Guide
Great overnight stop if you are needing full hook-ups although it is loud due to its proximity to the freeway and Love’s Truck Stop. We prefer dispersed camping but needed full services to be able to shower and fill water so the noise was expected and tolerable. Staff was friendly and facilities were clean. Note: the facilities are not available after office hours which in December are 9-5.

Arrived here in mid-December and the park was completely abandoned. We camped near the farm to market road and almost everyon3 completely ignored us.
There were no signs about camping but one big sign that said, No Wake Lake No Swimming. No Hunting, No Firearms. However, there also NO WATER IN THE LAKE. It appears the city has not promulgated camping regulations, at least there are no signs regarding camping in the off season.

stayed here for a week in mid-November. Weather: 70 for the high and mid 40s at night. There were signs for nature trail, but I didn’t check it out. Beautiful views and amazing star gazing opportunities. Not much shade/trees near the sites. There sites are well spaced out along the reservoir: covered tables, trash can, grills, and fire pits all for a $5 day use fee. There isn’t a camp host or gate attendant on site. The people from LCRA that attended the park biweekly to empty trash. Minimal local activity during our stay. There is a dump station outside the park. Propane and groceries available only 10 minutes away. Excellent t-mobile service, was able to work remotely.

My dog and I enjoyed this spot so much. Wide open camping. First come first serve. Grounds are very clean and well maintained. I can’t wait to come back and bring the kayak. Only thing I wish they had fire rings.
Guide
The lake seems low. I am pretty isolated at this end of the campground. It is very windy today. I bet this place is baking hot in the summertime. It is basically desert with out much shade.
ScoutThe facilities were clean and the manager was nice but the cleanliness of the pool left a lot to be desired. Beware if you have pets because there's stickers everywhere. Smoke detector in the ladies restroom went off the entire time we were there. But that's just about it. Quiet except for the freeway, very busy place but very respectful folks.

Honestly this place is way better than i anticipated. Gated, clean, several of the sites have a covered veranda over the private picnic tables. Dog park with separate areas for small and large breed dogs. Full hook up w/ 50 amp and well spaced out sites. The grass is nice too (a lot of places are mainly weeds and stickers/thorns that my dog doesn’t want walk in). $52 for one night so a bit pricey for us to stay longer than a couple days but definitely a good place to stop that i feel is clean and safe. Others complained of hearing a train but we were there in the summer and with our a/c on i can’t hear any exterior noises
ScoutUno Online also trains my ability to react quickly and make decisions in each game.
ScoutThe Love's RV Stop was clean with long drive paths and enough space. The information about the water hookup was a little confusing as it stated to only fill up vs water hookup while at your RV location. We didn't see a laundry facility as advertised or RV store. We feel though Love's RV Stop is convenient, we feel they're missing a few key points. If their going to advertise a facility, they need to ensure it's either at the Gas Station or the RV Campsite. There also needs to a storm shelter, building, or information regarding evacuations in an emergency, for tornadoes, hail, or worse since there's no tenant, representative, or security on site anywhere. Lastly, IF they're going to advertise the gas station stop as the official RV Store, there needs to safe walk path to store from the RV Stop vs unhooking to drive there when someone is only here for a layover (1 night). Other than those issues, the RV Stop is great! We would definitely use them more in the future!

Nice wooded area, sites are spaced well, clean bathrooms, very family friendly, full of wildlife, gorgeous sunsets and starry night
GuideDue to our travels, only stayed here for one night to break up our drive. Now wish we had stayed longer. Nice large wooded sites. Drove down to lake Abilene but wasn't much of a lake as they hadn't had rain in a while. Said one good rain would fill her up. Look forward to staying here again for an extended amount of time.
RangerSo let me start this review by saying we found the stretch of Odessa to Sweetwater a bit challenging as far as campgrounds. Several of the places we called were completely booked - the one campground told me that industry was booming and workers were camping because housing wasn’t available. This type of campground wouldn’t be my first pick.
However, it has many advantages - the gate was secure, the sites were level and had an extra parking space, the WiFi was good, booking online AND checking in online were super easy, it was reasonably priced and it was located right next to the interstate.
There is a pickleball court, sitting area and dog play area in the center of the campground (it’s not super large), but we could not find the laundry anywhere and we really needed to do laundry! The bathrooms were located at the front of the park at the gate, which seemed weird and it seemed like there was only two and that while your showering inside, someone who has no idea it’s occupied, is out there trying to punch in the code.
To me, if you need a quick and easy place to park for the night in an area where the other options are sparse, this is a great fit.
UPDATE There is no laundry - you have to go over to the truck stop to use laundry, but it’s not part of the campground.

Stayed here last summer on our way to Sedona, one night stop. Super friendly folks in the office, guided to spot following golf cart. It was super hot when we arrived and were pleased to find the crystal clear pool to cool off in. Doggies enjoyed the dog park. Camp store had a 50 to 30 amp converter we needed for later in the trip. Trail nearby and running up the hill gives you a great view of the surroundings. Would definitely stay there again if we happen to be passing through!

LegendLarge spacious spots with lots of privacy. Deer and birds are all around.

