Oak Thicket Park
Overview
Overview
Oak Thicket Park is a serene retreat managed by the Lower Colorado River Authority. Situated on the shores of Lake Fayette, this park offers a blend of natural beauty and outdoor recreation. It is known for its towering oak trees that provide ample shade for campers. Whether you are looking for a weekend fishing trip or a quiet escape into nature, this park provides a well-maintained environment for RVers seeking a lakeside experience in rural Texas.
Location & Surroundings
Nestled in the rolling hills of Fayette County, the park is located just a short drive from the historic town of Fayetteville, TX. The landscape is dominated by the expansive waters of Lake Fayette and the dense groves of post oaks that give the park its name. The area feels secluded and peaceful, offering a break from the hustle of city life while remaining accessible to major hubs like Austin and Houston.
Amenities & Park Features
The park features RV sites with water and electricity, providing a comfortable setup for most rigs. Essential facilities include:
- Clean restrooms and hot showers
- A multi-lane boat ramp
- A dedicated fishing pier
- Covered picnic pavilions
For those traveling without an RV, there are also cabins and tent sites available. Families often enjoy the on-site playground and cleaning stations designed to support a successful day on the water.
Nearby Attractions & Things to Do
Fishing is the primary draw here, as Lake Fayette is a premier destination for largemouth bass. Beyond the water, guests can explore miles of multi-use trails perfect for hiking and birding. A short trip into Fayetteville reveals a charming historic town square filled with local art and antique shops. The famous Round Top Antiques Fair is also a popular nearby destination for those visiting during the spring or fall show seasons.
Who This Park Is Best For
This park is ideal for nature lovers and anglers who prefer a quiet, scenic environment over a high-activity resort. It is a fantastic choice for families looking for a safe, outdoor-oriented getaway where kids can bike and play. Because of its proximity to Round Top, it also serves as a peaceful home base for antique hunters looking to avoid the crowds while staying close to the action.

Have camped there many times over the years. Since new management the campgrounds have been cleaned out (brush), docks upgraded/repaired. Very nice place to stay and very reasonably priced.
Be Yourself Beautiful
We drove down from Colorado and camped here for a few days. We had our vehicle breakdown on property and ended up needing a tow out but the whole staff was very helpful. We had a super sweet kid (Roman) I think was their name help us out with anything we needed. Definitely look forward to visiting again!
