About Union Grove

Union Grove Park is located on the southwestern shore of Stillhouse Hollow Lake in central Texas. The lake offers a wide variety of recreation opportunities, including water sports, hiking, biking, horseback riding, picnicking, large group pavilions, hunting, fishing and simply enjoying the scenery. This facility has RV and tent camping sites with water and electric hookups available, as well as three screen shelters available for guests without camping equipment. The facility is one of only two reservable campgrounds on the lake. Stillhouse Hollow Lake was created by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers with the construction of Stillhouse Hollow Dam in 1968. The 6,430-acre lake is located 16 miles upstream of the confluence of the Lampasas and Leon Rivers, which flow into the Little River.

A delightful park that's so very close to home for us. Barbara and the rest of the gatehouse team are always welcoming and friendly, and the Recreation.gov reservation system is always so very easy to use. We were there this weekend with 3 other rigs from the local area, celebrating the fact that the other rig couples were actually married at our wedding chapel in Salado, Texas. The Chapel at Caliber Oak was the common bond between sites #2, #3, and #8 for two great nights. We're already booked for our next wonderful Union Grove adventure, and love the fact that we can enjoy both our boat and our RV in the same convenient place ! We just wish VA employees received a discount, since we use the park so frequently. Is there an annual purchase/senior citizen pass that we can get information about? Thanks in advance!

Went to kayak on the lake. Camp site was great. Able to launch right beside camp site. Wildlife was wondering through camp ground. Had a great time.

Nice clean park with space between units. Lake view is excellent. We are full timers and stay here several times a year when in the area.

As usual, our visit to Union Grove was outstanding. This trip, we were with 3 other rigs, and it was great! We have a wedding chapel in Salado, Texas, and were able to visit with 3 different brides and grooms during our stay. We are very excited about the large area of the park opening, but unfortunately, when we made our reservation for our next camping adventure, the re-opened sites were not on the online reservation system yet, so we were forced to make arrangements at Lake Brownwood State Park for our next trip instead. Our understanding is that this issue has been fixed, and I know that several of the other folks we normally camp with will be at Union Grove again, soon. Barbara is always a delight at the front office and so very helpful. Thank you for another great stay, and all the work that has been done to re-open the previously closed section!

Had a very good time at the park and campground. Check in was simple and easy, staff was great. We did have a broken spiggot on our water, we let the front staff know and it was fixed within 30 minutes. Outstanding service, clean, and safe park. Had a great time and would highly recommend.
