The park staff were very friendly and accommodating. The park is laid out in a somewhat confusing manner, so get a park map before you leave the park office. It's a beautiful park with lots of shade and good access to the river, although you have to drive to it. The river access is not close to the camp sites. The sites are nice and most have trees providing some separation between you and the next site. Some sites are more secluded than others. Some sites are also quite a hike to the bathhouse, while some are closer. Park staff can tell you which are closer to restrooms or more secluded. Restrooms were clean and recently renovated. Showers looked nice, but I didn't use them so I can't comment on hot water availability. Only two areas provided good access to the river and the dinosaur tracks, even though more are listed on the map. This is a beautiful park with good amenities and friendly staff. We would camp there again. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

We enjoyed this park very much. The scenic trails by the river are very well maintained as is the campground as a whole. We were fortunate that the river was low and the dinosaur tracks were visible. Campground personnel were very knowledgeable and helpful. The grandchildren loved it. We will definitely return to Dinosaur Valley. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Took our 4 year old grandson here and he loved it. Lots of things to do in the area, Fossil Rim Wild life area, Dinosaur World and the Tracks in the river bed at the state Park. Sites are large and all are back-ins, We have a 40 foot diesel pusher and the camp staff was very helpful in informing us which sites were large enough for us. Park sites only have 30 amp with water and no sewer. Roads were wide enough for us to travel through and there were no over hanging branches, The park does have lots of trees. Our site was level, all sites have a picnic table, grill and fire pit. Would recommend this park to any one with children or grandchildren. This park does get full on weekends so it is a must to have a reservation for the weekend. During the week is the best time to go, not as crowded and a great amount of choice of sites. Would have rated this park a 10 except for the no sewer at sites and only 30 amps We camped here in a Motorhome.

Staff great,grand-daughter loved the park. Were able to park 35' motorhome with triple slide without a problem. Loved the stay. We camped here in a Motorhome.

$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! We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

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.

Sites are level and wide but a bit close -- offset by the foliage, giving somewhat of a sense of seperation. Each site has picnic tables and fire grills. Interesting place to visit if you like Dinosaur stuff. Several fossilized footprints in the nearby stream bed. We camped here in a camper.

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 stayed there in May of 2001, place had tree limbs hanging down over the roads that almost gave me a heart attack to think they might rupture the rubber roof. The place isn't big rig friendly at all. You go in and pay, then you go and find a spot. Trouble is, if you don't find a spot, and go to turn around, you almost have to exit the park to get back to the camping area. The site we chose, we had to use blocks under our wheels plus the jacks to get our coach close to level, but not level. A pic on their site shows about a 32' RV, but it's about the only place you can get a big coach in. Notice the rising elevation in the background. It's a nightmare site to get level. Grass was almost 10" and unmowed, rock roadways had deep washouts. I wouldn't recommend anyone to stay unless they can go and check it out for themselves to see what I'm talking about. I have also written to Woodalls and let them know about the rating they gave, and I should have been refunded for buying their book, since they promote campgrounds for anyone who wants to be added into their book. We camped here in a camper.

For the most part everyone was friendly. Security was excellent! We enjoyed the schedule of activities for the kids everyday. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We camped here with our two children ages 4 and 9 over the Easter holiday weekend. All of the staff there were so friendly and helpful! They had a very nice lodge, playground, volley ball nets, horseshoe pits and a lot of extra activities going on that were a lot of fun for family time together. They were so good to the kids! Everything at the campground was very clean! You can tell they have been doing a lot of hard work cleaning this campground up! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This is our home Park for our Ocean Canyon RV Membership. This is an older park but since being taken over by Ocean Canyon Resorts many improvements are continuing. One note is that this park will be going private. Numerous and spacious spots. Pretty level spots too. Pool was very nice and many activities for children. Cabins looked nice and more are currently being added. Access to the 3 rivers is very close with tubing, canoeing and boat access close as well. Future improvements include having tubing and boat access to the rivers right on site. Staff was friendly and helpful. Location is minutes from Fossil Rim Wildlife Park and Dino Valley State Park. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

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.

This is a very unique park, and we've stayed here multiple times. It was a summer camp built for kids in the 1920s, and many of the old structures still exist. It has one of the oldest concrete swimming pools in existence. The surroundings are beautiful, Huge trees growing along the river bed make for a wonderful place to take leisurely strolls. We camp with our kids, and the management brings in a variety of activities, like river rafting, horseback riding, etc. The downside to this place are the sites themselves, grassy sites at a lower grade than the gravel driveway is trouble (we were there once during a rainstorm, and a big diesel pusher required a towtruck to get out), and the only 50 amp hookups are around one pole in the middle. The sites are ill defined, and would be very cramped if the place ever filled up, which it never does. Best bet is a back-in spot along the left side as you drive in, under the trees. We camped here in a Motorhome.

All sites were grass, narrow, short, mostly SIDE-by-SIDE hookups which puts rigs too close to each other, we didn't like any of those features. There are some "cabin type" rental units. Some of the RV sites appeared to have been occupied or stored there for sometime (grass growing up under the rigs, "stuff" stored under the rigs, etc.). Only a very few sites had 50Amp service (our site was 30 Amp). Probably an OK place for river fishing if you don't have a large trailer or large motorhome. New manager (only one when we were there) was often not on property during office hours. Inexperienced teenage staff damaged (tore hole in rear bumper while we were parked in our space) our new motorhome while 'mowing' grass with a large tractor equipped with hydraulic front bucket and bushhogger (of all things!). Rowdy, noisy groups during nights we were there. We had been looking forward to staying there, but we were very dissappointed. This experience taught us to be much more selective when choosing a place. We camped here in a camper.
