Dinosaur Valley RV Park — Hotel in Granbury

Dinosaur Valley RV Park is the best of all worlds. Run by Mark and Tina, alongside a friendly crew of very professional folks, this park is a hidden gem just outside Glen Rose, Texas. Family-friendly, dog-friendly, quiet, scenic, and just far enough off the beaten path to shake the city off your feet, it has everything you want in an RV park. The 40+ RV spots are level gravel (with concrete hidden under peat rock), come with full-service hooks ups (sewer, water, and stable 30/50 power), good Wi-Fi, and close reach to Cell Towers (Verizon & AT&T), each has their own grass area, picnic area, and firepit set up, and are ALL pull-thru for easy arrival and departure. Wide roads allow you to tow in just about any sized rig with plenty of room to park your tow vehicle at your stop. First, this is the perfect place to take your kids or grandkids. It includes a full-sized kids pool, Paluxy River access, a small BMX track, and the Dinosaur World museum and playground right next door. Additionally, the Dinosaur Valley State Park (DVSP) is right next door. Although they charge $7.00 for a day pass, the park borders the RV park and has a driving, biking, and hiking access (with a pass). See real dinosaur footprints that are still visible in the river-side rock or bring your fishing rod and try to catch a fish. Meanwhile, if you're a mountain biker (like me), DVSP has a roughly 15-mile well-marked, single-track and fire road, trail network that includes both easy and medium difficulty areas. Rock drops mixed with smooth dirt lines and challenging climbs make this a great place to lose yourself for an hour or two. A few of the trails are hiking-only but there is a big enough network to never have to ride the same trail twice. I think DVSP is one of the top 10 mountain biking trails in Texas and a must-ride location if you're passing through. Plus, most trail intersections include posted trail maps in case you get turned around. But wait! There's more! Dinosaur Valley RV Park includes a new coin-operated air-conditioned laundry room, 4 x bathroom bath house, and adults-only pool complete with a hot tub, and a trading post for odds and ins. For the kids, the park just added an animal farm that includes horses, cows, and goats (all shy but very friendly) and a real pioneer fort (still under construction). Don't have an RV? No problem! Dinosaur Valley RV Park has 4-5 cabins you can rent too. It really has everything you need to enjoy Texas outdoors with your family. All in all, Dinosaur Valley RV Park is a dreamland for any RV camper who is into hiking or mountain biking and the perfect setting for kids to get away from their screens and get some dirt on their feet. I would recommend this park over any RV park within 50 miles hands down. If you are looking for a great place outside of the Dallas/Fort Worth area (only 60-minutes away) consider Dinosaur Valley RV Park. You will enjoy every...

I can't say enough good about this park. We had an outstanding time and no issues whatsoever.

The sites are all pull-through and plenty big enough for the largest of rigs. Our 35ft bumper pull left room for 2 more vehicles to be parked completely within the gravel area when we needed. The sites aren't packed in together like sardines so we never felt like we were parked on top of anyone, even when the park was at capacity, which is always a plus. Each site had 30 and 50 amp hookups as well as sewer and room for 2 water hoses per site. Each site had its own picnic table and fire pit which was a nice touch.

The pool was very nice with shallow areas on the edges dropping off into a deeper area in the middle with steps one one side and a pool length bench built into the other. There were umbrellas in the water for keeping the sun off. The hot tub was huge and it was all kept spotless for our entire stay. There was also a playground next to the pool for the kids as well as a huge fire pit with chairs around it for the adults.

The owners and management were simply great. Not only were they all polite and professional, they were genuinely interested in making sure we had a good time, even bringing some baby goats for the kids to pet one day and having a huge outdoor screen set up one evening for a park-wide family movie night. They seemed to be constantly working to keep the park clean and looking it's best and it really showed.

If you don't want to swim in the pool, it is just a short walk down a small path to the river where you can just sit in the water and enjoy the beautiful view or go exploring up and down the river.

I would highly reccomend this park to anyone wanting to stay in the area and will...

A resort in the making right in the heart of Texas.

We apparently picked the perfect week to stay here as it felt like we had to whole place to ourselves (which we know wasn't the case the following week as friends were there and it was filling in more). This owners are meticulous about things as everything was very well done. Even the layout seemed to have perfect rows with more than adequate spacing.

It's a large park that appears to be close to doubling in size. They have an amazing pool and spa, fire pits and benches on site and a really nice community fire pit. The roads are gravel/dirt but well maintained and produced little to know dust. The store was nicely stocked and this was one of the only restrooms we have used this year and it felt that we may have been the first people to ever use them as they were nearly perfect. The WiFi worked decent and would cut out every once in a while, but definitely usable (please keep in mind there were only a few of us in the park at the time). Access was simple and supplies and services were really close in Glen Rose and Granbury. FHU worked nicely.

We did get a sneak peak of their recreation room and it looks like it will be fantastic.

Location wise it is right next to Dinosaur Valley State Park. You can literally walk into the park. At night the skies light up with stars as the community is relatively dark.

It's just a really nice park and we were...
