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.

Very large park with a gorgeous lake and easy access to the marina. The floor is rocky so we did have a bit of a hard time getting our stakes for our tent into the ground.

The mountain bike trail here is pretty awesome...probably not for beginners like me, but good for more advanced riders! Lots of places to put in a boat if you want to do some fishing or water sports. The camp sites are fine. The lack of electricity and running water means you are "roughing it" compared to some other campgrounds. But overall, the scenery is nice and the trails are good. The water was down in the lake as well, so it was fun to walk around the edge of the lake while it was down.

Small, which is nice when you just want to get away from the day to day hustle and bustle of life. Trees around most campsites for privacy and shade. Close to marine. Just plain pleasant for a small getaway.

We had a wonderful time and it was gorgeous. Us and our neighbor campers all had plenty of space and got along great!
The only negative that happens is when we were leaving someone that worked there came by as we were picking up and questioned us and said we were illegally camping, put our tent in the wrong place, ect. I paid and designed my spot. It was so wonderful until then.

Great views. Was difficult to get the tent set up close to the roofed picnic table area; lots of rocks in the ground. The grill was disassembled so I was unable to use that. Besides that, great area.
