Constantino Farms
Be the first to review!Dublin, Texas18 Photos5 SavesThe campsite is fenced in our front pasture with water and composting toilet available.
It is located under a large tree.
Our front pasture houses our goats, cows, donkeys and chickens.
We have two seasonal creeks that run thru the property and about 9 acres of woods to explore.
Because we have no ambient lighting our farm is a great place to stargaze.

Moon Ranch
Be the first to review!Glen Rose, Texas5 SavesCome to Moon Ranch on Chalk Mountain, 10 minutes from historic Glen Rose, TX, and make camp in this neatly secluded cedar and elm treed area. The four camps are located on 10.5 acres of land, so feel free to stretch out and relax. Bring a hammock; no problem finding two trees close enough!!
Walk out to the three acre clearing at night and view the beautiful night sky with almost no light pollution, or camp in our scenic open camping area. On a clear night the milky way is incredible!
Our location is five minutes to Fossil Rim Wildlife Center, Ten Minutes to Dinosaur Valley State Park(both require reservations), 15 Minutes to Big Rocks(free shallow river access and boulders to climb on). Open field for stargazing. Close to Paluxy River, Brazos River, Glen Rose shops, boutiques, eateries in town and on the square.
We have a mixture of private campsites secluded in the cedar trees, perfect for a romantic getaway; or larger campsites that can easily accommodate families. Absolutely LGBTQ friendly!

Midway Pines RV Park

Copperas Creek at Proctor Lake
Copperas Creek COE
Copperas Creek COE in Comanche, TX (Lake Proctor) Site #63 50 amp Full hook up Back-in site March 2024
Beautiful park! The lady working the gate should have her picture in the dictionary under customer service. Very pleasant & welcoming!
The site has lots of shade trees with a view of the lake (not lakeside). Sites are not on top of each other, but no type of barrier between sites. Water had a terrible smell.
Despite it being the beginning of spring break in Texas & the amount of people here, it is fairly quiet.
If you’re camping with others, there are 3 double RV sites on this end of the park.
Would definitely come back here again. — at Copperas Creek Park.
Oakdale RV Resort & Motorcoach
Family & adult friendly
We screwed up and booked a different spot and our camper was too long. Oakdale was able to accommodate us on short notice. The staff was friendly and informative. Our kids had a great time in the expansive pool and enjoyed the snow cone stand across the street. The adult enjoyed the well-stocked pool bar!

Decent campground, rude patrons
The facilities at the campground are great, but other people there were extremely rude. Dino tracks are very cool! Pretty crappy cell service in our site.

Good Park fun for kids
Nice park make sure to watch for branches when leaving as some can be low by the headquarters.
Edwin King Atwood Park
Wrong coordinates
The current coordinates listed are inland - hours from the beach.
Meridian State Park Campground
Very Nice Small State Park
There may not be a lot of trails, but they are very nice. The sites are oddly level, even though they do not look like they would be.
Site 01 is a great spot, that feels about the most secluded.
Watch out for all the spider webs on the trails, if you hike early in the morning... We camped at Meridian State Park in a 28 foot Travel Trailer.
Promontory
Tent site
It was beautiful and quiet a little hike to the water but it was a beautiful site well maintained but watch out for spider they web so fast lol
Sowell Creek at Proctor Lake

Sowell is a great family friendly campground. Well kept, with an easy access boat ramp. Highly recommended
Meridian State Park Campground
Fantastic small park.
7 pull through sites. Very nice.

