It is in the West side of Juniper Point park, and it has limited access to the water. You would have to navigate huge boulders on a steep cliff-like area to get down to the water. There is a nearby boat ramp within walking distance and a small beach area next to that that is again blocked off by lots of rocks. This is not a good camping spot for swimming or kayaking/paddle boarding. You could not park your boat near your site. It is, however, a GORGEOUS, generously sized RV camping spot with great views of the lake and sunset, a pristine concrete pad with picnic table and fire pit with grill top that pivots out of the way if needed, nice grassy areas, and partial shade. It feels very private. We will definitely reserve this spot again in the fall. We'll have to go to the East side next time for swimming.

Juniper Point East is one of our all-time favorite campgrounds. The campgrounds on the beach are beautiful and a great place for the kiddos to play. The only downside is the bathrooms. They’re usually disgusting but the staff are friendly and don’t lock the gate lol

An important thing to know about Juniper Point is that there is an East Campground and a West Campground. The East campsites have access to the lake for swimming near many of the camp sites. The camp site we rented was D07, Loop D; it is in the West side of Juniper Point park, and it has limited access to the water. You would have to navigate huge boulders on a steep cliff-like area to get down to the water. There is a nearby boat ramp within walking distance and a small beach area next to that that is again blocked off by lots of rocks. This is not a good camping spot for swimming or kayaking/paddle boarding. You could not park your boat near your site. It is, however, a GORGEOUS, generously sized RV camping spot with great views of the lake and sunset (we camped in June), a pristine concrete pad with picnic table and fire pit with grilltop that pivots out of the way if needed, nice grassy areas, and partial shade. It feels very private. We will definitely reserve this spot again in the fall. We'll have to go to the East side next time for swimming.

Lovely, level, sizeable sites, each of which has a covered picnic table area. Some waterfront sites have their own little beach. Campground lost a star because the bathroom is a good way away up a hill and is quite dated, but an attendent related that they are scheduled to get new ones down in the campground in 2023.

Nice older Core of Engineers facility. It has an adequate but narrow boat ramp for Lake Texoma access and boats can beach near your RV. Sites have water electric covered table. Dump at entrance and pit toilets $26 a night .
