Best Dog-Friendly Camping near Stamford, TX

The sites are located close to the water with full-hook ups available. Most spots are gravel but depending on lake level some spots now have grass. The better sites have their own covered picnic tables. Some sites have tree with shade closer spot to the water do not any trees or picnic tables. There is store on site however the nearest gas station is a few miles out. There is also mobile home to rent out and they do allow for rent camping. Pets allowed but there is no designated area so must be picked up after. It’s really busy during holiday peak times when we went but it wasn’t as bad as most lakes in the area. Pull through spots are available and some spots are park as you choose. This place isn’t a resort has all amenities but it is right by the water and if you have a boat it’s not a short distance to dock.

Two things I love:

1. It is right by the water
2. The store was pretty well stocked

One thing I didn’t love: Some areas are park as you can fit and not paved or gravel.

Nice clean site. A few pull through sites available. Limited shade trees. There is nice grass for our dog. Great fishing dock and crappie house. Great spot for fishing and swimming. People are very welcoming and it’s affordable.

Spent a week here in March, great facilities bathroom/showers very clean. Awesome laundry facility in same building which are free to paying customers. Be prepared for fly overs from AFB but I loved the fly overs! Nice dog run and there is a private pond to fish in but I didn’t see any fish. Nice area to stop over even for a night.

Right off I-20 in Abilene. A variety of pull through and back-in full hookup sites. Sites are sand/gravel with an artificial grass patch for each. Laundry and bath sites are new clean and modern. Nice pool and fire pit area next to the camp store. There is some road noise from I 20, sites farthest away from the office are farthest from the highway. The park sits on a high ridge providing beautiful west Texas sunsets.

Their website says $35 a night, but it was actually $70 per night, plus $20 to use "dump station". 

Site is just a picnic table you park next to. Electricity on end and water on the other, not together. My hose barley reached. The electric box was super janky, no breaker, and had exposed wires. I was nervous about plugging in my trailer.  The water faucet had no handle. I had to use a pair of plyers to turn the valve to get water on.

The "dump station" is not your normal PVC pipe sticking up from the ground. Its a large cement dome, with a cut out door on top. The sewage was about 3 inches from the top, and when I opened the door, I immediately shut it, it was so degusting. 

The only good thing about this site was it was near the water. No where near worth the $90 I spent. 

There is a much, nice and cheaper campsite on the other side of the lake. Dont waste your money here.

Good experience. Basic park free for overnighters, $20 day there after. Appears park is mostly full of union workers. Very nice city park with kids play area and ponds. Ball fields also. Flat level spaces. Just enough room to fit rv

Part of the city park, next to the ballfields, a series of ten or so widely spaced shelters, each with a picnic table, and electricity and water for two campers at each shelter. Flat, grassy ground, well maintained and trash-free, all next to a small pond. Clean restrooms and trash receptacles on site. Welcoming sign: free the first night, $15 per night afterwards. Off the beaten path and a very pleasant surprise. Great sunset and watching the birds on the pond.

GPS instructions took us to a locked gate, behind which there were tall weeds growing up around an abandoned site.

Great location right by the water depending on spot allows for better lake views. They have full site hookups with the spots on gravel. There is also boat ramp right next to site and picnic areas. Also near by is a beautiful city park that is within walking distance from site. Since it on a lake the closet gas stations are about 7 miles away.

Two things I love:

1. It’s by the water
2. It’s close to the city

Thing I don’t love: There isn’t really any shaded spots.

Seabee Park Abilene What a great find! First, I stopped at a small rest stop on the way to Abilene. I read about the reviews for this free overnight camping site. I was reluctant to do to the fact that there are only three spots available. I decided to head that way just to check it out. So glad I did! It’s only A couple of miles north of I 20. The roads are very good. The campsites are spread out each with a picnic table and trashcan. There’s a public restroom but it was locked. My Verizon signal was strong enough to stream TV. The park is well-maintained and very quiet. I arrived around 4 PM only to find one other camper there. A sign says to camp only in designated areas… But there are probably more campsites than the three I mentioned.

not too bad on the campsites couple of holes watch out but nice and secluded and close to river ♥️

Campground is nice enough. Lots of highway noise, but easy to find. All spots were taken, but we got lucky when someone left.

Drive past the bathrooms and the entrances to the sites are on the left.

A little trashy along the water, which was low. And the fog lessened the visibility. I’d say it’s nice enough to stop on a road trip or to relax for a day or two.

Not a vacation getaway, but decent play to park overnight. Arrived on a Monday afternoon. We took one of the sites and not long after we arrived many RVs, Vans, and gypsy travelers showed up and set up around the park. Thankful for a quiet night here.

Nice spot to stay at for sure

We had a great experience at this free site - there are 4 designated camp sites each with a little pullout, fire ring, covered picnic table, and large gravel parking area (probably room for 4+ cars on each). Overall very quiet with a few people driving by and a bit of a hike to the bathroom from the camping area, but it did have running water so can’t complain.

Bathrooms available and plenty of space. There were some bugs though

There are a limited number of sites, about three. When I arrived, there were none available, but someone cruised through and wanted to chat with me, by the time he finished a site opened up. This was actually my first municipal park stay, so I was a  bit nervous and eventually decided to move on. But the park is as described and it is on an attractive lake. In the end, it's just a place to park for a night unless your have something to do. Main downside is that you may or may not get a place to park.

Road in has a few holes (see pictures we took) but easy to get “through”… absolutely wonderful park! Quiet (in October) and we saw much wildlife! Deer! Egrets! So lovely… and far from the road (so no noise)!

There are several sites here. Most of the campgrounds look fairly well taken care of. I'm new to this dispersed camping, so I don't have a lot to compare it to.

I'd stay here again. Large campsites, flat area for tents. I only took one star off because I don't feel the view is all that great. At least from the mountain to one last night in New Mexico! And because it's obvious people come here to party. I'm here on a Monday. I suspect the weekend is different.
