Texas Campground Fees, Hookups & Reservations
No fee data in the federal directory. We report the reservable-vs-first-come split by agency; nightly fees and hookup specifics live on each campground's Recreation.gov page. Federal coverage only.
Texas has 120 federal campgrounds managed by agencies including the U.S. Forest Service and Army Corps of Engineers. Of these, 113 campgrounds offer advance reservations through Recreation.gov, while 7 operate on a first-come, first-served basis. Reservable campgrounds allow visitors to book sites in advance, which is especially helpful during peak seasons, while first-come options provide flexibility for spontaneous trips.
Fees and RV hookup availability vary significantly across Texas federal campgrounds and must be verified on each facility's individual Recreation.gov page. The federal directory does not publish standardized fee schedules or hookup details, as these differ by location and site type. Visitors should check specific campground listings to confirm whether water, electric, or sewer connections are available and to review current pricing before making reservations or planning visits.
Where fees and hookups actually live
The federal directory tracks who manages a campground, how many sites it has and whether it's reservable — but not nightly fees or RV hookups, which differ site to site. For those, open the campground's Recreation.gov page, where current fees, hookup types and the reservation window are listed.
| Managing agency | Reservable | First-come |
|---|---|---|
| U.S. Army Corps of Engineers | 91 | 2 |
| National Park Service | 11 | 5 |
| U.S. Forest Service | 11 | 0 |
Common questions
Do Texas federal campgrounds have RV hookups?
Some do and some don't — hookup availability isn't in the federal directory data, so check each campground's Recreation.gov page for water, electric and sewer details.
How much does it cost to camp?
Fees vary by facility and aren't part of the federal export, so we don't quote a price. Each Recreation.gov facility page shows its current nightly fee.
