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.

Bathrooms were disgusting and not even working lights to see by at night. No Ranger to stop the party going on several sites over. Party didn’t stop till 5:30 A.M. Could be nice place but this was first time here and won’t be back.

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.
