    Fort Richardson State Park Hist. Site and Trailway

    Equestrian camp small but good location near fort

    We stayed one night at the equestrian camp on our way through the area. We prefer leaving the equestrian spots for horse owners but it was the last one available in the park. Although, of the 5 sites in this loop, none of us had horses!

    With only a couple of small pens and not much space, we could see why equestrians might not flock here. Hard to say from one night though.

    The sites are long and narrow without much space between them. Road nosie is noticeable during the day but quiet at night.

    There are no bathroom facilities in this loop, so be aware of that. There is a small dumpster available. The bathroom/shower facilities and dump station are down the road at the main campground. You do have 20-, 39- and 50-amp electric plus water hookup at your site.

    The good part about this loop is that you're camping within site of the historic Fort Richardson and visiting the grounds is a short walk. The buildings are only open from about 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., but you're welcome to wander the grounds and look in the windows. Make sure you grab a self-guided your brochure at check-in.

    This was fine for a night or two, but for longer we'd encourage a stay at the main campground instead.

    Phone service was good: Verizon 4 bars / T-Mobile 4 bars.

    4C's Rodeo Ranch & RV Park

    Equine paradise

    Lovely park. Beautiful location and property surrounded by oak trees with an abundance of horses, cattle, a few donkeys and one goat. If you have horses this is the place for you if you are transiting through North Central Texas. Nice sites with full hookups. Pastoral setting. Smells like sweet country air. Sites all appear level and are quite long, I assume for those who are hauling their horses. We were just hauling our dogs but this was still an enjoyable stop. Full laundry facilities and Wi-Fi. Close to Dinosaur Valley SP.

    Holiday Park Campground

    Surprising Off-Highway Park

    I chose this campground for its proximity to Fort Worth, and the lake. Just far enough off the highway to diminish all noise, surrounded by hiking trails, is the well maintained Holiday Park. Offering both water and electric hookups for RVs, some with a cabin included, alongside standard campsites right at the lake shore. Bathrooms are simple, fully functional, and never too far from any site. Sites are all a good size and not too close to neighbors. Nature/Horse trails line the park, and it's fairly quiet. There's some occasional aircraft noise, but no noise from the highway. The ranger station is well staffed and by the book, all the sites are visibly well maintained, cleaned regularly.

    Plateau — Lake Mineral Wells State Park

    Clean, beautiful and serene

    Late in the day we stopped at Lake Mineral Wells State Park, TX. We weren't sure where to go as the gate was unmanned at our arrival. We missed the turn to the campground, but a friendly and helpful Texas State Park Officer directed us how to get there. He helped us with how to make payment as well. 

    The campground was beautiful. It was quiet, the bathrooms were clean, and the lake was serene. There are at least 3 campgrounds, including shelters, equestrian, a loop for tenters, and a loop for larger rigs.  We stayed in the Plateau loop. Even though we only stayed one night, I would go back.

    Tadra Point Trailhead & Campground

    Easy access with hiking/horse trails

    We enjoyed our overnight stay near the trailhead. We weren't sure about the accessibility to the trailhead road with our 23 foot travel trailer so we opted to stay off road 904, where the horse trailers park, since there were some nice flat spots. Since we were just staying overnight as we were traveling back to the Midwest we didn't check out the other options. We did call the park Ranger and he said the trailhead is a great place to camp and easy to access with a trailer. Our hot spot on our cell phone was slow since we only had a couple bars, but we were able to get our work done. I would stay here again. We enjoyed a nice hike in the morning before we headed out.

    Plateau — Lake Mineral Wells State Park

    My Favorite State Park

    • Great rock climbing
    • Awesome hiking trails and nature…love the quiet solitude
    • Watching the sunsets from the viewing blinds
    • Lots of wildlife..Deer, Robin's
    • Multiple fishing piers and one of lit fishing pier
    • Park store that sells bait and rents kayaks & canoes

    This is my favorite State Park. As you drive over the dam to get to the camp site, there is usually a big sigh and you can feel your body relax. The hiking trails are awesome, wooded and peaceful. Usually as the dad, I am the one pushing the kids to go on a hike, but at this park it is the other way round. My eight and six year old's, wake me up wanting to go hiking and rock climbing. One weekend we counted that we had seen at least twenty-four deer.

    Watching the sunset from the viewing blind is mesmerizing. We love the lit fishing piers, after the kids are in bed, can indulge in some "me" time with a nice cigar and a couple of beers in a folding chair.

    And stop by Outlaw BBQ in Weatherford while you are there. They have some of the best breakfast burritos.

    Dinosaur Valley State Park Campground

    State Park in my back yard

    Best camping ground ever! Bathrooms and restrooms are newly remodeled, everything is clean and organized. Every camp spot has its own water source and electricity hookup, makes a huge difference at the hot Texas summer days and perfect for spending the nights not in a complete dark in case you’re using only a tent without a generator. The trails are great even in the Texan summer as many of them are beside the river where you can cool off. Highly recommended for families with kids all ages!

    From website:

    Find dinosaur tracks, camp, picnic, hike, mountain bike, swim, fish and paddle in the river, watch for wildlife, look for a geocache, ride your horse, or visit our interpretive center.

    Stay at one of our campsites. Explore 20 miles of trails. Shop our park store for souvenirs, camping and fishing supplies, books and much more.

    Discover dinosaur tracks It’s easy to find dinosaur tracks in the park – just head to the river!

    Cedar Hill State Park Campground

    One of my least favorite Texas State Parks To DAte

    St Patrick’s Day 2018 we head out to Cedar Hill State Park on the banks of Joe Pool Lake. Cedar Hill State Park is one big Texas State Park! With over 300 campsites you are sure to find one to your liking! A visit to the historical Penn Farm, heavy spring rains and lots of paved roads for scooting make this visit to Cedar Hill State Park a truly unique Texas State Park Visit for the Dude RV crew!

