2025-04-12 Oakdale Park Motor Inn Camping, Glen Rose TX

 Oakdale, the original family campground opened in 1925 as a campground and motor court. The swimming pool was the largest pool in Texas at that time. It's called the Oakdale Plunge and holds 330,000 gallons of water so it still ranks up there as one of the largest pools. It is one of the only private RV parks in the country listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Oakdale has hosted many events from family reunions, RV rallies, swimming parties, and music concerts over its 100 year reign.

The office is located right next to the pool. The park has 120 full hookup RV spaces, 20 tent spots with electric, 24 cabins, two bath houses and 2 meeting spaces. In addition there is a huge nearly 100 year old updated building at the front of the park called The Casino which has also been an event center, a dance hall, and a roller skating rink. 

Check out the Cowgirl Motel.

There is a large modern laundry.

The pavilion is huge and has an outdoor kitchen.

There is also an outdoor amphitheater which hosts bluegrass concerts.

Let's talk about the cabins. These smaller cabins are called casitas and they have 2 full size beds, a bathroom with walk-in shower, a Magicaire fridge and microwave and coffee pot. Originally they were located at the front of the property but were moved to the back.

There are also larger family size cabins with 2 full size beds, a sofa bed, a full size bathroom with walk=in shower and a full kitchen. These were actually homes who entrances faced the street behind the park. They were added to the park and the entrance moved to the park side. 

There is also a bunkhouse that has 11 bunkbeds, two bathrooms, and a full kitchen.

Elaine and I shared a buddy site so that our RVs faced each other. Harley was on his way over to Elaine's trailer.

The Texas Ramblin' Roses have had at least 3 rallies here at Oakdale. Sister's on the Fly were leaving as we arrived and a Winnebago Rally started after our rally ended. One of these days we will have a rally there when the pool is open.
