Fort Richardson State Park Hist. Site and Trailway
Beautiful State Park Full of History
Beautiful campsite. The fort is very interesting. I was there on a re-enactment weekend and really enjoyed talking to all the re-enacters. A lot of great history. At night the coyotes sang me to sleep.

North D&D - Brazos River Public Use Area #4
Quiet and serene
Camped here on a weekday in November and we pretty much had it all to ourselves. Clean facilities with toilets and showers. Deer roamed free and the lake was peaceful with a small dock for boating and fishing. Enjoyed it here.

Off-season boondock paradise
One week stay during the first week of December D&D south. Weather: highs in the 60s, lows in the 40s. Covered picnic tables, grills, fire pits, trash cans at most sites. Restrooms spaced throughout the park. Massive trail system throughout the area. Excellent service for school/remote work. Ideal for tents, vans, truck campers, and small trailers. No cost during May-September. No water or dump in the parks, but there are showers. There are sites directly on the water and up in the hills. Would return!

Quiet and secluded
A very private site. The trees make it where you can’t see your neighbors. The updated showers are very nice.

Nice secluded and quiet
Very nice and quiet state park. Clean restrooms.
The park rangers here are phenomenal and so helpful. It’s one of our favorite state parks to visit.
Site 30 is large and perfect for a kiddo to run around.

History and Lodging
The entire park was well maintained. The restrooms and showers were modern, neat and clean. The historical site was closed for tours on the day that we stayed, but we were able to walk around the site and visit buildings. The signs on the outside of the structures were very informative and we were able to peek in the windows to experience life during those times.
Our stay in Site 41 was perfect for solitude and comfort. No bright lights from other RVs. There was only 1 other RV in this section. The partially shaded site had electricity and water. It is located quite a distance from the restroom/shower area.
This campground offers fun, history and camping all in one place!

Possum Kingdom Lake BRA - Bug Beach: BRA Area #5
5 Public Use Camping Areas for free
Tent camping areas in all 5 with shelters, grill, and picnic tables, many waterside. Public Area 4 and 6 have RV pads (which they do charge $10 to use in the Summer) with shelters, grill, and picnic tables, and many are waterside. Public Area 5 has grass pull thru RV parking. All 5 have bathroom facilities with running water and flush toilets. We parked at #5, also known as Bug Beach and we had the place to ourselves, with the exception of a herd of deer late afternoon. Beautiful scenery and exceptionally clean campground facilities.

Stayed her for three weeks. It really is a nice spot for being free, but because the locals don't pick up their trash, it may not be available because of it. There is new manager taking over, and according to the one worker I talked with, I am not sure how much longer this will be available for us nomads.

Big spots and clean bathhouses
Two last nights we got here all the way from Carlsbad Canyon at 9 pm ,park closes at 10 pm. It was a long drive to get there and when son showed us out in the lake , what it looked like then we shaked heads and said are You sure ? It had rained a lot before we got there and the lake was floating over the road by the dam drive over,it was rather scary .
Lots of trails to walk in area, but because of this massive rain its not possible to walk over by the dam,just to be aware if it.
We got lots of sun next day and had a good time walking around at the campground, we took a tour into town ,nice little town to walk around in some intersting stores there.
We saw lots of birds and turtels in the lake.
We had a lakeview from the oppsite of the road.

Small but nice state park
This state park only has 4 full hookup sites but they are private feeling. The tour of the civil war buildings is very cool.

Nice state park
Beautiful park with great trails and stunning views of the lake. Lots of trees and grassy areas. Bathrooms are clean but older for sure. Site was in the smaller side for RVs and not the most level.

Oak Creek RV Park
Beautiful!
Spacious sites. Shade trees, small pond, fishing, dog park, friendly staff. They have a very nice pool and hot tub. The permanent residents are nice and it’s a great little community. I highly recommend this place. There is some traffic noise since the park is close to the interstate but it didn’t bother me.

This place was a pleasant surprise. Not a soul here at 5pm. Shade spots, or on grass. Picnic tables and trash bins, swimming area and a boat launch. Bit of washboard on the road, but nothing drastic. Probably busy in summer but a great stop for us in late January.

Beautiful site!!! Will be bringing the kayaks next time!! Only reason this wasn’t 5 stars is the dumpster sits between site 64 and 65. Something died y’all!!! D oesn’t help that’s it was 110 today. Still one of my favorite spots close to home to come visit.

Great time, cool people but tubing didn’t go as expected
Me and my boyfriend came here to do some tubing down the Brazos river. If you’re camping here and intend on tubing I wouldn’t recommend taking their word on the water levels or flow of the river. We called before heading that way and they told us the flow was great. We ended up walking most of the way since the river was very low in most spots or wasn’t flowing much. Despite this we still had a great time and met some cool people, and the staff was very friendly and helpful. Very laid back atmosphere.

Primitive Area — Lake Mineral Wells State Park
Pleasant hike
This was the perfect place for my first solo hiking/camping trip! I was greeted by friendly, informative staff and paid the $7 day pass fee and $10 for the site. The hike to camp was 2.5 miles with a steep downhill grade the first quarter mile. Other than the first quarter I’d say it was a very easy hike. I saw some wildlife- deer, an armadillo, and a rabbit. I was carrying a 50 lb pack and stopped often for pics, so it took me about an hour and a half to reach the primitive camping area. At the south end of the area there’s a spot marked “A” with plenty of cleared up areas to set up camp. I decided to go a bit further north. There weren’t really any marked spots but there were clear paths and a few places that had obviously been camped at. After some searching I finally found the perfect hammock trees and settled in for the night. At some point I heard some coyotes but other than that it was very quiet and secluded so I slept like a rock! After the hike back to my car I wanted to swim, but the designed swimming area was very small and not secluded at all so I decided to skip the dip. Overall it was a great trip and I’m looking forward to going again sometime!

Oak Creek RV Park
Nice park but…
Stayed here 4 days after visiting sister park Coffee Creek. This campground is nice. We stayed in site 2 and it was very shaded with a large yard. There is no picnic table but you do have a concrete patio so that was nice. Staff and full-timers were very nice. Campground has lots of oak trees and a nice creek throughout. Amenities are very nice and the pool/hot tub were phenomenal. Overall we really enjoyed our stay with the exception of two things.
Normally I do not mind a little traffic noise but there is a lot at this campground since it is right off of the freeway. I will say that since we were at the front of the park there was not a lot to block the noise. I never noticed it while in the camper but it was quite loud outside while talking to neighbors. Second, issue would have been the WiFi. It does exist but leaves a lot to be desired.
Overall I was very impressed with the cleanliness of the whole campground. Even the full-timers sites were very nice. There was a cool little petting zoo at the back that our kids enjoyed as well. Since we only live about an hour away I definitely will go back for another visit. It’s one of the nicer local campgrounds we have been to.
