About Murrell Park

Murrell Park offers day use facilities, boat ramp access and primitive camping on scenic Grapevine Lake, in the middle of the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex in Texas. The lake has become a premier recreation destination for the Southwest and offers some of the best camping, fishing and boating in Texas. This facility is open year-round, but particularly in hot summer months, the cool water provides a refreshing break from the Texas heat.

We had Site #33. The campsite is almost on the lake, we didn't have to hike our stuff in, about 15 feet from where we parked to the picnic table. There were trees around our table but someone had encroached on our spot and took the shade so we set up in an open area. Turns out the encroachers were abandoned tents that the Park Ranger later came and dismantled. The volunteer staff were very nice and helpful. Park Ranger was nice too. Access to the lake was ok for fishing, not swimming. The price was right at $10 per night. Although the site says no water or bathrooms there was a porta potty and a water spigot. So that was nice surprise. Also there are mountain biking trails running throughout the park. We didn't know that so had left bikes at home. Maybe next time. We booked two nights but only spent one night cause it was 90+ degrees with humidity and so sleeping was unbearable. We spent 24 hours there and except for the heat it was great place. Will plan to go back in cooler weather with bikes.

It is really loud there. The marina is really busy. Not really a peaceful nature experience.
