Very clean Family atmosphere people are excellent very helpful nice playground for the kids got pedal boats, a boat launch,pool and jacuzzi. got general store with bait and drinks and free coffee. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Nice enough park, site we stayed at was pretty level. Not much to do at the park. Lake Livingston and Huntsville were fairly close by. Nice people and clean park. Pretty easy to get in and out of with our large 5er. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
New campground, wide spaces, tight turns, internet station in TV room, gravel and level
sites, good water pressure, easy in/out We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Nice park & less than 15 minutes from Huntsville TX. Park encompasses Lake Raven where you can fish, boat,(electric motors only), canoe/kayak, or swim. Nicely laid-out sites with lots of shade & mostly pull-thru. Concrete stairs down to lake level in the area we stayed at. Small playground, fish-cleaning stations, nature trails, and wildlife observatory with baby alligators, etc. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
We stayed in Raven Hill Section. The roads and spots were newly paved. We had to try several spots before finding a fairly level one. Take plenty of wood for leveling. The spots closest to the water seem to be the most level, but were first taken. Enjoyed the quiet, spacious area. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We enjoyed this park. Most of the sites are tree covered and are not too close together. Quite a few sites are gravel and are very uneven. Bring lots of lumber to level out your rig if you get one of these. There are some paved sites if you are lucky enough to get one. Lake Raven is a nice size lake. They rent canoes and fishing equipment if you need it. My daughters had a great time here. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Though this is a nice park, as are most of the Texas state parks, I will confirm the previous reviews that it is showing its age. We stayed in the Raven Hill loop and it is not as well equipped for larger RV's as are many of the newer state parks. Pop-ups and smaller trailers would do just fine. I almost had a calamity at the first pull through site I tried due to a tree leaning into the path. The upgrades and renovations mentioned in an earlier review seem to mainly be directed to erosion control. Though highly appropriate, they do not help the site size and leveling problem. Several of the old concrete picnic tables are broken. My electrical box was in need of repair (it would not have passed code inspection). The restrooms were not as clean as I have seen at other state parks. The shower facilities are not as nice as at newer state parks. Sewer hook ups are not available at each site, but there is a conveniently located dump station. The staff was helpful and friendly. We would stay here again due to the location, but will preferentially stay at other state parks in the region if we have a choice. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Like others have mentioned this park is in need of a upgrade and it appears that is in progress, It's a very old park so the "Land Yachts" will have some problems with the small spaces, also as mentioned all spots are unlevel. Nice little lake and hiking trails, will be great once they finish construction. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
Wonderful park. The only reason it didn't get a 10 was because a lot of the sites are not level in one branch. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The site we stayed at needed some repairs (the wood that held the elctrical service was rotting). There are many trails to hike, canoes to rent, a great bathhouse at the swimming area, lots of wildlife and plenty of space between campsites. We liked it so much that we are going back in a couple of weeks. Large park. make reservations in advance because it fills up on the weekends. We camped here in a Tent.

Most Texas state parks are in good shape and nice. This one is in need of repair. The sites are broken asphalt and very unlevel. They also are bordering on being too short for anything but pop ups and under 25'. Several trees need trimming hanging over road. Very crowded and there isn't any good place to park a rig while checking in. Staff is very friendly as are all the state parks. This one just needs to clean up. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
