      Tranquillité, paysage magnifique

      Première expérience avec notre RV. Excellent accueil de David. Un endroit paisible au bord du Lac. Accessibilité parfaite. Cormorans, canards, oies, hérons nous ont émerveillés. Les places au bord du Lac sont à privilégier pour bien profiter du lieu.

      North D&D - Brazos River Public Use Area #4

      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!

      Hunter Park

      Pretty!

      A cute little park with lots of picnic tables, a pier, and a huge field. The bathrooms were closed but they supplied a porta potty and the nearest gas station is only about two minutes away. Very connected to civilization and it was very well kept. Lots of people seemed to know about it, there were around 15 people who camped there last night and ten or so cars that came through for the fishing pier. If you’re a fisher, this is the place to be! The fish are active. The lake is gorgeous, but if you are car camping or tent camping, be wary about the fact that there will be little to no shade. Plenty of space for a big rig, and the whole thing is designed in a loop, so no backing out necessary! Plus all driving areas to and from the campsite, as well as in it, are paved.

      GOOD !!

      Midway Pines RV Park is indeed a gem! The peaceful atmosphere, beautiful surroundings, and well-maintained facilities make it an ideal spot for a relaxing getaway. I totally understand why you feel so comfortable there. Speaking of relaxing, if you're looking to pass the time while you're enjoying the serene vibes, I highly recommend checking out the Traffic Rider app. It's a fun and immersive way to experience motorbike riding through beautiful landscapes, just like the ones around the park! Give it a try during your next visit—it's the perfect way to unwind!

      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.

      Copperas Creek COE

      Copperas Creek COE in Comanche, TX (Lake Proctor) Site #63 50 amp Full hook up Back-in site March 2024

      Beautiful park! The lady working the gate should have her picture in the dictionary under customer service. Very pleasant & welcoming!

      The site has lots of shade trees with a view of the lake (not lakeside). Sites are not on top of each other, but no type of barrier between sites. Water had a terrible smell.

      Despite it being the beginning of spring break in Texas & the amount of people here, it is fairly quiet.

      If you’re camping with others, there are 3 double RV sites on this end of the park.

      Would definitely come back here again. — at Copperas Creek Park.

      Laid back

      If you like a laid back approach to camping, this place is it.  They advertise "farm fresh eggs" at the bait shop, and though we didn't partake, we know they were serious because of the chickens that were roaming the grounds.  One of them inspected the storage bay of my travel trailer while I was setting up!  We arrived about 4 p.m., and there was no one around to check in with, I think because of a family emergency of some sort.  So I just picked one of the open RV lots and backed in.  When I did check in later with Amy, she said "no problem" with the lot I picked.  Like I say, "laid back"!

      Weatherford-Fort Worth West KOA

      Needs some work

      Generally I’ll stay at a KOA for a night when traveling through. They are like McDonald’s, nothing special but you know what to expect. This one was below par even for a KOA. We arrived just at 5:00 pm but the office was already closed. Didn’t see any staff before we left in the morning. Out checking information was available on the bulletin board. A sign said there were no more available sites, but there were clearly over 40 empty spaces. Many of the sites need new picnic tables, and the trees are full of dead branches. However the grass was mowed. Sites are very close together. Closer than most. There is a grassy dog park. There is also the a playground- a swing set! Also a pool which appears functional. Bathroom and showers were adequate. !

      There is an RV repair facility next door.

      We screwed up and booked a different spot and our camper was too long. Oakdale was able to accommodate us on short notice. The staff was friendly and informative. Our kids had a great time in the expansive pool and enjoyed the snow cone stand across the street. The adult enjoyed the well-stocked pool bar!

      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.

      Beautiful location and kind people

      I chose this place as a proposal location- she said yes! It was an amazing location that I enjoyed a 3 day stay at. There is black water disposal by the entrance with a hose, along with a dumpster on the road out. No water or electrical hook ups at the site but that wasn’t a worry as I brought batteries, solar, and my own water storage. I did notice the site nearby was utilizing a loud generator, so that noise was prevalent night and day throughout my stay. Other than the hum of a motor constantly mixing with beautiful nature sounds it was an incredible experience with amazing people and scenery. I would absolutely love to visit again very soon. I can’t say anything on the bathrooms, as those were shut down for the colder weather, but I brought a cassette toilet and there was no issues with that.

      I recommend this place to anyone wanting great views and kind people.
