    Stephen F. Austin State Park Campground

    Nice wooded spot.

    This is a great park to overnight or stay a couple days. It's very quiet. And the hiking trails are well maintained. AT&T coverage is weak.

    Double Lake Recreation Area

    Very peaceful camping close to Houston

    Came for a quick weekend since it is close to Houston, ended up staying an extra day! Some sites have full hook ups, some are pull through some are both. For the price you can’t beat it!

    Somewhat limited on trails, unless you count the fact that the Lonestar hiking trail runs through the park, which would make this a good starting/stopping/basecamp I suppose. The lake it is named for as small, but appears to have good fishing. There is a swim area that is roped off, which looked inviting, though it was a little cold…

    Sites are nice though a little unlevel. Parkhouse were very helpful and friendly when needed but otherwise stayed out of your hair. Looking forward to a return visit.

    Houston West RV Park

    Very convenient

    This park is only about a block off of Route 10 near Houston. Great place to stay if you are just passing through. The pool and hot tub are nice, and the lake is pretty. They've got a pretty severe red ant infestation everywhere, so you can't spend too long standing outside on the gravel or the grass.
