Red Arroyo Campground

I had booked a non-electric primitive site with circular driveway online, for 7 days. Selected RV/motorhome from drop down menu. Was checked in by 2 employees on arrival, I was towing a car behind my motorhome. After 3 days, I was thrown out of my site by the park because they suddenly discovered that this was tent only site. Thus is not mentioned anywhere online. They would not even extend a courtesy of letting me stay in my reserved site for a couple of more days. One hour after I was told I must leave the site next day, while I was waiting on the decision if they would honor the reservation, but I got a call from threatening cop, who immediately proceeded to threaten me with tickets, court and charges. Hateful, abusive, shameful conduct. He told me to get out by 8.30am! And WALK 3 miles to campground office and ask for a different site! While entire situation was their fault. The park was mostly empty and there was no one in 2/3 of the sites. I was treated in truly inhuman way, older woman traveling alone, struggling with health issues, difficult towing, tired from crossing the country, they did not care the he wanted me to get out during freezing morning, while my RV was fully unpacked and setup and required extensive effort to pack it. I never been to these area, spent hours searching for an alternative accommodation.

I only stayed one night here as a stopover on a longer trip. Site 14 is a "lakefront site" but the lake is super low so the water was very far away. The driveway to the site slopes downward quite a bit and then flattens out which was fine for my small trailer but might be an issue for front-to-back leveling of a longer rig. The site has one large tree on the west side and a covered picnic table. Nice view of the sunset. Sites at the park are spaced out so your neighbors are not close by, but you can see all the nearby sites because there is no underbrush in this part of the park. The bathrooms are quite far away so either plan to bring a bike or drive to them (the bathroom on the way into the area was closed for renovations so I used the one further down the road). There was almost no one else at the park while I was there. The only thing I visited in the park was the wildlife blind which was very nice.

We stayed 2 nights here in early spring, oh man the wind!!! But other than that this is a very nice park. The staff was great and even called you at closing time to tell you about the gate and how to get in. The site was pristine and very spacious, they can take a small rig to a large rig. The trails are pretty well marked but would get a map. Great place to spend a couple of days. Very quite and peaceful.

This campground is located on O.C. Fisher Lake. Unfortunately because of lack of rain, the lake is now only about a third of it's original size. The boat ramp in the campground is now several hundred yards from water. The site we were on was considered lake view and on some older pictures the lake was directly behind this site; but now, although still in view, is more than 100 yards away. The site was easy to get in and out and it had a covered picnic table as well as a fire ring and a grill. Good place for an overnight stay.

This park has nice open, level sites with lots of separation between. Water, electric and Verizon cell/hot spot available. We also picked up some antenna channels. There is a state park pass required ($70 annual) for TX state park camping. We enjoyed walking around this park and visiting the area. There are long horn and buffalo herds in this park.