Giants in the Mist
Dinosaur Valley SP
So wanted to see the dinosaur tracks! But it rained before we arrived and they were all under water. The trails on the other side of the river were all closed, mud and treacherous terrain. The inner trail takes you along the river and has several signs with information. The campsites are nestled in the foliage and nice spacing between. You can totally get the crustaceous era feel going. The foliage is also a nice noise damper. Electric and water plus hook thing at each site. Didn’t see any modern time critters during our visit, there were raccoon tracks on the trails and one deer track. Easy ride (bike) road through the campground. Older but well maintained showerhouse. The primitive camping is right on the river and remote sites are available. Dinosaur World is right down the road which would be cool with kids. Go learn about and then actually walk where the dinosaurs did. I am totally visiting again, I want to see the tracks.
Green Deer RV Park
Big Rig Friendly
This is a down home friendly place within minutes of anything you need in Stephenville, Texas. It has two full bathrooms complete with showers, work out room, washer and dryers and an area for meetings. An outside area under a huge pecan tree with small tables and chairs for hanging out with friends. There is a walking trail that’s not quite a half a mile. Two huge dog areas with lots of grass. The owners are super friendly and will respond to your needs.

Trails and Deer!
We were in site 020, electric only. No shade in this spot! Needed 2 blocks on the left side to level. Play ground, hiking, beautiful river! Many deer walking through the park. We were only here for one night, really wish we had longer to explore!
Lake Brownwood State Park Campground
Very nice state park
Very nice park. We are at pad # 84 and it’s great. They have a large concrete pad next to the trailer . Very new picnic table. Rest room , shower is very clean
Sowell Creek at Proctor Lake
Great place to fish hybrid striped bass
I’ve come here several times for fishing, swimming, and camping. It was always well maintained when I went. Very good fishing place, friendly staff.
Dinosaur Valley State Park — Dinosaur Valley State Park
What a great park for families!
I have visited this park several times, and it was my first state park to explore when I was a kid. The Paluxy river runs through this park. When there’s been plenty of rain there are lots of places to swim! The blue hole is my favorite swimming area in this park, it has some deep areas, and I’ve heard of some undertows being there, so children should be supervised closely. There are some large rocks jutting out over some deep water in this area that are fun to jump from! To get to the hike in sites, be prepared to wade through the river. I believe it is a 2 mile hike to get to the most remote primitive site. Also, when the river is low you can see lots of dinosaur tracks! If you have extra time in Glen Rose, Fossil Rim is right around the corner! Both Dinosaur Valley and Fossil Rim are great places to take kiddos.
Sowell Creek at Proctor Lake
Big Rig Friendly EXCEPT Site 2
This park is so quiet and relaxing. Sites 1-7 are full hookups and BRF except site 2 (low hanging tree). We were in site 6 and it was perfect. The park is very big with a swimming beach and fishing pier. There are stickers for you dog owners so beware in some areas. Rode our bikes five miles inside the park roads. We will be back.
Hico City Park
Great Overnight Stay
Three hours north of San Antonio via 281. If you haven't experienced 35 through Central Texas it's not as glamorous as you think.
The campground is clean, quiet, with spacing closer to state parks than commercial slide to side set ups.
Dinosaur Valley State Park — Dinosaur Valley State Park
Great stay
Great campground with big shaded sites. Site 17 was right by the main walking trail that overlooks the river and there was a way to get down to the river from our site which was amazing. This allowed us to go down to river and explore and find tracks without going to the main area every time we wanted to. The parking slab was kind of short and our length wasn’t even the max size. The bathroom was very clean and the campground was well maintained. Staff was super nice and camp store has some of the basics if you needed it.
Coffee Creek RV Resort & Cabins
Lots of amenities
We had an overnight stop here. Lots of longterm people working in the area, but still lots of open spots. Had an awesome playground, little dog park, laundry, showers, pool, etc. Very cute park.
Edwin King Atwood Park
South Padre winter escape

Beautifully Placed Sites
Great sites, privacy, and short walk to one of the greatest bathhouses I’ve visited within the TX SP system. Great trails and tons of exploring the park. From its Dino tracks in the river to the wide variety of birds and other wildlife.

Riverside Park
Great pull through sites
Wonderful evening site with pull through sites next to river and park. We pulled in with our 25 ft trailer at 830 pm and had no problem. We hooked electric and were good for nigh. Bath house with shower was great. The park was a delight! One mile path around with nice playground for children. Rooster and cats in park.
