Hog Creek West — Lake Thunderbird State Park

5 ReviewsAdd Review
SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

Reservations are available at Hog Creek West, a drive-in and boat-in campground within Lake Thunderbird State Park, where sites include fire rings, picnic tables, and lantern holders. Electric and water hookups are on-site, a dump station is available, and showers are coin-operated rather than free. The access road has a reputation for being rough, so drivers towing heavier rigs should factor that in. One reviewer reported two bars of LTE on AT&T, which may help campers who need to stay connected.

Sites sit in open terrain close to the lake, with sightlines toward the water that shift noticeably at sunrise and sunset. The layout puts sites fairly close together, and Saturday nights can get loud. Campers have noted active wildlife after dark. Walk-in tent sites are also available and drew positive mentions from visitors who found the drive-in sites too close for comfort. Hog Creek East — Lake Thunderbird State Park and Hickory Hill — Lake Thunderbird State Park are nearby alternatives within the park if Hog Creek West fills up.

Fern B. describes the site as having a "beautiful sunrise and sunset over the lake," which aligns with what others report about the open, lakeside exposure. The visitor center drew favorable comments from at least one camper, and trail access near the campground is within walking distance. More activities, including additional boat launches and trails, are located on the opposite side of the lake. Booking ahead for weekend stays is advisable, particularly in spring and fall when demand picks up.

Very nice under the trees with trails

We stayed here on our way out in December. For visitor center was quite nice and the staff quite friendly. We only stayed for a night but we had enough time to walk the trails close which were very nice. It seems there's more activities on the other side of the lake if that's what you want to do there's trails and multiple places to put in a boat and to tie it up closer to where you would stay.

Great stop

Stayed in site 27 for one night passing through. Last minute stop and several sites available. Beautiful sunrise and sunset over the lake. Sites close together and a bit loud, but we were there on a Saturday night. Walk-in tent sites looked great.

Worked for the night in a pinch

Was passing through the area and needed a place to land since I couldn’t find any BLM out this way. I paid $16 for a tent site at Hog campground, which had a fire ring and picnic table. Pulled in at night so it took me a while to find it but all tables note the campsite which helped. Bathrooms were meh, but worked. Didn’t use the showers but they aren’t free. They are quarter showers. Clean site and felt safe. Had 2 bars of LTE AT&T service.
