Just ok
Camp spots are right on top of each other. Camp hosts were lovely, though. There are better places to camp on this lake…..

great
It is mentioned that the campground has 82 sites, out of which 65 have 50-amp electrical and water hookups. Additionally, it provides flush toilets, showers, picnic tables, fire rings, two boat ramps house of hazards, an interpretive trail, and a dump station on-site. The natural features of the campground include the scenic shoreline of Somerville Lake, where pelicans and other waterfowl can be seen.
Here in the winter it’s nice enough
It’s mid February and pretty empty during the week except the camp hosts who are friendly. Got to probably 70% capacity over the weekend. It’s rural and not a lot going on, which is what I wanted. Went to Brenham ice cream factory and that was an awesome free tour. Site 4 is where I’d like to stay next time I’m here. I’m at site 37 and it’s a Y share with 36. Tight turning for some of these sites. Bathhouse was clean enough for an army corps of engineers campground but I would not recommended.

Good for family
Not too bad. Campsites right on the water. They are a bit close together but good for multi family and friend trips.

A Good Site During Off Season
The park was a good site. I camped during the off season. It has showers with working hot water and clean bathrooms.
It is showing its age in infrastructure, and the playground is removed, but the nature trail was a good walk and the only real problem were neighbors, which would vary depending on your luck.

A life of memories here
This campground is extra special to me. I camped here with my family when I was in my teens. I am 61 now. I had not been here for over 40 years and got back into camping and this was one of my first spots to visit. The lake is beautiful. The sites are laid out well. Restroom and showers are clean. There is a marina a few miles away (not apart of the campground) that you can fish off there pier for $5 a day. I have already booked 4 visits for next year.

Nice park with views of sunrise and sunset
• Water
• 20/30/50 amp
• Grill on a swivel so you can turn it in high winds
• Fire Ring with flip-over grate
• Metal mesh Picnic Table. Table is in full sun in early-mid afternoon, but not for long. A canopy would help.
• Site Pad: Crushed Granite and level. Very long site with extra room after the pad site
👍🏻 Pros:
• Nice view of the water toward Welch Park and the dam
• You can get a good view of the sunset and sunrise
• Close to the restrooms/shower
• Wide view of the lake as it curves around the campground
• Shade, but open areas so breeze can come through
👎🏻 Cons:• No sewer hookups at site
📝 Park Notes:
• Gates closed and locked from 10p to 6a(can get out, but not back in)
• Dump Station
• Restrooms/ Bath House(but had LOTS of tiny dead bugs piled up)
• Most of this campground has a barrier wall, so only limited spots where you can access the water. One place in this loop and a bigger area(but busy) section on the other side of the main loop.
• There are Munzees and Geocaches here and in the area
• You can use your America the Beautiful Access Passes here. They sell them at the main entrance booth, but they were out of the Annual Passes.
🐦 Wildlife:
• Birds: Cardinals(not afraid to hang out on my site), Mockingbirds, Herons, Cranes, Shore birds, LBJ's(little brown jobbers), Chickadees
• Deer

Beautiful lake for fishing
Beautiful and calm lake. Great for fishing, kayaking and canoeing. Only drawback is the bathroom can be cleaner and provide sink for washing
