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.

Very Nice Park. One of the few on Belton Lake where you can camp on the water and beach your boat in front of your campsite. Will definitely return !

The best place to stay in Central Texas. The lower sites all are pull thru and face the water. What a great view to wake up to. Be sure and boat or kayak over to the water fall and feel its ice cold water on your back. The staff is friendly and helpful and the place is kept clean and well maintained
