    Dana Peak Campground is located on a peninsula on the shoreline of Stillhouse Hollow Lake in central Texas. The lake offers a wide variety of recreation opportunities, including water sports, hiking, biking, horseback riding, picnicking, large group pavilions, hunting, fishing and more. The facility is one of only two reservable campgrounds on the lake and often fills up on weekends during summer. Stillhouse Hollow Lake was created by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers with the construction of Stillhouse Hollow Dam in 1968. The 6,430-acre lake is located 16 miles upstream of the confluence of the Lampasas and Leon Rivers, which flow into the Little River.

    Recreation

    With 58 miles of shoreline, Stillhouse Hollow Lake is an often uncrowded haven for boaters and fishermen. The campground has a four-lane boat ramp, and visitors who do not have motor boats, canoes or kayaks can rent them nearby. Families can enjoy soaking up the sun, swimming at the beach or exploring the Dana Peak Trails (located just outside the main entrance to the park) by foot, bike or horseback.

The lake has noticeably clear and deep water inhabited by largemouth bass, smallmouth bass and channel catfish. A man-made wetland was constructed on the south shore of the lake, providing an additional 10 acres of wildlife habitat in the area.

    Was absolutely stunning, it’s on a cliff top so your “backyard” is a small trail to a gorgeous overlook of the lake and adjacent cliffs. I didn’t expect to be given this view. The campsite itself is also fairly shaded and there are some cacti but it’s the best spot I’ve stayed at while being there!

    Hill Country Getaway On The Lake

    We stayed at spot 50 in the west look. It was extremely hard to back into, there is a tree right in front that you have to angle around. Site was somewhat level. Bathrooms were a little far away, you could see them from the spot, but it was about a.2 mile walk. Not a lot of street lights throughout the campground made things nice and quiet at night. The site had good Verizon cell service, around 25-50 mbps. The Tmobile service was around the same. The lake was beautiful and there were a ton of trails and spots to sightsee. The big draw for this campground is the proximity to Longhorn Caverns state park, which is a must see and do. Overall the campground was clean, relatively quiet, right next on the lake, with a ton of activities. I would recommend staying at one of the other areas that have bathrooms closer and better sites.

    During our brief but enjoyable stay, we appreciated the warm hospitality of the staff members, Riley and Thomas, who were not only welcoming but also well-informed about the amenities and services. We took full advantage of the facilities, including swimming, doing laundry, playing board games, and using the private bathrooms. The exercise room was particularly impressive, and the spacious and clean lots added to the overall positive experience. I forgot to mention that there is even a convenience store that's open from 10-6.

    Barefoot Fishing Camp & RV Park

    Hidden Gem

    Camped here in a tent for 5 days last spring with my best friend. Very friendly staff, awesome showers and bathrooms, lots of birding and wildlife viewing opportunities. Saw my first tarantula and painting buntings here. Overall cozy vibe, Would 100% camp here again if I was back in Texas. Nestled in the woods beyond Lampasas, it’s not a bad drive back into town if you’re wanting to treat yourself to a meal out. Has an awesome General Store right outside the campgrounds, where you can purchase forgotten items and grab a bite to eat at their little restaurant. Everyone in the area is super friendly and helpful. The General Store people had a potbelly pig they let us feed snacks to when we were there.

    Must Go!

    I had the most amazing time! The Lake is beautiful and the camp grounds are right on the water. Restrooms and showers are clean and close too! Spread out enough to where you aren’t on top of your neighbors, I will definitely be back!

    Peaceful and Comfortable

    Taylor Park was a great place to see the 2024 Solar Eclipse, right in the path of totality. The sites were very well maintained and adequately spaced so as to offer some privacy even though there was very little bush coverage between the sites. The bathrooms and showers were in need of updating and a couple of the toilets were overflowing while the others needed the handle held down to do a complete flush. The trail was not correctly mapped and there was no museum as indicated on the trail map. Our stay was peaceful and comfortable.
