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.

Very nice campground and a beautiful setting. We had just a little trouble connecting to the electricity as the 30 amp was not working, but luckily we could use the 50 amp connection. We did report this to the managers of the campground so I do believe everything would be fine. We had a great spot right on the lake and it was very quiet and peaceful.

The campground is in dire need of repair. Many of the sites had roofs that were falling in. The roads were full of potholes. There was a homeless man living at one of the campsites and had trash all over the place.

We always have a good time camping at Waxahachie Creek. It always has friendly host, it is quite and the camping spots are nearly all shaded.
We just wish it was still open all year instead of April through September.
