This place has a nice layout with 6 site circles. There is 50 amp electric which is real nice, and covered picnic tables. There is not a lot of shade as the main trees are Mesquite which are really large bushes. It is a long way for a significant grocery store or Walmart. There is a large area for boaters to park their boat trailers. They have 2 lighted fishing piers. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This is a really lovely park, the most "park like" I've been in with lots of grass and trees. Spacious sites, I have #16 with afternoon shade; 15 next to me has a decorative concrete garden table and benches. There's a good-size dog area with "hydrants" but lots of other walking area as well, along a small lake and the river. I also had a bit of trouble finding the park, the highway running through town is marked with several route numbers which can be confusing for someone new to the area. What I did, and my suggestion is, to go to the Texas Tourist Info place at the NW end of the highway as you go through town. They will give you a city map and mark the route to the campground for you. From there I easily got back on the highway, off at exit 1A, right at the light and down the road a couple of miles. this is one of the nicest parks I've stayed at and I highly recommend it. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Nice, clean, quiet. Probably nicer in summer when greenery fills in. Set back off the highway far enough to abate the noise. Good cable, No WiFi. Helpful Manager spent much time directing me to an honest tire and alignment shop. We camped here in a Motorhome.
I read the previous reviews. The person that could not find the campground had to have a problem. It is on US 277 or 5th Street. I had no problem finding it. There are even signs pointing to CAMPGROUND. Chris and Stu work the desk. Chris is a nice lady, very easy to get along with. Stu is what I would call an old farmer. He has the old worn face and the attitude that a lot of people might not like. If you had to answer some of the dumb questions he is asked, he would hand you your SIGN.. The restrooms are the cleanest I have ever seen in any campground. The campsites are a bit unorthodox. We got there late, after 6pm with no reservation and they put us in a site and said come see us in the morning. They have sites for persons that stay a week or more and sites for those that were in and out. They also will accept mail for those that stay a week or more. We are Fulltime and that is a good bonus for us. We have a large dog and you should see their dog area. It is unique and pretty large. I wish they had a fence around the dog area and a trash can to dispose of the droppings so you did not have to walk to the dumpster. If we get back to Wichita Falls we will stay a week with Chris and Stu. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
If this is your last resort let me recommend one of the fine parks in Amarillo, or maybe Oklahoma City. First of all my wife called for directions, (uh, I'm not from here), after rambling around the bowles of WF, we finally found the place, the Manager, (picture Walter Matthaeu in Grumpy Old Men), let us know we were imposing on his time, real quick, then assigned me a site that was so tight I couldn't make the turn with my toad. While we were in the Office of the Wichita Chapter of the David Allen Coe fan club circled the rig, after that Mayberry moment and not making the landing after two approaches I gave up. Fortunately I got a refund. Ending up staying in the city park, half the price, great river view, like a park. There is a suspension bridge in to Lucy Park, also a city park. If the Holler in Taladega is your cup of tea you'll be happy here, other wise "DRIVE ON BY" We camped here in a Motorhome.
This park is very nice. I loved everything about my stay with the exception of no Wi-Fi. That really bummed me out... Nice pool, clean facilities, speed bumps, place to walk the dog and play. We camped here in a Motorhome.
The park was easy to get in and out with any size rig. The management were some of the rudest people we ever met. They do not like children to play in pool always getting on to them. We did not even have children there. Just watching. It started raining a lot while we were there. The management left and the park flooded. They did not warn anyone. Everyone was abandoned by management. That was a horrible day for all of us left there. Heard management was allowed to come back to work! We would never go back as long as they (current management) are there. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Nice clean park for an overnight stay. The sites were level and the park is very clean. Fairly quiet. We would stay here again if passing through the area. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We used this campground as a stopover. It was clean and the staff was very helpful and directed us to family friendly local attractions and a great restaurant. They have the cutest pet area with colorful fire hydrants. We camped here with small children. We would camp here again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
I had a brand new RV and this was the first RV Park I ever stayed at. I was to be there for 3 months while working in the area. I had been there two weeks when my RV was burglarized. A police report is on file. It was damaged and items stolen while I was not there. I also had a strange knock at the door one night with a male voice looking for someone. The park is located in an area of town near Lucy Park, a fairly high crime rate area . There is an ambulance depot a few blocks west of there and I was awakened many times during the night with sirens blaring. The management at the park was very uncaring and unconcerned for my losses. They did move me to an area by the office but I never felt safe there after that. I was told that they had never had a burglary there in 11 years. I do not have a grudge against this park, but I would recommend that you be careful if staying there. I will never stay there again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Very nice pool that closed at 8:00pm. Way too early in the summer. Restrooms were immaculate single use rooms. You had the whole restroom to yourself. Included rest facility and shower. Nice flat sites that were easy to get into. We were only there for the night. We did not get an opportunity to use any other amenities. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Nothing for kids to do. No playground. Plenty of bright colored fire hydrant if your a dog owner. guess dog are more important than kids. Won't return! We camped here in a Motorhome.
Easy to navigate and easy to find. Just be sure to use the US 277 business exit when coming from the south. Sites were level, staff was friendly. There are many permanents, but they occupy the far side of the park and the rigs were well maintained and so were the grounds around them. This is a good park to use when in this area. For those with friends or family in the military (Sheppard AFB) this would serve you well. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We have been staying here for years. It's our stop over park for when we go to the Dallas area. The staff are outstanding. The sites are big & level. A little road noise because of a hospital down the street but not bad. There are eating places down the street. I would of rated them higher but, no WiFi. We always enjoy our stop over here & we will be back soon. (baseball season is coming up) We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Older park, but lots of room. Big Rig friendly with trees not a problem. Be sure to take 207 Business to get to park, not 207! Big Rigs Book messed that one up. Sites are unkempt gravel and uneven grass, but OK. Had to move once because 50 amp service wouldn't work in my first site. Ok overnight stop. Apparently this town is in the middle of "Tornado Alley", so take heed in Spring. We stayed in Oct. '04 with 42' motor home and towed car. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is an excellent overnight park especially for $10. The park is clean and well kept. A number of other RVers pulled in shortly after our arrival so it was well populated. Just across a suspension footbridge is a large, beautiful park - Lucy Park. It has wonderful paved walking paths with numerous benches and "porch" swings to sit and enjoy the scenery. Would definitely stay here again if passing through. Did encounter a couple of beggars - one claiming to be a Katrina victim. Left shortly after our arrival so they did not pose a problem. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Paved sites and city operated. Located right on the river with a foot bridge to Lucy Park (large park with pool , activity bldg. and miles of walking paths). No bath house or office but it does have a dump station. You sign yourself in and drop the check in the slot. Just about a perfect overnight (limit is 3 nights) while on the road. Appears clean, neat and safe - Texas Tourism Bureau is right next door. Congratulation Wichita Falls on a great little RV park! Too bad there aren't more decent overnights for $10. We camped here in a Motorhome.
