Clean, beautiful shelter, full hook ups, helpful camp host!
We rented two campsites and the shelter this past weekend. The campsites are large and very clean. The trees aren't mature yet, but it wasn't an issue for us. The shelter is very nice and overlooks Dakins Lake. The camp host was very responsive and helpful.
Nice city park
Decent fishing. Quiet campers. 2 campgrounds, newer one with modern facilities, no trees. Other side of park is older one, with mature trees, portable toilets, power, water, 15 or so sites. Close to i35, but not to close. Make reservations, facilities this good are full by Friday.
Small newer campground with small lake
The camp sites are good sized. There are full hookups, electric only and primitive sites available. Nice shower house, restrooms, playground, hiking, biking, fishing or just hanging out. Zearing does have a small gas station/convenience store, the closest grocery store is about ten miles away so come prepared!
Unfortunately being a newer campground there are no established trees for shade, we found the best spots are on the south side where the camper door faces east. As the trees mature this campground will just keep getting better.
Some of the sites are reservable online.
