Honest review of Two Creeks Crossing in Livingston, Texas
Today we’ve got an honest review of Two Creeks Crossing Resort in Livingston, Texas. We had the privilege of staying with them at their request so we could share our opinion of the place.
What is Two Creeks Crossing in Livingston, Texas?

Two Creeks Crossing Resort is a very large campground that’s about a year old as of this writing. There are spots for RVs of all sorts and also cabins, glamping tents, yurts, a tree house cabin, covered sites for long-term RVers, and even a bar and cafe that has a stage for live music. In addition there is a very large swimming pool with a hot tub, pickleball courts and all the amenities you might expect in an RV resort or even a nicer hotel.
In fact the lobby of this place is set-up much like a nicer hotel.
Two Creeks Crossing is located right on Lake Livingston so there is a boat ramp and access to the lake along with kayak rentals. Some of the RV sites are right on the lake as well.

The layout of Two Creeks Crossing in Livingston, Texas
Before I go any further, I want to commend whoever designed this park as having designed the best planned RV park I have ever been to.
Often when you have a large park and offer facilities for long-term RVers, you can see those facilities from the rest of the sites. Okay, you expect that. Let’s be honest, though - many people who get off the road and camp permanently, or semi-permanently, start attracting stuff. Eventually that stuff gets tired looking.
Two Creeks Crossing RV resort features a modern tribute to Texas ranching heritage
So there you are on vacation and you’re looking at the remnants of whatever pieces of someone’s life would be tossed in the dumpster at the local Goodwill, quite frankly.
At Two Creeks Crossing, the long-term sites are off hidden by a row of trees. Those long-term sites are all covered, too. The idea of giving full-time RVers their own “neighborhood” and then offering covered sites is absolutely brilliant.
To me it makes the transient sites much nicer because you don’t have to see the semi-permanent sites while you’re on vacation. Further, the covers over the long-term sites mitigates the fact that RV roofs aren’t the greatest thing since sliced bread.
Someone got it very right.
RV camping at Two Creeks Crossing Resort
Since we’re RVers we got to take advantage of an RV site. We happened to be there over Easter Sunday so there were a lot of groups and campers there enjoying the weekend.

As such we got to see how the park handled groups as well as individuals and they did well with all of us.
Across the street from us was a site grouping that offered an enormous lawn area where a group took advantage of the space to gather from several campers and spend the weekend enjoying some fun. I almost wanted to see if I could horn in on their activities - they looked like they were having a great time and, by the smell of things, eating well too.
The sites were rather spacious with ours backing up to a meadow that looked like the perfect spot for deer to pay us a visit. While the campground has 92 RV sites it doesn’t feel like you’re in a big parking lot by any stretch of the imagination.
There were full hook-ups at our site and the site was pretty long - enough that our trailer and truck fit in easily.

The bathrooms
There must be something about Texas and clean restrooms. Taking a page from the Buc-Ees playbook, the bathrooms as this campground were immaculate and also quite nice.
There were big, spacious showers and the toilet and sink facilities were first-rate. I’d be happy if the bathrooms in our own house were half this nice, quite honestly.
There were bathroom facilities aplenty by the pool and common area as well as bathroom buildings scattered throughout the campground.
Common areas at Two Creeks Crossing Resort
Since this place is brand new so, too, are the common grounds. While it was a bit chilly while we were visiting, so we didn’t go in the swimming pool, we did go in the hot tub and that was delightful. Kids, who seem to have no concept of cold water, were happy playing in the pool.
Looking from the outside in, the pool is a nifty design that has a sloped entrance instead of steps so it’s really easy to get into. I would imagine that this makes it much easier children, and for people with mobility challenges as well.
That’s entertainment
Something new to us was what’s called an Ice House. Apparently these used to be where people in this region would go for ice and then, over time, other supplies. On the property is a place called Swamper’s Ice House which is where they offer a bar along with simple food choices on weekends.
While we were there there was a musician performing on Saturday night and there’s a large lawn area outside of Swamper’s Ice House. On the lawn are some games such as corn hole. A bunch of tables surround the lawn and it was a nice place to enjoy some music.
We got some of the food prepared at Swamper’s and it wasn’t anything to write home about, but it was right there on the property and there was music and a choice of some good beers. I believe they also offer frozen drinks and wine as well.
Overall a really enjoyable Saturday night that we could walk to.
More things to see
There are also a bunch of yurts and cabins, all nestled in the woods surrounding the park.
I suspect if you rent one of these you’ll absolutely feel like you’re off in the deep woods only because there are enough trees around to make the spots feel isolated. But you’re not a far walk from Swamper’s Ice House nor the lobby.
There are a lot of cabins here, too. We got to check out one of these which had a loft and a full compliment of clean, modern kitchen amenities.
If you have a group there’s one of these cabins called the Tree House which is up on stilts so that your main deck is an open place for your group to gather. There are a number of group activities provided here, too, as well as hammocks.
Conclusions
This would absolutely be a place I would return to. While we’re not necessarily “resort” people this park had a down home feel to it that didn’t feel too uppity, but it was certainly very nice and well designed.
There’s a full camp store with the usual RV-related items as well as plenty of stuff for those who like to fish. They also have a tremendous assortment of ice cream and that’s a good thing!
All the people we encountered were really very nice and seemed interested in making the guest experience a positive one.
So we would definitely go back. In fact this would be a great place to hold a group outing or StressLess Camping RV rally. The location is good and the park is, as I wrote, one of the most well-designed parks I’ve seen for a lot of reasons. Plus it’s immaculate without being so polished that you don’t feel like you’re camping. There are some historic touches and a historic building on the property and Swamper’s Ice House feels old timey, though I suspect that it’s as new as the lobby building.
Also, for those who might have some mobility challenges, there are a lot of sites, cabins and facilities that are well designed to meet those challenges.
