Fun for all!!!
We stopped by for the night after visiting the state park to meet up with some friends and I'm so glad we took the detour! The site was a little tight. We had one close to the cabins that you can rent and there was just enough room for all our vehicles and tents but not much more. There was the usual picnic table and fire pit. There was a communal spigot for water which is fine. Its more often a luxury for each site to have their own so I wasn't expecting that in this tent spot. but the campground was a different world. Yogi bear's world really.. My friends kids had a blast. There were scheduled activities all day long and the guys were able to go fishing in the nearby lake. We all had a blast. I would go back in a heart beat.

Loved the tent sites
We found this place when our other reservation got messed up, but boy am I glad we did! The tent sites have water and electric at each site. Sites feel secluded and spread out and our was covered by trees so the shade was great!

There was a little litter around the campsite but my son and I tired to clean up as mush as we could before we left.

There was a covered picnic table, fire pit, and grill, and lots of nails on the picnic covering table (although they are up really high, so if you’re short it’s hard to get to them).

We plan on going back and taking advantage of the hiking trails and swimming spot!

Loop A vs E
Overall the lake and wooded areas are good for a day’s enjoyment however the facility is not maintained. Also the entire park is huge so things are not within walking distance so if you don’t have wheels you’ll have to unhook for hike a good long distance to amenities. The bath houses in Loop E are completely neglected. The light in the ladies BH is flickering so badly it was disorientIng, one shower did not work at all, toilets have no “seat”, and it is overrun with bugs (more than the normal campground). The gate entrance attendant is rude and unhelpful. No sewer hook ups at site (E loop) so “community” dumping is necessary. The community dump is run down too with broken equipment and bent connections. Finally, for the camp charges $10/car/day. We have a drivable RV and rented a car so not only did we pay for the site but then paid more to have our car. Not going to stay here again. After dealing with E loop for a couple days we requested to move to A loop. A loop was much better but we were charged $20/day for the “upgrade”. A loop bath house was definitely better but still unimpressive. Office staff was friendlier and helpful (not gate employee).

Large park-awesome sites!
Our first time here and really enjoyed it. The park at lakeside had recently flooded but we were not there to go to the water and our site was not effected at all. The sites are large and all come with a covered picnic table, a fire pit, a bbq grill and hook ups except sewer where we were but we didn’t need it. They have a dump station also. Great price!

Nice, quite, & friendly!
This was our first RV park to stay at with our new RV. We are from out of state and we’re visiting family in the Aledo area. We were welcomed at the office and check in was quick and painless. They even called us ahead to check on us and our arrival time to make sure we would be checked in quickly. The facility is a bit dated, reminds me of the parks my family traveled to when I was a kid, but clean and accommodating. The showers were in need of updated shower heads but other than that it was nice. The slips themselves were concrete and for the most part level. It took us no time to level and have our RV ready to use. The hookups were all in working order and easy to access. The pool is nice and clean, shallow for small children or if you just want to float around in the sun. It wasn’t ever crowded while we were there. There were a couple dog parks and three bath houses. All in all it was a pleasant stay. Shade is limited, welcome to Texas, but there were site with trees. We will be staying again while visiting for sure.

Beautiful park with very spacious sites
Spacious lots that are very easy to back into. Covered picnic tables, fire pit, and grill at each site.This is a fairly large park, but very quiet and peaceful. Lots of trees and birds. Would definitely recommend this park.

Johnson Branch Campsites — Ray Roberts Lake State Park
Expensive but almost worth it
One of the more expensive Texas state parks. Standard electric at 25/night. Large bathrooms and lots of trash bins. Actual pay phones (who knew those still existed?) the trails are for DORBA (Dallas Off Road Bicycle Association) so maybe that explains the horrible lack of signage. Bicycle fix it station.

Great security. I was with my 3 year old after dark, maybe 8PM at the playground on the water. No lights so I used our lamplight. I noticed a truck in the parking lot with its lights on. We were there maybe 90 minutes and the truck kept moving. When we left, they left. I spotted it down the road and saw they were camp rangers. Bodes well that they were keeping tabs on the facilities even if it was just a mom and kid.

Very clean and moist spots are secluded. Lots of REALLY great primitive spots if that's your thing.
