ScoutWe loved the trees and nice wide slips. Nice not to be within 5 feet from your neighbor. Restrooms nice and clean. Appreciate the friendly management. We felt very welcome. We would look forward to staying there again and we recommend it to other travelers!

GuideVery nice campground right off I35. Easy to get to and very very clean. Staff friendly and helpful.
GuideEasy to get here, This place has pull through sites, full hookups, dump and water available. Big rig friendly, made the reservation online, it's not free but needed some electricity to survive thr texas heat. There's a creek closed by and fishing available for guests.
ScoutOriginally booked 2 nights but we were tired out and wanted to rest so we booked 2 more nights The Park is very nice, grass js cut, nice bathroom and shower. Nice cedar and oak trees. Grocery and supplies nearby. Lots of deer to watch Great place to relax Some sites have a covered table and lakeside sites have a steep downhill pad Our rear bumper in site 34 is 9.5 inch higher than the hitch Some rigs might have trouble getting level
GuideSoldiers bluff is a nice little Corp of Engineers campground next to Whitney dam and across from the Corp headquarters. Campground is grassy and covered with shade tree canopies. Campsites can be quite close together, offering little privacy. Picnic tables are provided, but bring your own canopy.
With rain, the park does become flooded, especially encroaching the day use picnic areas.
Additional notes are lots of highway noise, be prepared to hear the spillway siren sounding when the lake is high as flood gates get opened.
Very nice camp hosts that check on campers daily and after storms, etc.
GuideReally pretty free sites right on the water. Sign said you can stay up to 10 days. Bathrooms only with toilets and no running water. They are not the cleanest. Only thing I wasn’t prepared for was all of the geese around the park. They are very loud and will annoy for food. One almost attacked me as my boyfriend and I were cooking dinner. Overall it was alright for a free nights stay.
GuideI would not recommend the spots directly on the waterside. Very windy. There are a lot of mosquitos but overall nice people very crowded and very windy.
ScoutThis RV Park has a great location to Fort Worth. It's less than a mile to Chisholm trail road as well. The park was built by previous owner and done very well but new owners are upgrading park features. The park will feature Chip Seal Roads and RV Covers on every spot. This will be a beautiful place to call home.
