Kimball Bend Park is a little hide-a-way secret of a gem to camp at. There are vehicles crossing the river on an elevated bridge, but besides that it's very quiet. The staff are always outstanding. The campground is tiny, but easy to back the rig in, and enjoyable to walk around. The paved road from the campground to the gate is really nice and peaceful to walk the dog, and enjoy nature. The Mrs. & I always enjoy our stay there. I recommend the outer circle of campsites as there's less tree hazards (lots of pecans falling late in the year).

Park overall is great; boat ramp is fabulous. Stickers and ants are the only thing bad right now. Bring a can of ant/ bug spray you will need it. They find their way into your camper
