About Winkler Park

Winkler Park is a small, primitive campground on the northern shore of Belton Lake in Central Texas. This park does not have electricity, but does have water hookups at each site, paved back-in sites, and a central water bourne restroom with flush toilets, sinks, and showers. There are 14 sites available for RVs and tents and a day use area. Truly sink into nature in the peaceful park full of wildlife and beautiful sunset/sunrise views!  This park is seasonal, and will close Nov 1st - February 28th. Belton Lake was created by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers with the construction of Belton Dam in 1954. The 12,300-acre lake is located on the Leon River, just upstream of the confluence of the Leon River and the Little River. Belton Lake is a long, narrow and winding lake with many curves and coves, providing some of the best camping, fishing, and boating in Central Texas.

We found the booking to be easy. The park to be clean and well kept as well as well, stocked. The bathrooms were clean the park hosts where helpful and polites.We only had one complaint and it was that we did not catch any fish while we were there. Not a major issue, not even a bad thing. We still had an absolute blast.And we'll definitely be returning for future camping endeavors.

This place never disappoints. Park hosts are friendly and are make sure guests/campers adhere to camp rules. I love this because it prevents rowdy groups and activities from stirring up chaos. I have seen witnessed on several occasions the camp hosts step in to quiet down a group -- and with friendly tact at that. They are great people and keep that place in too top condition!
