      Redbud Ranch RV Resort

      City Close, Country Feel

      A little pricey and the prices are subject to change depending on capacity(don't really care for that). Some reviews dock them for the train noises, but we weren't bothered by it at all, especially with AC running.

      📋 Site#305:

      🔙 Back In🅿 Site Pad: level, concrete, long enough, but a little narrow. Parking spot for tow vehicle next to it💧 Water- good pressure, high enough for filter and everything to hang down⚡ Max amp: 50- had a couple issues with Over Current at first, but it seemed to stay on after that. The Power Watch Dog tripped the power and did its thing.💩 Sewer connection was in good shape. It was a little closer to the front of the site, so I used 2 hoses📶 Wifi- available but I didn’t use it📺I picked up multiple channels just with the antenna. Even GRIT. I escaped the heat in the hottest part of the day.🔥 Fire Ring w/Grate Standing Grill Picnic Table: hexagon shaped. Looked like wood, but was the plastic composite material. Heavy. Two of the overflow parking spaces were on the side of the site, so it was handy. This site is on a corner, so it was a little bigger. There’s a little tree planted there that will give shade in a few years

      👎🏻 Cons: 

      The site was a little narrow and there’s no widening at the entrance on the back-in sites. You have to bring your good backing skills.

      📝 Park Notes:

      🚻 Restrooms- very clean and spacious. There are a couple ADA restrooms with showers that can be accessed by wheel chair and multiple household sized showers. Each one is male/female so it would be good for families with children.🚿 Showers had good pressure and multi-function shower heads. Glass doors. Very clean.🧺 Laundry facility had 6 sets of washer/dryers. Credit card or app. No cash.🐕 Off-leash dog park was big and had a separate section for smaller dogs. There was a nice dog wash station near the restrooms. No washing of dogs or rigs at the individual sites.🛒 There was a small store in the main office with souvenir items, a few RV necessities and ice cream.🚶🏻‍♀️ A trail runs along the length of the park along the creek. No getting in the creek though.🏚 Cabins with and without lofts. All have screened in back porches🤿 Pool with shallow end and lounge chairs in the water. A hot tub that will hold about 30 people. You can literally swim across it. Small splash pad area for the kids.Covered pavilion area with large BBQ pits.🔥 Large fire pit with chairs around it🤾‍♀️ Playground equipment, 2 volleyball courts, horseshoes, tether ball, hammocks, tables, porch swing(hanging from a tree), ping pong table🪑 2 group areas, 1 was large and had a view of the pool. Residents can use it at anytime unless someone has reserved it for a private event. They have coffee and condiments there from 8-10am. They had Donuts for Dad for Father’s Day(but open for anyone).🍩☕🦌 Wildlife: Various birds, squirrels🗑 Trash pick up at the sites in the morning Some buddy sites available on the ends of the rows Golf carts are available for rent or you can bring your own Restrooms/Showers/Dog Wash/Dog park are on one end of the park and the Pool/Volleyball/Playground are on the other end by the Office/Store/Event rooms. A golf cart or bike would be handy.🌳 No shade trees on the RV park yet, but young ones are planted💲 Prices fluctuate depending on the demand for spaces📅 There are events in the park on weekends👩🏻‍💼 Staff was very friendly and helpful. Always smiling.

      Everything you need is very close. Walmart, Home Depot, Salt Lick BBQ, Dell Diamond, Kalahari Resorts(Indoor water park), restaurants, dancehalls…it’s almost in the City, but doesn’t feel like it. We have had some fun Munzee events in Hutto, so there’s lots around if you enjoy scavenger hunts on your phone.

      Reynolds Creek

      Needs improvement but a peaceful stay.

      This park is located out in boonies and can be pretty difficult to find. Most people think they are lost trying to get to it, but if you follow North Speegleville road through all the cornfields you will eventually stumble upon it. Believe me, you're not going the wrong way.

      Being lakefront property you would expect to see more water, however there is a lot of brush grown up around the lake and sites so it is hard to see. There are also limited places to get down to the water in the park.

      There is a nice boat ramp and dock for fishing. It is also pet friendly and equestrian friendly. There is a nice little 1 mile hike were you can bird watch and view the lake Waco, it is very shaded and flat. Then there is a 20 mile hike/ equestrian trail that goes around Lacey point.

