We stayed here- the Concho Valley KOA- Dec. 24-26. We found the staff helpful and friendly. Our gravel site was level- we didn't have to level our RV. The Wi-Fi was good as was the cable. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This KOA is a major disappointment! It is actually nothing more than a gravel parking lot with a few trees thrown in. The staff isn't the greatest. We decided since we were just passing thru, we would use their cable TV - but it was mostly fuzz. When we mentioned it to the host, he said, 'oh, others have complained about the low end channels'. We told him that all of the channels were fuzzy & not viewable so we ended up using our satellite. I was also extremely disappointed in the pool - if someone were to drown in it - it be hard to see them & it's a SHALLOW pool. The pool is nothing short of nasty. The floor of the pool looked blackish gray & moldy & the water was dark & foggy! Also, an airfield is somewhere in the area & we sometimes heard planes coming & going - but this is something the park naturally can not help; other then the planes, the campground is quiet. This park has the potential to be really nice but in it's current state it leaves a lot of be desired! TLC is definitely needed! We WON'T be back! We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Great site and great customer service. Cable was stated available but was no cable plug at our site. Will camp here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We stayed here 2 nights. The park was well maintained with large easily accessible sites. The hosts were friendly and helpful. The host, Tracee, was a true example of how a host should be. The location was just far out of town to be quiet and peaceful, yet close enough for seeing the sites of the city without much driving. We would definitely recommend this KOA Kampground. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This KOA provided us with our worst experience ever with a KOA campground! It's also the only time that we called KOA's national office for assistance! We made reservations 6 weeks early to stay at this particular park & also put in a request that our friends (who also RV) would be parked next to us. We were assured that we would have no problems with this request. I gave my credit card number to hold our site, as did our friends. Upon arrival, we were met by a husband & wife team who were very RUDE desk clerks. They seemed uneducated & unclean. The woman became incensed & angry when I tried to pay for our site with my debit card. She began arguing with me about why I couldn't pay with the credit card that I had held our site with. I explained to her that that shouldn't matter. (KOA - home office agreed with me). Finally, she gave us our site after she verbally berated us & treated us very nasty. We remained nice to her, but to no avail. When our friends then tried to get their site, they were placed clear across the park. When they stated that we had 6 weeks earlier reserved a site next to us, the woman's husband, loudly told us to leave the park & to leave then. The park was only 1/3 full & we had empty spots all around us & next to us where our friends could have stayed. At that point, I called the home office of KOA & was talking to them about the situation when another park worker arrived. He apologized for the situation & told us that it was fine if we parked our rigs next to each other & that if we had any other problems to bring them to his attention. We went ahead & stayed for a couple of days but we were stayed away from the hateful couple. The only redeeming feature of this park was their pool - but beware . . . while I was swimming, I noticed a couple of male park workers intensely watching me & it made me uncomfortable. There are NO other amenities! The park actually looks like a parking lot with gravel, no trees. Would we stay here again? NEVER! There are many other nice RV parks around the area. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

I agree that this park isn’t a resort destination, but it doesn’t pretend to be. At $22 (gold card discount, tax included) it’s a great deal for those just passing through. My site was a huge side-by-side with no neighbor. It was nicely leveled gravel and with great cable TV and pretty good WiFi. The only negative on the whole experience was the pay phone which didn’t work (we had no problems elsewhere in our three weeks in Texas, so it’s probably not us.) Staff was very friendly and helpful and the store was reasonably well-stocked. Bathhouse was spotless, but the ladies’ had very little hot water in any of the shower stalls. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Another KOA that has seen it's better days! Pretty much a gravel parking lot with small sites that are too close together. We could literally pass a supper plate out our slide window to the RV next to us! Side-by-side sites. Fortunately the neighbors were of good humor as well! Had to keep the shades down 24x7. Sites are not level, roads fairly well kept. No hint of landscaping. Far enough off the road that the traffic noise isn't that bad, and convenient to shopping. Staff was pretty indifferent and didn't seem intelligent. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

If a 5 means average thats just what this place is. Not clean not dirty, not spacious not cramped. Good for an overnight. If I had to stay for a week I would look for somewhere else. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Update on my review written in July 2008 and deals strictly with the South Shore park - North Shore park is approx 8 miles north on FM2288 near US-87 and rates a separate review (IMO). Nightly rate does not include $3 per person, per day, day use fee (Buy a TX Parks Pass!). Friendly staff, asphalt roads, level back-ins and pull thrus; water and electric on the side or near the rear depending on your site. Over the air HDTV reception gives three local channels and two channels from Abilene. Weather radio and cell reception are excellent. Free wi-fi hotspots are available in town at the library, coffee shops, restaurants, etc. Numerous trails in the park for hiking or biking, lots of birds and wildlife. Not many trees are in the camping areas; i.e, not much shade is available, and it gets HOT during the Spring and Summer. Lake level continues to fall and as of this writing, the lake is at 5% capacity. You can fish and kayak but the lake is not as large as it looks on a map. If you plan any water activities, I strongly suggest you call the park beforehand. Nights are fairly quiet. The park is very convenient to shopping, restaurants, fuel, propane, etc. I suggest you read the reviews of the other camping options in San Angelo and you will see why this park is the best of the bunch. Definitely recommend as a place to stay for a night, week or longer. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

The rate includes $18 for the campsite plus $6 day-use fee for 2 people. We do not have an annual park pass. With a park pass, the day-use fee is waived. The staff recommended the south section for long, spacious, pull-through sites. A reservation was not necessary during this time of the year; there were many sites to choose from. Verizon extended service was okay for cell and fair for the air card. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a former Corp park. It’s spread out over 15 miles with multiple sections with a total of about 125 sites, tents included. I am only reviewing about 40 sites near the south entrance. Those sites are long, level, and wide with picnic shelters and grills. Water and electric was good. Bath houses have some age but are clean and well maintained. No laundry. As previously mentioned in other reviews, the bath houses, playground, and dumpsters are not in close proximity to most sites. The lake level is still low. Boat ramps are unusable, but Texas State Parks allow free fishing if you are camping in them. Access roads are easy in and out. Park is about 3 miles from shopping and major highways which makes for good RON or extended stay. Posted rate does not include a $3/person/day extra charge. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Update on a prior review made earlier this year. Nightly rate based on extended stay (normal nightly rate is $18 plus day use fee). We stayed from 10 July through the end of Sept. Park offers lots of birding opportunities as well as hiking and biking. Not much shade which is a factor in the summer heat! Not very crowded so if you want peace and quiet, this is the place. Be warned - lake is at 6% capacity so if you plan to come here for water activities, I suggest you look elsewhere or call the office first to get the current lake level. The lake is very small compared to what it looks like on a map. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

As with much of West Texas, this park has little shade. However, the sites are still nice. We stayed in the South Campground, and it is the more developed one of the two. We tried to find a site in the North Campground first, but none of them had fire rings (as far as we could see), only charcoal grills. We wanted to have a ground fire so we headed to the South Campground. There are only a few sites there that provide nice shade (to sit under, the camper is still in the sun). Sites 33, 37, 38, and 40 were the best mostly due to shade and seclusion. The lake is almost always low, which makes the boat ramps unusuable. However, there is good shore access for fishing. I suppose you could swim, but there really are no good swimming areas. The hiking trail is nice and a tad rugged. Horses frequent it. The cabins looked small and overpriced, but we didn't stay in them. I've seen nicer restrooms and showers, but they were generally clean and well maintained. There is a nice little gopher park where you can see a city of gophers running from hole to hole. The kids liked that. Overall this is a nice park, but apart from some hiking, there's not much to do. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

We stayed on the south shore, there was lots of space between sites. The bath house is also far away, so we didn't use it. Some shade trees, but in early March, no leaves! There are some good hikes and trails for mountain biking. New Wal-Mart nearby, also shopping and restaurants. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Suggest purchase of annual parks pass if you plan on spending any amount of time at a Texas state park. Otherwise you will pay $3 per person per night (at this park, others charge different)- annual pass is $60 and you get some camping discount coupons. Lake is at 9% capacity at South Park; North Park has no lake level. LOTS of trails to explore/bike/horseback ride. Staff very friendly and helpful. Recommend you check with park before arrival as park closes for hunting during certain times of the year. Have always had plenty of choices for sites though! We camped here in a Motorhome.

Nice clean park with large sites and lots of space between each campsite. Campsites are somewhat level, and most didn't find it two hard to level out. People are friendly at the park, and it is close to the city for those who wish to venture in. The city is about 5 minutes away, and it has the amenities of a large city. The lake is generally only 7-11% of capacity (5200 acres is designated for the reservoir). There are not many shaded sites at the south shore entrance. Most of the shaded sites are at the north shore entrance, so if you go during the summer look at the north shore area. These two entrances are about 10 miles apart, and the drawback to north shore is no lake view, but then again; there isn't much of a lake to view. Overall, it is a nice country setting to relax in. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We camped in the northern campgrounds (Eagle's Pass) because the Trailer Life directory said it was cheaper than the southern campground (they lied). The rate I quoted (approximate, from memory) includes their "per-person park entry fee." I was pleasantly surprised to find 50A service at a state park. The gate attendant was very helpful in steering us to the perfect spot (and later, told us some fine stories, plus where to get the best BBQ in town). The imported prairie dog town was a nice touch (my dog sure appreciated it). Long walk to the toilet/showers but pleasant with a full moon. Nice quiet campground, too. I will definitely stay there again if I am in San Angelo. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

South Shore entrance to park yields wide open spaces between campsites. There is also a resident herd of bison inside a fenced area. The North Shore entrance is in a river bottom with hugh pecan trees providing many shady sites. 50 amp service is available. There is one section for equestrian users with corrals and many trails available for riders. The trails are avaiable for hikers and bicycles as well. As with other state parks in Texas, dump stations are available in the different campgrounds, and no firewood can be picked up inside the park. We camped here in a Motorhome.

