RangerPretty Cool Spot for a Weekend Camping Trip
We spent a weekend here with the in-laws, in site 51. It had been raining a lot, so things were pretty muddy, but all in all it was a pretty nice park.
Lots of trails to explore, and a few geocaches. If you like boating or fishing, this park would be great for you.
Site 51 was pretty secluded and level.

LegendNice, quiet, uncrowded campground
Arrived late, office closed. Confused by all of the red "reserved" signs throughout the campground- even thoug8h there were hardly any campers there. Too late to make an online reservation for the night. Sites 1 thru 4 are available for late arrivals; only one stays are allowed. Paid for site 4 at self pay station. Then changed to site 21 the next morning which is closer to the restroom, and paid in the office. $20 per per site, plus $5 per day per person for a day use fee (which annoyed me). Campground is clean & well maintained. Sites are not close together and have some shade. Concrete pad for parking an RV, plus a tent pad. Fire ring, table, light pole, water & electric included. Easy access to Lake Towakani, which is a typical north Texas man made lake. Nice hiking trails. Clean restroom/shower facilities. Lots of deer.
