Gaines County Park and the golf course sit together north of Seminole

Gaines County The Great Outdoors

North of Seminole on US-385, Gaines County Park feels like a county living room. The community center at 853 US-385 can host reunions, showers, meetings, and a meal after everyone has driven in.

That cluster is the useful part. The park, community center, RV hookups, and Gaines County Golf Course sit together, so visitors are not chasing addresses across town.

The park has 24 RV hookups, with daily rates posted for county residents and nonresidents. Reservations and payment go through the golf course during business hours or by calling 432-758-3808.
