Lake Colorado City State Park Campground, located about 25 miles south of Snyder, offers tent sites, RV hookups, and cabin accommodations with covered picnic tables and lake views.

The region experiences hot summers and mild winters typical of West Texas, with temperatures often exceeding 90°F from June through September. Most campgrounds remain open year-round, though Lake Colorado City State Park can become crowded during cooler months when conditions are more favorable for outdoor activities. Water levels at lakes may fluctuate seasonally, affecting recreational opportunities. Many sites have limited shade, and stickers or goatheads can be problematic for pets and tent campers. Cell service varies throughout the area, with most developed campgrounds maintaining adequate coverage for major carriers. One camper noted, "Stickers and cactus everywhere. Our poor dogs couldn't walk anywhere without getting poked and stuck."

Campers report mixed experiences at developed campgrounds near Snyder. Lake Colorado City State Park receives praise for its wildlife viewing opportunities, with visitors mentioning rabbits, ground squirrels, and bird watching as highlights. Several reviewers appreciate the spacing between campsites and the cleanliness of facilities. The park's proximity to the lake provides scenic views, though water quality concerns have been mentioned in some reviews. RV parks in the area tend to be utilitarian rather than destination-focused, with many serving as convenient overnight stops for travelers along Interstate 20. As one visitor described MS G's RV Park, "The park was not too far off the highway, so traffic noise was prevalent, but after dark it wasn't bad. Nice enough for an overnighter, and we would use it again."

    Lake Colorado City State Park Campground

    Nice, very quiet CG

     We have a 36 ft Class A with a Cherokee Trailhawk tow and stayed in site 41 for 1 night in early September. The CG is clean, well maintained. The CG roads are paved, as are the sites. The site pads themselves are concrete and most looked to be fairly level, but a few had a little bit of slope. Most of the sites were fairly well spaced. The CG, at least on Monday evening, was very quiet and peaceful. There were only 5 other campers in the whole CG. Our site, 41, was a pull-through. There doesn’t seem to be much lake access, at least from the CG areas anyway, except one defunct access from the first CG loop. The trees, mostly mesquite I think, though plentiful, are fairly short and don’t provide much shade. There were a few goathead burrs around so beware.

    AT&T coverage was marginal, with only 2 bars of LTE service and speeds up to 2.9 MB/s. We had a clear view to the N from the front of the site, so Starlink was fine with speeds up to 26 MB/s.

    Lake Colorado City State Park Campground

    Quiet respite

    Stopped here on the way of our Texas from Austin. There are not many options so we took a risk and drove here. It was really hot in June but cooled down nicely a little before sunset. Small trees and shrubs for shade. Covered picnic tables at each site. Lots of rabbits running around so that was fun. We did not go to the lake. Bathrooms were not great. Overall happy with this quiet stop and the scenery was nice.

    Hat Creek RV Park

    Good if you're passing through

    Super bare bones RV park, just a dirt lot with rows of RV spots. It’s right next to an oil facility so there are a lot of workers that stay in this park. We stayed here because we needed showers and laundry and the price with Passport America was good atv$17.50. Even the full price of 35 is decent. We got FHU and a pull through site in the overnight area way in the back. 

    There’s a little playground here, nice showers, and a nice laundry facility. I liked that the laundry had dedicated animal bedding/ oil rig machines so we could wash our dog bedding guilt free. Machines are coin operated, you can get quarters in the office. The office has a nice little store as well, with snacks and beer and basic supplies. There’s free wifi as well. 

    Definitely not a fabulous place to come for fun, but if you’re racing through Texas like we were and need a place to stop for the night this is a great place for it. It’s nice and quiet because everyone is here just to work, it seems. There were many bees and flies clamoring to get into the RV when we stayed here in early December. Good cell reception for attv& verizon. Our poor dogs’ paws were covered in goat heads- we will be buying some dog boots!

    Ruddick City Park

    Great dispersed camping spot

    Very, very quiet in a city park on water there’s only a few spots. I would definitely come back here and stay over a night.

What to do

Wildlife photography opportunities: Lake Colorado City State Park Campground offers excellent chances to capture photos of local wildlife.

What you should know

Weather considerations: High winds can affect travel and camping comfort. "Be careful of the winds when driving in this area, especially on the interstate," cautions a camper.

Variable cell service: Connectivity fluctuates throughout the region. "Starlink worked fine. T-Mobile, Verizon, Visible and Cricket were light on signal strength. Both Verizon and T-Mobile are 5G and download was ok but upload sucked," reports a visitor to Lake Colorado City.

Ground cover challenges: The terrain presents issues for tent campers and pets. "I was planning at camping at this site for 3 days. Upon arrival there was no trees what so ever so bring a canopy shade or something," notes a camper at White Island Park.

Fire restrictions: Burn bans are common in this dry region. "Stayed in the RV site, and everything was as expected. Grounds were kept, clean, and over all park was pretty quite in the evening. My only complaint was that there was a burn ban that we didn't find out about till we arrived," mentions a Lake Colorado City visitor.

Playground access: Some campgrounds feature play areas for children. "A nice swimming beach. Everything was just perfect! Amazing weekend getaway!" writes a visitor about Lake Colorado City.

Water activities: Some locations offer swimming and water recreation. "Lots of trails to walk going down to the water. A nice swimming beach," mentions a Lake Colorado City visitor.

Tips from RVers

Hookup options: Check specific site amenities before booking. "Sites range from water only to water and electric. The campground was quiet and isolated, it may not feel this way in the summer of it gets crowded. Many of the camp pads have an awning and picnic table," reports a Lake Colorado City visitor.
