San Angelo KOA

The Great Outdoors

RV rentals in Tom Green County are your perfect choice for camping with an RV and your opportunity to experience the feel of driving an RV. Begin this epic adventure by heading to San Angelo State Park on OC Fisher Reservoir. This is where you can take in the natural environment along with the local history; staff-led tours and programs will enrich your experience by focusing on and explaining the local wildlife (bison and longhorns), local historical events, and even the stars in the night sky. Miles and miles of multi-use trails provide an opportunity to hike and mountain bike, and one of the trails takes you past the fossilized remains of pre-dinosaur creatures. Another trail follows the lakeshore from end to end.About an hour's drive from San Angelo KOA you will find the city of Ballinger and beyond that, Hords Creek Lake, a picturesque location for camping and fishing. Largemouth bass, white crappie, catfish, and sunfish are stocked here in sufficient numbers, some of them reaching up to 11 pounds in size. Kayaking and canoeing, swimming, and tubing are just some of the water sports you can engage in, and the park also allows you to mountain bike on trails and hike through the gently rolling hills that surround the lake. Campsites are available should you wish to stay overnight; some of them have water and electrical hookups, and some have sewer hookups. A few sites have screen shelters in case the wind picks up.Continue heading east in your San Angelo motorhome rental, and you will discover Lake Brownwood State Park, which also offers the chance to enjoy land and water-based activities. Most of the park's several miles of trails are designated for hiking only, but there is one trail where you can enjoy mountain biking. It is also where you can water-ski, jet ski, or head out on a paddleboard. If you're hoping to spend some time bird watching or nature watching, the park has numerous resident bird species and a variety of plants, trees, and mammals.
