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.

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.

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.

Always a great place to visit, both day use areas and permit campsites are always spotless.
Extremely helpful staff also, and well patrolled by Park Rangers and local police. Highly recommend camping there, just don't cut down anything- that's a big no-no.
And remember...
Nobody else comes out here to listen to you or your music, have a little respect for others.

My spouse and I reserved the site for two nights. We were not told by anyone that we could not leave any items left at the site unattended, why would I pack up only to unpack. That does not make any sense! When we returned to our site the three items we left were gone and when we inquired about the site at the office our items were NOT in lost&found. The employee had to contact a volunteer who advised our items were located on a cart somewhere else. However not all items were returned, the tent that we left attached to the picnic table was never returned. And how do you leave a large plastic container, ice chest, and tent scattered. They were left on or next to the picnic table. Worst camping experience EVER. And we did not stay the 2nd night knowing a volunteer could walk up and take anything and claim it was abandoned.

I used this park as a stop over during a "thru-hike" of the North Shore Trail, and it was a great site with lots of space, some trees, and a covered picnic table. There are two things you should note. First is that the sites are right across from the marina which have lights that stay on all night. I was hoping for a woodsy vibe, that was not quite delivered. Second is that it's a little bit of walk off the North Shore Trail, so if you're like me, prepare to walk along the road a bit to get to camp.

Beautiful seen but the spot had such hard limestone surrounding that you would need a extra cushion to sleep on this ground in a tent. Also the covers were missing all of their shingles and decking rotted so when it rained all of pinch stuff got soaked.
