Hico City Park

The sites at Hico City Park sit directly within the town's municipal park system, offering full hookups for RVs alongside basic amenities like picnic tables and fire rings. Campers can walk straight into downtown Hico from their sites, making this a convenient base for exploring the area's Old West attractions and local dining options.

The campground operates with both pull-through and back-in configurations, though spacing between sites runs tighter than typical state park layouts. Jim W. notes the setup is "clean, quiet, with spacing closer to state parks than commercial slide to side set ups." A playground occupies part of the park grounds, and the municipal location means local law enforcement maintains a regular presence in the area.

Recent visitors report mixed experiences with site availability, as some spots appear occupied by longer-term residents with permanent utility connections. The park lacks public restrooms or shower facilities, making this primarily a hookup-focused stop rather than a full-service campground. For additional camping options in the region, campers can explore places to camp near Dublin or check nearby alternatives like Off The Vine RV Park.

Reservations are accepted, which helps secure a spot during busier periods when transient sites fill up quickly.

Adorable little small town

Camped right in the beautiful city park. Felt very safe with a Hico police officer a couple of sites over. Quick walk to the adorable town with shopping, restaurants, saloons. Old wes vibe with Billy the Kid museum.

Great Overnight Stay

Three hours north of San Antonio via 281. If you haven't experienced 35 through Central Texas it's not as glamorous as you think.

The campground is clean, quiet, with spacing closer to state parks than commercial slide to side set ups.

It Was Great then but now.....

I spent one night here two years ago and loved it! VEry quiet, few campers and an easy walk into downtown Hico. Last week end, 11-07-2020 we passed through Hico and drove through the park and I was dismayed to see that all of the RV sites were occupied by permenant residents with solid connections to sewer and water. There was an accumulation of "stuff" around each trailer. So very sad.

Pull through and back-in spots

This place has pull through and back in spots and there is a map at the entrance showing which are which. There was no public restroom or shower here but there are hookups. There is a really nice playground here. This would be a good place if your just looking for a place to sleep for the night but there is very little room between spaces. Not the worst place but definitely not the nicest.
