Mustang Park is a spacious tent campground and dayuse area on the south side of Benbrook Lake in north-central Texas, accessible from WInscott Plover Road. Camping, picnicking, fishing, boat launching, and wildlife viewing are available.
Mustang is a unique camping experience at Benbrook, where day-users are not restricted to designated table sites or roadways - you may set up and day-use anywhere in the park you like, even right on the shoreline. The adjacent swimming beach is popular, as is fishing along the shoreline of Mustang Point.
Mustang Park offers open camping, along with a large group pavilion with utilities for overnight use, as well as restrooms with showers, and a trailer dump station. There is also a children's play structure near the swimming beach.
Mustang Park is on the west side of Mustang Creek on the south side of the Lake, with wooded creek bottoms and gently sloping shorelines.
Fort Worth's renowned Cultural & Museum District, Stockyards National Historic District, Botanical Gardens, Zoo, Bass Performance Hall, and downtown Sundance Square, are all only a short drive. The campground closes at 10:00 p.m. so plan ahead..

Beautiful Park...only $5.00😊Visited on a Thursday around lunch time...only 1 car🤔!!
I will definitely revisit when it Cools down in Texas!
Went to kayak and had a good experience. A couple access points/boat ramps to the lake. Near 2 tributaries that were fun to explore, but they might not have water when the lake is lower. It was at 99% for this visit.
This park has quickly become a family favorite. Great swimming spots and decent bathrooms. Fun fact, Benbrook Lake is only about a 20 min drive from Burleson, Godley, Joshua, and Fort Worth?! This particular park is the closest to us, and we've had a blast out there this summer.