      Bathrooms and showers need some work, but they do the job. There is no store at the campground, but there is a dollar general located in Speegleville about 4 minutes away. There are picnic tables at ever site along with a fire pit, and also a playground for kids.

      The whole park is very secluded and away from street noise which is so lovely. Perfect place for viewing the stars over the water and listening to nature speak around you!

      COE Lake Waco Speegleville Park

      Nice large lots

      Overall another great COE as far as big open level spots. Most spots have covered picnic tables. Fire rings, and grills at each spot also. Lots of critters..especially armadillos! Bathrooms are less then to be desired, very few showers work, and those that do were a bit in a need to be repaired. Overall nice quiet area, nice clean dump station (one of the best we have seen). Would stay here again.

      Jim Hogg - Lake Georgetown

      Spring Break for the win!

      We have camped at this park for several years during a Spring Break and other than the trash bins filling fast, have never had a problem!

      We have stayed at shelter sites and regular sites and all have been nice, clean and well maintained. The bathrooms are always clean and have hot water.

      its on lake Georgetown, but to get in the water, you’ll need to go to Russel Park, but it is beach-like access. There are a few picnic tables over there as well.

      Taylor

      Clean and Comfortable

      The Taylor Park campgrounds bear Granger Lake are clean and convenient. The bathrooms/showers were clean, but only 1 toilet was working...and only 1 outside washbasin for dishes was working.

      Each campground has a shade structure, picnic table, fire ring, and grill. There are also has a playground. We were rent camping, but there many RV campers. The campground hosts were very friendly and helpful.

      It is about a 10 minute walk to the boat dock, where there are day use areas. If you want a spot right on the lake you should head to the other side of the lake at Willis Springs.

      Jim Hogg - Lake Georgetown

      Simple and Easy

      Me and the wife went on 06/18/2019. Right near a nice clear lake (no sand, you can swim but bring swimming shoes, sharp rocks). This seems to be primarily an RV site, it comes with an overhead canopy that provided a lot of shade, under the canopy was a wooden park bench, a sort of breakfast bar type thing attached to the canopy. Few feet away was a BBQ pit, a fire pit, a driveway for 1 single vehicle, a pipe for water, and an electrical box that had your regular RV connections as well as your regular household plug in. If you're getting a spot near the lake, be prepared for other guests with kayaks to walk through your camp to get to it. Bathrooms are provided, zero ventilation so it gets hot/cold with the weather. Showers are provided as well. The bathrooms were dirty as expected just accommodate for that. If you're walking through the camp at night bring a flashlight it's very dark. Minimal bugs during the day but once nightfall came there were TONS of junebugs. We car camped here and it was amazing.

      Well maintained and quiet place to camp

      We had a quaint campsite with a Lakeview.

      Each campsite appeared to be level and clean. The sites were spaced out so that you’re not camping on top of one another. Each space had a picnic table and grill. There was a fishing pier, boat ramp, and beach to swim at. Many of the camping spots can be reserved online, but the park maintains some camping spots for first-come.

      Russell Park

      Russell Park + Trees + Trail + Lake

      This is a review of the established campsites at Russell Park along the San Gabriel River Trail. Reservations for campsites can be made through (877) 444-6777 or www.recreation.gov.

      These are drive up campsites where you may park your car next to your assigned site. The campsites have a sun awning, picnic table, campfire pit/grill. Russell Park has 27 tent-only sites with no utilities. Check-in time for reservations is 3 pm and check-out time is 2pm. There is a designated swimming area within the campground. 

      One of the advantages of this park is that it sits along the San Gabriel River Trail. The trail circles Lake Georgetown and is 26.2 miles. It passes through forests, grasslands, over some small hills and across a few tributaries. I'd say that 40% of the trail has some tree coverage, but 60% is exposed. In the summer be aware that the combination of the temperature and the exposure makes this trail uncomfortable to hike. Take precautions, drink lots of water and stay in the shade all that you can. While you are walking within site of Lake Georgetown, it is not always convenient to access the water. So carry plenty of water. 

      The trail is getting more and more popular with backpackers, so it is likely that you may see others on the trail. On weekends you may encounter scout troops practicing. During the weekdays you may not see a single person. Dogs are allowed on the trail, but it is nice to keep them on lease.


