Lake Stamford Marina
Not worth the price
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 for a layover
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.

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.

Great free spot
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.

Hubbard Creek Reservoir
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.

Love being here. Out of the city, quite and the owners go out of their way to make sure your time at their place is comfortable & safe. The only reason why I gave a 4 ⭐️ is doesn’t have all the amenities you may want, but does have a laundry room.

Quiet
A nice quiet out-of-the-way kinda place. Just what I needed for a quick nights rest.

Large camping areas!
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.

Sufficient Site
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.

Bright lights
The tent sites are next to the motel that Is next to the koa. The lights from the motel are super bright and light up the site. You will also be right next to the highway and be able to hear it all night. Bring ear plugs!!!

A foggy day
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.

Excellent quiet spot!
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)!

An OK place for an overnight
This is not by any stretch a good campground. That said, it is right by I-20 (you can hear the traffic) and there are not very many alternatives in the area. This KOA has quite a few permanent residents (old campers with stairs and decks...) which, in my mind, gives it a little "creepy" feel. The sites are gravel and are reasonably level, conducive to not unhooking for the night. Not all sites have fire rings. Some sites do not have the table on gravel but on grass.
We will stay here again--if we have no other choice.

The MWR staff were friendly and helpful. The RV park (FamCamp) on base is well maintained and the restrooms were very clean.

Buck Creek RV Park
Decent overnight stop. Easy access to I-20.
FHUs, many level sites. Decent spacing between sites, a very basic, but clean campground. Less than 1 mile from I-20, so some road noise, but not overwheming.

Free, convenient, and safe
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.

DO NOT STAY HERE!!!!!!!!
I made reservations for this campground 2 weeks in advance for an overnight layover. At the time of the reservation I advised Angelica that my mother was on a walker, not able to move around very well @ which time she advised no “pre-reservations of spots” can be implemented, all spots are assigned @ time of check-in. We get here to check in & when I asked if we could be placed close to the front for my mom to get close to showers I was told there was nothing that could be done, they were full for the weekend (we checked in on Thursday) and we’re not given any option of any alternative solutions to the situation, just simply told “you don’t understand the system assigns the campsites & there’s nothing they can do”. Before hooking up my sister flagged Angelica down & asked her about moving @ which time she replied we could go ask one of the campers that came in behind us that was a few spots closer to the office if they’d be willing to switch spots. After we were completely hooked up & Abigail went back to the office to let the manager know we were less than happy, the Mgr did call to offer us a closer site that was a back-in site that we were more than welcome to move to. TOO LITTLE TOO LATE! I definitely will not stay here again nor will I recommend this campground to anyone!

Good for a stopover
I stayed one night at this campground and overall it was nice. KOA’s are not the cheapest place but they’re always safe which is what I needed.

Country Living at the Lake
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:
- It is right by the water
- 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.

Small area for RVs
This place is located close to the main gate of Dyess AFB. The spots are in the parking lot of the VFW. Not many spots to park in. Always feel Welcome here!!! Has live music in the VFW and a dance floor , some food items to purchase, and the bar area. Nice bathrooms also
