The pull through site was nice with plenty of shade. The site are far enough apart so you don’t feel you are in top of your neighbors. There was a fire ban at the time of our visit so we weren’t able to enjoy the fire pit. The near by visitor center was interesting.

Campsites are a little close together, but well equipped otherwise. Went for The water park, which is a blast, and campsites are within easy walking distance. There are a ton of other activities as well - putt-putt, laser tag, paddle boats, fishing, etc. also had curbside trash pickup which was nice.
Would have been nice if there were some incentives for the water park for campers - early entrance, or discount, but that would be the only thing I would add.
ScoutWe have visited this park on two occasions. On two occasions, we embarked on trips with our travel drive mad trailer.

I really don't enjoy myself the police officers are very racist towards minorities and I don't think I could go back not a great place.

LCRA Bastrop Lake North Shore was a beautiful location, great beach access, and warm water. We stayed in sites 71, a pull through, and 76, a back in. Sites are large and accommodating a variety of rigs. Undesirableness of the park --Grounds were not kept very well. Huge fire ant mounds everywhere. Grass was pretty tall, making it very difficult to watch for ant mounds, not to mention snakes. We were there for an entire week Monday-Monday, and you would think that they would make sure the Grounds were mowed and ready for a busy weekend, this was not the case.
LegendWe had no problem finding this interesting state park as our RV GPS took us right to the gate and we had been to this campground (CG) two years ago. This time, we knew better than to park at the office's stop sign to register, which is where most CGs have you stop when registering. There’s a sign that says not to park there but to pull forward. Last time we, didn't read the stop sign and got our butt chewed by a park ranger. As we are disabled veterans, we also got new Texas State Park passes, so we did not have to pay the additional$5 per person state park entry fee on top of the camping fee. You do not have to be a Texas resident but you need to be at least 60 percent service disabled. The same very nice and knowledgeable lady from last time checked us in and we proceeded to pull through site 17 with FHUs, but only 30 AMP. The utilities are placed centered on the site, which is nice. The water pressure here is on the low side at around 30-35 psi. The sites are nearby, but the spacious yard has a cement patio, picnic table, and fire pit. We had no problem getting our 40’ 5th wheel in the site but had to park our F450 at an angle in front of the rig. We got 2 bars on Verizon and were able to place our Starlink to get a shot of the northern sky. There are a lot of mature trees in this CG, so the satellite is going to depend on the site. As we checked in, we were told several trails had opened back up as the area was recovering from heavy rain and flooding. The golf course, now private, had opened back up as well, but there was still a lot of water on the course when we were there in February.
GuideThe only reason I gave it 4stars is because of a lot of street noise outside the park. The park itself is beautiful and quiet. Great bathroom fac; very new and clean. All of the tent sides have sand tent pads, but if you’re a hammock camper be sure the trees fit your kit.

Nice and secluded on a lake. Clean, quiet, and not crowded. Great fishing lake!

RangerWe have been to this park twice. Once as our very first trip with our travel trailer (Site 24), and once again this year (Site 13). This park is really nice for hiking, biking, or just relaxing.
Great trails for all exercise levels. Lots of places to stop and rest, or just sit and take in nature for a while.
Just be careful, if Google GPS tries to take you to the back gate... :) It's a tiny road, and a dead end.
ScoutThis is a great campground with lots to do. It is awesome like geometry dash lite. We camped: the camp pitch was fairly level with electric hookup, water supply close to the tent and a fire pit for each pitch. There are also RV hookups as well. My kids totally enjoyed the laser tag, there is also a boating pond, fishing and live music on a Saturday night. The toilet block was the cleanest I have ever seen on a campsite- it was as clean as many hotels I have stayed in. One good advice for anyone staying in a campsite in Texas: compared to campsites in more temperate climes, Texas campsites are dusty and have as much dirt as grass on the pitches(and this site is no exception). Bring a tarp to put under your tent- it will be a lot easier to clean than the bottom of a sewn-in groundsheet when you get home.

