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.

This campground is so peaceful and a beautiful place to stay, especially considering the price. Bring your own shower tent and a camp toilet, but for the price, and the views, and the quiet and peacefulness, it's definitely worth it. I'd definitely recommend camping here.

We stayed at site #28 at Hippy Point in Murrell Park. The site has a lovely view of the inlet. I was worried the boats from the nearby marina would be a distraction, but the whole inlet is a no wake zone, so it was very quiet. The toilets are close by car, but are just pit toilets, so pack hand sanitizer! The ground was very hard, so you'll need a hammer for your tent stakes. We had a great time taking our inflatable paddle board out on the water. There's a small little beach that works great for a put in site. Would be fine for kayaks, too. The site had a fire pit and grate, covered picnic table and a nice tree for shade.

There are no bathrooms very close to the campsite. You have to drive or walk a pretty good way to get to it. A porta potty next to the campsite would be nice.

Best tent/car camping site in DFW. The workers at the gate are extremely nice and informative. The views are phenomenal and it’s very relaxing out here on Hippy Point. My husband and I plan to come back quite often.

Kids had a blast, but the trash at our site was a real let down. We camped at site 29 on Oct 16, 2021. We picked up so much trash left behind by other campers and park staff. I didn’t intend to complain publicly, but the listed park phone rings at the ACE office. They claim no responsibility for the campground. I stopped by the gate house when we left Saturday mid morning, and no one was there.

Close to Lake Grapevine and very quiet at night. Trees for shade, a pretty location. Fellow campers were polite.

Campsite was well kept, in a beautiful area right off the lake. Good hiking trails, but were very busy with bicyclists on Saturday morning. Park was very easy to get to, and located close to town so you can pick up anything you may have forgotten!
