins positioned to provide forest views.

    What to do

    Trail riding opportunities: Riders can access extensive horse trails from Double Lake NF Campground connecting to multiple routes throughout the forest. "Fantastic for walks around the lake, playing in the park, and fun trails. Camp grounds are spacious and we'll thought out," notes Devin P. The trail system offers various terrain suitable for different riding experience levels.

    Swimming and fishing: The shallow lake provides recreational options when not riding. "Beautiful little lake, relaxing hiking and clean sites... Quite a bit of wildlife and pretty good fishing," reports Amanda C. The swimming area remains open during summer months with designated entry points.

    Hiking circuit: A 1.7-mile walking path encircles the lake, allowing for nature observation. Matthew B. describes it as "an excellent quiet NF campground with a nice swimming area and ample bathrooms/showers." The relatively flat terrain makes this accessible for most fitness levels.

    What campers like

    Peaceful setting: The campground offers a quiet environment away from urban areas while remaining accessible. "Deep in the woods and on a nice shallow lake," says Devin P., highlighting the natural surroundings that create a sense of seclusion despite being "only an hour from Houston."

    Affordable options: Camping rates remain reasonable compared to private facilities. Erin R. notes the campground is "Quite and peaceful. A little pricey for public land but a great campground nonetheless," referring to the standard National Forest fee structure.

    Wildlife viewing: The forest setting attracts diverse animal species visitors can observe. "[There's] quite a bit of wildlife and pretty good fishing," Amanda C. mentions, with the lake area particularly active during morning and evening hours.

    What you should know

    Reservation requirements: While some sites allow walk-ups, securing spots in advance is recommended. Preston M. explains, "24 hour first come, first serve campsites, but I think you can also reserve spots on their website." Holiday weekends typically fill completely several weeks ahead.

    Site privacy variations: Different campsites offer varying levels of seclusion. JenniferWinning observes, "sites not on top of each other (some more private than others), gravel pads for rv, tent, table, lantern post and campfire ring." Sites along the outer loops generally provide more separation.

    Seasonal considerations: Summer brings higher temperatures and increased insect activity. "Mosquitos can be intense during warmer months, especially near the lake shoreline after rainfall. Bringing effective repellent is essential for comfortable outdoor time.

    Tips for camping with families

    Shallow lake safety: The lake's gradual depth makes it suitable for families with children. The designated swimming area includes a gentle slope entry point without sudden drop-offs.

    Playground access: A town playground is located near the campground for additional recreation options. Erin R. mentions "Near by groceries store and town playground close by," providing alternatives to forest activities.

    Easy access amenities: Facilities are designed for convenient family camping. "Water & electric or primitive sites both available," notes JenniferWinning, with flush toilets centrally located within walking distance from most campsites.

    Tips from RVers

    Site selection: RV sites offer varying degrees of privacy and access. "Great RV campsite #36. Pull thru and has great privacy. Walking trail around like is near," recommends Erin R., highlighting the benefits of researching specific site layouts before booking.

    Leveling considerations: Most sites feature gravel pads requiring minimal leveling. JenniferWinning describes "gravel pads for rv, tent, table, lantern post and campfire ring," though some sites may require blocks for perfect leveling.

    Grocery proximity: Supplies remain accessible despite the forest setting. "Near by groceries store and town playground close by," notes Erin R., with the closest market approximately 15 minutes from the campground entrance.
