$25 fee, plus an entrance fee per person makes this a pricey campground. Smaller trailers and MH won't have any problem with the narrow roads, but in a larger MH or our 36' 5th wheel, the narrow road and dense cedars make it interesting to get into a site. The sites are close together, and most are back-in. With a larger rig, the number of usable sites to back into is limited. The area is a great area to explore and have fun in, but because of the volume of people so close together, do expect to have peace and quiet. We arrived mid week without reservations, but it was March. However, we couldn't stay for the weekend because all of the sites were reserved. We will stay again, but try to miss the crowds. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This was our second time at this park. The first time we went it rained most of our trip. We hiked the trails, which were great and also made for some great photos. The atmosphere is friendly here. The dinosaur track areas are neat to see and the rocks we crossed to get there was exciting to cross with the water flowing over. Our dogs chased balls in the water and enjoyed it. The water was a little chilly when we went, but what isn't in Texas during March. The dinosaurs at the front of the park also make for creative photos and add a great element to this park! My husband and I stayed here with our two nephews and 3 dogs. I love staying at this park because of the trails, the flowing water, and the nice atmosphere! We will be back again!

Beautiful area, even if the sites are very close together. The dense cedar trees make it seem like you are truly in an isolated area. However, there are several negatives to this campground: 1) price is higher than other Texas state parks (maybe because it's so popular and close to Fossil Rim Wildlife Park) and 2) fills up almost a year in advance and because you never know about the Texas weather while camping in spring and fall, you take a chance that you'll be camping in a downpour. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

This is an older park located near downtown Glen Rose, maybe a bit worn but very comfortable. It has grass covered sites and some sites have big trees for shade. There are some picnic tables. There are some tent sites.There are many cabins for rent. The place has lots of kids. There is a huge pool called the "Oakdale Plunge", which costs extra on weekends ($10 a day), but is free on some weekdays for campers. The park is across the street from the city's "Big Rocks Park", which was strewn with big boulders, along a little river to swim and wade in. It was just a short drive to restaurants and shopping. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This is not a resort park but, it was adequate, relatively clean, adequate spacing, fairly level. Kind of a tight squeeze getting into camping area but trees were trimmed adequately to prevent dragging over coach. Choose exact camping spot for yourself and check looks of electrical boxes (some quite good, some marginal). Golf is simply great at 36 hole facility run by the county about 5 minutes from campground. We camped here in a Motorhome.

To be fair, we are newbies to this whole experience, but we found this RV park to be quite adequate. Right across the street is BIG ROCKS, a city owned park which the Paluxy River runs right through. The water is shallow and great for kids. The park is "older", celebrated it's 40th year this year. There is a great pool, 60's style set up. Lots of Bluegrass music can be heard here at different times of the year. They hold different festivals and celebrations throughtout the year. We also enjoyed going to Dinosaur Valley State Park located less than 3 miles from there. Shallow water in most parts of the Paluxy enable visitors to see clearly many dino prints all along the waterway. You should also visit the Creation Evidence Museum located near the park. All in all, we thougth this RV park was a great first experience. Staff was friendly, helpful. They also have cabins available for rent. We camped here Easter weekend 2003 in a 34' bumper pull Laredo by Keystone. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We have just returned from Tres Rios River Ranch and are quite disappointed. The park is nice enough. Has excellent water access to Squaw Creek, the Paluxy River and the Brazos River. The staff seems friendly and helpful. The sites are somewhat close and quite dusty but this is Texas in the summer so dusty is to be expected. What we did not expect was the haphazard way in which the park is maintained. We arrived on Thursday and stayed through the following Tuesday. The bathrooms were already somewhat unclean on Thursday but quickly became a fetid, stinking mess by Friday and remained that way until they were given a cursory cleaning on Tuesday. Complaints to the management were quickly dispatched to their workers, however the workers were extremely lackadaisical in performing their jobs. When a toilet became clogged and overflowed in the men's room, the worker came out with a plunger and fixed the clog, but left the filthy mess on the floor. No one ever came back to clean it. There was always mud covering the floor, even in the showers themselves. It was impossible to get dressed after a shower and not soil your clothing in the process. Also, although there are over 300 sites at this park, there is only one bathroom. In the women's side there are 3 showers, one of which worked only sporadically during our stay. This should be a great place for families with children. They have a nice pool and lots of room for kids to play (including a fun playground), yet because of the filthy bathroom conditions, I doubt we will return. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

We are actually staying here while I am writing this review. There are many sites here, though mostly narrow and due to the lack of rain it is very, very dusty. Everything we have outside, like chairs, tables, grills etc. have a fine coat of dust. Staff is helpful and friendly, and wireless internet is helpful to find local attractions and stores. There are a couple of Walmart's with in 15 to 25 miles away. The intown grocery store is well stocked. Get here early, on a Thursday if possible. We came in on Thursday and by Friday evening this place was packed, probably not to capacity because this place has numerous spaces, but by viewing the spaces left, I wouldn't want them. The pool is adequate, lots of river access although I did not see one person canoeing, or swimming in the river, maybe because a lot of the river access I saw had high weeds and lots of eroded banks. Most of the river bank area and river access looks to be accessible by primitive tent campers. Judging by all the fire rings and beer cans on the river's edge that area can get packed as well. We didn't see many tent campers as it is over 100 degrees everyday and very dusty at this time of the year. I know this sounds kind of negative but over all I give this place a 5 out of 10. The sites are somewhat level and mowed, but I prefer a solid pad. Showers are okay, restroom are okay as well, they were clean enough just a little old. There are quite a few cabin rentals, if you can call all of them cabins, some nothing more than an extremely large trailer house with 5 or 6 front doors. Many rigs here are permanent, weeds growing around them, stuff stuck in nooks and crannies around their sites. To sum it up this place is kind of like a summer camp like it used to be in the 1920s, not a resort. It would be a great place for kids to run around and be kids if they took reservations, this place is crammed with cars and tighter than sardines right now, cars everywhere, lots of motorhomes have multiple visitors with multiple cars. So if ya like hot weather, dust and lots of kids running through your space, albeit friendly kids, this is the summer place for you. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

I went here not knowing what to expect. The previous two reviews were conflicting. I found the second or the positive one to be correct. This is not one of those large resorts with modems, concrete pads, etc., but it is a very good family park and it was easy to find and manuever in. I parked in the open area in the middle but there are still trees in this area. Granted the sites were grass, but it was well maintained and level. The sites have side-by-side, but with so many, no one is that close to each other unless they area travelling in a group and want to be. The tent sites are on the lower levels on the creek and river banks and the cabins are in the back area, so everything is separated. It was a holiday weekend and many people were in the park, but we didn't notice and noise or people running through our campsite. I would definitely go back again and would recommend it to others. They don't take reservations on rv and tent sites, but with so many sites they are never crowded. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
