We were traveling north to Colorado and just had to pay a visit ot Lake Merideth, Sandford Yates campground. What stunning views! The pad was level the price was right at $9 with our National Parks Access Pass. We only spent one night here but would have no issues going back for more! I have two different videos of this park on my YouTube… DudeRV.com
I dont normally stay at private campgrounds as I am on a mission to visit every public campground in the great state of Texas. We needed to stay in Fredericksburge for a family affare and this fit our needs perfectly. plento of room to walk the dogs, level sites and easy access to the area. If I am ever in this area again and need a campsite I will state here.
There are three VOE Parks on Lake Navarrow Mills and in my personal opnion Wolf Creek Park is the best. We camped here all the time when I was a kid. Navarrow Mills is a fantastic fishing lake. Tons of Crappie and catfish. The facilities are what you would expect from a COE park. Concrete table farily level sites and best of all easy water access.
Liberty hill is a very beautiful campground but there is a serius issue with the invasive Argentian ant. This is a great campground to spend a few days or weeks relaxing and catching fish. Lake Navarro Mills is well know as the best Crappie fishing lake in Texas. Navarro Mills Liberty Hill Park features a fantastic fishing barge that is covered allowing you to fish no matter the weather. Our visit to Liberty Hill Park at Navarro Mills Lake was a real treat with one minor exception, Argentine Ants, these can be a real issue when RV camping at Liberty Hill Park as this invasive species is out of control at Liberty Hill Park.

As a rule I dontstay at too many private campgrounds but on occcasain I will. My daughter was graduating from A5M and we needed to be close so after lots of research we ended up here. The park was spotless! This is not so much of a destination park as opposed to a safe clean place to stay. I will stay here again when the second daughter graduates!
If you are planning a visit to Hico Texas to check out the historic downtown, buy some great pop-corn and visit the Billy The Kid Meusieum then you might need a place to stay. this park is a very affordable RV park. the claim to fame is the vintage RVs that you can rent for a night or 2.
The park hosts were very friendly and helpful the whole time we were there.
The RV sites are all full connnections pull through sites that are very, very tight. At the time of my visit there were no public restrooms or showers.
My Mother-in-Law spent two nights in "The Dude" a 27ft Airstream. her primary complaints… not much of a shower, no way to cook a meal, got locked in on the first night and had to rescued by the management.
My biggest issue is that the sites are just so close together.
I have videos of all of the vintage RVs on my YouTube…DudeRV.com
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.
I really enjoyed my short stay at this campground. There are no RV connections here so plan on a dry camp. This is not a very handicap friendly park as it is often under water when the river floods. Every morning the deer were grazing right next to my RV. The Hike to Gorman Falls is well worth it if you can do it. I have videos of this park on my YouTube…DudeRV.com
On our spring 2017 RV adventure we spent two nights RV camping at Fairfield Lake State Park. Fairfield Lake State Park is such a beautiful place to camp, fish and swim. We realy enjoy this stunning park! The campground at Fairfield Lake State Park is heavily treed and very well shaded. Thanks to being located on a power plant lake Fairfield Lake State Park has great fishing! Stocked with Red Drum, Bass, catfish and even Blue Tilapia there is a fish for everyone! Fairfield Lake State Park is one of my favorite Texas State Parks! You will not regret spending any amount of time visiting Fairfield Lake State Park.
I have several videos of this great park on my YouTube ….DudeRV.com
I did not spend the night. I was really excited about the apearence of this little COE campground but after about an hour I really did not feel very safe. As this park is not gated there is a no stop flow of cars crusing by checking out your setup, that really ubn nerved me, then I found out someone was killed at this location in 2019 and I decided to move on down the road.
This is one of the better COE campgrounds on Lake Whitney. There is easy access to the water from most of the campground. the sites are leavel and well spaced out. the facilities were clean and fresh at the time of our visit. I have videos of this campground on my Youtbe..DudeRV.com
Excellen place t spend quiet time by the lake! Such a beautiful setting in the east Texas Piney Woods! Our site was waterside so I only had to walk 15 feet to fish! the only downside was the love bug swarming that coated our rig in bug goo on the drive. I have a video of this park on my YouTube… DudeRV.com
I grew up camping here and have always loved it! great fishing and relaxing. The facilities have always been clean and fresh. The sites can be kinda off level but with the lake so close who cares! This lake is well know as a great Crappie lake! I have videos of my last visit on my YouTube…DudeRV,com
Mott park is a fantastic campground for lake activities! At the time of my visit the facilities were clean. The park was well cared for and the sites were all pretty good. It has has been a couple of years since my visit but I am sure that Mott park is just as nice as it was on my last visit. I have videos of my visit on my YouTube…DudeRV.com
At the time of my visit things were looking very rough here, but shortly after my videos went live on YouTube a huge clean up effort was launched and things are looking really good at this beautiful location. I went back one week before the park was closed for the season and the clean up was really looking good! I have videos of this campground on my YouTube….DudeRV.com
Located on the south shore of Pat Mayse Lake is the beautiful Corps Of Engineer campground Sanders Cove Recreation Area. This three loop campground is nestled among stunning trees and is a wonderful place to RV camp.
With two boat ramps you will have no issues putting your boat in the water. The swim area was kinda dull but better than nothing.
There is a serious fishing tournement held every year, Uncle Jesse Big Bass Classic Fishing Tournament, started by Denver Pyle who played Uncle Jesse on The Dukes of Hazzard fame, Denvers wife continues to hose this tournement in Denvers name today.

AS far as trailer parks go this one is ok, gravel roads and pads. there are full connections as well as a laundry facility but that is about it. certainly not a vacation destination.
On the very last day of 2018 we found ourselves camped out at Atlanta State Park on Wright Patman lake deep in the East Texas piney woods. Just a short drive north and west of the Texas Town of Atlanta set way back in the tall pine trees Atlanta State Park is truly a beautuful place to visit with your RV. Atlanta State Park is not well suited for the mobility challenged. I was unable to get down to the waters edge in most of the public use areas and there was little else for me to do in this Texas State Park. Our visit coincided with several days of cold winter rain and that further dampened our spirits and motivated us to cut short our visit by one full day. Dont get me wrong we really enjoyed our short visit to Atlanta State Park and look forward to a return visit when the sun is shinning but on this visit is was wet and gloomy.
Come along with us as we pay a visit to Atlanta State Park!
I spent three hots days exploring the DR Creek Unit of Cooper Lake State Park. This is a great campground! Most of the sites are in deep shade and are very level concrete pads.
If you have a boat then you will love the fishing on theis lake.
The day use area is OK, the swim area has a huge steel wall to block the wind and waves because they get really strong.
The cabins and shelters are pretty basic but they do the job.
plenty of wildlife for viewing and several great trails to explore.
Every campground I visit has at least two different videos on my YouTube…

Buescher State Park, Texas is a wonderful and beautiful place to spend some time relaxing and RV camping! We had the pleasure of spending a day and night at Buescher State Park, Texas in May of 2017.
