    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.

      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!

      Isle du Bois — Ray Roberts Lake State Park

      This is a fairly big camping area, lots of campsites near the lake

      The campground is nice and well maintained and sites are well spaced with lots of grass, trees and/or open areas. The park staff were very friendly and helpful. This was our second stay in site 78, this time for 4 days in late March. There is no WiFi, cable or sewer hookup at the camp sites and the dump station can get a little busy around checkout time and is a goodly distance from the CG if you plan to use a portable waste cart. Restrooms and showers were clean and the shower was nice and hot. There is a nice paved 2.25 mile trail through the CG and the surrounding area.

      AT&T coverage was not as good as the last time we stayed here a couple of yeas ago, with generally 1 Bar of 5G service and speeds up to 1 MB/s. We had an unobstructed view of the sky and so we were able to receive all 3 SW Dish satellites and good Starlink coverage with speeds between 2.5 and 4 MB/s. We didn’t try to load any OTA channels. 

      You do have pay a daily$7/person entrance fee or purchase a Texas State Parks Pass for$70 if you don’t already have one, which did add considerably to the cost of our stay.

      Holiday Park Campground

      Surprising Off-Highway Park

      I chose this campground for its proximity to Fort Worth, and the lake. Just far enough off the highway to diminish all noise, surrounded by hiking trails, is the well maintained Holiday Park. Offering both water and electric hookups for RVs, some with a cabin included, alongside standard campsites right at the lake shore. Bathrooms are simple, fully functional, and never too far from any site. Sites are all a good size and not too close to neighbors. Nature/Horse trails line the park, and it's fairly quiet. There's some occasional aircraft noise, but no noise from the highway. The ranger station is well staffed and by the book, all the sites are visibly well maintained, cleaned regularly.

      Great time, cool people but tubing didn’t go as expected

      Me and my boyfriend came here to do some tubing down the Brazos river. If you’re camping here and intend on tubing I wouldn’t recommend taking their word on the water levels or flow of the river. We called before heading that way and they told us the flow was great. We ended up walking most of the way since the river was very low in most spots or wasn’t flowing much. Despite this we still had a great time and met some cool people, and the staff was very friendly and helpful. Very laid back atmosphere.

      Serene camping near diverse outdoorsy activities

      Took my dog here for a long weekend excursion. I try not to go for lake based campsites because I don't fish, and I don't have a boat. I was pleasantly surprised at the breadth and quality of the activities in the park. The MTB and hiking trails are first rate, there's a paved walking path around the whole park, and there's a strong geocaching community based near there.

      The walk from the parking lot to the campsite was not too long, but long enough to make the site feel more secluded. While I was there, I saw lots of deer - with some of them even wandering into my campsite.

      I will say, that due to the size of the lake, the winds whipping off of it can be quite intense. Bring a windbreaker if you're going to hike there.

      Nice state park just NW of Ft Worth

      Stayed here when passing through on way to points further west. Nice state park with hiking and historic buildings to see. Our site 5 was fairly private and set apart from some of the other sites that are bunched together along the road.

      Very comfortable planned campsites

      We stayed at the Group campground at the top of the dam, and it was a very nice, level site for our tents. It has a wind-break on one side that we were thankful for when the windstorms rolled through. Accessible by 2WD. 

      Easy access to the docks and to deer blinds to watch the deer come out (no hunting). Carol, one of the ranch managers, gave us a grand tour of the property - there are some beautiful primitive sites in the back of the ranch, including one that is "ideal for backpackers". 

      One thing to note if you are camping around the lake - sound travels. If there are guests at the lodge, you WILL hear them. Luckily, when the kids at the lodge woke us up at 2am with loud music and shouting, the managers were very quick to get them to quiet down.

      Stars are bright out here. Coyotes sang us to sleep.

      Beautiful Lake, great camp spots

      I stayed at the Wild Plum (primitive) camping area with my son in early spring. The trail path to the campsites is further than indicated or implied on the website, which isn't a problem if you're packed light, but if you're car camping with heavy equipment you will be surprised how far it is. I was packed somewhat medium in gear and it was quite a trek to carry all of it with a young child who is basically worthless at lifting things.

      If you're picking a site in this camp area, #117 is right off the trail and nearest to the community restrooms. I did not stay at this spot but did not that it has a great natural spot for a hammock. Sites 119-122 (maybe 123) are right on the lake so you can see ducks and do some bank fishing without needing to go anywhere.

      Wildlife were very quiet and the stars were bright on a clear night. Sites are far enough away that you have to shout at your neighbors, so feel free to stretch out and be yourself without worrying about being too noisy (within reason). There's also a great little park near the boat ramp area. You can swim there, use pavilions for a large group, or fish out on a pier.

