    The campsite is fenced in our front pasture with water and composting toilet available. It is located under a large tree. Our front pasture houses our goats, cows, donkeys and chickens. We have two seasonal creeks that run thru the property and about 9 acres of woods to explore. Because we have no ambient lighting our farm is a great place to stargaze.

      Come to Moon Ranch on Chalk Mountain, 10 minutes from historic Glen Rose, TX, and make camp in this neatly secluded cedar and elm treed area. The four camps are located on 10.5 acres of land, so feel free to stretch out and relax. Bring a hammock; no problem finding two trees close enough!! Walk out to the three acre clearing at night and view the beautiful night sky with almost no light pollution, or camp in our scenic open camping area. On a clear night the milky way is incredible! Our location is five minutes to Fossil Rim Wildlife Center, Ten Minutes to Dinosaur Valley State Park(both require reservations), 15 Minutes to Big Rocks(free shallow river access and boulders to climb on). Open field for stargazing. Close to Paluxy River, Brazos River, Glen Rose shops, boutiques, eateries in town and on the square. We have a mixture of private campsites secluded in the cedar trees, perfect for a romantic getaway; or larger campsites that can easily accommodate families. Absolutely LGBTQ friendly!

          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"!

          Free parking on a lake with bathroom and tables

          Overall good free spot right on the water. We weren’t quite level on the road but nice to have bathrooms with running water and picnic tables right outside. Sign said you can stay for multiple nights.

          Plateau — Lake Mineral Wells State Park

          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.

          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.

          Family & adult friendly

          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!

          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.

          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.

          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.

          Very Nice Small State Park

          There may not be a lot of trails, but they are very nice.  The sites are oddly level, even though they do not look like they would be. 

          Site 01 is a great spot, that feels about the most secluded.  

          Watch out for all the spider webs on the trails,  if you hike early in the morning...  We camped at Meridian State Park in a 28 foot Travel Trailer.

          I stayed overnight here while traveling from Galveston, Tx to Ohio. The employees were friendly and accommodating. Check in was easy and the campsites offered some privacy as they were spaced pretty far apart. Lots of shade trees and very peaceful. I would definitely stay here again.
