We reserved site #11 for my birthday weekend Friday - Monday, The grass was too tall & it was not a good fit for our camper so we went on line and got site #2 & we left our discount card at home so we paid full price. Well after getting there and setting up when we plugged in the 30 amp it didn't work so we had to move to a 3rd site #8. There the grass was again too tall, but we didnt want to move again so we stayed until Sunday morning and left a day early after paying 3 nights at 2 different sites. We will not go back to Waxahachie Creek.

We traveled over 1600 miles to visit this site for the 2024 Eclipse. It was everything we had hoped for! The camp hosts were very kind and accommodating and made it a very enjoyable stay. They even ordered up a break in the clouds for us to be able to see the Eclipse!! :-)

There for the eclipse, we enjoyed our camp site by the water. Watching the bluebirds was a highlight. The folks running the campground were very nice and helpful. We had a great experience.

This was the most frustrating experience. I was able to make a reservation on recreation.gov for two nights in April, but it turns out the campground was (and had been for many months) closed. I spoke with no resolution to recreation.gov and COE, but was still charged for the nights. I was even sent a 'How was your stay' email after the dates had passed.

Older park but nice pull through spots. Great views of the lake and decent fishing from shore. Definitely on our list to go back to!!!

Overall, the campgrounds were great, clean, lots of shade, plenty of areas to go fishing. Fishing was great, grandkids caught a few fish, which we cooked and they ate them up.
Only draw-back was that all the bathrooms were closed the whole week-end.

Park roads are in bad shape.
