We stayed in the Fox campsites and we had a great time. It rained on us one day, but the next day the sky cleared up and it was warm. We camped as a group, probably six or seven families each in their own site and we all had a great time. The lake is pretty close to being full and even though you can't get in the water, it's beautiful to see the sun rise and set over the water. There is lots to do. Or you can do as I did and do nearly nothing. Very enjoyable, I would recommend it to anyone that lives to camp. They have from tent camping to full hookups so they can accommodate just about anyone.

Disc golf course is nestled between ravines with very challenging drives. Intermediate level course with some advanced/pro level shaped shot opportunities. Lake Casitas in the background. Beautiful!

1st time and I loved it. Plenty of space for our RV and had power and water hook ups. Dump station on site and staff/Rangers were helpful and informative. Definitely will be going back.

I highly recommend Lake Casitas Recreation Area for camping, day trips, or a fun family outing! As a local, I've enjoyed this spot for years. The recently renovated water park is fantastic, with a great kids' play area and lazy river. There are plenty of clean restrooms and showers, plus a convenient on-site store. Camping here is amazing, especially now that the lake is full. Don't miss out on this hidden gem! One of these pictures shows the restaurant with the boat loading ramp next to it. That ramp had not been used for many many years, so it is amazing to see it operational now since the water level has risen.
