Brief Overview: 
Tres Rios (three rivers) River Resort, Campground, and RV Park is situated on property that is at the intersection of the Brazos, Paluxy, and Squaw Creek rivers. This park is located about a mile from downtown Glen Rose and across the street from 36 holes of very good golf at Squaw Valley. They are also home to some great bluegrass and country music concerts under a large pavilion - check their website for a schedule of events and don't miss Tommy Alverson's Family Picnic which is a Texas Outside Favorite.

Amenities and Fun Things To Do:
Within the park, Tres Rios has a big swimming pool, horseshoe pit, playground, and volleyball court. You can also fish, swim, and hike along any of the three rivers.

Tres Rios offers a number of lodging options including efficiencies, and cabins plus tent camping in the trees along the river. They have over 250 RV sites with water and electricity (both 30 and 50 amp) and some sites have a sewer hookup.

Tres Rios also has a dinning pavilion with a good restaurant that is open on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. They have meeting rooms/halls for family reunions or other similar events.

A Typical Texas Outsider Day:

Typically, when we stay at Tres Rios we are here for a music event or to explore Glen Rose and the surrounding area. On our most recent stay we where here to explore Glen Rose and play golf at The Retreat -- check out Thank God for Weekends to read more about what we did that weekend which included: downtown Glen Rose, Fossil Rim Wildlife Center, The Retreat Golf Course, and biking at Dinosaur Valley State Park.

When we come down for a music event, we usually ride bikes to downtown Glen Rose and walk, shop, and eat our way around the square and play golf at Squaw Valley which is right across the street from Tres Rios.

On this last trip we spent 3 hours on the self driving tour of Fossil Rim Wildlife Center for an up-close and personal encounter with a number of animals.
