ScoutThe campsites have a lot of space & are surrounded by woods. The concrete sites are level and offset from the next site (one on one side of loop, next site on other side of loop), which allows for more space & privacy (stayed in #006). I had full hookups (water, electric & sewer) at $25/night (Disabled Vet rate). It was very peaceful & quiet, except for some work that needed to be done nearby.
ScoutBethy Creek is an amazing resort and camp sight! We love going out here and spending the weekends. Have been going for the last 10 years and we plan on bringing our kids here as they get older.
GuideI'd never heard of the Trinity River Authority before. It's not a name that jumps out when one thinks of camping. But in Texas, perhaps it should be. The private company built dams and reservoirs all over the state and funds their operations through water sales and permit use.
Lake Livingston is one such project, the 3rd largest lake in Texas and the largest one constructed for drinking water. The company is clearly very serious about maintaining beautiful and professionally run grounds. The sites are generally well-monitored, spaced nicely, and situated with great water views if you choose one in that area (see my map photo). The park does not allow day use in camping areas nor day entry at all on weekends, keeping the entire park reserved for paid RV guests.
I grew up around Lake Grapevine, another TRA project though I didn't know it as a kid. But I've never woken up to find a sunrise over a lake right outside my bedroom window. That's pretty special.
Like another reviewer mentioned, I did see a dog running loose and investigating people's campgrounds.
If you're in Texas and want peace, quiet, total darkness (there are no lights of any kind in the camping area), and lower temps than Houston, come check out Wolf Creek Park.
ScoutIt's a beautiful park..lots to do. I just wish it was closer to the city of Houston. Otherwise it has great amenities pretty spacious spots no real complaints here.
RangerPark is decent but roads are not the best shape. Bathrooms are sketchy but doable. Expect people to be driving around park and launching boats well into the night. Dogs are not kept on leash like the rules say and some just roam at will. No fire rings and no covered tables. The Marina restaurant has very good hamburgers and a laundromat. Lots of places to fish from the shore.
GuideGood facilities and amenities for adults and kids. Friendly and helpful staff.
ScoutExcellent campground. Clean, manicured, on Lake Livingston. Site 50 is the best in the park.
RangerVery well kept facilities, nice, level sites. Very family friendly environment - I think because they do not allow day visitors on weekends. Everyone I encountered with the park were nothing but professional and super friendly. Trash pickup from the curb was an added bonus. Can’t wait to go back!
ScoutWe were looking for a spot for 2 nights with full hookups and on the water, very pleased with spot 63, has a deck. The owner was very helpful, he helped me get my sway bars back on! If you stay here check out Tallent Sausage Meat market that’s next to the closest gas stations. We didn’t use any of the on-site bathrooms but the owner said they’re in the process of renovating them.

**Fishing access: Lake Livingston supports multiple fish species including catfish, bass, and crappie. Wolf Creek Park offers direct lake access for anglers. "This campground is huge and you cannot reserve a specific site. You drive around and pick a site, then call and let them know which one you're in," notes one camper.
**Water recreation: Boat rentals available at most lakeside campgrounds. Bethy Creek Resort features a cable 2.0 for wakeboarding and boat rentals. "We enjoy our time here. Clean camping site on the Trinity with a cable 2.0 for wakeboarding. Great atmosphere and helpful staff," shares a visitor.
**Nature trails: Several campgrounds maintain walking paths through wooded areas. Lake Livingston State Park features a dedicated boardwalk trail. "There is a 'board walk trail' that is quite literally a board walk through the forest. It's just a 1 mile loop and has a few benches and attractions, and this would be an excellent handicap option," explains a reviewer.
**Spacious sites: Many campgrounds provide ample space between camping spots. Lake Livingston State Park Campground offers well-separated sites in wooded settings. "The campground is heavily wooded and the campsites are well spaced. We stayed only night but would definitely consider staying here again," mentions a recent visitor.
**Lakefront views: Direct water access from numerous sites. "Almost all spots have a great view of the lake. Ours had a deck right over the water. The fishing was decent too," shares one camper about Bethy Creek Resort.
**Clean facilities: Most campgrounds maintain regularly serviced restrooms and shower areas. Woodsy Hollow Campground & RV Resort offers quiet surroundings with well-maintained amenities. "Nice and quiet with a small lake. Check-in was quick and easy and the lady checking us in was super nice," reports a visitor.
**Site selection varies: Some campgrounds operate on first-come, first-served basis for specific sites. "We have stayed here 2 different times. The east section is a little older and smaller sites but was still able to find one for our 42' coach. The 'YAPUN' section is where we stayed last and was new and very nice, all the sites had concrete pads to park on and are fairly level," notes a camper at Lake Livingston State Park.
**Wi-Fi limitations: Internet access may be restricted or require payment. "I booked this site because it shows wifi as an amenity. However, the wifi is a pay-by-the-day only offer," mentions a visitor to Lake Conroe RV & Camping Resort.
**Seasonal considerations: Summer weekends see highest occupancy rates. "We camped here for a long weekend getaway. The campground is huge, and you cannot reserve a specific site. We enjoyed our time here in our full hookup site, but the campground was just too busy for our taste," shares a Lake Conroe visitor.
**Activity planning: Many campgrounds offer structured events for children. Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park™ Camp-Resort Waller specializes in family-oriented programming. "We camped during the week and it wasn't very crowded. Plenty to do for our little ones. Huge play ground closed for COVID but other things open were splash pad, water slides, pool, lazy river, fishing, golf cart rental and more," reports a family visitor.
**Swimming areas: Designated swimming zones with varying depths accommodate different age groups. "Lake Livingston State Park is a fantastic state park for water activities. The fishing, boating, canoeing, kayaking and paddle boarding is all fantastic," notes an experienced camper.
**Playground access: Several campgrounds maintain dedicated play structures. "We have been to this park twice now, once at a tent site and once at a Yogi on the Lake cabin. Both during Halloween time a year apart. What a FUN place to be! Our kids loved that we got to go Trick or treating at a campground!" shares a Jellystone Park visitor.
**Hookup verification: Confirm site utilities before booking. "Beware that not all sites have full hookups," warns a Lake Conroe camper. "I walk the dog a lot and run and road around the grounds needs to be repaved, lots of pot holes and uneven areas."
**Leveling requirements: Site terrain varies between campgrounds. "Huge campsite along the lakefront with access to launch kayak/canoe or even swim. Gorgeous sunsets over the lake. Very level concrete pad requiring no additional leveling efforts," reports a camper at Lake Livingston State Park.
**Site navigation: Some larger campgrounds require self-selection of sites upon arrival. "The person at checkin did have a good site recommendation. We arrived shortly after checkin and had limited selection of sites," mentions a Lake Conroe visitor.
