On The Lake RV Resort

SUMMARY PRESENTED BY

Sitting on the shore of Lake Livingston in Onalaska, roughly an hour north of Houston, On The Lake RV Resort draws weekend travelers looking for full-hookup RV camping with direct lake access. Sites vary in proximity to the water, though many carry open sightlines toward the lake, and lakefront positions tend to fill quickly on busy weekends. The park operates as a KOA Holiday, and the close site spacing that comes with that format is worth knowing before you book.

Full hookups include electric, water, and sewer connections, plus cable TV. The resort has a small swimming beach and a fishing area along the water, and boat-in access makes it easy for campers arriving by water. An on-site restaurant is a consistent draw. Debbie J. notes "a nice area for fishing" and mentions the restaurant's homemade pie specifically. The park allows pets and takes reservations, which matters given how crowded it can get on holiday weekends, when kids on bikes are a regular part of the scene.

Rates run $42 to $58 per night depending on site type and season. WiFi is available on-site, and a dump station serves campers who need it. The park stays active through summer but has also drawn visitors in late fall and winter, when the lake views remain and the crowds thin out considerably. Nearby alternatives include Northshore RV Resort on Lake Livingston about two miles east, or Lakeside RV Resort & Marina for a different waterfront setup on the same lake.

Fantastic lake views & great on-site restaurant

Our sites were amazing with gorgeous lake views with sunsets for dayyyys! The on-site restaurant had good cocktails and great food. We went during the winter (November, right before Thanksgiving), so didnt do any of the swimming/water activities. Super nice staff and all around great time. Clean park. We will definitely be back!

Lakeside KOA with nice views of Lake Livingston

This KOA Holiday was a good place for a weekend camping outing. It’s right on Lake Livingston, so many sites have lake views. The sites are very close together, typical KOA style.

Very clean, nice people and beautiful location on the lake.

We enjoyed it so much when we went Memorial Day, we've already made reservations for Labor Day! Just a great place to relax, get away and unwind.

Nice Weekend Getaway. Good for Families

We camped here for a long weekend getaway. The park is a little over an hour north of Houston and easy to get to. We did not have a lakefront site, but we had a really good view of the lake. The full hookups were great and included cable tv. The park was a bit crowded for the weekend, with a lot of kids running around and riding bikes. There is a small swimming beach as well as a nice area for fishing. The park has a restaurant, which we went to for homemade pie!

Awesome getaway

This place is great. We showed up in the evening and were assisted by staff after hours. We went during the end of winter and can see during the summer that this place will be a go to spot for us. Also a great getaway for a weekend trip to get out of the city
