Dinosaur Valley RV Park

The park sits on a former hay field About 3 miles outside of the nice town of Glen Rose. It opened in February 2020 and there is still work to do but the owners have done a great job. Long and level sites, with FHUs, fire rings, and picnic tables. The store is well stocked and the pool and hot tub are very nice. The roads are crushed limestone and it can get dusty. We had ample AT&T and Verizon signals using our booster. The nights are dark and the skies are amazing. The park borders Dinosaur Valley SP and there is a connector trail to the SP’s miles of hiking trails and access to the preserved dinosaur footprints in the river bottom. Across the road is Dinosaur World (a tourist thing that is great tape kids). It’s about 25 minutes to Granbury and it’s great town square. We will definitely return.

The location couldn't be any better, towards the back of the RV park, there is the LIME STONE Trail that leads you right into the thick of dinosaur valley state park. The sites were very well maintained, the pool was awesome and my kids enjoyed it. Playgrounds, great little store, trash bins at every corner. Dinosaur theme park is right across the street. It was quiet, and a star gazers dream spot, galaxy clouds, I saw three planets simultaneously.

Newbie here, and this was only our second trip but the park was great. The kids had a blast with the pool and play ground. The park offers a trail that connects directly to Dinosaur Valley State Park, a great place to take the kids hiking in hunt of dinosaur tracks and a nice swim in the river. Lots to explore. The sites are gravel but pretty even and all have full hookups with picnic tables and fire rings. Dinosaur World is just across the street and we were also able to spend some time in the town of Glen Rose. There’s a small little old fashioned soda shop the kids really enjoyed. The stars at night were amazing. Definitely recommend.

When you first pull in and notice the lack of shade, you might be apprehensive. This is a new, family owned park, with newly planted young trees. However it is located near the banks of the Paluxie River - where there is a constant cool breeze. We stayed during a weekday and also the weekend. The owners planned activities during the weekend including a movie night, hay ride, pumpkin painting for kids, Kona Ice, and a S'mores evening. Wifi was excellent and the pool/hot tub was clean and refreshing. The onsite store has craft sodas from Dublin, TX and lots of yummy snacks. All sites are pull through, very level, and have new power, water, sewer hookups. You even have a private entrance to the nearby state park hiking system. Even though it filled up on the weekend, everyone was respectful of their neighbors. It was quite after 10pm. We would definitely stay here again.

Stayed here October 1, 2020. The park was clean. Not much shade as it is new, but the grass was growing in. Made good use of the fire pit. It's a short walk to the State Park and the river.

New campground with a few new trees that will take a long time to provide shade in this hot Texas campground.

All sites are pull through gravel sites, gets very muddy when it rains.

Very expensive for the area. Have a small pool, large one is being built.

There is 1 women's and 1 men's bathroom that is closed from 8pm to 9am. It is bad enough that this park is so expensive but to close the services, which you are paying for, is not acceptable.

We stay in Glen Rose a lot, would not recommend this campground. Would recommend Oakdale for a better priced campground, great location, and access to the facilities 24 hrs a day.

Great RV park, super clean, staff was very friendly and accommodating. Lots of amenities such as a huge family pool, great little store, playground and dog parks. We stayed a Sun-Sun, pretty empty during the week as expected. Nice pull through sites, they were huge and had a ton of open space at the spot. We had a big grass area for our spot next to the RV.

AT&T - two bars, Verizon - 2-3 bars with decent service. Wifi was average.

Only negatives were they didn't have the laundry facility completed yet (no biggie, went into town), and there wasn't any shade (expected, as the place is pretty new).

Super close to the Dinosaur Valley State park, and right across from Dinosaur World. Would definitely stay here again for the price.

No noise at night, super dark (great stargazing).

We live close and have always stayed in the park and kinda snubbed our nose at the people who were here. Well don't knock it til you try it. We went because the State Park had no availability and were surprised at the amount of activities that this park has. Also it has river access and we ventured down there after setting up the RV and watched the sun go down until the frogs started to sing to us. Then when we went up there was a great band playing. Kids loved the park. Next day went into the park and played in the river again. One thing that really stood out to me was that this park was so clean and no bugs. We are used to the 100s of flys at the State Park camping sites. Will definitely make this our new weekend getaway spot because you get the best of all worlds.

We stayed here Presidents’ Day weekend 2022. It was pretty full. Lots of families and kids running around having fun on bikes and scooters. Felt very safe didn’t have to lock everything down. Full hookups, level side to side, pea gravel, no trees, decent internet, decent cell signal, good water pressure, small dumpsters thoughtfully located around the park. Nice little dog park and playground. River access by hiking and state park entrance by hiking pay by QR code. Wildlife nearby we saw about six whitetail deer in the nearby field. Lots of sites big and small. We happen to see a lot of small retro campers there. There are cabins rentals and the pool facilities looked nice although it was too cold for us to use. The laundry facilities were not done yet when we stayed. Also it looks like they are adding amenities like a small cafe or bar and grill.

Dinosaur Valley RV Park is the best of all worlds. Run by Mark and Tina, alongside a friendly crew of very professional folks, this park is a hidden gem just outside Glen Rose, Texas. Family-friendly, dog-friendly, quiet, scenic, and just far enough off the beaten path to shake the city off your feet, it has everything you want in an RV park. The 40+ RV spots are level gravel (with concrete hidden under peat rock), come with full-service hooks ups (sewer, water, and stable 30/50 power), good Wi-Fi, and close reach to Cell Towers (Verizon & AT&T), each has their own grass area, picnic area, and firepit set up, and are ALL pull-thru for easy arrival and departure. Wide roads allow you to tow in just about any sized rig with plenty of room to park your tow vehicle at your stop. First, this is the perfect place to take your kids or grandkids. It includes a full-sized kids pool, Paluxy River access, a small BMX track, and the Dinosaur World museum and playground right next door. Additionally, the Dinosaur Valley State Park (DVSP) is right next door. Although they charge $7.00 for a day pass, the park borders the RV park and has a driving, biking, and hiking access (with a pass). See real dinosaur footprints that are still visible in the river-side rock or bring your fishing rod and try to catch a fish. Meanwhile, if you're a mountain biker (like me), DVSP has a roughly 15-mile well-marked, single-track and fire road, trail network that includes both easy and medium difficulty areas. Rock drops mixed with smooth dirt lines and challenging climbs make this a great place to lose yourself for an hour or two. A few of the trails are hiking-only but there is a big enough network to never have to ride the same trail twice. I think DVSP is one of the top 10 mountain biking trails in Texas and a must-ride location if you're passing through. Plus, most trail intersections include posted trail maps in case you get turned around. But wait! There's more! Dinosaur Valley RV Park includes a new coin-operated air-conditioned laundry room, 4 x bathroom bath house, and adults-only pool complete with a hot tub, and a trading post for odds and ins. For the kids, the park just added an animal farm that includes horses, cows, and goats (all shy but very friendly) and a real pioneer fort (still under construction). Don't have an RV? No problem! Dinosaur Valley RV Park has 4-5 cabins you can rent too. It really has everything you need to enjoy Texas outdoors with your family. All in all, Dinosaur Valley RV Park is a dreamland for any RV camper who is into hiking or mountain biking and the perfect setting for kids to get away from their screens and get some dirt on their feet. I would recommend this park over any RV park within 50 miles hands down. If you are looking for a great place outside of the Dallas/Fort Worth area (only 60-minutes away) consider Dinosaur Valley RV Park. You will enjoy every minute of it!
