Good place to stay the night because it’s close the 35W, but we’re literally within arms reach of the rv next to us.

The region includes several developed campgrounds with electric hookups, water access, and covered picnic areas, particularly around Lake Georgetown and Lake Somerville.

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.

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!

Roger's Park
Roger's Park
It was discovered by a guy named Roger who was drunk and stumbled down a limestone wall and he had to climb his way out of it. It is a three and a half mile stretch of limestone wall ranging from 10 ft to its highest point being about 25 to 30. There are all kinds of routes and it's really just a few people type of spot. There is a small fire circle and all trash is taken out. It overlooks lake Belton and right around the way there is a boat ramp. You parked back on the road and have to hike all of maybe 200 ft at the most. Don't forget to lock your doors and bring anything valuable to the site with you.

Very nice, well maintained park!
This is a small park with a lot to offer. Short stay but can’t wait to come back!
Great birding, well marked trails and cool history, especially as it relates to the CCC.

Management
I arrived to this campsite Bel-Air RV Park in Temple, Texas at 4:30 PM. The office was already closed. I called the number that was provided. No one answered. The email that was sent to me did not have my campsite and I had no idea where to go the gate code. Nothing. I knew that the manager lived upstairs and I honked and her husband came down and let me know that my campsite was 131 and the code for the gate. Since then it’s been one chaotic adventure after another. I get random text messages from the office saying that my checkout time is at 11 o’clock, which is always an incorrect text. I’m a traveling nurse took a three month assignment and signed a three month lease on this pad site so these random text messages move out date was always very annoying.
Guide to Cameron
Camping near Cameron, Texas centers around lakes and reservoirs with varied terrain from open grassland to cedar-filled hillsides. Several campgrounds sit along Lake Granger and Lake Belton, with water access being a significant draw for anglers and swimmers. Summer temperatures in these areas require shade consideration, while the wildlife viewing opportunities include deer, turkey, and various bird species throughout the camping season.
What to do
Fishing opportunities: Cedar Ridge Park on Lake Belton attracts anglers year-round. "Fishing is great. Campers next to us cleaned fish the evening we arrived and the next morning," notes Jim P. who stayed at Cedar Ridge.
Swimming beaches: Several campgrounds maintain designated swimming areas. At Wilson H Fox, visitors appreciate the water access. "This campsite is nice because it has a swimming area as well as a ton of good fishing spots," writes Quentin D.
Wildlife viewing: The parks around Cameron host abundant wildlife. Cedar Ridge campers regularly see "large groups of deer, turkey etc just wandering around," according to Jeff H., making wildlife observation a passive activity from most campsites.
Historic exploration: The area contains significant historical sites. Downtown Texas RV Park sits "on the site of one of the old Spanish missions from the days when Spain was colonizing Texas," reports Mark S., with historical markers explaining the area's colonial past.
What campers like
Lakeside sites: Many campers value water views. At Wilson H Fox, campers find "sites here that overlook the water, and have some paths down to the shore," notes Joseph C., though he cautions some paths can be "sketchy."
Covered picnic areas: The shade structures receive consistent praise across multiple campgrounds. Joseph C. describes the covered areas at Wilson H Fox as "a good place to set up, and there are lots of hooks and nails to hang stuff up."
Site spacing: Taylor Park gets positive reviews for its layout. "I love that your neighbors are not backed right up to you," writes Deb, while Christine W. notes that sites have "a shade structure, picnic table, fire ring, and grill."
Natural environment: Cedar Ridge receives praise for its scenery. Stephanie A. describes it as a "very nice campground with trees and hills and wildlife," mentioning they "loved the view and the shade" and "saw lots of deer and birds."
What you should know
Bathroom maintenance: Variable bathroom conditions exist across campgrounds. At Wilson H Fox, Bobby A. notes "They were not doing a good job of keeping the bathrooms clean," while Christine W. found Taylor Park bathrooms "clean" but mentioned "only 1 toilet was working."
Water hookups: Most established campgrounds offer water connections, but quality varies. At Cedar Ridge, one camper advises "I dont recommend drinking the water, we hooked up an osmosis and it was fine."
Reservations: Securing spots can be challenging at popular locations. Deb says of Cedar Ridge Park, "I really like this place but it's hard to get a spot."
Insects: Bug protection is necessary, particularly for chiggers. Heather M. warns about Cedar Ridge: "The only thing I dont like about this place is the chiggers and other bugs. Bring your lavender oil to keep those chiggers off."
Tips for camping with families
Playground access: Several campgrounds feature play areas for children. Mary S. notes that Taylor Park has a "Great playground for kids," while Heather M. confirms Cedar Ridge also offers playground facilities.
Swimming safety: Designated swimming areas provide safer water access. At Wilson H Fox, Mary S. simply notes there's a "Great swimming area," which is more structured than lakeside sites without designated swimming spots.
Hiking with kids: Taylor Park offers trails, though some navigation issues exist. Jeanette W. reports "The trail was not correctly mapped and there was no museum as indicated on the trail map."
Wildlife viewing for children: Friendship Park offers excellent wildlife spotting opportunities. Arvis C. says "This is a great place to bring the children for a picnic and a swim at the swimming beach. There are abundance of deer and rabbits, bird watching is fantastic."
Tips from RVers
Site leveling: Some campgrounds offer more level sites than others. Jim P. found Cedar Ridge spot 62 "was mostly level" for their "class B camper van."
Hookup availability: Most campgrounds offer partial hookups only. Cody D. notes Cedar Ridge "Has 30 & 50 amp hookups with water does not have sewer hookups at sites but does have dump station close by."
Big rig access: Several campgrounds accommodate larger RVs. At Wilson H Fox, Roscoe's R. recommends to "study the park map" to find "spots are spacious, some large" noting they stayed in "site 24" where the "next closest neighbor was 75 feet or better away."
