Fort Parker

Friendly park rangers who were always a call away. The park itself had wonderful trails and hikes. The sheltered area we stayed at was clean and well kept. The restrooms and shower areas were clean and taken cared of daily. The only thing that was a bummer was having all the piers closed but they did have it disclosed on their website.

We are doing the great State Park challenge! So far, we have visited 4 out of 89- and Fort Parker was top tier as far as trails, history and water recreation goes. So many great adventures await you at this non assuming, small town State Park. Highly recommend planning a day or even a weekend and going! 🏞🥾🐟🕊

A beautiful campground! Be sure to drive down to the kayaking/fishing/primitive camp area on the far side of the lake to the Navasota River. Stunning! Beautiful sunsets over the lake. Frog chorus at night. White and great blue herons in abundance on the lake. We stayed here 3 nights in late-August, very few others camping.

🌳 A Beautiful and Family-Friendly Getaway at Fort Parker State Park 🌳 We had such a great family weekend at Fort Parker State Park! From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel completely welcome — super friendly and helpful, which really set the tone for our stay. We were lucky to stay in Shelter 8, and it couldn’t have been a better spot. Clean, comfortable, and just a short walk to some absolutely stunning lake views. Seriously, waking up and seeing that calm, scenic water in the morning made the whole trip feel extra peaceful. It’s the kind of view you can just sit and stare at for hours. The park itself was beautiful — lots of open space, quiet trails, and plenty of spots for the kids (and adults) to explore. We spent our days hiking, fishing, and just soaking in nature. It’s the perfect place for a low-key, family-friendly camping trip where you can truly relax and unplug. The only downside? There’s just one shower for the whole campground. Not a dealbreaker by any means, but it’s good to plan ahead if you’re visiting during a busy weekend. Overall, Fort Parker State Park gave us everything we were hoping for — gorgeous views, friendly people, and a lot of great family memories. We can’t wait to come back!

Beautiful sites right on the lake. Was perfect for my 22 foot RV. However, any longer and I feel it would be very difficult to navigate in and out of RV area. (Though it can be done) There is only one road that leads down to a turn around that feels pretty tight. Water and electrical hook ups are available. Very peaceful area to get away and close enough to town to get food and supplies if needed. Good shade provided by the trees. Seems to be well maintained when I was there as far as mowed grass area. Some of picnic tables provided need to be updated due to appearing to be falling apart. Play ground for the kids is within a short walk from sites. Definitely recommend.
