Nice state park with huge gravel pad and lots of grass. Covered picnic table. Good park for birding, nice lake. Nearest town and services are about 15 miles away, so stock up beforehand. We would return. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
The nightly rate does not include the $3 per person park entrance fee. There is a separate tent section and two RV sections (also a section with little cabins). This is a lovely campground with nice-sized lots...not all crammed together. There are no pull-thru lots but the back-ins are "do-able". There is no camping at the South Shore as of this date although there may have been in the past. Gravel sites, grass yards. 30 and 50 amps are available. Be aware that there are no "walk-ins" as there are in many state parks. We didn't know this and had planned on staying a week, but found out all the RV sites are reserved for the coming weekend so we will move on. One thing I didn't like was that you have to drive through the campground first (4 miles from the office) and pick out 3 sites you like. Then you have to drive back to the office and they will let you know of their availability. I guess this is because of reservations. This is a bit of a bother...but it did allow us the chance to pick out what I think was the nicest site there! Fishing is reportedly great but watch out for the alligators! Lots of different birds, deer, raccoons, etc. Just a very nice peaceful campground. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Three Rivers is about 12,000 people, but this is for sure in the country. Great fishing and hunting, we were here visiting family and we are for sure out of the hustle of life out here. Nice park, limited shade, just due to being in West Texas, not many trees out here. Nolan Ryan's Waterfront restaurant is just down the Highway as well as some great Mexican food in Three Rivers. Overall, this is a great park for the hunter or fisherman, or just wanting to escape for a few days. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We camped here on Memorial Day weekend. It was not crowded. Very clean, shady park. Had water and electric and was only $12.00 a night. Fishing nearby on the river. We camped here in a Motorhome.
