Campgrounds and RV parks near Killeen, TX

Killeen sits in Bell County in central Texas, adjacent to the Fort Cavazos military installation (formerly Fort Hood) and within short driving distance of two major U.S. Army Corps of Engineers reservoirs: Belton Lake to the northeast and Stillhouse Hollow Lake to the southeast. Belton Lake was created by the Corps of Engineers on the Leon River, covers 12,300 acres, and offers some of the best camping, fishing, and boating in Central Texas. Stillhouse Hollow Lake is a Corps of Engineers reservoir on the Lampasas River, about five miles southwest of Belton, impounded for flood control. RV travelers have a mix of options within a short drive of central Killeen. Private, in-town parks such as Cicada Springs RV Park, Harker Heights RV Park, Basin RV Park, and Cove RV Park serve travelers who want paved sites, full hookups, and quick access to shopping, restaurants, and the post. Elm Grove MH Community sits nearby for longer-stay RV parking. For lake-oriented trips, Corps campgrounds around Belton and Stillhouse Hollow provide waterfront or wooded sites with electric and water service.