    There are 5 camping loops in this park! If you are wanting a lakeside campsite there are many options. The 3 loops on the north end of the park are close to the very busy road so there is road noise all the time.

    The Penn FArm exhibit is very cool for the whole family and is ADA compliant but a bit on the rough side for handicap scooters. 

    The day use area was in need of some work on my visit but I think the day use area has since been rebuilt.

    You can see the several videos of my visit on my YouTube...DudeRV


Guide to Weatherford

Weatherford camping areas provide access to varied terrain around the Brazos River and Lake Mineral Wells. Located in the Cross Timbers region of north Texas, campers experience hot summers with temperatures regularly exceeding 95°F and mild winters. The area features limestone outcroppings and oak-dotted landscapes that support diverse horse trails and water recreation options.

What to do

Trail riding with horses: Lake Mineral Wells State Park offers an equestrian-friendly environment with dedicated trails and campsites. "The equestrian trail and sites if you have horses" are available for riders who bring their own mounts, as noted by one visitor to Cross Timbers — Lake Mineral Wells State Park.

Rock climbing: Head to Penitentiary Hollow at Lake Mineral Wells for beginner to intermediate climbing routes. "Great rock climbing in Penitentiary Cove. Awesome rock formations, crevasses, and little shallow caves. Climbers enjoy this spot too," shares a visitor to Plateau — Lake Mineral Wells State Park. Another camper advises "MUST HAVE 15-20 FOOT SLINGS ANCHORS ARE MILES APART!!!" for those planning to climb at this location.

River tubing: The Brazos River near Weatherford offers seasonal tubing opportunities. "We tubed on Saturday and on Sunday we hung out on sandy island w new Friends while hubby n boys fished," notes a visitor to Hillbilly Haven Recreational Vehicle Park. Check water levels before planning a tubing trip as one reviewer mentioned they "ended up walking most of the way since the river was very low in most spots."

What campers like

Private shoreline access: Some campsites at Possum Kingdom State Park offer semi-private lake frontage. "112 is located perfectly right across from the bathrooms, and has a semi 'easy to access' water's edge," reports a visitor to Possum Kingdom State Park Campground. The park sits approximately 38 miles northwest of Weatherford and provides multiple water-access points for kayaking and fishing.

Wildlife viewing: The natural areas around Weatherford support diverse wildlife. "We saw a few deer and could hear coyotes in the distance at night," mentioned one camper at Lake Mineral Wells. Another visitor to Loyd Park shared that "a deer strolled casually and fearlessly through the site while munching on grass. The fish were also entertaining and the frogs serenaded at night."

Shaded campsites: Many campgrounds offer tree cover for protection from the Texas heat. "Lots of sites have lots of shade," noted a camper at Holiday Park. Another observed that the campgrounds near Weatherford feature "large sites with wooded privacy" making them comfortable even during summer months when temperatures regularly exceed 95°F.

What you should know

Seasonal water conditions: Water activities depend on rainfall and time of year. "If the river is too high these sites may be closed," warns a camper about primitive sites at Dinosaur Valley State Park Campground. Another notes "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."

Site selection matters: Not all campsites offer the same amenities or conditions. "Site 73 was the only other site in our little cul-de-sac," noted a camper about Holiday Park, suggesting the importance of researching specific site locations beforehand. Another camper mentioned that "Sites are roomy and clean. Close walk to the bathrooms," highlighting the practical benefits of their chosen location.

Insect preparedness: Be ready for common Texas pests during warmer months. "There were fire ants and chiggers all over our campsite!" warned one camper about Cedar Hill State Park. Pack insect repellent, especially during summer, and perform regular tick checks when hiking or horseback riding through wooded areas.

Tips for camping with families

Easy water recreation: Some campgrounds offer family-friendly water access without requiring boats. "Very nice campground with shaded paved sites. Some sites are short, so if you have a long rig you may want to call," advises a visitor about Dinosaur Valley. The park has "multiple dinosaur footprints along the river" that children can explore while wading.

Campground amenities: Look for facilities that offer activities beyond camping. "This park fits me. Dog park, horse stall rentals, storage unit rentals, recreation room, bathrooms and showers, tiny home rentals," shares a visitor to Hooves N Wheels RV Park. These additional amenities provide entertainment options for children during extended stays.

Safety considerations: Parks with controlled access provide extra security for families. "The park host is also a ranger. He and his wife were directly across from our site. The whole park seems to be heavily patrolled," notes a camper about Lake Mineral Wells State Park. Another mentions that some parks "close the gate at 10 pm and you must have a code to enter after that."

Tips from RVers

Hookup availability: Check specific site details as hookup types vary widely. "Sites with full hook up are limited, but even with annuals are still possible," notes a visitor about Bay Landing RV Campground. Another camper mentioned "If you want to stay where we did in sites 72-75 they were definitely electric only, contrary to what other reviews mentioned."

Level sites: Look for campgrounds with level concrete pads for easier setup. "Sites are sort of level side to side, a bit too far out for me to just take it but way off fore and aft," warns one RVer at Bay Landing. Another notes that "Pads are broken up almost to the point of dangerous" at one park, highlighting the importance of researching site conditions before arrival.

Big rig accessibility: Some parks accommodate larger vehicles better than others. "The park is designed with small loops for 15-20 camp sites in each loop. Very little traffic right by the individual spots. Easy in and out of park," reports a camper at Cedar Hill State Park. Road conditions may change seasonally, so call ahead for current access information if traveling with a large RV.
