  Abilene State Park Campground

  Tucked away in the trees

  Smaller state park with lots of shade in the Texas heat. The areas has plenty of place to picnic and walk around. A few trails with a small pond that connects a few together. There is also a pool area this must be booked along with your site reservations. There are also place to tent camp, cabins and yurts with electricity to rent. The sites vary from full hookups to water and electricity. Each site is private and not to close each with plenty of privacy. There is also a lake that’s outside of campsite area that can be busted up the road.

  Two things I love:

  1. Shade and privacy
  2. Picnic table and fire pit at full site hook up.

  One thing I didn’t like:

  1. Road is currently damaged for easier exit so their is a detour.

  Lake Colorado City State Park Campground

  Beautiful!

  This place was so beautiful! Wildflowers everywhere, birds, ground squirrels. Very well maintained and clean. We rented 2 cabins and they were very well kept. Lots of trails to walk going down to the water. A nice swimming beach. Everything was just perfect! Amazing weekend getaway!

  Lake Colorado City State Park Campground

  Nice simple cabin with AC

  We stayed at cabin 3 on the lake. It was a large roomy cabin with a small fridge, microwave and a great woodsy feel. We arrived at night and it was a little confusing to find the cabins because the park is so large. The lake was really beautiful and I would halve loved the chance to explore the water on canoe or kayak, but we only stayed one night on the way to Dallas. The morning was beautiful, cardinals and other types of colorful birds were flying all around and the temperature even in mid July was perfect. At night we had the AC on since it was a little too warm to sleep. The stone/cement cabin was very large with plenty of room both on the floor and in the bunk/captains bed, with vaulted ceilings. The only negatives were the bugs, they were GIANT! And the fact that the beds have no sheets, we had to stop on the way to get sheets, but it was worth it. And honestly if we would have brought our sleeping bags it would have been a great to sleep in!

  Lake Colorado City State Park Campground

  The norm

  The state park has several camp sites, cabins also. Sites range from water only to water and electric. The campground was quiet and isolated, it may not feel this way in the summer of it gets crowded. Many of the camp pads have an awning and picnic table, several are lakefront (although the lake is very low), all are flat. There is a restroom with showers, fishing pier, and playground. Trail access is easy and the short trail is very well marked and worth the trek. The roadrunner loop is poorly marked and clearly not well maintained or used.

  Abilene State Park Campground

  Small park, but awesome !

  For being a small state park it offers a lot of nice camping sights, for RVs and tents alike. There’s creeks running through the park aswell as a small fishing pond with crystal clear water. Nice easy hiking trails, and a bird blind. Just a nice getaway from civilization. We go there very often just to be outside and breath fresh air. And if you camp there, make sure to look up at night, what a view!

  Abilene State Park Campground

  little getaway

  I used to go here a ton when I went to school in Abilene at Hardin-Simmons. It was not too far of a drive from the campus, and I even took class trips out here for our botany class. Campgrounds are decent (I have heard they have been much improved since I've been there). My times here were always fun little getaways from college life that provided me with a good time to unwind and relax. Trees aren't too tall for providing shade, and there are tons of mesquite trees, so watch out for thorns while you're walking.

  Lake Colorado City State Park Campground

  Wonderful place to get away from it all!

  What 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/)

  Lake Colorado City State Park Campground

  Nope nope nope

  I hate to dog on a Texas state park, but this one was rough. In all honesty, we left and didn’t even stay a night once we got to our site. When we were driving in we noticed it was pretty flat and not a lot of trees, which is normal for this part of Texas. When we got to the check-in station there was a sign that said there was toxic sludge in the lake and to not go near it, and when we got to our site it was pretty much an open field covered in stickers with a metal swing set in the middle. My 9 and 7 year old voted to just muscle through another 4 hours of driving and just go home instead of staying the night there. Maybe it was just bad timing, but I’m not sure I’ll go back.

  Red Arroyo Campground

  It's ok. $20 + $4 per person

  This is the 2nd Texas state park I've stayed at. Both have a weird design. Bathrooms are at 1 end of sites. I was driving distance. It was cold, 20 degrees . This place suffers from long term neglect. Peeling paint, broken trim , It's a beautiful place. Great views. Bison, long horn and tons of deer.

  Great experience for Labor Day weekend

  This Texas state park was really nice, lots of shade for my dog and lots of friendly people. During the day lots of squirrels running around and at night raccoons and armadillos. The park is kept up with its cleanliness. Also there is restrooms and showers here.

  Clean and quiet

  The park is nice and clean. Very quiet, it is November and cold for Texas. 50amp service and water only. WiFi is present but currently no internet. Spots aren’t quite level but close enough for an easy setup. Fire rings, and covered picnic tables at each spot. Plenty of space for activities for kids/dogs.

  Lake Colorado City State Park Campground

  Finally found some solitude

  The park was at about 10% occupancy so when I got there one dog chained to a trailer without a tow vehicle in sight, apparently left there alone, was barking at me for a brief while. Hey jerks, don't do that to your dog or your neighbors. Mostly it was very quiet with only a couple quiet neighbors over the weekend. I was there for five nights with a great view of the lake and the power plant. The office was not man when I got there so I did not have that little slip of paper to tape to my window like at most Texas State parks. Not a problem.

  Abilene State Park Campground

  Great family campground

  As with most every Texas State Park, the sites are well maintained and clean. Pads are level with plenty of room to get and out. Separate “Tent Only” sites are available. Lots of shade from trees throughout the park. First visit to this park on my way up to Colorado. Nice stop over when driving from Austin. Phone signal was not the best(booster helped). I was able to get internet using my phone as a hot spot for laptop.

