Meridian State Park is an under appreciated gem within driving distance from DFW , Hillsboro, and…read moreWaco. And for those of us who live in the Metroplex it's a breath of fresh air in more ways than one. For one thing it's not that crowded. At least it wasn't when I camped there midweek. In fact I had my choice of places to pitch my tent. For another it is so much different terrain wise than my part of Dallas. MSP bills itself as being "at the top of the Hill County" and I believe it. Beautiful. There's a decent sized lake for canoeing, kayaking, swimming, and fishing. (No fishing license required.) A variety of hiking trails for both beginner and jock. Hot showers and flush toilets. Many campsites have water and electricity but the most beautiful sites are primitive. The staff is friendly and helpful. Admission is $5 per person per day. Seniors get a price break with the appropriate pass. And for $70 per year you can bring a carload into any state park for free. For one full year. Check it out. If you're a frazzled city dweller like me you might just find that a night or two in a tent at the top of the Hill County might just fit the bill. I think I'll be going back.

The property along the beachfront of the river is very pretty. It was well maintained and check in…read morewas fairly straightforward. The camp host was rather rude from the start though. The tent campsites are TINY and very close to each other. This wouldn't be so bad if your group has two side by side, but if not, beware. When we questioned the camp host about the lot sizes she snapped at us about how they were the biggest around. That is a lie, but whatever. The grounds keeper was also very rude and creepy. Anyway, the site beside us was full of frat boys who were drinking heavily through the night. Falling out of their cars, puking everywhere, screaming. I checked on them a few times and they were nice enough but continued to play music into the early hours of the morning disturbing my family and the family next to us. People use hipcamp to avoid the crowds. This was like a typical Texas state park. Nothing special besides the river. The hiking was terrible. And the lots are SMALL. We left an honest and fair review on the hipcamp website and the owner Tony responded with the most hateful retort, haha. Saying that his ranch was worth $5million dollars and our measly $100 rental didn't deserve a bigger site or space. That the $100 wouldn't even pay for his gas. He caters to the ones who rent out the acre lots, not weekend campers. Very unprofessional. So I'm sure for some this place will be fine, but management is rude and the lots are trash. We will never go back and would not recommend this site to anyone looking for a relaxing camping trip. This is stripmall camping on a pretty spot.

Also had a game where kids run around trying to push/hit the red/green lights for points. Snack bar and place to have birthday parties. Very nice to have these indoor playgrounds in Texas with the heat or on rainy or cold days so the kids can burn off energy. I would say this place is for 10 yrs and younger, not for older kids

You might get stabbed by rusty nails. Long version: We ( my mother, my 2 year old, my 3 month old and I) visited almost 3 weeks ago. The "manager" Monica (short lady , red hair ) charged me for my 3 month old. When I questioned why I was paying for him to enter when he can't play , she asked how old he was. I clarified his age and she reiterated that they charge for babies too because they have an area for them. In that area was a monster truck climbing statue and some climbing blocks. Mind you he can't even sit up on his own let alone climb or crawl. I went back and asked why his age mattered if they charged further everyone. Monica then said "if they are 2 weeks old then we may not charge". It seemed as though she was making up lies as she went. She couldn't give me a receipt. She says she didn't have the contact to any manager. Then she says she was a manager. Just a bunch of bs. My mother stabbed herself on some type of nail or dining in the "newborn place area" . It was just horrific. We said that we'd be contacting the BBB and calling back to shush to an actual manager, as well as contacting someone for the safety concerns. Maybe 20 minutes later she called my phone saying "we heard about the complaint and are issuing a refund " I knew it was her trying to save her job with a hush refund because we hadn't filed a complaint yet. Don't go here
