The state park is a drive (20 minutes) from the highway. Park signs are not the best, so a camp map would be good to have. We reserved a spot on the waters edge. Spaces there are not level, even with blocks used. It is quiet, tree filled, and sunsets and morning sun do make it nice. Only water and power at site. The dump station is on the way out of park.

Always has been and always will be one of my favorite parks. Plenty of camping sites, always friendly staff, and the water... just... yeah... the water. My only real complaint is the lack of good hiking. There are only two trails and really only one (Two Bridges) is worth it (to me) as the other is more of a walk through a neighbor's field back home that could be found anywhere. The restroom areas are always clean, the park itself is wonderfully maintained, and the camp site areas vary enough that anyone will be able to find one that will fit their needs.

I've been camping here since I was a kid. We go with the Scouts now and it's just a nice as it was back then. Its just fast enough from DFW to feel like you're getting away but closer enough to get there after work with enough time to get your tent set up before dark.

Screened in cabins were affordable, clean, and convenient for the rainy weather. Would recommend a bring your own, padlock, water hose, surge protector, fan and wood for onsite grill & the fire pit. Restrooms were clean in most areas. Also had stalls and showers. Complimentary life vest were at all water entry areas for safety 👍🏾.

The lake is huge and has plenty of spots to park yourself and enjoy the views. If you are feeling adventurous, there are several areas where you can jump off the bluffs and enjoy the cool waters. There are designated boat ramps to enjoy the lake if you have water sports toys like jet-skis and boats. The are where we were at had restrooms but unfortunately it was locked. The area could definitely also use trash/ recycle bins as there were plenty of cans and bottles lying around. The terrain is rocky so it is best to wear water shoes to prevent any injuries.
