Rye, Texas

Well maintained and plenty of trails around the lake. Enjoyed two night here. Site 108

This was our first time here at lake Somerville birch creek. It was a great one. We stayed in old hickory loop. Lots of trees and plenty of shade. Short trip from Houston so we will definitely be going back!

Gorgeous setting, but very crowded. People pull up for the day with no qualms about being in your campsite. It’s noisy. The staff is very kind. Upon leaving we could not believe the piles of garbage left….and there are plenty of dumpsters! Definitely worth visiting, though.

Felt like i was camping on the infield of a racetrack surrounded by a promenade of cars/trucks playing loud music- will be hard-pressed to ever go back

The correct access point is from the SouthEast, via the town of Marquez. From the four way stop in Marquez, head North about a quarter mile and then make a left on 1146 just before…

It was very beautiful and we enjoyed our stay but the Rv campsites were very close together so if you’re looking for a separated from everyone else kind of campsite this isn’t the one for you. We also discovered that the cellphone signal for Verizon wasn’t that great when the Rv next to us came. It…

I'm surprised no one else has reviewed this place yet, it is awesome! Other than the occasional local on their boats making noise, this place was pretty serene. The drive to the location is very rural once you exit 45. Many nice folks in the community here were waving at me when I drove by.

I…

We stayed equestrian site 4 which is a fairly private site. Moon was nearly full and the coyotes were howling all night long. All in all it was a nice small state park with great views of Lake Somerville.

This is the second time we have stayed here. This time was from Christmas Eve until the Sunday after. This place doesn’t disappoint. There are nice hiking trails. The lake views are beautiful. All the campsites appear to be very well kept. My husband went fishing for a bit. He didn’t catch…

Be sure to test the water before entering. It's seems harmess and may very well be harmless but it will make you and your pets stinky. Easy access to low current knee high water below the damage and easy and fun to walk/ wade around in but again, will lightly stain your clothes and have you…

Full hookups good concrete pads very well taken care of and an absolute joy to stay at. We will be returning in the near future.

awesome view of the river. people don't clean up when they leave but easier for me to start a little campfire. love the sounds of the river. perfect little off grid place for me to get away from the city on a weekend. I use to come with family all the time as a kid.

Well spaced spots.  Fairly level pads with table, fire ring, 30/50 amp electrical, water.  We didn't see any covered tables, but all usable spots had concrete pads for tables.  Like a lot of east-Texas camping areas, LSSP was also devastated by Hurricane Harvey and is still recovering, but don't…

We stayed in the Old Hickory loop. Each site had trees surrounding it and they are decently spaced out. The park has trails within it, as well as the Trailway for long hikes and mountain biking. The day use area is nice for swimming in the lake.

Lots of shaded coverage, amazing trails, amazing views.