      Easy peasy

      We camp in the Wild Plum (walk-in) area a lot when we don't want to travel far from home or want to test new gear. Campsites are roomy and level with convenient water access. Sunset is gorgeous from site 126. Feels very secluded in site 130-131, but those sites can be closed during rainy season due to flooding. Lots of hammocking trees. Plenty of wildlife to keep you company (hang your food bags on the hooks). 

      Lots of easy hiking and very kid-friendly.

      Hard to Believe You’re Next to a Big City

      When we got to Benbrook, we used the campground(CG) website instructions as we didn’t see any signage for the CG on US377 coming in from the east. We turned right onto Pearl Ranch Rd and followed it to the Holiday COE entrance about 2 miles straight down the road. Check in was easy and the guy who checked us in was very informative. We needed to fill our freshwater tank and he pointed out on the map the two dump stations with potable water. We proceeded to the dump station just inside the gate to find out there was not a potable water spigot just the usual rinse hose. We went back to the entrance and he informed us the park ranger had told him they are on well water and thus the water at the dump station was safe, even though there was a sign clearly stating it was not safe to drink. We were then told we could go to an empty camp site that had water hook-ups and fill up there, which we did. Not sure what we would have done if this had been a busy weekend with all of the water sites full. We then proceeded to pull through site 72 with 30/50 AMP. There was plenty of space for our 39’ fifth wheel and F-450 on the asphalt pad. The site had a covered cement patio with picnic table, and bbq/fire pit that we couldn't use due to a burn ban. Site 73 was the only other site in our little cul-de-sac. For the intent of this review, we toured the campground specifically looking for free standing water spigots, but didn't find any. The showers/restroom were old but in workable shape. If you want to stay where we did in sites 72-75 they were definitely electric only, contrary to what other reviews mentioned. There were water spigots at the sites but they had been capped off. Sites 76, 77,& 78 were also electric only and sat up on a hill with a slight lake view but are across the street from a neighborhood that backs up to the park. Sites 83- 93 had water and electric as well as some of the sites near the front of the park. We got 3 bars on Verizon and a whole bunch of OTA channels. We enjoyed the view of the lake and privacy at our site since we were the only ones there the whole time of our stay during the week.

      Fort Richardson State Park Hist. Site and Trailway

      Another great Texas State Park

      Even though a tornado touched down in the nearby small town of Jacksboro during my stay, I enjoyed this state park and all it has to offer. Thankfully no one was killed, although there was a great deal of property damage. It was humbling to see mother nature in all her fury! I was in site 35 which had water and electric (30 amp), no sewer hookups, but dump in the state park. This site backed up to Lost Creek and was set up on the rocky hillside with access to the Rumbling Spring trail right from the site. 

      The campsites on this side of the creek are spaced fairly well apart with green space between them. I was spoiled for 3 days as one of only 2 campers in this section. This is when the wildlife came out. I saw deer and wild turkey every evening, an armadillo and lots of birds.

      The trails are great with something for everyone. I especially enjoyed the Trailway which was well maintained crushed gravel and made for an easy ride into Jacksboro and beyond to the reservoir.  Nice points of interest along the way.

      Not to be missed is the fort which offers self guided tours through the open buildings at specific times only (at the time I was there). If you don't go at the tour time, then the buildings are closed, expect for the old barracks restrooms. 

      The park has a small store and there's trout fishing in the quarry lake. I'll definitely return. Shout out to the park rangers who went above and beyond during the bad weather!

      Johnson Branch — Ray Roberts Lake State Park

      Idyllic and reminds me of summer camp

      Stayed here for only a night, but it was so idyllic—definitely wish I could’ve stayed longer!

      The site I stayed at wasn’t on the edge by the lake, but I was okay with that. I still had a great view of the water and sunset; I wasn’t wanting to swim or fish so I was happy where I was!

      Lots of families and groups coming to camp here, but everyone seemed to have a shared respect for each other. I felt like I was at summer camp again.

      The sites are so well manicured and like the other reviews stated, they’re cut in a way that gives you privacy. The sites are fairly close together but the grass makes it feel like you have your own little oasis.

      Overall, it was well-organized, easy to contact the office, and a great experience.

      Note: Most campsites have a lengthy walk-in distance so be prepared! Bring a cart; it’ll speed things up massively. And definitely bring a canopy or tarp; there isn’t much cover here. But at night, the temperature was quite comfortable, albeit windy.

      Gem close to DFW

      We weren’t expecting much from this park other than a place to test out our new RV. We were greeted by a very friendly Park staff. The RV site and hookups were in great condition. Bathhouse and other areas were clean and easily accessible. Would love to come again.
