Our review on Campground Reviews:
Nice golf course view
This was a well-maintained campground in a nice state park with a 9-hole golf course. We were in the full-hookup loop with a terrific view over the course and really enjoyed a nice, quiet stay. Our site was a bit unlevel front-to-back, but we got it level with a couple of extra blocks under the front levelers. The site was huge, with a nice covered picnic table and shade trees at the front, but with a good clear view of the sky at the back for the Starlink. We camped at Lockhart State Park in a Motorhome.

Our site:
Lockhart is the “BBQ capital of Texas”, so of course each site has a smoker:
The utilities were conveniently positioned:
Cellular service was limited, so we broke out the Starlink Dishy again; it had an unobstructed view of the sky:
We also used our griddle, and ate several meals outside:
You may think “duh, don’t you always?” No, we don’t always use the griddle or eat outside, depending on the weather and other factors. We’re not camping, this is our life. We have a good kitchen and comfy dining table inside, sometimes that’s just easier. Similarly, almost all campsites come with a picnic table; this one has a nice shelter over it. But we hardly ever use them; our folding chairs and table are more comfortable.

Almost full moon above our coach:
I spent several days working outside; here I have a second screen magnetically mounted on my laptop:
Our last flower of the season on our Christmas cactus:
Another griddle dinner, with all sites occupied for the weekend:

One of the campers had what we assume is a catio — an outdoor run for a cat (or maybe another small animal):

We do enjoy state parks. We’d be happy to come back here again.