My wife and I stayed for one night as we were heading to Port Aransas, TX from Roswell, NM. The park owner accommodated us as we were running behind and arrived just after office hours. She was extremely sweet, and even left us a gift bag. Later she showed up to double check on us. We find what is most important is Customer Service and she went above and beyond. The park is a little older, but we were not there for resort-type services. Lots were spacious and everything was great for us. The park is located about 4-5 miles from everything, which was fine with us.
GuideIt's so new, I'm not sure if they are even done yet. Bathrooms didn't really have locks on the inside yet, which was concerning.

On the good side, they have helpful , friendly office staff. And, as a bonus, FedEx and UPS deliver here
The campsites range from ‘ok’ to ‘needs help’. A tired park that could use some revamping. We enjoyed the different landscape. Dump station is not really usable for honey cart - surrounded by concrete lip/edging
A different/rugged kind of landscape. Really peaceful. Also somewhat windy - not sure if this is seasonal or not.
Starlink worked fine. T-Mobile, Verizon, Visible and Cricket were light on signal strength. Both Verizon and T-Mobile are 5G and download was ok but upload sucked
Loop road was wide enough for 1 vehicle, but was not a one-way road - cos of drive-thru sites. Plenty of room to pull off, so all good
LegendIf at first you don’t find something you like– keep driving! You’ll find it! This place is Texas big with more recreational activities than I have ever seen, and I have been on the road for quite a while. The only thing I didn’t see was a bocce court! There are multiple camping opportunities so take your pick. The Wagon Circle was a trip-- 17 sites with water and electric in a circle around the facilities, see the photos. There are two pools– a kiddy pool and a full size(25 yards) lap pool. The pool area is in great shape, but many of the other activity areas are a bit dated. I was relying on my Verizon hotspot because of issues with Starlink and the signal was not great. I ended up dry camping in a picnic area because it was the only place I could get two bars LTE.
ScoutThe lake is down. The best place to see the lake from this State Park is at the very end by the boat launch area with picnic area. Day use. If choosing an RV spot you won't really see hardly any of the lake but a peek view.
It's still okay but nature is starting to take over and it appears that the state has no money for this park. Maybe others but not for this park.
Bird watching is cool. Ground squirrels and rabbits too. I don't know how they don't get stickers in their paws. Our poor dogs couldn't walk anywhere without getting poked and stuck.
Hardly any spaces have anyone in them. So sad that it's being overlooked in so many ways. 😪
GuideAbilene is a great state park with lots of space between campsites. We reserved #83 which was listed as a 25' site. We have a Class B with a very low clearance and could not make it up the steep incline to the pad without damage. Park official drove by while we were figuring out what to do and had us move to site 84. Still had an incline but we were able to get onto the pad by using some of our leveling blocks to raise the front end when backing onto the pad. Once on the pad, it was completely level. Used the blocks on departure as well.

Ashley here from The Dyrt! We’re excited to have this new partner online. Close to town and with plenty to do and explore, this property is centrally located . Check them out and post some pictures here!
GuideThe Cedar Grove tent camp area was well wooded with sites that were decently spaced. The sites had a fire ring/grill with a lantern post. There was water spigot close to my site. The restrooms were clean and the showers hot but the heater shower was slow to heat up. Decent views of the stars at night
Guide
We were greeted by the very friendly and welcoming owner, who showed us to our site and stayed until he was sure we would not have any issues at the site. The site was level and the hookups were in very good condition. The site was not too close to neighbors, but did not have a table. The park was mostly dirt with many nice trees typical of this region. There were a few toys around for children and an occasional bench to sit on. The park made for a nice evening stroll.
The RV park is conveniently located near the highway, but not too close. Highway noise was present, but distant and not a bother. There were trains that came through, but no whistles blew. We hardly noticed them and they did not disturb our sleep. The park was quiet and peaceful overall.
We only had 1 bar LTE with Verizon but had no issues with calls or using our hotspot.
This was a very nice place to stay a night while traveling. We will stay again when traveling this way. The owner let us know that March would be a good time to visit as nearby Sweetwater hosts its annual rattlesnake roundup.
LegendWhat a nice place to come and unwind!
It's a pretty large place but still small enough to get away from it all! Sites are well spaced so you're not on top of each other... nice! You're far enough away from town to make it inconvenient to just get up and go but still close if you want to go out for dinner or get some groceries.
Sites are "lay of the land" so be sure to have plenty of blocks/boards to help level out your rig, kinda typical for a state park.
The park staff/Rangers are very nice and helpful.
There are two trails to hike if you need something to do and can't use the lake. Check them out on the "Trailforks and/or GaiaGps" hiking apps. (https://www.trailforks.com/ridelog/view/46383104/) (https://www.trailforks.com/ridelog/view/46377598/)

My husband and I are on a very long road trip. Last night around 3:30 am we were getting extremely tired and needed to make a stop for some sleep. All of the rest areas were completely full, the normal camp sites were not able to be booked and so we pulled up the Dyrt for a last minute free spot. The area was not hard to find, the stars are breathtaking, it was nice and very quite. I didn’t see much trash at all ether! It is simply a great place to stop for the night. We woke up to a very nice sun rise of wind turbines and a lake with duckies! Simply amazing.
