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 pit toilets smelled bad the first night. We were gone all the next day and when we came back, they smelled even worse. Bring your own toilet paper in case they run out. We arrived at night on a holiday and there wasn’t any. Otherwise, it was a nice camp ground. Not sure how it is when all the sites are full. I guess because of the cold people canceled because when I booked the site, they were all full. We’ll likely try it again and maybe bring our own bucket toilet or something to avoid the pit toilets.

There was some trash like empty beer cans and empty pizza boxes strewn all over the campsite. When night fell there was screaming and yelling from people that were camping across the cove from us.

Besides that camping site had a beautiful view and we really enjoyed ourselves.

Was unable to set up on the site as it is on a high ridge without cover and the wind coming off the lake was too strong to allow me to make a camp.
