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.

The staff was friendly and helpful in making your stay fun and what i needed.
The camping area was kept clean. It was a beautiful view of lake with the boats going by. I loved watching so many fishing out on lake. Next time I want to fish. Thanks to the Park Rangers for all their help and to the camp hosts!

The place is pretty but, when we arrived, people were occupying both spots we had rented. One guy was sitting eating lunch at the covered picnic table with his dog and left without much hassle and pretty quickly. The other site had a large tent set up and took the people about an hour to take it down. They also left a mess of onion peels and other trash on the picnic table.

Then, before we got even set up, we had a cop show up and accuse us of smoking weed. Even said he didn't smell anything but that didn't stop him from walking around the campsite looking for a reason to get his dog out of the truck.

Had multiple people walking through our campsite to get to the lake.
Had a couple people claim they were renting it the following night and ask if they could set up tents by us.

Then there was the guy with the boat with the loud engine (open headers) that was driving around the lake at 2am and 3 am and 4 am...

We wont be back.
