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.

Interesting drive into the park with our Class A motorhome. But once into the park, we had a beautiful site on the edge of the lake. It was a one-night stop for us; we sure wished we could have stayed longer.

Love the park, they had a lot of work done and it looks great. Clean restrooms and great for swimming. The problem here is a lot of people bring their jet skis and drive them right up next to the sites and run over fishing lines and get too crazy around the families staying. This park needs the day use to be patrolled by game wardens who know the water rules. Other than that the hosts are super friendly and location is great