A typically state park run campsite. If you are looking for isolation with camp spaces really spread out, this is it. You will like having a lot of real estate between sites. No or little shade but great vistas of rolling prarie hills and an almost empty lake bed. Very close to city with ammenities. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Let me start by saying that the lady at the office was extremely friendly. We found this out because we were in the office changing sites 2 times before we finally found one that would accommodate our toy hauler. The tree limbs are extremely low hanging, and the park has trees in places that make navigation difficult at best. There were a couple of rain showers during our 2 night stay, and the park roads and sites became a caliche and muddy mess. Location on the lake was nice, and the park-like setting was beautiful. We saw deer and turkeys in the park at dusk. Park offers a Good Sam discount, but only if you call for reservations. They would let us take the discount because we made our reservations online through their own website. Because of the difficulty navigating the park, I doubt we will stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We have stayed here at least twice a year for the past 7 years. We have always enjoyed our stay, and would always recommend it until now. I arrived at the park at 1:00 PM and went to check in. An employee told me that check in was 2:00 and I would be charged a $2 early arrival fee. I told her I'd wait and check in at 2, and went back outside. This was the first time this had ever happened. I walked down to look at the sites, and they were less than 1/2 full. I went back in at 2:00 to check in, and asked why she had wanted to charge me an early fee when the park was so empty, including the space she was sending me to. All she said was that those were the rules. She then proceeded to give me a coupon for 20% off of my next stay. It's a nice park, but I won't stay again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We were here for 2 nights; office staff was friendly and penciled us in for a 3rd night if we decided to stay. We left after 2 with no penalty. Nice place on a lake. You drive through what seems to be a city park to get to the RV park. There were people camping in it outside the campground. The RV Park had good gravel interior roads and sites and nice large trees. It was quiet when we were there. We saw wild turkey and deer as we drove in each night of our stay. The place completely filled up for the weekend. The one restroom available for us required a key to enter with, which we liked. The restroom seemed to be a city park restroom converted for all purpose. A single room had one toilet, sink and shower all. The room had cobwebs and some bugs both alive and dead as well as a few leaves and dirt around the bench. Just didn't get cleaned thoroughly. It also didn't have soap although there was toilet paper and cloth hand towels on an old fashioned roll. The shower itself was pretty clean though. There were windows propped open with coke cans so at night you would worry about privacy even though they were high windows. Everything else worked properly. They have a fairly well stocked store up at the office. We would return here. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This is a very nice park but the rate was higher than we are accustomed to paying. The section we were in has good separation between spaces with good grass. The one disappointment (beside the price) is that the Wi-Fi is new and not at all reliable. Out of four days here, I probably had internet connection only about two hours total. Fortunately, there is a Hastings Book Store close that had excellent Wi-Fi. The management was friendly and helpful. I would probably rate the park a nine had the Wi-Fi been better. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

The owners were helpful and nice...a nice place to stay if you like fishing or water sports..the park was clean, and the wi-fi worked great (it is free) will stay here again... We camped here in a Motorhome.

We spent 4 nights. Park is clean - sites were adequately spaced - and except for the weather, we enjoyed ourselves. It is a private park and located within a city/state park. WIFI was limited, but the owners were very helpful. The towers are not located in areas that they are over the RVs but on the same level. The laundry room needs improvement. While they have some new equipment, some of the other pieces were rusty or not in working order. We would return to this park and find another location to do our laundry. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

The sites are very close together. Bathrooms were extremely hot. The managers were polite and pleasant to work with. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We have stayed in this park numerous times all during the year and have always had a very positive experience. The owners are extremely friendly and helpful with everything but are not afraid to keep unruly campers or children under control. The boat traffic is more in the summer but not unbearable at all. Wonderful roads to take walks on and see deer, turkey etc. Really nice park. Highly recommend,. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Great park located right on the water. It has beautiful views of the surrounding "buttes" and Lake Nasworthy. We have camped there in the summer and winter and have found the park always clean and the staff very helpful. We will always try to get reservations whenever our travels take us that way. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This park is a "Good Sam" park - but I don't support that rating by any means? It is, however, a lovely place, right on the lake with huge shade trees. Roads are in poor shape and have a lot of pot holes full of water and mud. In the winter time when it's too cold for water sports it's a super place to stay! In the summer when water sports are going on it's a nightmare!!!!!! Wild, unsavory folks. I observed theft from an RV and boat - reported it and no one cared! Lots of noise all through the night. Tent camping right next to RV camping. If you enjoy the crowds and loud noise and activity - stay here. If you want a quite get away - stay away in the summer! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Nice level, very wide, pull thru sites. Had a site directly across the park road from the lake. Spent 4 days there. It was very quiet during the week and even the weekend was fairly quiet because, although it is located in a public park, only campers are allowed in the camping area (although I saw several fishermen who weren't campers). The office has a small store with essentials and bait. Management was very friendly. There is a small boat dock nearby and canoe rentals. The park is located on a Lake Nasworthy so there is boat traffic, but the no-wake zone starts right at the park. Shopping is about 10 minutes away. This is a good place from which to see San Angelo. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
