    San Saba River RV Park

    Nice Quiet Campground

    Green 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.

    San Saba River RV Park

    Decent For an RV Park

    Not 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.

    Eagle's Nest Village RV Park

    Rustic Park

    This 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

    Eagle's Nest Village RV Park

    Serene and beautifully updated park

    Great 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.

    Exhilarating

    There are coyotes, so you really need to keep an eye on your pets.

    South Area — Colorado Bend State Park Campground

    Serene and rugged

    This 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.

    Edwin King Atwood Park

    Great primitive beach camping

    South Padre Island Beach has approximately 60 miles of primitive beach camping. This area can be accessed from Beach Access #5 and Beach Access #6 and you can camp anywhere north. During the on season access by vehicle is $12 to enter, regardless of the length of stay, though camping cannot exceed 14 days. Offseason is free (from autumn until spring break). During the off season north of access 6 is recommended 4x4 only. Fires, pets, and fishing are allowed, but keep in mind several miles of beach have a road on the other wide of the dunes so keep an eye on pets and children. There are also no amenities and it is recommended to be aware of tides and weather conditions as it can get quite windy on the beach.

    Lots to do!

    This park had a ton of trails and water activities to do. We went on a Monday and left on a Wednesday and the park was pretty full. Lots of people and lots of pets! We had a good time though. Most campsites have lots of shade and room to spread out.
