Went to Ennis TX and stayed at the COE Waxahachie Creek on Bardwell Lake. It just opened back up after being closed for a few years. They need to close it back down again and have contractors come in and modernize it. Looks like they installed new water lines. But the areas around the sites need to be mowed and reworked to make it more level and make it easier to get campers in and out of especially with slides, very tight turns. The electric needs to be gone through and fixed. Two of our sites and another family had issues with power and had to move. The back up sites had worn out 30 amp outlets had to use 50 amp adapter. The gate host were nice and tried to help us find new spots to move to. Also one site played music loud till after midnight
Told the camp host about it, later found out from another camper that it was the.camp host drunk adult son. Still was playing it loud the next night. Would be a great camp ground if it was brought up to speed. Checked out the other camp ground on the lake (High View and Mott) were better but the sites were short and not level for the most part. Went there to see the Blue Bonnets and attend the festival in Ennis. Which was worth the trip. Want to come back to the festival next year but will look for somewhere else to stay unless the problems are fixed. Would look for other options to camp out in the area.

We stayed April 11th through the 14th spot 58. When we arrived he guy at front said we may need to look at it first due to someone getting stuck the day before. We looked and said lets look at another open spot. So we moved to spot 2 well no electricity. So back to 58 to see if we could make it work cuz we do have a 30 ft motorhome. Thanks to the guy in front to help us back it in. Then we had to go to store to get wasp spray due to the awning was covered with wasp. The guy up front said he would talk to the head person for a future discount. Hopefully next time we come back which is ( May 10th through the 12th for Mother's Day weekend spots 56,57,58)the grass would be cut and the bathrooms are cleaned and fixed. It's a fun place just minor things that could be kept up.

I had the pleasure of staying here 3 night of which only one was planned. The camp host were great. Upon learning I was new to towing they suggested I practice backing into any of the open sites which I did. That helped me a lot. A big thank you to them.
I stayed in site 4 twice and site 2 once!
I will come back again as it was really beautiful!

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.
