    Splashway Campground

    Awesome park with tons of activities!

    Campsites are a little close together, but well equipped otherwise. Went for The water park, which is a blast, and campsites are within easy walking distance. There are a ton of other activities as well - putt-putt, laser tag, paddle boats, fishing, etc. also had curbside trash pickup which was nice.

    Would have been nice if there were some incentives for the water park for campers - early entrance, or discount, but that would be the only thing I would add.

    Interesting State Park Near Houston

    We had no problem finding this interesting state park as our RV GPS took us right to the gate and we had been to this campground (CG) two years ago. This time, we knew better than to park at the office's stop sign to register, which is where most CGs have you stop when registering. There’s a sign that says not to park there but to pull forward. Last time we, didn't read the stop sign and got our butt chewed by a park ranger. As we are disabled veterans, we also got new Texas State Park passes, so we did not have to pay the additional$5 per person state park entry fee on top of the camping fee. You do not have to be a Texas resident but you need to be at least 60 percent service disabled. The same very nice and knowledgeable lady from last time checked us in and we proceeded to pull through site 17 with FHUs, but only 30 AMP. The utilities are placed centered on the site, which is nice. The water pressure here is on the low side at around 30-35 psi. The sites are nearby, but the spacious yard has a cement patio, picnic table, and fire pit. We had no problem getting our 40’ 5th wheel in the site but had to park our F450 at an angle in front of the rig. We got 2 bars on Verizon and were able to place our Starlink to get a shot of the northern sky. There are a lot of mature trees in this CG, so the satellite is going to depend on the site. As we checked in, we were told several trails had opened back up as the area was recovering from heavy rain and flooding. The golf course, now private, had opened back up as well, but there was still a lot of water on the course when we were there in February.

    Medical Center RV Resort

    Clean, quiet, and inviting

    Wide roads to maneuver and large spaces made it easy to get in and get setup, no cars clogging the lanes.  Private rooms in the bathhouse let you feel comfortable and not like a locker room.

    Everyone was so friendly and nice and the park feels like you are not in the city despite so close to everything.  At night the string lights overhead give a warm and comforting feeling to walk around and enjoy the cool evening air.

    No trees or picnic tables at the sites, but, we had our own table and chairs to use.

    Highly recommend to all!

    Great State Park for Hiking/Biking

    We stayed in spot 112 in February 2024.  

    • Sites are very nice, wide, and (mostly) level.  
    • Campground is kept clean.  
    • Bathroom is a bit outdated, but still clean.
    • Trails are very nice and appear top be kept up regularly.  Just watch out for the alligators.
    • Don't forget to reserve a spot at the observatory on Saturday nights...

    Clean grounds with services and decent location to downtown.

    Besides the road construction right in front that makes it a bit confusing to get into, the place is VERY clean, clean laundry, guest area with free donuts on Mondays. Large spots with all services.

    About 15 minutes from museum district and downtown. Shuttle to medical center for free.

    Stephen Austin State Park Campground

    Excellent Park for Weekend Camping Trips

    We have been to this park twice.  Once as our very first trip with our travel trailer (Site 24), and once again this year (Site 13).  This park is really nice for hiking, biking, or just relaxing.

    Great trails for all exercise levels.  Lots of places to stop and rest, or just sit and take in nature for a while.

    Just be careful, if Google GPS tries to take you to the back gate... :)  It's a tiny road, and a dead end.

    Splashway Campground Review

    This is a great campground with lots to do. It is awesome like geometry dash lite. We camped: the camp pitch was fairly level with electric hookup, water supply close to the tent and a fire pit for each pitch. There are also RV hookups as well. My kids totally enjoyed the laser tag, there is also a boating pond, fishing and live music on a Saturday night. The toilet block was the cleanest I have ever seen on a campsite- it was as clean as many hotels I have stayed in. One good advice for anyone staying in a campsite in Texas: compared to campsites in more temperate climes, Texas campsites are dusty and have as much dirt as grass on the pitches(and this site is no exception). Bring a tarp to put under your tent- it will be a lot easier to clean than the bottom of a sewn-in groundsheet when you get home.

    Lovely, heartedly welcoming run place!

    We’re new to RV camping. This beautiful place was the second stop and the heart warming welcome was awesome. I would say it’s all the little extras which give that great holiday feel: lovely deee coffee, all amenities and spa etc you can use 24/7 and: the property is spotless and clean. The outdoor fire place with swings and nice seating area are an beautiful extra. Thank you!

    Brilliant

    Wow, I recently had the most incredible stay at Brackenridge Park& Campground! this service helped me with this: https://andersenlab.com/services/security-management. I cannot stop raving about this hidden gem nestled in nature's lap. From the second I arrived, I was captivated by the serene environment and the welcoming atmosphere that enveloped me.

Whether it used to be a leisurely stroll alongside the scenic trails or simply basking in the splendor of the landscape, I observed myself completely immersed in the tranquility of this place. 

    The amenities were top-notch too! The well-maintained campsites had all the necessities for a comfortable stay, and the clean restroom facilities were an added bonus. But what truly blew me away were the recreational activities available. From fishing and kayaking to bird-watching and star-gazing, there was once never a dull moment. 

    The first-class part was the pleasant and helpful staff who made me experience like a valued guest throughout my stay. I left Brackenridge Park& Campground with unforgettable memories and a rejuvenated spirit. I highly recommend this haven to anyone seeking a peaceful escape and a chance to reconnect with nature. This place truly changed my perspective on camping, and I can't wait to return!

    Thousand Trails Colorado River

    Wide open space, lovely and quiet

    Stayed here for one night while traveling through.  We wish we had a little more time to spend here.  It's a large campground, with lots of choices of types of spaces to stay, i.e. by the water under the trees, or in an open area. 

    We appreciate that it was quiet at night.  Customer service was very courteous and friendly.
