This is a concessionaire managed, US Forest Service facility. The positives for this campground it is big rig friendly with paved access roads, easy in and out, and all sites are concrete or paved. Full hook-ups and pull thru’s are not the norm, but are available thru out the campground. Space between sites is abundant. Each has a picnic table and fire ring/grill. Water pressure and voltage was good. There is a nice separate tent area only, also spacious, but without hook-ups. Bath houses are conveniently spaced thru out the campground. There are two small lakes and nice biking/hiking trails. One lake has a pavilion, seasonal concession, and designated swimming area. The negatives are that the access roads have some potholes and crumbling pavement. Most sites will require some higher degree of leveling - more for longer rigs. The bath houses aren’t heated, there is no laundry or playground, dump station, and the single dumpster is not within walking distance of the campsites. Satellite reception will only be possible on a few sites and good TV reception is also minimal. The Golden Age and Access card is recognized, but only for a discount instead of the normal half price fee. Without this discount the cost is comparable to a commercial CG with more amenities. My rating is a reflection of a few too many negatives and the high price for a site. But, if the intent of one’s visit is to take advantage of natural surroundings with camp site privacy, then this is a good place to do it. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Awesome park! There are several miles of walking and mountain biking trails. Also a small 23 acre lake with catfish and bass with many fishing piers and benches for just enjoying the view. The sites are huge and most accommodating just about any size camper with multiple slides. The park is very clean and well maintained and the staff is very helpful and friendly. We will return many times a year. This park is a jewel. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This is a very nice, quiet park. Most of the sites are spaced farther apart than the state parks in the region, giving a lot of seclusion to each site. A few are alongside each other, allowing two RV's to camp together. Outside our windows, all we could see were trees. We did have to do some leveling. A few very large pull through sites are available, but most are back-in. The operation of the campground has been taken over by a concessionaire. We didn't see a lot of park employees, just someone who dropped off our pass as we were setting up, as we had reserved and paid ahead. The entrance gate was unmanned the whole time we were there, apparently this is still off-season. The park is actually very near the town of Coldspring, even with the secluded feel of the spot. All in all, a very nice park. The overnight fee given does not include the on line reservation fee. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We have stayed here twice in the past 5 months and were not disappointed either time. Really nice and private sites surrounded by forest. Nice long trails for walking and biking. A swimming lake to cool off and lots of picnic areas. They also have boat rentals. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This is a US Forest Service campground and it is immaculate. I almost hate to advertise it and keep it a secret. It has paved roads, paved sites and the grounds are very clean and maintained. Sites range from full hook up to primitive. Has small lake for fishing, boating (canoes, paddleboats, that type) and plenty of walking trails. Very quiet and in the middle of a national forest. There are also double sites if you are going with a friend that also has a trailer or RV. Several pull throughs and all of the back-ins are easy to get into for even the most novice backers. Staff and workampers are very helpful and cheerful. Doesn't have swimming pool, but does have roped off area and beach on lake. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This is a new RV park that is barely a year old. Each site has full hookups and the Wi-Fi works very well. All sites are large with amble room for very large rigs. The staff is very friendly and helpful. This is a family friendly park that welcomes snowbirds but does not have permanent residence like many other parks I have been to. There are lots of trees for shade and lots of trails for hiking. We camped here in a Motorhome.
The full hookup sites ($20) are in a circle, and close together. The other sites w/ water & electric ($17) have more privacy. Waterfront, $4 extra. The "Overflow" sites w/no hookups are $10, no big rigs. Have camped here since it opened in the 70's. The other reviews are right. It's a very nice park, much better than the state park across the lake. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
A Texas Jewel! We loved this park. Our site was right on the lake, literally, what a view! We fished off the bulkhead and caught catfish and perch all weekend under a beautiful moon right behind our trailer. All sites appeared well maintained and ours did not require any leveling. The kids enjoyed the putt putt, swim beach and snowcones (sold at the park store). This park is very close to town and other marinas for any supplies or bait that you can't get at the park store. The bathrooms were clean, but could use some updating. There are no trails, but this campground has paved roads that are nice for biking or walking. We will return again this year. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Another visit and another perfect 10 score. We arrived about 3 weeks after hurricane IKE and they were still cleaning up downed trees and debris but the place was in good shape. We stayed 5 days this time. I notice they installed AC in the bathrooms which is a good thing. Place is pitch black dark at night with all the tree cover. The lake is beautiful as always. Catfishing is second to none. It's not even a challenge to catch them. We caught about 50 and put them all back in. Only complaint: Still no Wi-Fi or cable. Only 3 TV stations can be had and 2 are religious junk. Best park in the country ! We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a great family park. We truly enjoyed ourselves. We looked at some of the other area parks while we were here and found that Wolf Creek much more family oriented with it's amenities than Double Lake and even Livingston State Park. The others parks have very secluded sights, but are nice. The kids like being able to do things other than fish and look at the stars. The kids loved the playground, and sites on the water were great. We will definitely be back. We camped here in a Motorhome.
The staff was very friendly and had a great time. Enjoyed the quiet nights away from the city noise. Will definitely return here. We camped here in a Tent.
Wonderful park in the amongst the tall pines on Lake Livingston. Waterfront sites are beautiful, we stayed up on the hill away from the lake. These sites had hookups but were more privative type. We are returning next week as we truly enjoyed this area. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Our most favorite campground in the USA. Upon our first visit 2 years ago to this camp I fell hard for the beautiful area of Coldspring, Texas. So I bought our retirement property on the big lake. Everything about this place is beautiful. The perfectly done grassy lawns, smooth paved roads, heavy tree cover, well kept grounds. And oh the lake front sites are the very best. Drive by Lake Livingston State Park and come here. The only negative thing I can say about this camp is the office staff seemed like a typical government employee. If you are lucky you will experience a lightning storm over the lake in the middle of the night. Pay the extra $5 for the lake front site. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a great family park. The park employees were very nice and helpful. The couple who owns the Marina where extremely nice. Lots of shade trees, picnic tables, playground, sand volley ball court, fishing pier, boat rentals, minature golf. This park was very peaceful and relaxing. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Very nice park, sites are close and good for a multiple camping group. Park is closed from November 30th until March 1st. There are 39 full hookups and many more with water/ electricity and more still for tenting, some are right on the water. There is a small store for essentials and the people are very friendly. This is definitely a family oriented park and we will be back soon. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
