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.

I had to ask for refund because when I pulled up park was closed due to Lake being to low, luckily White Flint Park up the street had a slot still available. Now when the Water Level is what it is supposed to be Winkler Park is really nice just this time was not possitive due to having to ask for refund due to gate being locked and closed after paying on recreation.gov not actual Park itself. Like I said I've drove through when Water was normal level and parked looked awesome and dude secured Park well too.
