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.

Mott Park is located on the western shore of Bardwell Lake, less than an hour south of the Dallas-Fort Worth area in north-central Texas. The lake has favorable fish and wildlife habitats, providing plenty of opportunities for fishing and hunting, and great locations for camping, boating and hiking. Deer, armadillo, rabbit, squirrel and a variety of bird species inhabit the area.
Many local fishermen consider Bardwell Lake one of the best kept secrets in the state. Bass fishermen seldom leave empty-handed. Crappie fishing is moderate, and catfish are usually excellent. The lake has a marina with fishing piers, two of which are enclosed (a small fee is charged for the use of these facilities), and there are several designated hunting areas around the lake, including those for duck hunting.
The park is grassy and partially forested with plenty of open space where children can play. The lake's blue water provides a refreshing break from the Texas heat, while bright bluebonnets and other wildflowers surround the lakeshore each spring.
Numerous amenities, as well as cultural and historical attractions, lie in the nearby cities of Dallas and Fort Worth.

Speegleville Park is perched on the south end of a scenic cove of Waco Lake. The park provides outdoor recreation options like boating, jet skiing, fishing, swimming and bird watching.
The main lake shoreline has a large amount of submerged timber, which typically holds fish year-round. Anglers will find plenty of catfish, crappie, large and smallmouth bass as well as sunfish. At least 51 species of fish inhabit the lake's waters, and a record flathead catfish weighed in at a whopping 59.5 pounds. A four-lane boat ramp helps visitors enjoy the lake.
Waco Lake, located in central Texas within Waco city limits, boasts 79,000 acre-feet of water, providing irrigation and drinking water to residents of the Waco area. The lake is primarily fed by the Bosque River, which runs for 115 miles through central Texas.
For local information, please call (254) 756-5359 or call (877) 444-6777 for general information.
Horseback riding, hiking and biking can be done on the 20-mile Lacy Point Hiking and Biking Trail. The trail is accessible from the Lacy Point boat ramp, which is a short drive around the cove.

Awesome long term spot. Has a concrete RV pad that you can park your camper on or park beside it and use the very long pad as your patio, which is what we did. Management very responsive to needs and any questions you may have. This spot is on a very quiet area with minimal boat traffic. We had one camper behind us and they were super quiet. Super nice. Laundry at the office for reasonable price to use the washers and dryers.
ScoutThis is a great, non-- parking lot style campground. Every site is covered with trees, and though they are a bit close together you feel connected with nature. Two restaurants within walking distance. Shaved ice within walking distance. Kayaks available. There’s a nice designated swimming area in the lake, and a fishing pier. The hosts are very accommodating.
Guide
The new owners are going all out to make this a family friendly RV park/campground/marina. Only having it for 14 months, you can see the improvements made. There is a store on site for all your needs, that includes wine from the owners own winery. There a a grill also on sight. The campground is gravel pad sites that are mostly level (try site3). They have cabins if you don’t have a RV. Very friendly and eager to make your stay wonderful.
Our visit was a week before Christmas and the decorations were up and beautiful. Give them a try, as we give them a recommendation.

Stayed here in the family camper for four nights in early Aug, 2023 and was blown away by the amazing service. They answered all our questions kindly and when the fridge broke down in our camper they even called out a local Waco company here to come out and fix it for us. 5/5 stars!
TravelerThis place was just downright amazing. It was our first RV trip and James was so helpful!! The roads were extra wide and every site was pull through! They have thought of everything here. The cabins and treehouses are just adorable and shine on the lake at night. I felt extremely safe as a solo female traveler with a kiddo in tow. Not a speck of trash in sight! I think we have been spoiled for every other campsite now!! I HIGHLY recommend this place. The bathrooms and showers were cleaner than my own at home!!

