Old Settlers RV Park is owned by the Old Settlers Association which started after the success of the ex-Confederate soldiers reunions around the turn of the century when several people decided to organize a reunion based on length of residency in the country. Open to all settlers, whose families lived in the country prior to 1871, the group first met in Georgetown on August 27, 1904. The reunions have been held ever since as the Old Settlers Association Celebration on July 4th. For more than 80 years the tree-covered property served the Round Rock and the Old Settlers Association as a meeting place with an open tabernacle, baseball field, and lots of open space.
Today, the association owns a building with two meeting rooms and an RV park with 40 sites across the street from the Dell Diamond Baseball Park, home to the Round Rock Express. The centerpiece of the organization’s part of the park is the A.J. Palm Farmhouse that once was the homestead for the original settlers on the land and is being restored. The group has also added their collection of log cabins, the old store from Rice’s Crossing, and the original barn.
We stayed at this park when we were attending the Texas Country Music Festival in November - you can find a review of the festival by clicking here.