    Guide to Temple

    Cabin camping near Temple, Texas offers access to several lakes with varying amenities and nature experiences. Most cabins in the area are managed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and require reservations, especially during peak summer months when temperatures regularly exceed 90°F. The region's limestone terrain creates dramatic lakeshores with occasional steep access points to water.

    What to do

    Fishing opportunities: Cedar Ridge Park on Lake Belton provides excellent fishing access right from lakefront sites. "We were in spot 62 and it was mostly level. We had awesome phone and wi fi coverage with T-mobile," notes Jim P., who observed fellow campers cleaning their catches at Cedar Ridge Park.

    Nature watching: Wildlife viewing is abundant near many cabin sites. "We saw lots of deer and birds," reports Stephanie A. about Cedar Ridge Park, while at Speegleville Park, visitors can experience "the peacefulness" where you can "listen to the crickets and birds with no distractions," according to Brittany S.

    Hiking trails: The San Gabriel River Trail circles Lake Georgetown and passes through Russell Park. "The trail circles Lake Georgetown and is 26.2 miles. It passes through forests, grasslands, over some small hills and across a few tributaries," explains Troy W., noting that "40% of the trail has some tree coverage, but 60% is exposed."

    What campers like

    Spacious sites: Many cabins feature generous spacing between neighboring units. At Wilson H Fox, "the campsites are spacious, some large. We stayed in site 24. Next closest neighbor was 75 feet or better away," according to Roscoe's R., who also noted each site has "its own pavilion, which I have not seen before, especially at $26 per night."

    Lakefront locations: Cabins with lake views are highly valued among visitors to Wilson H Fox, where one guest reports "awesome campground" with "some sites even had a screened-in bunkhouse" and lake views that provide "beautiful sunsets."

    Well-maintained facilities: Clean and organized facilities make stays more comfortable. At Union Grove, Michael C. described "a beautiful park on the lake" where "our site was a pull through. Asphalt with grass all around," though he noted "it could use a few more trees."

    What you should know

    Reservation requirements: Most cabin sites require advance planning. At Russell Park, David notes that "at this point, you must have a reservation to camp here," reflecting a policy common across most cabin sites in the region.

    Seasonal considerations: Summer heat affects hiking and outdoor activities. Troy W. cautions about the San Gabriel River Trail at Russell Park: "In the summer be aware that the combination of the temperature and the exposure makes this trail uncomfortable to hike. Take precautions, drink lots of water and stay in the shade all that you can."

    Access limitations: Water access varies significantly between parks. Joseph C. reports at Wilson H Fox that "you can find sites here that overlook the water, and have some paths down to the shore (some paths are sketchy though)," while Bobby A. noted "it was difficult to get to the water from our site but doable if you did not mind a little workout."

    Tips for camping with families

    Swimming options: Dedicated swimming areas provide safer water recreation. At Wilson H Fox, Bobby A. found that while water access from sites could be challenging, "the swimming area was great," providing a designated space for family water activities.

    Playground access: Several parks include play facilities for children. At Jim Hogg Park, Carrie J. notes it's a "nice family campground" with "lots to do" making it suitable for families seeking cabin camping near Temple with recreation options.

    Wildlife education: Animal sightings create learning opportunities. Dean H. observed at Cedar Ridge Park that there were "lots of deer in camp and we saw a turkey," providing natural wildlife viewing right from cabin areas.

    Tips from RVers

    Hookup variations: Electric and water connections differ across parks. At Cedar Ridge Park, Cody D. reports it "has 30 & 50 amp hookups with water does not have sewer hookups at sites but does have dump station close by," important information for RVers planning extended stays.

    Site leveling: Surface quality affects setup ease. Michael C. noted Union Grove has sites that are "level places to park," while Leander-NW Austin KOA offers "level concrete pads" according to Angelia J., who appreciated this feature as a novice RVer: "It made it extremely easy for my husband and I who had no idea what we were doing."

    Train noise considerations: Some cabin locations experience railway disturbance. At Redbud Ranch RV Resort, Denise V. addresses concerns about nearby trains, noting "some reviews dock them for the train noises, but we weren't bothered by it at all, especially with AC running."
