  Traders Village RV Park

  Houston, Tx…..Nothing to get excited about

  It’s a large campground and spaces are very small. There’s a grass strip between camp sites. No picnic tables or grills. The office gave us a map and showed us how to get to our site but virtually impossible to understand. A very nice gentleman that stayed here took us to our site. He said they have no idea how to do directions and a buddy of his really messed up his camper by trolling around looking for their site. It’s very crowded and no room for awnings or for both campers side by side to put out awnings. There is a pool but it doesn’t look well maintained and there’s absolutely no chairs. Just the pool and it’s small. Laundry room is large. There’s no dog park or anywhere to walk your dog. Signs everywhere that say no pets, yet they are allowed. The flea market is only on the wknd. It’s close to a lot of restaurants and in a nice area.

  Wolf Creek Park

  Lake Livingston Gem

  This Park is on the edge of being a 5 STAR park... 

  PROS 

  Senior Discount 

  Check-in at the gate without leaving vehicle NO street lights in A3 campground, so good dark sky viewing(when neighbors don’t have a dozen campsite lights illuminating 3-4 campsites) 

  Very very quiet Sunday thru Wednesday 

  Site 62 backs up to Lake Livingston so excellent view of lake and easy accessibility from lakefront campsites 

  Site 62 12 ft wide concrete parking pad level 

  Moveable wooden and metal picnic table on concrete pad 

  Metal fire ring(no cooking grate) 

  Pedestal BBQ grill Campsite utility hook-ups in good condition with no problems encountered 

  Trash pickup at each campsite 3 times daily 

  Pristine grounds 

  Very clean toilet/shower facility; it took 3 men 2 hours in a Monday to clean one facility, but no cleaning Tuesday or Wednesday or Thursday(didn’t even pick up the trash)! 

  Constable manning gate after normal gate hours 

  Roped off lake swimming area 

  Small playground near swimming area 

  CONS 

  Paid$3.50 reservation fee for completing 100% on-line reservation 

  On Day#2 of our stay, a neighbor camper came to us to inform us that the park manager just stopped by his site(we were at our site and saw him) to let him know there was a burn ban established for the next 7 days and that he need to spread the word to other campers. Two days later we saw a small burn ban sign posted at the toilet/shower facility. Communicating this crucial information needs improved. Perhaps posting signs throughout the park, especially at the entrance. 

  Trip hazard on the picnic table concrete where someone cut the chains that held the table in place 

  Numerous dogs roaming…no leash and no human 

  Absolutely no privacy from any other campsite as there is no vegetation between campsites 

  No evening trash pickup so have to store trash created by evening cooking 

  Gate was not closed overnight 

  Camp store and water craft rental closed Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday 

  No wildlife sightings 

  No park WIFI 

  No camp hosts

  Brickhouse RV Resort

  Close to whatever you need

  This is a newer resort with concrete pads and level sites. The resort is clean and well kept. Pool is located next to Jarbo Bayou for birdwatching, kayaking and fishing. There is a convenient laundry facility on site as well as a clubhouse. Staff is very friendly. There are plenty of restaurants and quite a few are in walking distance. Big name stores are close by as well as Kemah Boardwalk with all the touristy stuff you want to do.

  Lake Livingston State Park Campground

  It’s all about the lake

  Lake Livingston State Park is a fantastic state park for water activities. The fishing, boating, canoeing, kayaking and paddle boarding is all fantastic.

  Campsites: The sites were all well maintained with the best spots being in Piney Shores & Red Oak. We were in spot #69. It had a great view but lacked in flat playing space for young children and hammock trees.

  Trails: There were a few trails in the park, none of which were all that long. The main Trinity Trace Trail was flat dirt, good for young bikers. Though trails are short, they connect so you could do a few trails for a longer run/hike if you so desired.

  Bathrooms: Each campground loop has one bathroom and shower. They can be a bit of a walk if you don’t have a close site. They appear to be older but maintained and cleaned well enough.

