RV campgrounds near Somerville, Texas provide access to Lake Somerville State Park's 8,500 acres of outdoor recreation opportunities in the rolling Post Oak Savannah region. Temperatures average 95°F in summer months and 55°F in winter, making spring and fall the most comfortable camping seasons. Cell service remains spotty throughout many Somerville-area campgrounds, with coverage varying significantly between carriers.
What to do
Fishing opportunities: Lake Somerville offers good fishing for bass, crappie, and catfish year-round. "We stumbled upon this park when we were visiting family in the area. It's a gem! Very well maintained, clean, nice big spaces and good distance between you and your neighbor," notes a visitor to Brazos Valley RV Park.
Hiking trails: Several RV parks near Somerville connect to walking paths or nature trails. A camper at Hidden Creek RV Resort shares, "Woods with trails allow for walking, with or without the dogs. You won't be disappointed staying here."
Aggie football games: Many campers use Somerville area RV parks as base camps for Texas A&M football weekends. "We had a chance to stay here the weekend of the A&M/Auburn game. Place was booked solid, but there was still plenty of room to move around, even with the slide outs out on everyone's RV," reports a guest at Hardy's Resort RV Park.
What campers like
Level sites: Many campgrounds feature concrete pads that require minimal setup time. At Timber Ridge RV Park, one camper noted, "We were just staying overnight, found the campground super clean with nice level concrete pads. No need to unhook!"
Pool access: Several parks offer swimming pools for cooling off during hot Texas days. "There is a really nice size pool with a covered porch area for sitting and a sun/TV room on the other side of the pool area, for lounging; hubby spent time in there watching sports while the kids played in the pool," mentions a visitor at Hardy's Resort RV Park.
On-site activities: Some rv campgrounds near Somerville, Texas provide recreational amenities. "The staff had a game night party and did smores for the kids (okay so I had one too) and sausage wraps for everyone. Beautiful park, it had 2 ponds and a large grassy area with a gazebo for hanging out, and the cutest miniature life size chess set," shares another Hardy's Resort RV Park camper.
What you should know
Reservation timing: Book well in advance for football weekends and summer holidays. A Timber Ridge RV Park guest mentions, "Was on game day so quite crowded but still superb."
Utility connections: Pay attention to site layouts when selecting your spot. "Need to park as far back as possible to reach utility post. We'll be back," advises a Timber Ridge RV Park camper regarding sewer connections.
Laundry facilities: Some parks have updated their laundry systems to app-based payment. "The laundry room was different. The machines didn't use coins they used an app-new technology. Not hard to use just had to download an app and put money on it. The nice thing was the machines let me know when the laundry was ready," reports a visitor at Hardy's Resort RV Park.
Tips for camping with families
Proximity to amenities: Choose parks with family-friendly features. "This is a clean, well lighted RV park in which to spend a night, week or even a month. I would recommend this park for anyone going to A&M for games or to visit kids," notes a visitor at Revviel RV Park.
Grocery access: Stock up before arriving or know where nearby stores are located. "If you leave out going to SR 21, make a right and there is a fairly new HEB with everything one might want from groceries to mesquite wood chunks for smoking and BBQ grilling," adds the same Revviel RV Park camper.
Wildlife viewing: Some parks offer opportunities to see local wildlife. "Pretty campground. Saw deer," reports a camper at Holiday RV Park.
Tips from RVers
Site width considerations: Many Somerville area RV parks have varying site widths. "Exceptionally clean and neat. Site was more than wide enough and more than long enough for my total 62 foot rig," notes a Brazos Valley RV Park visitor.
Internet connectivity: WiFi quality varies significantly between campgrounds. "Good CATV, not so good wifi, AT&T was good," reports another Brazos Valley RV Park camper.
Navigation challenges: Consider local road conditions when planning arrival routes. "Not easy to get around from there based on the construction and how the roads work. The site is clean and orderly. Very simple place," shares a Holiday RV Park visitor.