Jake from the Dyrt here! Purdon Groves has a few awesome glamping tents near Waco Texas overlooking a working farm. Check them out and make sure to share some pics of your stay!
GuideThis is a great park! We enjoyed our 2 day stay here. The bathrooms leave much to be desired (like air conditioning for one) but the park more than makes up for it. The sites are shaded and well maintained. The park has received some upgrades with more planned. The swimming area is well marked and nice hard sand bottom. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here.
ScoutGreat campground on the lake except no wifi (yet).
Guide
Beautiful small state park. We usually tent camp but this time we decided staying at a cabin. Nice, beautiful and modern cabins. Love the enclosed porch and open porch as well. The cabin was spacious enough for our family of 6. The new family restroom close to the cabins was great, nice and clean. I will be back.
GuideI stopped in to use the showers, not realizing they were outdoor showers. The water was turned off, but the park looks to be very well taken care of.
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.
LegendAshley here from The Dyrt! It was great to add this campground with plenty of lodging types. From cottages to RV spaces, they have it all. Book your stay today and come back here to leave a review!
TravelerMy wife and I rented a cabin for Christmas. It was clean and new. Wonderful bathrooms nearby. We hiked the trails and went and checked out the little lake.
The park staff where super friendly. We had a great stay.
I would give it 5 stars, but the park does not have RV sites. Cabins and primitive camping only
Legend
Pros
Discount with National Park pass
Shady
Quiet
Dark sky friendly
Nice metal roof cover over concrete picnic table
Saw park ranger drive thru during daylight
2 bars T-MOBILE
Successful streaming with T-MOBILE hotspot device
Cons
So day #2 without any TP in men’s restroom. Went to front gate to report it and was told they would call it into the Army Corps of Engineers as gate volunteers have no stock of TP on hand. Never saw any TP before leaving on third day
Toilet facility #1 women’s had raw sewage throughout deep enough to cover your foot. Site 11 has electrical hook up at rear on the door side of the camper
Site 11 water connection is centered at the rear of the parking pad.
Site 11 unlevel.
Numerous piles of charcoal ash throughout site 11 campsite not in the fire pit.
Concrete picnic table needs degreased as surface has lots of large greasy stain
Site numbers are painted on the concrete picnic table so extremely difficult to see in the dark.
No WIFI
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
Ranger
Overall another great COE as far as big open level spots. Most spots have covered picnic tables. Fire rings, and grills at each spot also. Lots of critters..especially armadillos! Bathrooms are less then to be desired, very few showers work, and those that do were a bit in a need to be repaired. Overall nice quiet area, nice clean dump station (one of the best we have seen). Would stay here again.
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.
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.
LegendLots of clean campsites with improved fire rings and concrete tables. There are full RV hookups and covered awnings at sites. There are plenty of showers, both pit and modern toilets, shared bathrooms, and private bathrooms. There are everal Beach areas with sand and awnings, covered playgrounds, and boat ramps. This is a pretty popular campground, so if you're looking for isolated this is probably not your spot. Bring bug spray, buy your firewood in Corsicana or Waco as there isn't any wood in Dawson. You can collect deadfall to burn.

Friendly staff at check-in. We stayed in campsite 29 which is kind of elevated a bit and we had a great view of the lake. Even tho it rained quite a bit we still enjoyed ourselves. Local sheriff’s dept and park ranger made several trips through the park which made it feel secure. Bathroom facilities were clean. We would definitely stay here again.
Guide
We stayed on a spot right by the lake. The water was beautiful and it was very quiet. We loved everything about this spot. I would highly recommend this park. We came to Waco go to to see the Silos. It is about 25 minutes away.
ScoutStayed here last weekend, the 2 primitive spots are completely separated and private from the rest. Already reserved the same spot for a few weeks from now
Traveler
We tent camped in a primitive spot #47. Overall the spot was nice but not very level making the best placement of our large tent a bit of a challenge. Vault toilets were clean and had hand sanitizer. The nature and hiking in this park was our favorite part. Even rented a canoe and paddled across the lake to the river. Park staff were friendly and helpful. Some primitive tent sites are right on the edge of the lake and after a big rain were very swampy. I believe all sites had partial shade and some have more privacy than others. We did spot some full hook up sites in the RV section that have good space for a tent set up and we may try that next time cause we definitely will be back.
GuideVery pretty lake views and tons of grass. My dog loved going for runs through the grass (while on her leash).
They had some showers and toilets working again when I went. Hot water was very nice! Not the cleanest bathrooms but not the worst either.
Sites had electricity, water, and covered picnic tables. Trash cans were readily available.
Gate keeper was SUPER friendly and let me know what to do if I needed assistance.
Would recommend
RangerThe front guardhouse/entrance is extra campy. Low light and decorated with 69 yo 74lb catch pictures. This is by far the most fisherman geared Texas State Park we have been to and it's our 12th!
The playground is nicer than expected. The tr ails are well-marked.
A quirk of this park are the neighbors. You drive by 8 plus mailboxes while inside the State Park. An abandoned home half collapsed is seen from the roadway. So that's unique.
Beautiful and generally well kept. It's an older style but they have a newer playground area next to the old one.
For a family I give this a 2. For Fisherman a 5. For everyone else a 3.
TravelerAlways clean, quiet and very friendly staff.
