Waco RV Park

Overview

We have new management! Please come and check it out! Call for availability at 254-447-3193.

Whether you want to visit the Magnolia Silos, Baylor University, or just enjoy a relaxed country setting, Waco RV Park is the place to stay. If you like large, beautiful shade trees and wide-open green space, you will love Waco RV Park. Cradled in its own pocket of natural Texas landscape, with Shaw Creek circling its border, it offers the rare combination of seclusion and convenience. We are a casual, inviting slice of nature all with full hookups for both 30 and 50 amps.

 From here it is only 8.8 miles and 13 minutes to the Magnolia Silos and downtown Waco; 7.3 miles and 8 minutes to McLane Stadium; and 7.9 miles and 10 minutes from Baylor University campus.

 The beautiful sunset you see is at Tradinghouse Creek Reservoir, less than 4 miles away. Check out their website here: http://tpwd.texas.gov/fishboat/fish/recreational/lakes/tradinghouse/

 Our guests enjoy a large, beautiful covered Pavilion with complimentary tables and chairs for individual relaxation or socializing with family and friends. The Pavilion is the perfect place for dinner or just forgetting the cares of the day. Our on-site laundry is available to our guests 24/7.

Our swimming pool is adjacent to the covered Pavilion so you can enjoy the water and have a shady place to rest when you get out. Our guests love it!

 We are a small family-owned park. We host daily, short-term and longer-term campers. We are not fancy and don’t have some of the amenities that the big parks have, but if you want to enjoy your time here, you will.

We are currently undergoing a significant management change. If you have any issues related to our former manager or communications with him, please call the number of the new manager below. His number is no longer in service.

 Our standard rates are: $35 daily; $225 weekly (7 nights); and $350 plus electricity (and additional refundable electricity deposit) The daily and weekly rates include electricity.

for monthly stays.  Rates may be slightly different depending on the number of campers or other circumstances at the time. Please contact us to confirm the rates.  We honor many discounts. Just ask.

Call us at 254 447 3193 for reservations or to inquire about availability.

You can email us at wacosbestrvpark@gmail.com, but calling us will usually produce a faster response. Booking through RoverPass is an easy option, although we may not be able to get back to you immediately late at night or in the wee hours of the morning.

 We look forward to seeing you!

This was a last-minute booking on a trip from Austin to Dallas for my sister and me. The park seems to be mostly long-term folks. The road could use a grading and fresh gravel as it is rutted and in some cases muddy. The pad was grass and a bit soft. It is winter, so we took that into consideration. We both agreed that with not too much investment it could be vastly improved. However, it was convenient to the road and Waco. I operate a small hotel, so I am all about the details.

Ms. Marsh, I believe this review is from you based on its timing, although for some strange reason there is no name attached to it. I am glad we were able to accommodate you and your sister at the last minute. I agree with some of your observations about the roads, and I am sorry if that was an inconvenience to you.While the road overall needs more gravel, we are glad that only a few places are muddy. Regardless, we will be regrading and adding base and gravel to the entire road when we catch a long enough break from the rain. We have had an unseasonably high amount of rainfall since October, and, due to the saturation of the soil, there is even some water still standing along highway 6 where you were traveling. We are a Mom and Pop park, and since Pop died last year, I am still trying to fill his shoes and see to the things he always took care of. I often fall short, but it is gradually getting better. I hope the next time you and your sister come through Waco you will stay with us again and see some much improved roads. Best wishes for you and your hotel. Margaret Wilson

I just want to say that I have stayed in multiple high end RV parks and several rough ones due to availability. Waco RV Park is your average every day stay. It isn't the largest, it doesn't have all of the amenities, but if you are looking for a clean park, good people next to you, a great Manager who works with people, like you are an actual human being and not a number, this is your place! I have stayed here for almost 6 months solid and the staff takes care of me and they listen to any problems you might have and they do have a pool! Small drive into Waco with a great country feel and small town sense of dealing business. As for the mud... every place has mud when you went through two weeks of torrential rains and flooding everywhere. I dealt with it but nothing horrible or any flooding and that's just mother nature! Take from a permanent resident at Waco RV Park... I love it here! -Chad

Chad, thank you for your kind review. We are very happy that you have chosen to stay with us on a monthly basis. If we did have permanent residents, we would certainly want you to be one of them, but just to be clear for those who sometimes ask, we cannot accept reservations for longer than a month's stay at a time.

Not sure what to call this place. But, to me, it is not a campground. It is a place to park RV's. But, it is very poorly maintained and occupied by long-term "campers" that really do not do a good job of maintaining any type of a good image for this place. The only two sites that were available to use to park in were so muddy I wouldn't park a barn cart in either one let alone a 5th wheel RV. We arrived, drove one lap around the "camp", called and requested a refund, left and went to The I-35 RV Park.

Jamey and Peggy, We are sorry we could not meet your expectations. We made sure you received a maximum refund from Rover Pass and even paid to refund the booking fee, which is not usually part of the refund. We wish you the best in your travels.

Lovely park....but I think we were the only ones not actually living there. Could have been a little cleaner however I understand that Mr. Wilson is ill. Hopefully his health will improve soon and he will be able to manage things on his own. Would we stay here again? Yes!

Babs, thank you for your kind review, as well as your concern for my husband. He is doing well now. Although we do have guests who have chosen to stay with us on a monthly basis, we also host many like you who stay a week or two, as well as those who are traveling and need a place for only a couple of nights. We value all of you, so we are adding more space and new sites. We would love to have you here again. Maybe by then we will have the new space finished !

This is a very nice and elegant park. I truly enjoyed the great open land to run around with my kids on. Throwing Frisbees and balls were the highlight of our evening (we are simple). The park itself was really nice and the staff was very friendly! The location is really great because if you are traveling in many different ways through Waco you can find this park. The price is perfect as it’s less than a lot of other parks I have been to recently. The utilities were clean and decently placed throughout the park. Overall it was a nice stay and worth checking out. - Review provided by RV Park Recommendations & Reviews Facebook Group

Sadie, please permit me to say a belated late thank you for your kind review of our park. I have never called it elegant, but we will surely accept the compliment !
