Love staying at Livingston. It is close enough to Houston that we can have a quick get away, but still be away from things that you can enjoy. The park is very well maintained, and the trails are good. A lot of people fish the lake, but I haven’t had a lot of luck - that doesn’t mean anything, though 🤣
Scout
I booked this site because it shows wifi as an amenity. However, the wifi is a pay-by-the-day only offer.

TravelerClean, plenty of spaces, tents and RV’s. Nice fire pit. Nice lake view and water fun!
GuideStaff is very helpful but we had a thousand trails membership so I don’t know the cost
TravelerAmazing with families with children to awaken and go out to shop and modest the entire day pass rides!! This spot is a Should go!!! delta executor usa
TravelerWe went to watch the Eclipse in October, it was great weather, no clouds. We had a great time. Our RV site was roomy and there were a few sites surrounding us that were not occupied, which allowed us to spread out, kicking soccer balls and throwing footballs. The kids loved it. The boat launch is nice, we didn't have any watercrafts but will maybe try to bring a kayak or canoe next time we visit.
The location is not far from The Woodlands and Houston, and other attractions. But still in a quiet area.
GuideThis has got to be one of the best campgrounds! We stay here every time we pass through Texas. The campground is huge and offers so many great amenities. People are always super friendly. We have made the most connections of any stay at this campground because of it. I always want to get one of the paved sites at the front because they look so nice! But they are usually taken. It’s so great having an Amazon hub locker right next to the campground as well! You can take your kayak right on to the lake from the access area on the campground. Bathrooms are nice and clean. And the pool / hot tub are open until 11pm which is rare for Thousand Trails!
TravelerWell maintained, friendly staff, awesomely hot showers, pretty lake.
Can hear cars from the road outside the park :(
Guide
We loved this campground. Stayed one night on our way to Houston. Then We stayed one more night on our way back home. Site 18 was pretty level and had full hook ups. The campground overall was really very quiet and peaceful. Was approx 2 miles off highway 59. Had a great playground area for kids and we loved walking down to the lake. The lady running the office was super kind and very helpful. If we ever get back to this area again we will be sure to stay for more than one night.
TravelerAs a TT member you can't best the price for a very nice park.
GuideNice amenities, everything is close, unlike some Thousand Trails. Seemed very up-to-date. Reserved 3 nights and extended for a 4th.
Traveler
 We were in site 33 on the water’s edge. The sites are nicely spaced.
GuideThis resort is perfect! With a great pool, hot tub, playground, tennis courts, basketball courts, a lake with a beach and much more this is a great place for a family vacation.
TravelerThey got it all here! New spots and pavilion they put in look great. Not surprised so many people choose to stay long-term.
RangerIt’s a large campground and spaces are very small. There’s a grass strip between camp sites. No picnic tables or grills. The office gave us a map and showed us how to get to our site but virtually impossible to understand. A very nice gentleman that stayed here took us to our site. He said they have no idea how to do directions and a buddy of his really messed up his camper by trolling around looking for their site. It’s very crowded and no room for awnings or for both campers side by side to put out awnings. There is a pool but it doesn’t look well maintained and there’s absolutely no chairs. Just the pool and it’s small. Laundry room is large. There’s no dog park or anywhere to walk your dog. Signs everywhere that say no pets, yet they are allowed. The flea market is only on the wknd. It’s close to a lot of restaurants and in a nice area.

LegendThis Park is on the edge of being a 5 STAR park...
PROS
Senior Discount
Check-in at the gate without leaving vehicle NO street lights in A3 campground, so good dark sky viewing(when neighbors don’t have a dozen campsite lights illuminating 3-4 campsites)
Very very quiet Sunday thru Wednesday
Site 62 backs up to Lake Livingston so excellent view of lake and easy accessibility from lakefront campsites
Site 62 12 ft wide concrete parking pad level
Moveable wooden and metal picnic table on concrete pad
Metal fire ring(no cooking grate)
Pedestal BBQ grill Campsite utility hook-ups in good condition with no problems encountered
Trash pickup at each campsite 3 times daily
Pristine grounds
Very clean toilet/shower facility; it took 3 men 2 hours in a Monday to clean one facility, but no cleaning Tuesday or Wednesday or Thursday(didn’t even pick up the trash)!
Constable manning gate after normal gate hours
Roped off lake swimming area
Small playground near swimming area
CONS
Paid$3.50 reservation fee for completing 100% on-line reservation
On Day#2 of our stay, a neighbor camper came to us to inform us that the park manager just stopped by his site(we were at our site and saw him) to let him know there was a burn ban established for the next 7 days and that he need to spread the word to other campers. Two days later we saw a small burn ban sign posted at the toilet/shower facility. Communicating this crucial information needs improved. Perhaps posting signs throughout the park, especially at the entrance.
Trip hazard on the picnic table concrete where someone cut the chains that held the table in place
Numerous dogs roaming…no leash and no human
Absolutely no privacy from any other campsite as there is no vegetation between campsites
No evening trash pickup so have to store trash created by evening cooking
Gate was not closed overnight
Camp store and water craft rental closed Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday
No wildlife sightings
No park WIFI
No camp hosts
3 bars TMOBILE in A3 campground with no problems live-streaming with TMOBILE hotspot device
ScoutAll the RV pads are nice concrete pads, with ample space between sites. Piney Shores is the best loop with full hookups and nice view of the lake.
ScoutThe spots are a good distance from each other and have lots of trees
GuideLoved our time at this park. Site was spacious though couldn’t get right on the water. Friendly neighbors and staff. Store on site. Fishing for catfish from the bank was great.
TravelerI don't personally love being so close to so many people, but everything is very nice, well maintained and clean.
GuideThe Resort is full during springbreak.
TravelerNice park with some nice, short, well maintained trails. Not much to do in town, a few shops.
ScoutThe camping spots were easy to set up in with access to water and electricity. The only downside was that the camping spot we were in was really close to the other sites so you'll have very little privacy. The camp store was run by friendly helpful people and the facilities were clean. Just be aware that during October there is a group that camps there yearly that can get quite loud.
GuideThis place is very nice, but no one is enforcing the rules. Dogs being walked with no leashes, and not picking up behind them. 9 year olds driving golf carts with the adults on the back. Kids in hot tub, even diapered babies, and I saw an offensive flag flying. All of these have rules against them at the park, but I saw no one patrolling the park to enforce any of it! They need to pave the roads, it's so full of potholes and uneven pavement very rough to drive. There's a very small section of paved sites. The rest is on uneven graveled ground and so close together I couldn't walk between our site and the RV parked next to us. Sites NOT assigned, we were told to go find a spot, then come back and tell them what spot we were in. It was so crowded that this process took us about 45 minutes to do. Then go back and get the parking passes for the park. If not for all that I would have given this park 5 stars.
TravelerIf you like quiet, fishing, and trees this campground is for you. Full hookups, friendly staff, laundry, and showers.
