Confirmed by 2 users | Last reported on March 29, 2020High winds forced me off I-10 with no place to go. Found this county park and stayed the night for free. I was the only one there. Yes of course you can hear I-10, it’s very close. Boondocking only.

A nice place to stay for a couple nights to get off the road. Staff very nice and helpful. City of Vidor on Main Street has most everything you’ll need gas, ace, Walmart, market, fast food and other places to eat. The gate is closed at 5 pm but if staying we still have in/out access. Call the number if your coming in, they just asked for a name and number. No other campers the 2 nights I stayed. Enjoyable
Only noise you get is off the 10

Stayed here 6 January 2020. You're supposed to register but the office was closed so I stayed without getting a permit. It was very quiet except for the noise that I was making working on cutting metal for my roof rack. Park personnel did not complain, and they were quite friendly to talk with. They advised that next time I should stay at the back of the park, as that is the overnight camping area (not where I had parked.) I checked out that area and it is rather "moist".
All in all, a very nice park, free, without amenities. Highly recommend and I would stay here again.

I contacted the park office several days in advance, then changed my arrival date a few days later. My initial call was returned right away but as the week progressed and the COVID-19 issues increased, the office was closed. I showed up late Friday afternoon and found the park open but the office closed. I checked the park map and found the designated camping area. This area is actually walk-in primitive tent camping in the trees on the far north side of the park. I wasn't sure where to go but found a truck camper in RV Site #2 (back-in) on the park road close to the interstate (south of the baseball diamond). They said they had just showed up and the groundkeeper showed them the spot. I found the same groundkeeper who was out changing trash can liners. He pointed me to two different parking areas, the second being next to the Halliburton Pavillion. It was level and pull-through but just a parking lot - it worked fine. All the signs say the park closes at 7PM but the groundskeeper said they stay open if people are still in the park. Also, the gate isn't locked, just closed with a chain wrapped around (I've seen that trick before!). Oh, and RV Site #2 is the only designated RV parking spot. The groundskeeper said, "I'm not sure why it says #2 because there isn't a #1". All these minor issues aside, it is a lovely park with trails and huge lawns, playground, volleyball, baseball, horseshoes, bathrooms, a pond, and picnic areas. It would be tremendous if they set up a small section actually designated for RV parking as the park is delightful and would less confusing for overnighters. There is some interstate noise as might be expected.

I pulled in around first week of March. It was after 5:00 and the office was closed. So I drove in, saw a spot for rv only, pulled in and parked.
About 10 minutes later a maintenance man pulled up and made sure I was aware that they closed the gates at 7 . He was a very welcoming and informative gentleman.
Winter hours October 01 to February 28 they close the gate at 5:00 and your not allowed entry. Summer hours March 01 thru Sept they close the gate at 7:00.
Its probably best if you called and reserve a spot, since there is only 3 spots available for rv and 7 spots for tent.
Nice and quite except for freeway noise, but was not all that bad. Very clean. I would stay overnight again. Of course no hookups.

Looking to stop for the night. Not far of the interstate. Saw several truckstops just off the interstate, but wanted to try this. Got here around 6 pm (traffic delays) on a Tuesday, called the number and left a message. No call back 2 hours later when I write this review. RV spot is on the interstate side of the 1st ball field you get to. Look for the sign posted in the images. We got there just as a peewee t-ball team got there to practice. So nice entertainment for us :-) Site is long and gravel, not very level, but can make it work for a night. There are also tent sites on the other side of the ball field further from the interstate. Playground, waking trails, picnic tables. Definitely road noise, but much nicer than a truck stop.

This county park is close I-10 so you can definitely hear traffic. But, we turn on white noise at night, so that doesn't bother us. The park is huge. There were a lot of families, walkers, runners here when we arrived at about 3 PM, but they were pretty much gone by 5:30. We had the whole place to ourselves. Our dogs LOVED it. They could run and play and carry on safely. That is a luxury when we're on the road. No hookups. Park ranger came by at about 4 to say Hi... very nice guy. Loved it here. This will be a regular stop for us on our way west in the winter.

We arrived and found the park to be very green and pretty. It was also completely empty. A nice man escorted us to the one camp spot. We opted to just park by the Pavilion as it was raining and pretty sloshy. You can hear I-10 in the background but nothing to loud. The lot we pulled into was perfectly level. Easy access off I-10.
