Very calm and peaceful. Grass was a little high but usually they mow it. Water was nice and crisp at the swimming hole. Boats were out and everyone was BBQing.

While the kiosk was not working, the park was still pretty nice. I would be cautious with bank fishing in certain areas as you are prone to snags. The boat ramp is well maintained, and there are lots of great fishing spots not too far from the ramp. We ran into a very friendly woman with her dogs and just had an all-around nice day on the lake. There was a decent amount of trash. Please clean up after yourselves.

Great location in proximity to Dallas, Rockwall is a nearby city with lots of eating and shopping options and only 10-15 minutes away. Campground has spacious sites with full hookups but isn’t maintained very well (mowing). This location is VERY quiet if you’re looking for a peaceful quiet campground.

We’ve been camping for years, and our favorite parks tend to be Texas State Parks, which tend to have great amenities, updated fixtures, and quality roadways & camping pads. This park is definitely NOT a Texas State Park. Not just because it’s a Corps of Engineers park, but because the differences are definitely notable. Although the views are masterpieces and the volume of people sparse, this park needs a LOT of TLC. We camped in site 31, which was fairly flat, however we still had to do a fair amount of leveling in our camper. The site itself was nice, including sewer and a standard 20/30 amp connection, plus water. The roadway within the park is uneven and has several broken areas, so be mindful as you make your way to your campsite. The day use areas are questionable at best. In the area we visited, there are 2 picnic pavilions that have literally eroded into the lake. The bathroom facility near the same area is also abandoned and reminiscent of a horror film. Amenities are light, which isn’t a major issue. There’s lots of room to bring your own activities and enjoy the park, and fishing is a must. All-in-all, this is a park we’ll probably be back to, but mainly because of it’s proximity to the DFW area, and because of the quiet atmosphere. If not for those things, we’d definitely be looking for a Texas State Park rather than this one.