  Park Specific Activities: Getting on the water was awesome, it’s the largest lake in Texas, so lots to explore. Fishing was fantastic. We caught bass, perch and catfish and lots of them! Getting in the lake left some to be desired. The bottom has many large rocks, tree stumps and is very mossy. Swimming can be fun but a little dangerous and slippery. The duck pond and frog pond are nothing to get excited about. We saw no birds in the bird blind and the frog pond is so small you almost can’t see it. We did hear a frog though.

  Other: Connected to the park store they had a small educational space for young kids with a functioning beehive. The kids (ages 2-6) loved it. The park store is not open Mondays and Tuesdays. Kayak, canoe and paddle board rentals were only Thursday to Sunday 8:30-3:30. $10-20/rental. The pool was not functioning when we went in August 2018. They have a small amphitheater and near by a room available for rent which can have 50 guests. It was air conditioned and had nice hardwood floors.

  In Summary: We would absolutely recommend it for water activities and relaxation. It’s a beautiful spot! We wouldn’t recommend it for just birding or hiking but the park as a whole is great.

  Wolf Creek Park

  Clean, Well Maintained with excellent restrooms

  This campground is probably one of the best in the area. It's clean, well maintained with excellent restrooms that are well lit and spotless. The boat launch is in great condition with plenty of parking. The camp store is well stocked and operated by the nicest of people. Slushes and Pickles all day! You've got all the amenities for RVs, lots of picnic tables and the campsites are well spaced out with fire pits electricity including 30 amp along with water. Lake Livingston is great for fishing and they have a designated safe swim area. Overall this is a very safe, very clean and family-oriented campground. Highly Recommend.

  Lake Livingston State Park Campground

  FHU Lakefront Sites

  We love this state park and it's one of our favorites! This was our third time camping here in the Piney Shores Loop. We arrived on Memorial Day for four nights with reservations made 54 days prior. We weren’t loving Piney Shores#52 back-in campsite much due to: Steep drop-off of the concert pad and the narrow roadway making backing in challenging, but not impossible for our 27ft trailer.  Any larger rigs might not be able to swing it.

  The dirt area around the picnic table, fire pit and lantern pole was a huge MUD hole! What a mess due to daily rains. 

  No concrete pad under the picnic table, so your feet were in the MUD hole! HINT– Park Maintenance needs to apply some medium size gravel around the table and fire pit. 

  Picnic table (chained to the ground) and fire pit were right next to each other. WHO DESIGNS THESES CAMPSITES?? 

  Power interruptions, albeit short. Very glad we had our power surge protector. 

  We loved: 

  Very level concrete pad requiring no additional leveling efforts. 

  Huge campsite along the lakefront with access to launch kayak/canoe or even swim(which we didn’t). 

  Gorgeous sunsets over the lake. It was wonderful to sit at the fire facing the lake and watch the sunsets. 

  The squirrels that ate from our fingertips! It was also really amusing to find the squirrels VERY friendly. They just hoped up onto our laps and took peanuts in the shell from our fingertips! 

  Super quiet as only 6 full hook up campsites were occupied due to COVID operating restrictions.

  Fort Anahuac Park

  Decent Spot on the water

  Good little park off the beaten path. You can camp with water views. Flush toilets with running water, but those mosquitoes will eat you alive.

  Lake Livingston State Park Campground

  Just a hop from Houston to beautiful nature

  Lake Livingston State Park is one of our regular visits. During the school year it is hard to head out on a Friday, drive 2-3 hours and then setup in the dark for a weekend camping trip. Lake Livingston is just over an hour from our house and has lots to offer. They recently rebuilt one of the camping loops to where now this is one of the few state parks in Texas that have Full Hookups. Not all loops have Full Hookups but a couple do.

  Like most state parks in Texas the sites here are large and offer a lot of shade. Each site will have a table and a fire ring. There are tons of hiking trails and geocaches throughout the park. It is also close to shops in town so that if you forget something you are only about 15 minutes from a Walmart. There is a shop on site that has most of the essentials.

  Palms RV Park

  Don’t go!

  Incorrect wiring with the 50 amp service destroyed our fridges and microwave. Owner was verbally aggressive and denied all responsibility. He offered nothing. Muddy, loud road, loud party, no laundry, murky creepy pond, no place to walk a dog.
