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 camp was well maintained and quiet. I enjoyed my stay! Only real complaint was no light in the restrooms, but it is supposed to be primitive camping, so I understand that. Thank you!

My son and I love the park. It’s always clean and the new restrooms are much closer to the campsites. The staff are friendly and the park rangers are active making sure no one is staying in the campgrounds that shouldn’t be. My son and dog love swimming here and watching the sail boats come out of the marina.
