Both parks feature air-conditioned cabins with lakefront views, providing a perfect blend of outdoor immersion and modern comfort. The glamping cabins include electricity, comfortable beds, and picnic tables, with easy access to clean shower facilities. "The remarkable area of this park lies not in its campground loop. Take a walk along the lakeshore trail and see the cabins constructed by the CCC and you'll be transported back in time," noted one visitor about Lake Brownwood's historic stone structures. Lost Creek RV Park in Stephenville also offers glamping options with full hookups in a beautifully maintained setting, described by guests as "super clean and really well manicured."

Wildlife viewing opportunities abound, with guests reporting deer sightings and excellent birdwatching, particularly wild turkeys near the primitive sites. Lake Brownwood's CCC-built dance hall provides a unique historic attraction, while Possum Kingdom offers guided nighttime scorpion hunts using black lights. Both parks maintain clean facilities with hot showers, though visitors should pack insect repellent as one reviewer warned, "Black ants rule the park. Plan accordingly."
"This park was definitely out in the middle of nowhere, with a long peaceful drive full of wildlife. We made it to the park entrance, check in was quick."

GuideRestrooms and showers are a little aged but clean. The grounds are clean and mowed. Lake has good access. (Like other campgrounds, I do not like the reservation system , people reserve but don't show up. ) I would like to come back again later in the year.
RangerI grew up going to this lake, but this was my first time camping at the state park. Very nice park, people were very friendly and helpful. Close to town, which is to say you are close to Underwood’s - awesome food!! Worth the trip for that alone. Also, recommend visiting Woody’s Car Museum in nearby Cross Plains - free museum with an awesome car and baseball memorabilia collection.
LegendJust two other campers. Everyone was very quiet. The campground itself was very nice and well maintained. Just the birds chirping and a few armadillos grubbing. Good overnight stay.
ScoutIt's a good park and all but there are things that I feel need to be addressed though whether anything changes or not is another. One can only hope for better.
Pro's: It is a pretty park and has plenty wildlife to enjoy if that's your thing. The staff are nice. The lake is beautiful. I see boaters who appear to be enjoying the water. Very pretty park.
Con's: People don't always respect your privacy at your site. We stayed more than a week and people would randomly walk through our site instead of walking around to get to their site. Not everyone did this but there is always those who don't care about respect & courtesy.
Another thing that we found to be rather annoying was people who walk their dogs into reserved but empty sites or even occupied sites right where people have to walk when camping and letting their dog poop and not pick it up. That is one of the most disrespectful things a camper can do in a park. Hands down anyone who does this should have dog poop put right on their front porch steps. Just saying...
Also, when a sign says "One Way", it says that for a reason. Drivers should pay attention better so it doesn't cause any issue.
Again, it's a nice park but so many people who decide to camp don't care about following rules or respecting another campers space.
RangerStayed at site 58 right on the lake. Quiet due to the time of year and really enjoyed the sunset.
ScoutIf you want to really camp , and not in a 50 footer , this is not a place to do it . Maybe the sites behind the lake would be better . We have camped across the country with a 12 footer teardrop 3 times . . This is my least favorite campsite ! Pads are broken up almost to the point of dangerous. Walked around in flip flops and had tar balls attach to my feet.
LegendSite 69 not level(68 looked better). Both are on green space facing the lake(large grassy area that comprises the beach). Showers old but but great hot water. Flush toilets, walking trail along lake, cabins also near lake. Pretty buggy(gnats/flies--did not see mosquitos). VERY quiet(we were also the only campers in this area).
RangerBeautiful park, staff were extremely welcoming and friendly. Lots of activities (there was a Scorpion hunt our first night - where they meet and use a black light to seek out the little monsters - but my son informed me that was a hard pass. All the same, a cool activity that I would have enjoyed had I been alone (or with less of a fuddy duddy).
Only complaint is the width of the campsite. I don’t know that all were as narrow as ours, but site 20 is a really tight squeeze. Went off the side a couple of times trying to get in. With that narrow width, I was forced to park in overflow parking because with the length of my rig I wasn’t able to fit both truck and trailer on concrete and remain out of the road.
Nice trails for hiking and the Canadian Geese were a true gem for me - something nice about waking up to hear them in the morning (sounds odd, but I found it relaxing. Besides, the are absolutely gorgeous.
Trails are well maintained and very nice, we mostly did the Lakeview Trail, but it was a great hike, not too strenuous but with great views of the lake.
RangerPerfect site right on the water. Nice shade. Nice swimming area.

Swimming areas: Designated swimming zones provide safer water access for families with children.

It seems like a good place for fishing there were plenty of people doing that also," explains Mic R. about recreational options.
Site selection strategy: At Possum Kingdom, sites vary significantly in width and access. "Only complaint is the width of the campsite. I don't know that all were as narrow as ours, but site 20 is a really tight squeeze. Went off the side a couple of times trying to get in," cautions Jim P..
