Description

US Army Corps of Engineers

Navarro Mills Lake

Overview

Liberty Hill Park is located on the southern shore of Navarro Mills Lake in central Texas. Visitors can enjoy a view of the lake from the facility and participate in popular outdoor actives like camping, boating, fishing and picnicking. The lake area provides the perfect setting to get away from it all, especially for city-dwellers from the nearby Dallas-Fort Worth metro area.

Recreation

Birdwatching is a favorite year-round pastime for lake guests. Many species of songbirds, hawks, great blue herons, ducks, geese, other shorebirds and even an occasional bald eagle visit the area. Fishing is also popular at Navarro Mills, and the lake holds the current state record for white crappie. Fishermen come from near and far to sample some of the best crappie fishing anywhere. 2 multi-lane boat ramps, a fishing pier, and marina are available within Liberty Hill Park. There are also healthy populations of channel and yellow catfish, and hefty hybrid stripers are often caught below the dam when water is being released. Swimming is available at the designated swim beach from April 1- September 30 for day users and year round for registered campers. No lifeguard on duty and swimming is at your own risk. Life Jackets are available to borrow from the gatehouse.

Natural Features

Liberty Hill is also a favorite viewing area for wildflowers. The brilliant array of native flowers draws visitors from all over to the lake area during the spring. Bluebonnets, paintbrushes and a myriad of other native plants transform the often-bleak winter landscape into an incredible palette of colors. A wide variety of habitat provides a home and abundant food supply to diverse wildlife. Visitors might stumble across squirrels, rabbits, coyotes, foxes, bobcats, white-tailed deer, raccoon or armadillo.

Nice stopover

The park was really nice. The sites were spaced apart well but not very level. Our site backed up to the lake. We only stayed overnight while traveling. The price was great with a NP Access pass. Had water and 30amp electric. Park had an RV dump. Quiet and very family friendly.

Beautiful location

The park sites are beautiful. The lake is beautiful. The signage and routing are substandard. Very confusing and the turns are extremely tight. I do not recommend people with motorhome over 40 feet come here. That’s why I give this 4 out of 5 stars

Lovely setting, clean

There are ample spots, very spread out—although there is not any kind of screening between sights. Covered picnic tables and fire rings, big boat launch and lovely views of the lake.

Great water front sites

Another great COE park with beautiful waterfront sites with large covered picnic tables. We were only here one night so we didn’t explore the park very much. But the sunsets were amazing.

Summer spot

Lots of clean campsites with improved fire rings and concrete tables. There are full RV hookups and covered awnings at sites. There are plenty of showers, both pit and modern toilets, shared bathrooms, and private bathrooms. There are everal Beach areas with sand and awnings, covered playgrounds, and boat ramps. This is a pretty popular campground, so if you're looking for isolated this is probably not your spot. Bring bug spray, buy your firewood in Corsicana or Waco as there isn't any wood in Dawson. You can collect deadfall to burn.

Really Nice Campground, BUT my God the ants!

Liberty hill is a very beautiful campground but there is a serius issue with the invasive Argentian ant. This is a great campground to spend a few days or weeks relaxing and catching fish. Lake Navarro Mills is well know as the best Crappie fishing lake in Texas. Navarro Mills Liberty Hill Park features a fantastic fishing barge that is covered allowing you to fish no matter the weather. Our visit to Liberty Hill Park at Navarro Mills Lake was a real treat with one minor exception, Argentine Ants, these can be a real issue when RV camping at Liberty Hill Park as this invasive species is out of control at Liberty Hill Park.

Escape from the City

Spaces are close, water pressure is very low, grass was tall when we got here but it was cut while we were here. Ants are bad, Argentine ants are very bad because there small once there in your car you just take them everywhere.

Great, family friendly park

Was pleasantly surprised at this Corp of Engineers park. Extremely clean grounds and super friendly staff. Allows pets ( on leash of course). Our site had power and electric only, but I believe some sites also have sewer. We had a great view over the lake, although no water access.
