Spot 67 is wide open plenty of space and great view of the lake. There is no trees on this spot. Spot was clean and well maintained. Book this spot when temps are not in the 90+ range.

Everything was clean and in good repair. The staff was friendly (AJ). He seemed to care for the property and the fauna and flora.

We stay here frequently, in multiple different sites, and have been camping here for 20+ years. We normally have a great time, but our last 2 trips, specifically with this park host have been less than enjoyable.
For this specific trip, we had ongoing electrical issues (the entire park did) and no notice or estimated time of repair was provided by the park host. When we determined that everyone was experiencing issues, my husband went to notify the park host who responded by stating he was aware and that our area was experiencing rolling blackouts (we were not) and that this happens every 4th of July. (It does not.)
We camp here at nearly every major holiday and also live in Bell County, so we know that his statements were not factually correct and Oncor did not show any outages…
We also witnessed the park host chasing a severely injured whitetail fawn on his ATV. At the time we assumed he was trying to help it, but what he was actually doing was pushing it towards the water. An hour later, we found it, on the side of the boat ramp literally being eaten alive by buzzards. We contacted the game warden seeking assistance after discovering this.

Beautiful park very well kept the park host and volunteers are constantly cleaning sites when people check out there is no trash on the grounds and was well maintained and fresh mowed.
