We’ve been camping for years, and our favorite parks tend to be Texas State Parks, which tend to have great amenities, updated fixtures, and quality roadways & camping pads. This park is definitely NOT a Texas State Park. Not just because it’s a Corps of Engineers park, but because the differences are definitely notable.
Although the views are masterpieces and the volume of people sparse, this park needs a LOT of TLC. We camped in site 31, which was fairly flat, however we still had to do a fair amount of leveling in our camper. The site itself was nice, including sewer and a standard 20/30 amp connection, plus water. The roadway within the park is uneven and has several broken areas, so be mindful as you make your way to your campsite.
The day use areas are questionable at best. In the area we visited, there are 2 picnic pavilions that have literally eroded into the lake. The bathroom facility near the same area is also abandoned and reminiscent of a horror film.
Amenities are light, which isn’t a major issue. There’s lots of room to bring your own activities and enjoy the park, and fishing is a must.
All-in-all, this is a park we’ll probably be back to, but mainly because of it’s proximity to the DFW area, and because of the quiet atmosphere. If not for those things, we’d definitely be looking for a Texas State Park rather than this one.