  This was first time at this park and I noted several families with kiddos enjoying the park, I was just passing through but would definitely stay again,

  Abilene State Park Campground

  Extremely Safe and Family Friendly

  We stayed in a tent only spot for 8 days in Dec. Really quiet even with a trail behind us. Lots of winding beautiful trails. One of the cheaper Texas State Parks so the trails aren't very long.

  BUT the real hidden gem was in the bathroom by the yurts. They have a disabled shower. So it's within reach and the showerhead is lower. Awesome to use to clean my toddler without getting drenched.

  Felt very safe, even walking around past dark. We saw feral hogs a few times at dusk. Really loved it.

  The playground isn't very good but you are 20 minutes from Abilene with oodles of great parks and a small zoo.

  wagon wheel reconfigured

  Stayed here nine nights this year in the wagon wheel. Reserveamerica.com a.k.a. Texas State Parks Reservations showed on their map sites one through 16. Google maps Street view showed sites one through 32. Rare for Google maps to have Street view pictures of the internals of a State Park. When I got there, I realized they had reconfigured what was 32 separate sites with their own pedestal to 16 sites with a pair of pedestals each, nicely spread out. Beside me there was one or two other campers the whole time I was there weather got real cold, 16°. I camped in sight seven, which was near the entrance to a trail and fishing spot. There was very little traffic even on the weekend in January.

  Hard to Find an Activity Not Avaiable

  If 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.

  Spring Creek Marina & RV Park

  Snow-pocolypse

  We were using this as a stop over/mid point in Texas and it happen to be during the crazy article blast that crippled the state. The family who owns and operates the campground were absolutely amazing during rolling black outs, single digit temperatures, and water being shut off due to main breaks. They had propane fill onsite, kept their well stocked general store open, and were so kind and pleasant even though they were working round the clock to keep things running.

  We were able to use the laundry (when the water was on), bath houses were closed (I think for winter). Those areas could probably use a little upkeep, but it didn’t bother us. There was cable and we had great T-Mobile cell service. (I think they had hard wire internet too if you wanted to pay for it)

  Lots of wildlife out an about which was pretty fun to see. Deer and turkey lots of them.

  My family was very lucky to have a camper with heat water and electricity during a time where many were without.

  Abilene State Park Campground

  Hidden Gem

  The name is a little bit of a misnomer, because if you are from Texas…camping in Abilene doesn't sound that great.

  The park is closer to Buffalo Gap, south of Abilene proper and well off of I-20.

  Tent and RV camping options are available as well as yurts and screened shelters. All RV spots have water and electric, and a few spots have sewer.

  This is not a place to do hardcore hiking or biking or back country camping. This is a developed park and not super big.

  The pros though are easy trails that kids and all levels can hike and bike. The sites are well developed and make for easy camping. In the summer it is extremely hot but the pool is fabulous and you can even rent kayaks/canoes to take on Lake Abilene.

  It is a chill campground, a great way to spend a long weekend in the summer hitting the pool and cruising around on your bike. A place you can let your kids roam free and explore.

  Abilene State Park + Trees + Swimming Pool + Lake (sort of)

  Abilene State Park is an interesting park to visit in the middle of Texas. The park is a short drive from the City of Abilene so it receives quite a few visitors on the weekend. During the weekday, you'll find considerably more peace and quiet. 

  You can pick up supplies in the city and there is also a small store within the park office with some snacks and souvenirs.

  The park has a nice grove of trees scattered around the open spaces and the campsites which can provide sanctuary shade from the summer sun. The campsites have clearings for tents, picnic tables, fire pits and water. There are restrooms nearby which have sinks, toilets and shower, all of which could stand some updating. There's a swimming pool which is often the main attraction of this park. 

  When I was planning a visit to the park I thought that it would be nice to be right on the shores of Lake Abilene. However, I discovered that the main park area and campsites are in one area and the access point to the lake is in another area. You actually need to drive outside of the park, down the road and enter into another part of the park. There's a dirt road to access the lakefront and once you are at the lakefront there is a little beach. I guess that this is one reason why so many people appear to prefer hanging out at the swimming pool. 

  The arrangement of the facilities is a little strange and many of the facilities could use an update. For this reason I only rate this park 3 out of 5.

  Red Arroyo Campground

  Well maintained, poor signage

  Very clear instructions on the voicemail for after hours check in. Signs directing you to the campsites were minimal (ex: instead of “red arroyo campsites 1-11”it said “trailer 1-11.” Otherwise it was a well maintained state park, clean bathrooms, flat sites, easy hook ups. Not much to do but some easy hikes and I believe fishing/boating.

  Great place

  I stayed two nights at this campground and found it to be really nice and located on Lake Nasworthy. During the summer months they rent boats and have a little store on site. I’ll definitely go back when I’m passing through. pull through sites are first come, first served with no reservations. You can reserve some back ins.

  Comfortable and quite

  We only stayed overnight but it was very pleasant. It's NOT located on base. Make sure to confirm location when you reserve. It's several miles away from base. Reservations and military required.

  Hot showers with great pressure! Definitely a plus!

  Nice Sites - If you can snag the full hookups

  Really well maintained famcamp. Even the full timers there kept their sites neat and tidy unlike some we’ve been to.

  The water and electric sites had no shade whatsoever. And the full hookups are first come first serve. So beware of you need or want to visit in the summer. I mean hades.

  Oh. No exchange or commissary facilities are close and the base exchange is closed for renovations.

  Very Nice Campground

  Well maintained full sefvice park with plenty of amenities. More than we are used to. The price was average for 30 amp hookups with wifi, cable tv, restrooms, shower and laundry. There is an onsite pool and game room, trash pickup, dog park, and the lake is a short drive away. Parking is level raked gravel but a little close together. There is a municipal airport close by but doesn’t seem to be alot of planes passing over.

  San Angelo KOA - Highly Recommend

  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!
