Lots of traffic and a rickety weather vane also adds to it.
Nice gravel parkinglot with free 30A hookup. Dumpstation availible. No potable water
This was a nice spot for a night while doing a long drive. It is connected to a city park, with disc golf set up right near by. There are hookups at each parking spot as well as a water and dumping station. We didn’t use any of the amenities, just parked for the night, but the road near by wasn’t too loud and we felt comfortable :)
Good overnight stop for weary travelers. FREE! No hassle with permit, just parked and plugged in. #10 spot electric worked just fine. Had a picnic table, BBQ pit & trash can. Park was clean & quiet with the exception of vehicles driving thru park with loud bass music but that would not stop us from coming here again.
$38 full hookups, military discount offered
I may have just used that title, but I liked the spot. I stayed there two nights. The parking lot has sites with individual, free water, electricity, and sewer. The town is odd based on my experience. It is small and getting smaller and there is almost no morning activity. But it is interesting. Clearly agriculture and wind energy dominate the economy. I guess everyone is out in the field during the day. There is a hamburger stand in town, which is unremarkable, but not disappointing.
I enjoyed photographing the town with it's midwestern farm town look and century old buildings.
Absolut no problems with the site or the town. I enjoyed driving around the surrounding landscape for a couple of days.
Water, electric, sewer and level site for only a donation. 16 TV stations came in too. The pool is open and they have a refreshment center. I've paid $100 a night for a spot as good as this.
This is our 4th time here I believe over a 10 year time frame. This is 2024. The electrical has slowly deteriorated. Site 10 this time had serviceable electrical hook up but…. More later. Site 4 showed on my meter to be good but upon hookup had a faulty circuit so going without the ac this warm late May evening. Site 9&10 seemed ok. Got set up and then took stock of where we are and noted the dead elm tree overhanging the site. One of those limbs falling on you would ruin your day. Didn’t check the water or make use of the dump.
Nice public park with about 9 sites, most have electric and water. Free to stay up to 4 nights! Clean, some traffic but not bad.
True all above. Decent place! Free with services. Amazing. Level enough. Expected way less. Been to Lions Parks before. Usually quite nice.
We only stayed one night while on our way through the area but it was convenient for the use of bathrooms and shower. Has an indoor pool and little recreational center. There are things close by if you need a Walmart or quick bite.
Very quiet. Mostly long term rv’ ers. Looks like they have 1/2 dozen or so overnight pull through. Easy to get in and out. Costco, Cabelas, other retail, and restaurants across road in shopping center. Will stay here again when we have to come to Lubbock, TX.
In town so cell service with Tello for my iPad and ATT for my phone was very good.
Lamesa…WOW! What a great thing they have going on with Forrest Park and their FREE rv parking/hookups. We were passing through and decided to stop here for the night. We couldn’t have made a better decision. There are no bells and whistles with this place but if you’re looking for a place to park comfortably for the night, this is it. There is a park with a playground and swings right across the road which was a huge bonus for us as we were traveling with kids. They do accept donations and reservations are not necessary. 4 days free, $20 each night after that. We only stayed one night. There is some traffic that passes on the road between the RV spots and the park but nothing that was bothersome throughout the night. We did not visit the restroom facility so I don’t have anything to review on that. For just a simple place to sleep, I highly recommend this stop!! And free?? Count me in!!
I simply needed a safe place to stop for the night while traveling and this was perfect. The city actually provides water and electricity as well as a dump station. The only downfall is the proximity to the noisy road but it is much better than a Walmart parking lot.
Stayed here for one night. Lots of shade trees, great indoor pool, Starlink works great here
This park was right next to the interstate so it was a little noisy. They have full hook ups, a clean shower house, and laundry for $33 a night. I wouldn't recommend this place if you're looking for an oasis but it was nice for a quick stay.
Clean place to stop for the night, while traveling through. It was a good value in terms of price. Fairly quiet at night.
One item to consider is that the back side of the park, right off the main (busy) road, was not fenced. So, it may be a consideration if you are traveling with kids, pets or by yourself. Did feel safe, overall.
This is one of those great little RV parks offered by some small towns in Texas that are free (donations accepted). 12 spots, kinda level, a tad run down but it's in a good area. Can't beat it for an overnight while traveling across TX. We didn't use water or electricity because our fresh water tank and batteries are full so we really didn't need anything but a safe place to sleep for the night.
Just add a few more details to what has been said before. It is free, but I gave a donation because I used the trash dumpster, water and electricity. I did find a few of the 30 amp outlets upside-down. Some of the electric boxes on one of the 4 pedestals were about to fall down (picture add). Two electric boxes per pedestal which means possibly 8 RVs, but only 4 water hook-ups. Didn't matter because we were the only ones there. I parked at the north end. Nothing is marked for the different spaces.
The campground is right off Hwy 84 but the road noise is very minimal with more of a hum and lack of jake-braking. Some train noise in the distance, but during our week-long stay, we were never woken up by one. This is a quiet campground. The long term tenants live their daily lives and keep to themselves. The dog area is just a fenced in section up front. No poop bags, but there is a bucket for you to throw away your own. The sites are very large all with full hookup. If you are here during high winds, the interstate berm/overpass blocks much of it. Expect lots of dust, but no trash. They keep things picked up. Good for passing through or just staying outside of Lubbock.
If you have kids: You are close to the Lubbock Science Spectrum Museum which is part of the ASTC Passport Program. It is a great place to spend the day.
Absolutely beautiful spot for a reasonable price! Camp site had a covered picnic table and power. Site also had great trails down to the lake.
Ashley here with The Dyrt. We're happy to welcome your host, Rebecca. This property provides flat sites and to park your RV. Book them today and come back here to leave them some love.
Nice area off main road. Each spot has water and 30 amp electric. Dump station at lower edge. A bit loud with cars.
This is the sewer drain for Lubbock Tx do not go here
My friend and I camped our way from CA to Austin and was heading back home. We chose Lubbock area to stop for the night. Buffalo Springs campground was the only nearby place I found to camp. I called them and was told that I had to register online. I was surprised to pay a total of $60 for a camp site. It cost $25 for a tent site plus $5 fee plus $15/adult just to get into the gate. What a rip off! It was split between the two of us so it didn't seem too terrible but...when we drove to our site, there wasn't a shade structure or picnic table in our assigned site. We were told to go online for any changes. I couldn't figure out how to do that and since we were the only campers there, we moved to another site. Fire rings, shade structures, picnic tables and little pieces of trash were randomly spread out everywhere! This was the most unorganized, run down place to tent camp I have ever seen! My dog kept finding bones tossed about on the ground. There were cigarette butts everywhere. We even found a vintage beer pull tab amongst other trashy little things. This was the only tent camping place that I was not happy with the whole 3,600 mile drive!
This was actually my first time staying at a KOA facility. Late checkin was very easy and I had no problem finding the site at night. Place was pretty full but I still felt like I had my own space. Will definitely stay here again when passing through.
First, it's free (well, there's a box for donations and we donated). I'm not complaining just giving you the facts. This is basically a dirt parking lot (not a very level one either) with hookups for water and electric. We didn't use the water hookup and we have a surge protector. The first spot we chose had an open ground. The electric in the spot next to it was good.
Only one other camper. Good spot for one night.
