Great location not far from Austin Texas!

I’m new to RVing, and this is only my second campground — but I was really impressed! For around $30 a night, it’s well worth the price. The campsite was level, which made setup easy, and the park offers great amenities like a dump station, a small hiking trail, fishing spots, and places to swim. The front desk staff was friendly and welcoming, and the park stayed quiet and peaceful throughout the day. I’d definitely stay here again!

Quiet park on a lake

Nice COE park on a lake. Beautiful views, but lots of fire ants.

Low tree branches just after the gate. Scratched the sides of our rig (full body paint). Some lower tree branches on corners. Use caution with a rig greater than 12’ high around corners.

Very strict check in

Campsites are in great condition. The lake is very very low. Lots of deer. But don’t try to get in early. They are very strict and won’t allow any check ins until after 2:00 pm.

Not a bad spot for a weekend getaway

This campground has reopened recently after sustaining some serious flood damage after Harvey and other storms in the past few years. A number of lakefront sites have been permanently closed, but a couple of RV loops are reopened and the park isn’t in too bad of shape. There isn’t a ton to do if you don’t have your own boat, but it’s a relaxing spot even though pretty crowded on weekends.

Enjoyed the Deer, trails, and wildlife. The dump station on the wrong side of the road was a surprise.

COE Campground on Lake Somerville

This is a wonderful very well maintained Corp of Engineers campground on Lake Somerville. RV sites are level with plenty of spacing, lots of people tent camping. Sites have water and electric and there is a dump station. Clean bathrooms, well maintained trails and miles of accessible shoreline. Great AT&T and 2 bars T-Mobile reception. Some areas are closed because of previous flooding. Tons of deer wandering around every evening. Highly recommend for a relaxing place to stay.

Great lake sites

We had a great lake front site. The sites are long and most are wide. Fairly level Granite gravel sites, with grassy areas between sites.

A hidden gem with gorgeous sunsets!

I recently went on a camping trip solo (minus the hubby) with my old-man dog here. We tent camped at site #177. This is a beautiful park on a beautiful lake! Here are some of the pros: friendly couple at check-in/entrance shack, friendly rangers driving around checking on folks, deer everywhere(!), beautiful lake view, well-maintained grounds, good shade trees, trash dumpsters within walking distance, electricity/water hookups worked great, picnic table/fire ring/grill, gorgeous sunsets(!), very quiet at night, cute and clean little beach/swim area to hang out in. The cons for me were: getting to the water from my site was not as direct as it looked on the map, circular bricks with holes on the shore were not dog friendly (not human leg friendly either), bathrooms/showers were closed in our area/circle due to Covid-19. I would ABSOLUTELY return to this park!! 

I really appreciated the hospitality shown here! They recognized that I was a lone female (but a very confident/independent one) with an old man-dog and, respectfully, went out of their way to make sure that we were okay!
