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.
The park is on Lake Georgetown which is beautiful. Lots the f mature trees. Campsites have some decent separation. Sites have covered structure with picnic table. Also have fire pit and barbecue. Some spots have direct view of lake. Bathrooms are ok but only reason I do not give higher review.
It was nice to sit by such a lake and look at such beautiful nature. I, gvibe, really liked it here.
Small, but very clean / new restrooms. Lots and lots and lots of fields, walking trails. Perfect for dogs who like to run. In January no one is here, all by myself. Great rates, they also offer primitive sites where you hike in just a little.
I love the cool summer air here. Promise for next summer stay drift boss unblocked
The 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.
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
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.
Unfulfilled obligations, improperly maintained grounds, lazy, unproductive, not motivated, inappropriate behavior with park females and just plain rude are all signs that San Gabriel River RV Park have bad park managers. Ms.On-Site Manager has said to more than one resident“if you don’t like it here, just leave.Your home is on wheels”. Below is a list of documented requests made thru the proper channels. Drainage ditch dug and left open for approximately 3 months creating unhygienic and unsanitary conditions breeding places for flies, mosquitoes, and other disease-causing organisms. Sewer leaks on the ground at the park owned septic tube, took 6 weeks to repair. The Texas Commission Environmental Quality has been contacted, and proper paperwork documented. Weeds growing 2 feet high, orange caution cones on side of street indicating danger; however, the cone is not visible because grass is covering the cone, large trees hanging on RVs, sewer leaks. Management does not read the electrical meters monthly resulting in incorrect reading and a guesstimate of voltage numbers thus overcharging residents. Allowing people to move back into the park that were kicked out in the past that did not follow the rules. Permitting a Beekeeper to retain beehives next to his RV, putting other residents at the park in danger of being stung or injured by the bees. Allowing residents to stay in the park that have not paid rent for several months. Using residents at the park to perform their responsibility and not paying them. If you are reading this feedback, you might think, oh, these people are just disgruntled x-residents. Why would you stay at the park? Management sent an eviction letter with reason stating“you are not happy” which was correct. We parked our Newmar at San Gabriel River RV Park about 10 days a month and wanted our site to look nice. When we would request maintenance, their response was always,“We’ll get to it”... And they never did. Taking into consideration all the above park maintenance issues and the eviction notice, we will move forward to another property where management listens, provides customer service, in a professional manner, maintains the grounds, and acts upon the requests of the residents with respect.
This was our first time staying here. We were in town for a music festival and picked this park based on location. We loved the water views from our site and the fact that each site had a covered picnic table area. The campground and bathrooms were clean during our visit. The lady working the gate was very nice as well.
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.
Beautiful and quiet park with 30/50amp hookups. Water but no sewer (dump station with easy access). Plenty of deer frequent the park.
 Stayed there during the winter and the staff made sure you were OK we were frozen for two days
We love this campground. The sites are fair sized and most have decent privacy with lots of trees. Bathrooms are ok. Some sites have amazing views of Lake Georgetown. Staff are friendly and helpful.
7 pull through sites. Very nice.
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!
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.
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!
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.
awesome campground. if you study the park map it is very easy to find a spot with lots of shade. spots are spacious, some large. we stayed in site 24. next closest neighbor was 75 feet or better away. site 24 has the rv door facing east. with the trees and pavilion, that side of the rv was in the shade all day. 50 amp service and water, no sewer at site. dump station is easily accessible. camp host was very friendly. each site seems to have its own pavilion, which i have not seen before. especially at $26 per night. some sites even had a screened-in bunkhouse. has boat ramps and a swimming area. the only con is the swimming area is a little far to walk to. we will definitely be back.
Good amount of room, lake views for the most part. Lake access but everything is rock.
Pros
Not charged a fee to make my own on-line reservation
Friendly gate attendant
Level asphalt site surrounded by crushed granite
Grass neatly mowed throughout campground
Large aluminum picnic table that is moveable from site concrete pad
BBQ grill, metal fire pit and lantern pole
Night sky friendly. No street lights
Spacious-space between each site but no privacy due to lack of vegetation
Very quiet Sunday thru Wednesday nights except for Waco airport aircraft approach and Space X rocket testing
Entrance gate locked 10pm-6am. Exit only permitted
Clean toilets and showers
Plenty of TP in restrooms
Trash can in toilet/shower facility
Sufficient trash dumpsters throughout park
Deer sightings at Park entrance only
2 LTE Verizon bars signal
Cons
Exterior restroom doors desperately need repaired. Have to move rock away from door to gain access.
Sewer connection at rear of parking pad. Bring the looooong stinky slinky!
Waco airport aircraft departing/arriving as early as 6am and as late as 11pm. One night we counted aircraft performing touch and go manuvers 42 times. Approach was directly over our campsite.
No patrolling host or ranger
No soap or hand towels in toilet facility
No playground, basketball or tennis or volleyball courts
No lake swimming area
No park WIFI
No hiking trails
Family and pet friendly. Wind off of the lake was amazing, bathrooms were clean and nice to use. Campground was clean.
I haven’t stayed here yet but I wanted to make a review about their open season. They have it listed on their website, but they are only open from March 2nd to September 30th for the year of 2022. This might change for 2023. Just wanted to clarify for anyone that might want to stay here and read from that other review that they’re closed.
This is a great little spot. Very secluded for being so close to civilization. Perfect for a weekend camp. Bathrooms could be nicer. Didn’t look into the showers this trip. About an hour ish outside of Austin.
