"This Texas state park was really nice, lots of shade for my dog and lots of friendly people. During the day lots of squirrels running around and at night raccoons and armadillos."
"Smaller state park with lots of shade in the Texas heat. The areas has plenty of place to picnic and walk around. A few trails with a small pond that connects a few together."
$40 / night

"Convenient to the highway, a bit noisy outside from traffic. Nice pool & facilities."
$35 - $45 / night
"The bad is it alligns with the airport runway perfectly, right next to the railway and highway. Most people are there full time and some keep dogs outside."
"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."
"We stayed here many years ago for a reunion close by, the owner/park host was not a rule bender at all and was strict. We stayed in cabins and had a good time while we were there."
"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!!!"
"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."
"not too bad on the campsites couple of holes watch out but nice and secluded and close to river ♥️"

"Next to I-20 so there’s that. Good pool, dog park, laundromat with pay per load on machines-card. Hard Gravel parking- most sites not completely level, astroturf yard."
"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."
"General: Approximately 140 sites (plus 12 cabins) spread out all around Hords Creek Lake in two areas: Lakeside Park and Flat Rock Park."
"We take our bikes to get around. I’ve gone to Lakeside since I was young for family reunions and camping and I love it. It’s always so peaceful and I love to watch the deer that roam around."
TravelerFairly new park on top of hill. Stayed long term so very familiar with park. Next to I-20 so there’s that. Good pool, dog park, laundromat with pay per load on machines-card. Hard Gravel parking- most sites not completely level, astroturf yard. Roads are asphalt paved so great for walks. Did not use showers. Good sewer, water pressure and 50/30 amp available-included for overnight. Good Spots just for overnight folks-Pull through. Backin long term-very good- best in area for electric kWh price. Good long term rent price. First A.I. mega center being built in the area so wait list long term.
TravelerHonestly this place is way better than i anticipated. Gated, clean, several of the sites have a covered veranda over the private picnic tables. Dog park with separate areas for small and large breed dogs. Full hook up w/ 50 amp and well spaced out sites. The grass is nice too (a lot of places are mainly weeds and stickers/thorns that my dog doesn’t want walk in). $52 for one night so a bit pricey for us to stay longer than a couple days but definitely a good place to stop that i feel is clean and safe. Others complained of hearing a train but we were there in the summer and with our a/c on i can’t hear any exterior noises
GuideRight 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.
GuideThis Texas state park was really nice, lots of shade for my dog and lots of friendly people. During the day lots of squirrels running around and at night raccoons and armadillos. The park is kept up with its cleanliness. Also there is restrooms and showers here.
GuideSmaller state park with lots of shade in the Texas heat. The areas has plenty of place to picnic and walk around. A few trails with a small pond that connects a few together. There is also a pool area this must be booked along with your site reservations. There are also place to tent camp, cabins and yurts with electricity to rent. The sites vary from full hookups to water and electricity. Each site is private and not to close each with plenty of privacy. There is also a lake that’s outside of campsite area that can be busted up the road.
Two things I love:
One thing I didn’t like:
TravelerThis place is new and their facility is prestine with great FREE washing machines and all new hookups. The bad is it alligns with the airport runway perfectly, right next to the railway and highway. Most people are there full time and some keep dogs outside. As long as you are ok with all those aspects, you will be ok. We god a great night sleep even with all the noise.
GuideGreat 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:
Thing I don’t love: There isn’t really any shaded spots.
TravelerThe set up of this park is a little different. There are two sides. One side has the camping with a few trails. The other side has the lake with a bit longer of a trail.
The trails are easy to do and the camp side is heavily wooded so it’s a nice walk even in the summer months.
RangerWe stayed in a tent only spot for 8 days in Dec. Really quiet even with a trail behind us. Lots of winding beautiful trails. One of the cheaper Texas State Parks so the trails aren't very long.
BUT the real hidden gem was in the bathroom by the yurts. They have a disabled shower. So it's within reach and the showerhead is lower. Awesome to use to clean my toddler without getting drenched.
Felt very safe, even walking around past dark. We saw feral hogs a few times at dusk. Really loved it.
The playground isn't very good but you are 20 minutes from Abilene with oodles of great parks and a small zoo.
