    Highland Hideaway RV Resort

    We loved it!

    The park is clean and well kept. We like that it is close enough to the city if we need to go to town but it feels like you are in the country. They were having a get together for all the guests with a band and food but we had to leave the day before. I thought that was a really fun idea and would have loved to been able to attend. Maybe next time we can stay a little longer and explore Cleburne more.

    NOT PET FRIENDLY FOR GREAT DANES

    Everything says "Pet Friendly" , however when we tried to book a spot for a month they said I couldn't bring my Great Dane puppy bc of the breed and insurance. Do not recommend if you have a gentle giant, such my service Dane.

    Plateau — Lake Mineral Wells State Park

    Clean, beautiful and serene

    Late in the day we stopped at Lake Mineral Wells State Park, TX. We weren't sure where to go as the gate was unmanned at our arrival. We missed the turn to the campground, but a friendly and helpful Texas State Park Officer directed us how to get there. He helped us with how to make payment as well. 

    The campground was beautiful. It was quiet, the bathrooms were clean, and the lake was serene. There are at least 3 campgrounds, including shelters, equestrian, a loop for tenters, and a loop for larger rigs.  We stayed in the Plateau loop. Even though we only stayed one night, I would go back.

    Hunter Park

    Pretty!

    A cute little park with lots of picnic tables, a pier, and a huge field. The bathrooms were closed but they supplied a porta potty and the nearest gas station is only about two minutes away. Very connected to civilization and it was very well kept. Lots of people seemed to know about it, there were around 15 people who camped there last night and ten or so cars that came through for the fishing pier. If you’re a fisher, this is the place to be! The fish are active. The lake is gorgeous, but if you are car camping or tent camping, be wary about the fact that there will be little to no shade. Plenty of space for a big rig, and the whole thing is designed in a loop, so no backing out necessary! Plus all driving areas to and from the campsite, as well as in it, are paved.

    The splendid landscapes aside, the weather in that place is truly delightful. It's worth experiencing; I had the chance last summer with friends. ATF Booru

    GOOD !!

    Midway Pines RV Park is indeed a gem! The peaceful atmosphere, beautiful surroundings, and well-maintained facilities make it an ideal spot for a relaxing getaway. I totally understand why you feel so comfortable there. Speaking of relaxing, if you're looking to pass the time while you're enjoying the serene vibes, I highly recommend checking out the Traffic Rider app. It's a fun and immersive way to experience motorbike riding through beautiful landscapes, just like the ones around the park! Give it a try during your next visit—it's the perfect way to unwind!

    What a dump

    My bad for not looking harder. I heard about Texas lakes and wanted to camp near one. This place is a pile of junk. Low water pressure. Trash everywhere. No picnic table. Looks like a lot of losers moved in there; grass growing over their sewer lines. Ferrell cats…. The list goes on.

    However the bar and store were cute with ice cold AC and apparently ice cold beer.
