    Soldiers at Fort Richardson protected settlers along the Texas frontier. Today, you can walk in the footsteps of those soldiers. But you can also camp and explore the countryside they protected on foot, bike or horseback.

    Stay overnight at a cabin or campsite. Restrooms with showers are in the park. Reserve the group camp for a gathering of friends or family.

    The park has five campsites for horseback riders next to the trailway.

    Trails Twelve miles of trails are open to all users – hikers, bikers and horseback riders.Fishing Try your luck fishing at two lakes! You do not need a fishing license to fish from shore or pier in a state park.

    Quarry Lake is behind park headquarters. TPWD stocks the lake with bass, catfish and (in winter months) trout.

    At North Park, you can fish Lake Jacksboro from the shore or launch a kayak (you’ll need a fishing license to fish from a boat). This park has a restroom (no shower) and water-only campsites.

    Swimming Take your family to North Park to swim in Lake Jacksboro. The park has a sand beach, covered tables, water spigots and restrooms (no showers). We do not have lifeguards. Read through our swimming safety tips before your visit.

    Geocaching Search for geocaches hidden across the park. Learn more on our Geocaching page, then hit the trail! The nine-mile (one-way) Lost Creek Reservoir Trailway winds along scenic Lost Creek and the shores of two lakes. It ends at our north park.

    Very nice no frills

    We pulled in at 10:30 pm but very easy to park in pull through spot. Clean, flat, gravel spots with electric and water. Put $15 in an envelope as required. Will definitely stay here again when we head this way.

    What a dump

    My bad for not looking harder. I heard about Texas lakes and wanted to camp near one. This place is a pile of junk. Low water pressure. Trash everywhere. No picnic table. Looks like a lot of losers moved in there; grass growing over their sewer lines. Ferrell cats…. The list goes on.

    However the bar and store were cute with ice cold AC and apparently ice cold beer.

    Fort Richardson State Park Hist. Site and Trailway

    History and Lodging

    The entire park was well maintained. The restrooms and showers were modern, neat and clean. The historical site was closed for tours on the day that we stayed, but we were able to walk around the site and visit buildings. The signs on the outside of the structures were very informative and we were able to peek in the windows to experience life during those times.

    Our stay in Site 41 was perfect for solitude and comfort.  No bright lights from other RVs. There was only 1 other RV in this section. The partially shaded site had electricity and water.  It is located quite a distance from the restroom/shower area.

    This campground offers fun, history and camping all in one place!

    Pretty run down and amenities not accurate:

    THERE ARE NO SHOWERS OR FLUSH TOILETS INCLUDED IN THIS STAY ACCORDING TO CITY WORKERS…when we arrived I went into the building to check out showers and a lady asked me what I was doing then informed the showers are for paid pool goers and there are vault toilets by the rv dump site, but they were locked. The sites are all covered in hitchhiker burrs, our dog found them all haha. The sites have water hookups but they’re in-ground and several are washed out so almost impossible to hook to without getting mud in your hose.

    Great stop!

    Easily accessible about 5 miles off the interstate. We arrived late after 11pm, owner opened the gate and directed us to our site. Pad was level and hookups well placed. Took off early the next morning, free ice was a nice bonus!

    Also noticed this would have been cheaper to book through roadtrippers

    Very remote

    Remote dispersed. Great camping for north central Texas. The sites are a good distance between them. You can drive along the roads and look for them. We spotted 22 sites, there may be more. Download maps before getting here. Cell is not the best. No bathrooms, water, etc. Pack in/pack out. Downloadable hiking maps availability on other apps. Only saw 3 other cameras while we were here. Great hiking.

    Plateau — Lake Mineral Wells State Park

    Big spots and clean bathhouses

    Two last nights we got here all the way from Carlsbad Canyon at 9 pm ,park closes at 10 pm. It was a long drive to get there and when son showed us out in the lake , what it looked like then we shaked heads and said are You sure ? It had rained a lot before we got there and the lake was floating over the road by the dam drive over,it was rather scary .

    Lots of trails to walk in area, but because of this massive rain its not possible to walk over by the dam,just to be aware if it. 

    We got lots of sun next day and had a good time walking around at the campground, we took a tour into town ,nice little town to walk around in some intersting stores there.

    We saw lots of birds and turtels in the lake.

    We had a lakeview from the oppsite of the road.
