Within the Army Corps of Engineers' Lavon Recreation Area, Collin Park provides lakeside camping with drive-in access. The campground has experienced erosion issues that have reduced the number of available tent sites, with several areas having fallen into the lake according to recent visitors.
Each remaining campsite includes a picnic table, grill, and fire pit under tree coverage. Central restrooms feature showers, though maintenance can be inconsistent. At $25 per night, the park offers basic amenities including trash service and cell coverage. Campers can access East Fork Park Campground nearby for additional lakeside options. The location works well for quick trips despite the reduced site availability.
