The Nicest without Nature
We prefer the peace of nature and solitude, however for clean, accommodating, updated and comfortable, this is, without a doubt, the nicest campground we have ever visited! Pull through or back in sites. Immaculate bathrooms, spacious showers, pool, tv lounge, dog park, dog wash, etc. Most of the things we didn't use. Even though it was very near I-35, with our air conditioner running, we didn't hear a thing. It is set back a ways and behind trees and a fence, with a coded entry gate. Very secure.

Gather Campground
Under previous management this place was amazing
We had a very positive experience at this campground when Thomas and Grae were managing it. Unfortunately, since the change in management, our experience has changed considerably. Several new rules have been implemented, but residents were not notified by email, text, or any other form of communication. However, management did not hesitate to send unpleasant emails when we unknowingly violated rules we had never been told about. The new office staff have been rude and, in our experience, seem more focused on themselves and TikTok than on serving the residents. One of our biggest concerns has been the lack of communication. Charges have been added to our account without an invoice, email, or explanation. During the two years we stayed here, we also experienced multiple serious electrical issues with the campground’s power. On two occasions, the power to our site either shut off unexpectedly in the middle of the night or caused an electrical fire. When these incidents occurred, no one was available to assist us. We tried calling the after-hours contact number but were unable to reach anyone. The playground has also been closed for several weeks because of rattlesnake concerns, yet residents were not given clear information or updates. My daughter and I played there for several hours. We went home to get a snack and some water, and when we returned, we found a paper sign stating that the playground was closed permanently because of a rattlesnake infestation. Residents, especially families with young children, should have been clearly notified about this safety issue. The sense of community has also changed. Under the previous management, the campground hosted cookouts and other activities that made the park feel welcoming and family-friendly. Unfortunately, those activities have stopped, and the overall atmosphere no longer feels the same. It is disappointing to see how much the campground has changed. We truly enjoyed staying here under the previous management, but based on our recent experiences, we have significant concerns about communication, safety, customer service, and the overall management of the park.

Great peaceful stay near the Colorado River
We stayed here for a weekend getaway in the cabin. The sites are spacious, quiet, and right near the Colorado River with easy access to hiking and fishing. During our evening downtime relaxing in the cabin, we checked out Class of '09 Online on a laptop. Great facilities, clean restrooms, and friendly staff. Highly recommend for anyone looking to camp near Bastrop!

Hidden Creek RV Resort
Excellent facilities and Staff
I have been staying at Hidden Creek RV in Bryan, Texas, during football season for numerous years, and it is always a great experience. The staff is consistently friendly, and the park is equipped with all the amenities you could need. I love how clean the grounds are and that there is plenty of room to walk the dogs. The location is perfect for an easy drive around the College Station and Bryan area. Additionally, they stay in constant communication prior to arrival, making the entire process seamless. Highly recommended!

Guide to Rockdale
Rockdale, Texas sits in the rolling hills of Milam County with elevations ranging from 400-500 feet above sea level. The region experiences hot summers with temperatures often exceeding 95°F and mild winters, making year-round camping possible. Camping options near Rockdale include both established RV resorts and more rustic sites along the San Gabriel and Colorado Rivers, with both 30-amp and 50-amp electrical service available at most facilities.
What to do
River activities: Access to the Colorado River at River Forest Haven provides opportunities for tubing, fishing, and water recreation. As camper Guillermo L. notes, "The tubing is great for people with children who don't necessarily want to go tubing two to four hours... Very short route but water safety should be practiced as it is very deep in some areas."
Historical exploration: Visit Spanish mission sites near Downtown Texas RV Park, where you can find historical markers detailing the region's colonial past. One camper explains, "The campground sits on the site of one of the old Spanish missions from the days when Spain was colonizing Texas. There's a neat story about the garrison commander killing one of the Priests in a feud over an affair."
Walking trails: Explore wooded paths at several campgrounds in the area. At Hidden Creek RV Resort, trails wind through surrounding woods, with one visitor commenting, "Woods with trails allow for walking, with or without the dogs."
What campers like
Spacious sites: Ample room between camping spots at Brazos Valley RV Park provides privacy not found at all RV sites near Rockdale, Texas. As reviewer James G. noted, "Site was more than wide enough and more than long enough for my total 62 foot rig." Another camper appreciated that "very well maintained, clean, nice big spaces and good distance between you and your neighbor."
Shade coverage: Mature trees provide relief from Texas heat at several campgrounds. Colinas RV Park offers "an abundance of shade and trees creates a peaceful haven," according to one camper review.
On-site amenities: Clean facilities and extra services make stays more comfortable. A camper at River Forest Haven shared, "The people who staff this park could not work harder to make your stay incredible. We really enjoyed tubing and fishing, but the campfires were the best. The staff will deliver a generous amount of dry fire wood for $15."
What you should know
Site assignment policies: Some campgrounds don't guarantee specific spots. At River Forest Haven, one camper noted: "Down side is it isn't assigned sites, so if your self contained like my van we went out for the day and came back to someone set up in our spot."
Fire regulations: Rules vary between campgrounds. While fires are permitted at several campgrounds with available firewood delivery, others prohibit open flames. Always check current fire restrictions, especially during dry summer months.
Accessibility challenges: Some camping areas require special vehicles. As one River Forest Haven visitor cautioned, "4x4 needed for some sites. Super cool to get tucked into the woods. Some of the spots are secluded and others aren't."
Tips for camping with families
Short tubing routes: Kid-friendly water activities at Berry Springs RV Park and nearby areas provide safer options for younger children. One reviewer at River Forest Haven mentioned it's "a convenient location near Austin and was on the Colorado River" and "seems like it would be a nice family spot in the warmer weather."
Weather preparation: Plan for seasonal conditions. Summer temperatures regularly exceed 95°F, so bring plenty of water and sun protection. Winter camping is mild but can see occasional freezing temperatures, with RV parks remaining open year-round.
Nearby attractions: Supplement camping with educational stops. Many campers combine their stay with visits to nearby historical sites. "It's also near the Berry Spring Preserve which has great picnic and an interesting history," noted one camper.
Tips from RVers
Extended stay amenities: Laundry and shower facilities are important for longer visits. Oak Forest RV Park offers "Five star private bathrooms, pool areas are clean and well kept," according to camper Brenda M. Another visitor mentioned, "Laundry facilities on-site are credit card operated."
Utility reliability: Water and power access varies by location. One Oak Forest camper noted during severe weather: "We experienced the Austin winter storm 2021 and although we were without water hookup for 1 week we never lost power."
After-hours access considerations: Check specific gate policies when booking RV sites near Rockdale, Texas. Some parks have restricted entrance times, so obtain access codes during check-in if you plan late-night arrivals or departures.
