If you're looking for some quality Lake Belton camping, then Winkler Park is perfect. Winkler Park is a small, primitive campground on the northern shore of Belton Lake in central Texas. This facility does not have electricity, but does have individual water hookups, paved back-in sites and a central restroom with showers. There are 14 sites available for RVs and tents. Belton Lake was created by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers with the construction of Belton Dam in 1954. The 12,300-acre lake is located on the Leon River, just upstream of the confluence of the Leon River and the Little River. Belton Lake is a long, narrow and winding lake with many curves and coves, providing some of the best camping, fishing and boating in central Texas.
From Interstate 35 in Temple, Texas take State Highway 53/36 west towards Gatesville (approximatey 10 miles). Just after Leon River Bridge, turn right on White Flint Park Road. Turn left on Winkler Park Road and follow it to the park entrance.
I will never come here again, I have been coming here a while and never had a issue. Well this time I met Karen who told me to leave the park and then tried to lock me in when I was leaving. Told me the park was closed but other employees waved at me when I went in and the gate was open. Don’t waste your time coming here.
We love to stay at Winkler Park. Great place for tent and it was very good to use water connection. And also we love hosts of the camping area. Great place for who want a peaceful weekend.
Fairly nice campground. Had a great time with the family. No real complaints. For as many sites as there are, it could use more than a one person restroom and maybe some tents pads. We pitched a tent on a bunch of fire ants and didn't realize it. At least with marked tent pads, something like that would have been more visible. But I like it here and plan on going again in the near future.
Wonder three days at this park. The caretakers we're friendly and welcoming. The park was very well cared for. We will be returning.
