Nice wooded area, sites are spaced well, clean bathrooms, very family friendly, full of wildlife, gorgeous sunsets and starry night
Due 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.
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!
When the full moon rises, the coyotes can't hold back their excitement!
Large spacious spots with lots of privacy. Deer and birds are all around.
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.
Abilene 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.
The 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
I was the only camper in the Cedar Grove area (mid-October). I saw deer around the campsite and heard coyotes nearby. Got 1 bar with T-mobile very spotty at my site. Took a hot shower and enjoyed some quite breathtaking views all around the park.
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,
A pretty basic state park, kind of in the middle of nowhere. I arrived at 9PM and google maps took me down a bunch of country back roads, which was a little unnerving. I camped in wagon wheel, which was doable, but definitely nothing to write home about. It had zero privacy and most campers seemed confused about which direction to park their vehicles. There was a yurt-like permanent structure in the middle that I was under the impression housed bathrooms, but certainly didn’t appear so. The pool area/buildings were very pretty, but the pool was bone dry. I never saw a single park ranger. I only stayed for one night and likely won’t be back.
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!
We tried to get a site at 530 on a Saturday night in February. Very few sites available for our 24 ft trailer. We did not want to unhook and that is not possible. Used bathroom which was clean. Would try again on a weekday since seems to offer nice hiking.
This must be a happening place in summer with the pool and lots of picnic areas. But in January it is quiet.
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.
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.
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.
I stayed for 3 days at this state park and found it to be really a gem that I didn’t know about. It has a very large swimming pool and tons of hiking trails all over the place. One loop has absolutely no shade at all but the other one is shaded throughout.
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.
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:
One thing I didn’t like:
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.
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.
Great covered picnic area. Plenty of options with the recreation center, pool, and playground. Lots of open space right on the lake.
We reserved a site here for the part of our trip between Hot Springs and Big Bend. It was a pleasant and quiet campground, and had many sites available. The cedars provided shade and the bathhouse was clean with hot water, which was amazing on a long camping road trip. There was a generator or water pump which was fairly loud.
We stayed here twice 10 days apart in December since it was convenient incident to a longer trip. Our first site was in Oak Grove which I thought was much superior to Pecan Grove, site-wise. Pecan Grove 66 was by some nice warm clean bathrooms and showers but the site was up a steep slant and was just barely long enough for our 24 foot trailer. The park host came by and checked on us which was kind. Both sites had oak tree shade and picnic tables and were paved with asphalt.
Sites are electric and have water and 50/30 but no sewer. There’s a simple dump station.
There was a burn ban on but you could definitely smell wood fires both nights.
Small playground, easy hiking trails, and plenty of birds and nature walks. In the summer they have a pool which looked like it would be really nice. Not far from Abilene, we visited the zoo there.
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.
We met with 18 degree temps (Feb) and our truck wouldn't start the next morning. The park staff contacted the BEST repair shop in Abilene for us, and they fixed us right up.
The park is large with many trails, bird feeder, and yurts you can rent. I bet it's nice in Spring.
