"It is secluded and once you go through the gates expect to travel around 6
7 miles to reach the campsites. I lost all phone service about 23 mi.es before reaching the gates with Verizon.""The trail there is almost perfectly flat you could definitely bicycle in and out. It’s nice to be right on the river and out of the hustle and bustle of a main camping area."
GuideGreen grass, well spaced concrete pads, and large pecan trees right along the San Saba river. There are full hookups and cable tv. The office is confusing and is down at the golf course office. (Avoid parking in the spaces up against the river and under the pecan trees. A couple of large branches fell on and next to us causing us to move the first night.
GuideNot too bad for a City operated RV Park. It was quiet at night although the flood lights were a little annoying. My electricity did not work but they fixed it quickly. I thought it was $20 a night, but it turns out Friday and Saturday nights are $40 each. Bathroom was clean. The City of San Saba is very nice.
TravelerThis was a quick pick on our way to Lubbock. The place needs some TLC but we had W, E, and sewer. There ain’t anything in Goldthwaite so BYO. The folks who run the place are helpful and the dog park has the only grass in the park. Rustic
TravelerGreat spot for a quick overnight! All hookups worked great, and they're on city water and sewer. The dog park was enormous, and Goldthwaite is a charming town with plenty to do if you look. They have ice, a general store with RV parts, a library, game room, and propane tank refilling. Can't speak highly enough about Greg and Josh, who run the park. Excellent customer service. They said the owners are installing playground equipment and a hot tub soon, so that will make our next trip even better! Best thing was the price. For $35 and electricity and Wi-Fi included, there's not a better value in the county.
ScoutThere are coyotes, so you really need to keep an eye on your pets.
LegendThis park has a variety of campsites available- hike in, walk in, and RV. Hike in sites are approximately a mile from parking and are primitive. The walk in sites are also primitive, but are a short walk from parking down a hill into a grassy field alongside the river. Some sites are tucked under large shade trees, which offers privacy, and some are near the river or in the open field. There is only an outdoor shower, compost toilets, and there is not phone signal at the bottom of the canyon. The area boasts several miles of trails, the park claims these are some of the best mountain biking trails in the state. Trails are rocky and mostly intermediate at best, key sites like Gorman Falls would be challenging for people prone to injuries or who are unfit. There are also springs that can be waded in and the park is very pet friendly.
GuideLove this place! 30/50 electric, water and sewer. Has a clubhouse with a fully stocked kitchen free to use. Showers and laundry. All this plus you can board your pets and horses!! All pull through sites.