The area was quiet, bath house was brand new and very nice! Excellent cell connection and nice shady area.
Guidewent there just to hike a little but ended up discovering wildflowers has recently bloomed and greening!! we had to extend our hike just to see more wildflowers and wild raspberries that had grown right by the trail
TravelerStayed here for one night while traveling through. We wish we had a little more time to spend here. It's a large campground, with lots of choices of types of spaces to stay, i.e. by the water under the trees, or in an open area.
We appreciate that it was quiet at night. Customer service was very courteous and friendly.
GuideFirst time there and was really impressed with this campground. The slots are a great price and big sites, most have a metal pavilion over the picnic table, which was convenient. Sites are very level, wide and deep. All the sites have great views of the lake and even if you aren’t on a lake front, there is plenty of access to the lake all around the grounds. Paved roads which was great for bikes or even electric scooters. Wooded trails and lots of wildlife. Lots of deer all over the grounds in the evening variety of birds. The campground sites on a giant peninsula, which gives so much shoreline, which is managed by the Army Corp. of Engineers, so it’s well maintained and undeveloped. Multiple boat ramps and sites that are on the shoreline, which have a shallow bank, so you can Anchor your boat right off the bank and have walk up access to your campsite and boat. Wild Bills is right across the street, which has all the little things you may have forgot to bring or ability to restock on some beverages and snacks. It’s a 10-15 min bike ride from your campsite or a 5 min drive. Very convenient. Bryan, Tx is only 25 mins away and has a Super Walmart with Curbside service if you need to grab something more specific or a larger grocery order. Quick and easy. College Station was about 45mins away and it’s all easy driving.
It can get pretty windy if you book a slot down lower at the tip of the peninsula, but they will let you swap spaces whenever you want to if there is something available. The campsite up the hill are pretty protected from the wind, so regardless of the wind they have options if it’s more than what you want to deal with. Definitely my place to camp when visiting Somerville. They also let me check-in early when the previous camper left early, so I really appreciated that as well.
GuideThe nicest and warmest bath house so far. The park is awesome. If one is near it’s a must stay.
ScoutStarlink is pretty quick here and T-Mobile is smoking fast.
Management is kind, courteous, and quick to fix any issues. It’s a hidden gem of Texas to be sure.
ScoutThe staff is great. The park is very nice. Its newer part has no mature trees or other wind block so it windy alot of the time. Other then that, we enjoyed it very much.
LegendVery nice FHU pull thru sites with 5 camp hosts, who, according to signage, they clean the toilets and shower facilities. Quiet NYE weekend with 10 FHU sites vacant! Two New toilet/shower facilities for campgrounds. A herd of whitetail deer wanders thru campground in morning and evening.
GuideWe love it here. Right on the Colorado river plus two ponds to fish in. Lots of places to walk or ride your bikes. Management is very friendly and helpful. Their are also deer everywhere. They have off leash area for fur babies
ScoutNice campground. Clean restrooms, and good hiking trails.

Lockhart State Park
So first the best, in my opinion, thing about Lockhart SP; it’s a few miles from Lockhart City where there is some DELICIOUS food!! Smitty’s is my favorite! I will actually travel HOURS off my driving route to stop by!
So…back to the Lockhart State Park. If you golf you will love Lockhart. Don’t get me wrong there are a few trails and historical CCC things to explore, but it seemed to me the golf was the main focus. There’s also a cement pond to relax around. The campground was adequate, roofed picnic areas and grills at each site. Not much in the way of shade. On the up side you won’t get lost in the camping area. The showerhouse was well maintained and small. The staff , the ones I met, were also adequate.
Did I mention the nearby EXCELLENT food?
Scout
15 per person just to stay the night.
ScoutClean park. Restrooms rival Buccee's. Friendly, helpful rangers. RV sites clean. Bring levels. City water is safe to drink. Will be a 5 star once dam is complete and lake is refilled.
TravelerQuiet, nice park for TX. Downtown Lockhart is very close with great food and wine.
TravelerCheap ice for sale at the office, nice park with pretty sites. No complaints
GuideThis campground is one of the nicest Thousand Trails Collection campgrounds we have ever stayed at! They have large FHU sites with 30/50amp and beautiful views! The park is currently being completely overhauled with new sites, hook-ups, roads, community center, offices and more. We can’t wait to come back and see it when it’s completed! 👍🏻😬 They have nice amenities such as mini golf, pool, boat launch, pickleball, basketball, trails, etc. We really enjoyed our stay here and highly recommend it if you are in the area.
