Our review on Campground Reviews:

Peaceful state park

We stayed for five nights in the horseshoe full hookup campground and really liked it. We were originally going to stay longer but adjusted our travel plans to avoid the ice storm that blew through the area in February. Stupid storm, I would have loved to stay here longer. Our site was a decent size pull-through with plenty of room for our 40′ motorhome and tow vehicle. The width of the site was incredibly large with a fire ring and concrete picnic table all nestled under mature trees with a view across a large grassland area. We camped at Lake Whitney State Park in a Motorhome.

Tip for Other Campers: About an hour’s drive to Waco to visit the Dr Pepper Museum and Waco Mammoth National Monument, both worth the trip.

The utilities were not very conveniently located, at the front of site:

The sewer was unthreaded, but someone had helpfully left a bungee there, which I used to secure the pipe:

A look at the utilities from the rear; the power cord was pretty much fully unwound:

Unwound power reel; unusual to need the full length of the cord:
