Absolutely gorgeous, incredibly well kept camp ground. We met the Host, Ms. Kramer and knew within 30 seconds that this woman was incredibly passionate about her work. It shows in the remarkable attention to detail, and cleanliness of the campsite. She was quick to offer us a map of the hiking trails, as well as up to date advice on what to expect. The water has been gone for a couple of seasons, and your GPS map is likely to be inaccurate as to where the river is.

We really enjoyed our stay at Grelle! Linda and Cricket are the best. We've never felt more welcomed at a park before. We camped in a tent with 2 adults, 2 teens, and our dog. Grelle has a lot of shaded hiking and many offshoots to explore. I don't think there has been water at Grelle for a long time so we definitely were surprised by that but it didn't take away from our experience as it was a bit chilly anyway. There is 1 portopotty as well as the restroom(which we didn't end up using because it was much farther). Take wood with you or Linda has some she can sell you, cash is easiest it seemed. We stayed at campsite #4 and it was a great spot near the portopotty (not too close) and it was a large campsite with a tall fire ring drum that made making a fire in the windy conditions both easier and safer. We hope to return soon!

We enjoyed the first annual (or more) Heart of Texas Fly-In at the Grelle Rec area. The large dry lake there provided an excellent Landing Zone for our paramotors. People came to ohhh and ahhh at us flying around. All had a blast. Many thanks to our host and Lone Star Paramotor.

Thought this would be a great spot for a Sunday hike, as we love to explore new places. We checked the map beforehand and had a copy with us while hiking. We brought our 2 dogs as we saw online it was shaded/forested and that it was about a 2 mile loop. About halfway in we got lost, as the trail markers were poorly placed. We spent too much time trying to get back to our car, one of our dogs overheated because we had been out there way longer than we intended, we rushed her to the vet and she passed away before we could get there. It was a very traumatic day and I will never come back. There was nobody at the entrance to greet us or give information, had to find it ourselves. What started as a lovely afternoon hike turned into the worst tragedy of my life. If you choose to brave the trails, check the maps, double check the markers, use a compass, or whatever tools you can so you don’t get lost. And bring lots of water.

My husband and I took a spontaneous camping trip. We intended to go to Pace Bend Park but they were fully booked for primitive camping. We took a short stop on the side of the road to figure out our next step. Looking up places around us, we found Grelle Rec. Park. Called to check if they had any availability and a sweet Lady named Linda said “come on down, I got you guys”! She and her sweet dog met us at the entrance. We followed her down to one of the overflow sites where we ended up pitching our tent. A view with hills, water and Blue bonnets everywhere. Linda saved our weekend and this sweet lady didn’t just take the time out of her day to meet and talk with us, she keeps the whole place clean. Dogs are supposed to be on a leash but we went down to the beach and let the dogs go crazy, like many other campers did. Everyone was friendly and cautious of other people around. Thank you, Linda. We very much enjoyed our stay.
