Really nice function hall, bathrooms look good and the showers have good shower heads. The sites are well spaced but not much shade. Nicely covered picnic table and a fire pit. There are a couple of nice walks around the lake
A small park with ceveral trails. We did the Roadrunner trail - it was very well maintained and clearly marked. The views were nice, but nothing spectacular. The water levels are low, and sadly, the power plant dominates the views from most Vista points. PS: plenty of wildlife here, so be careful!
A very nice Campground for a couple nights. There are water and electric sites up to 50amp for RV's. There are electric only also. We saw lots of wildlife while visiting including prairie dogs, rabbit, snakes, all kinds of cool bugs. Had a great hike on the trails there. Even though it was about 100° outside. Not much else around but a great place to stop and have some peace and quiet.
Stayed there for one night only. Campground is great, with some trails around the lake. The next day we went to the beach area had breakfast and swam in the lake, beautiful! Texas state parks are, in general, pretty well organized and with good signs within the park. This one was no exception. Highly recommend it!
Enjoyed our Thanksgiving stay there. We rented one of the cabins. Got away from phone service and just relaxed. Cabins were nice and well cared for and clean. Grounds around the cabin sites were well maintained. Only a few other campers were in the area so it was quite. Which was nice and what we needed to get away from town for awhile. The park has heated restrooms with showers which could use a little TLC but mostly was clean and fully operational. Noticed that one toilet needs some repair it was leaking from the base but was still operational. Weather was nice Thanksgiving day and cooked over coal fire in traditional cast iron a simple meal. Watched the sandhill crane flyover and listen to their calls. Sat out that night and viewed the stars. Fished a little while. But didn't catch anything. But really wasn't expecting to. Wrong time of day. But gave me the ability to just sit and spin cast out a line and relax for a while which is all I really wanted to do anyway. Even if anything did bite I would have just thrown it back in the lake. Very enjoyable holiday weekend. It was the off season though so some of the park needed ground keep work. Some areas normally mowed were overgrown. But those were areas close to the boat ramp and in the cold months isn't used. We just drove around and surveyed these areas and didn't really get out of the car. Just wanted to look around a bit. We did hike a short trail and saw some nice terrain. But the trails do need a little more development. They appear to be sort of in the beginning stages. Sometimes the trail can't be differentiated from a natural void or animal trail. But it seems to have a good start. But they do need a little more work. Overall we had a good relaxing time. Attempted to post a short video with the audio of the sandhill crane flyover and their calls. But I don't know if the video works or not. Sorry not a pro at this but I tried.
Keeping in mind we are in a desert. The lake is really nice. The birds are everywhere. Took me awhile to get used to them but it’s cool how many types there are. Rangers are friendly. Power lines are on the North end of tent camping. Not a big fan but now I know. Showers were cold but it keeps me young and vigor. Haha. Check it out. I enjoyed. Update: The last day the shower was warm. Setting was in the middle. Have to find the sweet spot.
Stopped in overnight on our way West. Love the Texas state parks, always a great place to stay and for a very reasonable price. Clean park, friendly staff at check-in, very level camp site. Really quiet here today - a lot more space than usual
It was a beautiful stopping place as we travelled across Texas. It is close to the highway but far enough to be quiet. As it was January, there were only a few sites being used so reservations were not needed. We chose a loop with power and water. The temperature was below freezing one night and the water tap and our hose were frozen in the morning. We should have turned off the tap and drained our hose at night. The first site we tried had quite a slope from front to back and we had trouble getting our 5 th wheel off the truck. We moved to a pull through site but needed to raise one side quite alot on the paved surface. A dump station was available as well. The bathrooms were sparkling clean and heated. The shower had lots of hot water. The park is large but the roads were nice for bike riding. The day use area by the boat launch had so many covered tables and grills.
We were caught in a snow storm and barely slid into this park. We found a camp host that said to pull in a site across from her. We were so thankful for that! We were stuck there for 2 days and not able to do much but we were safe and warm. The campsites are fairly spacious but there isn't much vegetation in between so not a lot of privacy. The lake is good sized and there is a large boat ramp.
We stayed here overnight on our way through Texas. Sites were great. View was pretty. Bathrooms were very clean and included showers. No sewer hookups, but they do have a dump station. We’d definitely stay here again.
