About Waxahachie Ck
Waxahachie Creek Park is on the western shore of Bardwell Lake, less than an hour south of the Dallas-Fort Worth area in north-central Texas. City-dwellers frequent the park's campground and day-use area to enjoy outdoor activities without going far from home.
The lake has favorable fish and wildlife habitats, providing plenty of opportunities for fishing and hunting, and great locations for camping, boating and hiking. Deer, armadillo, rabbit, squirrel and a variety of bird species inhabit the area.

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.

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.

We traveled over 1,600 mi 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!! :-)
