About Westcliff

Westcliff Park is a day-use area and campground located on the southwestern shore of Belton Lake. The lake provides some of the best fishing and boating in Central Texas in addition to amenities such as a swimming beach, boat ramp, playground and picnic areas for RVs and tents, including four tent-only primitive sites. Belton Lake was created by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers with the construction of Belton Dam in 1954. The 12,300-acre lake is located on the Leon River, just upstream of the confluence of the Leon River and the Little River. It is a long, narrow and winding lake with many curves and coves perfect for fishing.

Twice while we were there for 4 days, the gate into the area where we camp, was broken, leaving us with no security. It’s bad enough to not have anyone at the entrance gate, but we would feel safer if the gate to the camping area was secure. Please fix it and have it fixed sooner when it is out of commission.

Westcliff needs a dog park for our pups to run! That field between the restrooms and the sites would be a perfect place to put one. Just a little chain link fencing with a gate would be so nice.

I was apprehensive about this place. We were looking to stay at a state park, but they were all booked for spring break. We took a group of fathers and sons from our church. We booked the four primitive campsites. They were amazing. The covered picnic tables looked brand new. Each one had a firepit and a charcoal grill. They are right on the lake. There were rock formations for the kids to climb on, and great fishing. It was cold and the host brought us firewood, and checked on us each day. The staff was extremely helpful and hospitable. It is also only 8 minutes from miller springs park, so we were able to do some great camping. Grass was mowed and well maintained. I would highly recommend.

Very nice level sites with covered picnic table and fire pit. Bathrooms were clean and well kept, plenty of dumpsters that were easily accessible, and the grounds were well kept.
