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.

I really liked the park staff. They kept people that were not supposed to be there out and were very nice.

The staff are wonderful there! They make you feel like they care for you. Being a primitive park they now keep the grounds up on the sites to help. The only things I feel could be done is having some sort of light that goes on at night in the bathrooms and they are cleaned weekly. There lots of deer, birds, and other animals to enjoy watching. Hiking trails for those who enjoy and lots of people on bicycles. The staff, Park Rangers, and local police who patrol the Park makes one feel safe even if all alone in park. One of my favorite places!

Beautiful park, clean facilities with all the necessities. Life the proximity to northshore MTB trail, especially a section of the trail that is so family friendly. Twin coves is great but that side of the trail is too technical for my kids. We had a great time!

I took my 2 girls (7 & 9) for one night and they loved it. We have been to Murrell/Hippy point 3 times and it’s always fun exploring the lake shore. It’s nice to have a covered picnic table, fire pit and charcoal grill. There are plenty of activities ( kayaking, standup paddle boarding, etc) to do around the lake, but we usually just play near the camp site. Will definitely visit again since it’s close to home in Euless.

I’m pretty sad to make such a bad review for such a beautiful place. I’ve grown up on Lake Grapevine! So this was special for me to take my kids on a camping trip. From day 1 of reserving my spot at the lake I’ve had issues with no one calling me back to help me on their (help) line. I’ve left messages and still no one has responded. It’s now the 17th and it’s been from the 9th. No help! They also won’t tell you that the Marina has workers who start drilling LOUDY at 6:00am ON A HOLIDAY when they can see theirs a ton of tents directly across from the dock that they are working on. Of course we made it work and made memories, and the only good thing about the management of the park, is the front lady and her sweet dog Luna. That’s it.
