Aggieland RV Park

The Great Outdoors

Camping at the Aggieland RV Park is a popular base for visiting the Sam Houston National Forest, which encompasses more than 160,000 acres along the edge of Lake Livingston. Among its network of hiking trails is the longest continuously marked footpath in Texas, the Lone Star Hiking Trail, which extends 96 miles from Richards to Cleveland. If you want to get out on the water, head to Double Lake, where canoes and paddleboats are available for rent or cast a line to see what’s biting in the waters of Lake Conroe and Lake Livingston.Slightly farther north is the Davy Crockett National Forest, which is named for the American folk hero and legendary pioneer. Keen anglers should head to the Ratcliff Lake Recreation Area, where you can also swim and cool off during the summer months. If you want to stretch your legs, you can follow one of the short nature trails or tackle the 20-mile-long Four C National Recreation Trail, which offers incredible views across the national forest from the Neches Bluff Overlook.A short hop south of the Aggieland RV Park is Somerville Lake, which was created in 1967 by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. It lies along the Yegua Creek and (aside from providing flood control and irrigation water) is a popular recreational destination for residents of adjacent Somerville. Anglers can try their luck at luring largemouth bass, bluegill, catfish, and black crappie while walkers can explore the rolling grasslands and prairie on foot. Recreational facilities are clustered in Rocky Creek Park and Yegua Creek Park, both of which hug the southern shores of the lake.

The seven-acre Leach Teaching Gardens are a great place for learning about food production, water conservation, and landscape design while being a peaceful sanctuary for relaxing. Art enthusiasts can head to the J. Wayne Stark Galleries, which is run by the University Art Galleries Department and includes impressive collections of 19th and 20th-century American works. While the focus is on Texan artists, there are also pieces of pre-Columbian pottery and 19th-century German paintings.Whether you want to explore the Sam Houston National Forest or stroll through the sprawling A&M campus of College Station, book a travel trailer rental in Brazos County and start planning your next vacation.
