Excellent cell services. Not many shaded sites. Sites in the “middle” have lots of space. Sites along the water front are kind of close together but are generally at enough of an angle you won’t be staring at your neighbor through the window of your RV and offer great views of the lake. Roads are on the skinny side, when backing in a trailer, many sites will force the front wheels of the tow vehicle to go off the road onto the the other side, this is made somewhat easier by the pads that are unusually wide compared to most campgrounds. Fortunately there doesn’t appear to be any ditches to contend with.
Restrooms where “OK” could use a good cleaning/scrubbing. Lake is big enough for most general boating / jet ski recreation.
Arrived hours after a major storm moved through, campground was already getting cleaned up, great to see staff that care about the grounds.

There are many deer in the park so be careful driving in the morning and evening. No noise except for people, few power boats on the lake.
Big Mike's restaurant and store is right out the gate, worth a stop. Hamburgers are great and brisket on the weekends.
AT&T cell service was excellent, all the bars of 5G, AT&T tower is right across the lake. Many HDTV channels came in.

We enjoyed the uncrowded space, and room for our big rig. We camped in a 44’ Class A. Good power, water, and clear unobstructed views of the water. Facilities looked nice, but we didn’t use them. Good AT&T signal.

I didn't know Texas had a place this pretty. The large oaks and Spanish moss reminded us of central Florida and while it did not look recently mowed, the sites and fields were very uniform and picturesque. If you have a convertible or a motorcycle, or just love a good Sunday drive, this whole area will be a real treat for you.
Access was quite easy, and the park office was open till 10pm in case you arrive late. Our site was all gravel, but huge and level, we could have had another rig in our spot end to end and been fine. We were there over easter weekend, and while pretty full, the sites have enough space as to not feel crowded.
This site missed the 5-star mark for just a few small issues:
Sprint does not work here, at least not for us...not a real issue since Sprint is mostly no more, but if you haven't changed over, you will be out of luck. T-mobile to the rescue!
The provided BBQ grill for our site had the bottom rusted out of it, it might have held coal without some foil or something in the bottom, but we didn't try.
Make sure you use a power-protector/surge-protector, preferable something with a low-voltage disconnect. In our group of 3 class As (us and two across the street from us on the lake side), both the lakeside rigs had some irregular power issues (one without a surge protector fried his microwave, the other had his generator auto-start for low power)
To be fair the park was very crowded for easter weekend, but especially Saturday morning, I guess everyone's coffee maker came on at the same time and the park's power just couldn't adjust quickly enough.
Those issues are nothing compared to waking up to the sun rising over the lake. All in all a wonderful visit, a great site, and a place we will definitely be back to.

We had read the previous reviews and were fully aware of the fact that Rocky Creek Park has sand burrs. Thus, when we ventured out to practice our disc golf in the grassy areas, we weren't surprised that the annoying little burrs stuck to our shoes and socks. But, ....we didn't take the warning seriously enough.
Our socks, shoes and ankles were repeatedly holding onto the burrs. We actually turned to carrying needle nosed pliers with us on every outing. Kinda glad we don't have a dog on this trip.
If you are not active outdoorsy types; don't worry. Rocky Creek is a lovely spot. The Park staff are friendly and do a good job. Bathrooms were very clean when we were there. Showers are large with hot water.
The sites are somewhat closer together than in most COE campgrounds, but quite spacious compared to most private or state park campgrounds.
Most of the park was closed off in mid-November 2020. Not a problem, however. Every part of Rocky Creek is beautiful. Somerville Lake is always a deep crystal blue. Hundreds of deer frolic in the grass. They appear more interested in people than vice versa.
IF you come to Rocky Creek, definitely check out Wild Bill's. It's a convenience store, bar, restaurant at the corner where you turn onto Rocky Creek Rd. A pleasant walk or bike ride. Their enormous hamburgers are ridiculously good. The proprietors take pride in their service and food. Prices are very, very reasonable.
All in all, Rocky Creek is a fun and relaxing COE park. We enjoyed biking on the surrounding roads.
Cell service for both Verizon and AT&T were more than adequate.
