    100 acre private camping land with camp site that has a view of the water. Stocked pond with fish and tons of wildlife on the property. Plenty of room to hike and explore. You are able to bring a vehicle right up to campsite. Actively managed to increase and preserve wild life activity. Great place for small or large parties to enjoy an all natural camping experience. Pets are welcome.

    Pitch a tent at the far corner of the property to enjoy the natural pond. Just follow the mowed trail to the end. There is a fire pit we use with bricks. Feel free to collect fallen limbs and make a fire where you see responsibly safe. The trail does get muddy after a rain , we will do our best to fill holes that get too deep

          November Road Trip

          We took a two day break here from driving cross country. What a beautiful park. We had a site right on the lake. Mid 70s in the day and mid 50s at night. Amazing sunsets.

          K76 Lakefront

          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.

          Awful

          Beware!!!! 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.

          Tradinghouse Lake Park Camping

          Also called McLennan County Park

          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.

          Very Nice Park Next to Interstate 35

          This 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!

          calm environment, quiet with helpful hosts

          We 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.

          Canopy of trees and right on the lake

          This 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.

          Beautiful lakeside spots!

          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.

          Close to Nature

          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.

          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.

          Dodge City RV Park

          Good spot for camping

          Been there last year during out trip to Texas( mainly hiking in Britton park and a few other local trail spots and camped at Dodge City RV park)

          Pros: good clean spots for camping, everything you might need is pretty close
          Didn't try RV spots, but those looked really nice too.

          Cons: Didn't find any.

          If you gonna be visiting TX during June-July for trailing and camping - my advice is: make sure to get a pair of comfy shoes(my go-to are Brooks men's running shoes like those https://rununited.com/mens-footwear/) - trails are pretty rough and it's extremely hot and humid near bodies of water... Gotta dry your shoes every few hours

          Beautiful Park

          I 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!
