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.
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.
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.

Meditatation is easy here. our peace here nice and quiet. Find ye for real. Love this camp site.
ScoutGreat views, clean sites, however there's very limited shade.

The food truck food is not good. I got sick from eating food from there. Ted stores food in freezer without covering it up with lids. One of the park host was showing pictures. I saw the pictures and he also showed other park host. He is not a good park host. Do not ever let him borrow any money because you will never see it back. Do not put a bad review on Facebook because you will get blocked off there page. It's sad that's how they run a business.
Guide
I wish I could rate this campground higher because it was so peaceful with quite a bit of bushy vegetation to provide a small measure of privacy between sites. This is as close to nature as one can get in a campground! There was poison ivy on the trees next to us and in the mowed ground around the campsite. There were so many butterflies, flies, and other flying insects on the sunny side of our RV that it made entering and exiting through the sliding door very difficult. And, the ANTS! After one night in our site, the ants had formed an active trail to the top of our RV. Consequently, we had ants inside the RV!
The roads inside the campground need to be repaved.
The camp host and the park ranger were both very friendly and informative.
Scout
Only stayed one night. Staff were pleasant, check in was fast and easy. Hook-ups are in good condition. Site is concrete.

Place is not consumer friendly and service staff is rude. Throughout the online reservation process nothing is disclosed regarding the terms and conditions. After they take and accept your money, they email you a link to the terms and conditions which MUST you must click ACCEPT in order to stay. Immediately tried to cancel as I didn't agree with some of the terms and they take a$50 cancelation fee. I call not disclosing this information prior to accepting payment, forcing acceptance after the fact and then refusing to return payment a shady practice. An upfront honest business would disclose this and provide a checkbox for you to agree to these terms before they collect your money. They basically twist your arm into signing to the terms and conditions if they already have your money, but refuse your stay and refused to refund in full if you won't sign.

Can over for a day use before the park closes permanently. Such a beautiful park , sad I didn’t get a chance to camp. Let’s start the review.
The trails were nicely labeled the kids and I enjoyed hiking and stoping take in the beautiful park before it gets transform into a million dollar community. Restroom was nice and clean. Visit towards the end of February Ann’s it was such a great weather.
Traveler
Made my reservation on line just a few spots were available. Spot 04 with a water view space is slanted. They had the parking pass ready to pick up so it was not necessary to speak with anyone. The view, electricity, water, and showers was very nice at such an affordable price. Take your cleaning supplies into the bathroom as a precaution, I did not see trash can in the bathrooms. Leave No Trace is not really practiced by other campers so feel free to pick up after someone else this space is beautiful and deserves respect. I enjoyed the rain and the view it was very relaxing and I appreciated a shower as well as powering all my extras before heading on the road to Minnesota. $14 for the space very appreciate.
RangerThe only reason I didn’t give it five stars is the price and not having sewer. There are a lot of cute amenities but everything costs extra. Beautiful grounds and friendly workers. Nice waterfront concrete sites
GuideWe stayed in the month of November. It was cold and rainy but the park did not disappoint. The bathrooms as so clean. The park itself is gated and secure. Each shower has its own toilet and vanity behind a lockable door. Our campsite (532) was a little awkward to get in because of the corner and the speed bumps, but not impossible. There is a pond with a fountain and a HUGE fireplace (not fire pit) for relaxing. We will definitely be back.
Guide
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.
LegendThe 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
TravelerPlenty of room to stretch out. Lots of room to walk the dog. Great atmosphere
ScoutA nice park with like new facilities, clean, and good location to area stores. No pool.
Scout
We stopped by here and unfortunately they were not open. It looks like a beautiful place and there sign says open April-September.
ScoutInternet is great, bathrooms are clean, staff is nice!
ScoutNice spots. You better have a reservation if you’re coming on the weekend . Burn ban wasn’t fun in February but the lake is pretty and park is clean.
TravelerThere 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.
RangerThe park was very clean with four bathroom/shower rooms and laundry room as well. We visited in November and it was quiet with a nice view of the water. The park also has a gate with a code needed to enter.
ScoutGreat for trailers n big rigs clean neat and new
GuideEvery camp site was clean and well kept. Had a beautiful swimming area that we will be going back to try out as we were there in the Fall.
TravelerI camped in the Springfield loop. Fairly new picnic table, decent site for a hammock. I hiked and ran on the Dockery Trail, which has a nice mix of parks and pines. I also visited the swimming area which was a 4 mile drive, though I didn't swim.
TravelerWe stayed here in November so didn’t have any bug problems. It is a new park and very well laid out. The sites are large and easy to pull in and out. They don’t have any extras like clubhouses so you can tell they don’t cater to snowbirds. But it is convenient to heading up to Dallas or south to Waco. The park has a man made lake with jogging trails. We enjoyed our stay.
TravelerGreat staff to welcome you to the park. They are very helpful and friendly.
Our site was level and had some shade. Spacing between sites was fine. Not to close together.
The park is located just off a busy state highway so you do hear traffic, although this didn't bother us too much.
Lots of restaurant locations to choose from within a short drive from the park.
GuideAnother 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.
ScoutThis was our first outing in our recently purchased Class B. We stopped for one night on a holiday weekend but wish we had had more time. Although the sites were close together, they all had concrete pads, full hookups, were level, and had picnic tables. Great view of Lake Tyler. Also very clean. There is a store, great boat dock, and a vendor selling very good bbq. We will definitely come back if in the area.
GuideThis is a beautiful park with lots of Character. The buildings are very cute with vintage signs including lots of neon signs and a few murals. They have a large event center that can be rented with a large patio. They have a store that sells fishing license and bait. They also have a fishing barge and kayaks and boats for rent. I took off 1 star because there pull thru sites are right on the road. We had number # 17 and it was a little tricky to get into the site deep enough that your slides don't stick out into the road. It made our patio area smaller. But it was right on the water so it was worth it. They also have a few motorhome sites. If you happen to book one of those and have a trailer, your truck will be trapped in. These sites you pull straight into. So just look closely at park map and be aware as you are booking. The sites are all concrete and have a picnic table and large fireplace/grill. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. I will return and will recommend to friends.
