We enjoyed our stay. Our access to river from campsite #7 was excellent for kayaking. Park was clean and attendants were very friendly! We will definitely be coming back soon!

The entire visit was such a treat. The ranger on-staff took great care of us, all amenities were clean (restrooms & shower facilities were cleanest I've ever seen at a park). Nicely spaced out tent ⛺ camping spots with covered cement table/benches, fire rings, & water spigot. It was such a relaxing, beautiful trip with my partner & dog. Everyone around us were so neighborly, all dogs were on leashes, it was an all-around good vibe. If you forget something, Kopperl has the basics at local food stores, but for full grocery, stop at Cleburne/Whitney. We went to the Brookshires in Whitney, it was well-stocked. This entire trip was beautiful; clear skies at night revealed a dark blanket sky that had bright shining constellations not normally visible from DFW. There is obvious light pollution from the North, as to be expected. Be prepared to be serenaded by crickets, frogs, ducks, geese, owls, other wild birds, coyotes, etc. as you fall asleep. Just about 1.5hr from Dallas to the Southwest, this made for an incredible weekend escape.

Great campground on the Brazos river with great camp host.
The campground is well maintained except for the dump station area. The hose bib needs to changed. It leaks at the threads, no mater how tight you screw on your water hose. Water stands everywhere around the hose bib. There are also holes in the driveway that need to be filled with gravel, also hold water. You will get mud on your tow vehicle and rv when leaving the dump station. I have reported these problems several times to the Recreation. gov maintenance dept and to the camp host over the last several months and nothing has changed.

Plowman Creek Campground is a small cozy RV campground. It is right on Lake Whitney where the Brazos River comes into the lake. I really enjoyed launch from the bank and paddling my kayak around the nearby bays and coming back to camp.

The camp had a nice layout and the staff was friendly and helpful. I was in an RV so I didn't use restrooms or showers.

I went there specifically for kayaking, fishing and camping. The upper section of the Brazos is such a beautiful river.
