Oak trees provide heavy shade across this Army Corps of Engineers campground on Navarro Mills Lake. Sites feature covered picnic areas with concrete slabs, metal fire rings, and crushed granite surfaces bordered by landscaping timbers. The campground operates with a security gate that closes nightly and allows online reservations up to 184 days in advance.
Highway 31 traffic creates background noise, though the campground itself remains relatively quiet. Site access varies, with some requiring steep entrance angles and uneven terrain. Cell coverage runs around two bars for AT&T users. A boat ramp and dock provide lake access, while a designated swimming area serves families with children. For additional overnight options, campers can explore campgrounds around Bardwell.
Description
Overview
Oak Park is located on the northeastern shore of Navarro Mills Lake in central Texas. Oak Park Day Use area is open from April through September with picnic tables, restrooms, and a swimming beach.
Visitors can enjoy a view of the lake from the facility and participate in popular outdoor actives like swimming and picnicking.

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.Birding 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.
