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.

I called 5 days before the reservation date to cancel a spot and I had no response. I didn't use the Tent-2 and wanted to reschedule but I couldn't do it because of the application. I don't want a refund, I want to be rescheduled since I didn't use the Tent-2 on June 13

Westcliff is extremely nice since they have redone with concrete. I love that most sites are right on the water. If we have ever had an issue it was taken seriously and was handled quickly. I highly recommend this campsite and park for even just a day trip.

As a disabled Vet. I found the park to extermally quite and very clean. Loved the fact there was two garbage cans by every camp site. This is the first time that I have camped at Westcliff park and told my wife that I would camp there again. Usually I camp at Dana Peak. I truly enjoyed my stay there.

We were at campsite 19 it was a nice spot but we did not have access to the lake without walking through someone else's camp that would be the only issue with that spot other that'll that it was beautiful

The campground was very clean, the bathrooms were cleaned daily. The camp hosts were very friendly and did a great job managing and maintaining the facilities. Everything was newly renovated. We had a relaxing trip and especially loved how close our spot was to the shoreline. Our kids were able to swim in the water all day long because of the campsite proximity to the water. Tip: bring water shoes, like all other Texas lakes, it is rocky and quite painful to walk around the shore without shoes on.

A very nice spot. We saw deer, road runners, and scissor-tailed flycatchers. There was a very friendly host as well.
