Reservations are available at Oakdale RV Resort & Motorcoach in Glen Rose, Texas, where nightly rates run $25 to $32 and sites accommodate rigs up to 50 feet with full hookups including electric, water, and sewer. The terrain is open, so campers arriving in large coaches or fifth wheels will find the layout accommodating. Staff have shown flexibility with last-minute bookings, which is worth knowing if plans shift on the road.
The pool is a consistent draw. Reviewers with kids mention it specifically, and a snow cone stand across the street adds a practical summertime detail for families. The restrooms and showers have drawn repeated praise for cleanliness, and summer programming has included live music and playground access. The Paluxy River runs nearby, though water levels can vary considerably by season. As Kelly D. notes, "the river this year was on the dry side," a reminder to check conditions before planning a water-focused trip.
Big Rock Park sits directly across the street, and Dinosaur Valley State Park is a short drive away, making the resort a workable base for day trips in the area. Restaurants are within walking distance of the property. Tent campers can stay here, though the setup is oriented toward RVs. Pets are allowed.
